I tap my fingers on my desk as I try to think of anything else but Harry.

I've been ignoring his calls and avoiding him all day.

The elevator dings and when they open a upset Harry storms out toward me with my secretary behind him.

"I'm sorry Miss.Reeb I tried to stop him." she tells me.

"It's okay, just go back downstairs." I tell her and she nods before walking to the elevator.

"What's up?" I ask Harry.

"You've been avoiding me." he tells me.

"No I haven't."

"Yes you have. You wont answer my texts or calls, you left before I woke up, and you told your secretary not to let me up!" He plops down in my chair before looking up at me. "Why are you doing this?"

"Hmm maybe because I'm a rebound." I answer.

"Your not a rebound! When I met you it was quite a few months from when Jenny and I left each other!" He tells me.

"But you got another girl pregnant just like you got me-"

"The baby wasn't mine."

His words stop me short.

"What?" I croak.

He sighs before running his fingers through his hair. "Jenny cheated on me and got pregnant. She told me it was mine and I believed her.... I didn't have that much to offer a child or Jenny so I got involved in some stupid stuff."

"Garrett." I whisper and he nods.

"After that Jenny admitted that the baby wasn't mine and when I broke up with her she miscarried. But she still tells people it was mine." he plays with his fingers.

"Did you want a baby though?"

"Yes but not this way. I wanted to wait until I found the right girl... I mean I found you and your the greatest thing ever but I wish we could have waited." he sighs and I stand up.

"So you didn't get me pregnant on purpose?" I ask as I walk up to him.

He shakes his head. "Of course not love."

I sit down next to him and turn to him but I don't look at him.

"So do I owe you an apology?" I ask.

"I think we both owe one."

"I'm sorry." we say in unison.

"I shouldn't have gotten carried away." I feel tears come on and Harry's eyes widen before he pulls me into a hug.

"Don't cry love. I would have dealt with it the same way. Just please don't cry." he says as he rocks me back and forth.

"I feel horrible about it. I jumped to conclusions and it messed us up." I cry and he shakes his head.

"No babe. Just Stop crying please, I hate it when you cry." he whispers as he rubs my back.

"I can't." I sob.

"Jesus." he curses as he pulls away to see my face. "Breathe, calm down."

I get up and Lean against my desk. Harry grabs my shoulders and rubs them.

"Breathe slowly." he tells me.

I listen to him and slowly I calm down.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Do you want something?"

"Yes."

"Water?"

"Yes."

He walks over to my water tank and gets a cup before filling it. When he brings it back he presses my seizure medicine in my palm.

"You forgot to take those this morning." he informs me and I nod.

I throw them back and take a drink of the water before putting the cup down.

"Can I have a kiss?" He asks after a moment and I nod before kissing him.

"I love you so much Jayden, and I hate you being mad at me." he says after we pull away.

"I hate being mad at you." I run my fingers through his hair.

"Don't ever get mad at me then."

"Don't do stupid things that make me mad."

"Touché." He chuckles and I kiss his cheek.

"Lunch?" I ask hopefully and he smiles.

"I somehow knew you were hungry." he takes my hand and leads me out of my office but I have a weird feeling that something isn't right, not with me and Harry or Jenny and Harry but with me.
