The Unbelievable (Book Two)

Chapter 21

"What time tonight?" I asked Hailey as she talked about coming over to my apartment. 

I was getting ready to leave the mail room for the evening and I knew Harry was meeting me downstairs outside of my building. The package was heavy as I tried to hold it and my old purse with my cell phone between my shoulder and my ear.

"About seven probably," she started laughing at someone and I wondered who she was with now.

"Ok, Harry will be over, but I know he won't mind," I sighed and tried to open the door to leave and then lock it up.

"Ok, cool. I'll see you in a few," she hung up and I dropped my package and my old purse onto the floor making a huge scene for everyone to stare at me. 

"Shit," I cursed under my breath.

I shoved my phone in my purse and then locked the door to the mail room before picking all of my stuff back up. My cheeks were pink as everyone watched me painfully walk down the hallway. If only they all knew what my future holds...first I was going to be Lorraine's assistant in just a month and a half and then at the start of next year, I was going to be Burberry's campaign star, and both of those would lead to who knows what.

Then there was Harry. He was about to become a huge star and our lives were separating once again. It seemed like every time we start to fall for each other harder and harder, we get shoved in opposite directions. He was going back to America too soon and I was staying here with my new job. That is if I accept it... I could always go back to America and travel with Harry. I know he wouldn't mind. 

He was standing outside leaning on the building waiting for me with his phone pressed to his ear. He was mumbling something about the tour and the set list, but I didn't understand the specifics of it all. We walked down the street towards my apartment with him still on the phone and me left holding this huge package and huge secret. 

The phone call took forever to end. We walked back to my apartment and I took a shower and shaved my legs before he ended the call. With my wet hair, I sat at the table eating some grapes watching him text on his phone.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, plucking a grape from the stem.

"Yeah, just business. How was your day after I left?" He looked over at me from the couch.

"Good," I smiled and took another grape into my mouth.

"I have to go pick Kiara up from a friend's house. Do you care if I bring her over?" he asked and I frowned.

"Uh sure, I guess," I shrugged my shoulders. I don't know why he couldn't drop her off back at her mom's.

"Ok?" he gave me a sour look. "If it makes you uncomfortable to have her over, I'll bring her back to my place."

"Where's Jade?" I looked down at my phone as he walked across the room.

"Working," he sighed. "I'll just take her to my place. Don't worry about it, Cal."

"Harry," I sighed feeling like a total bitch. He was at the door and he walked out slamming it behind him.

A few minutes later, Hailey knocked on my door. I opened it letting her in with Kendra right behind her. 

"Hey, where's Harry?" she dropped her bag on my table. 

"He's ugh, he's watching, ugh, he's looking after one of his friend's kid."

"You alright?" she asked as Kendra walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I smiled up at her. I decided then to keep my secret as the new campaign star of Burberry's. It wasn't the right timing to tell everyone and I needed to think about it before I actually did accept that I would do it.
