WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?

PHOEBE'S POV.

"W_h_a_t! "

I yelled looking from face to face. my Mum froze

"What is the meaning of this? "

I directed this to Harold who still had the stupid grin on.

"Baby I know we agreed to hold on a little but I thought about it and I realized this is the right time. I want us to live together officially as husband and wife before Xavier turns 4 . Mum and Dad here thinks it's a good idea and two weeks is enough time to get prepared."

My Mum looked at me and nodded in agreement. I rolled my eyes and took a step towards Harold.

"What is wrong with you! How dare you make decisions like this without my consent ! If you think you've got me hooked because you have Mum and Dad involved then you must be a dreamer! "

he got to his feet and placed both hands on my shoulder.

"See I understand this is so sudden and all but believe me, it's the best thing I can give you. I'm tired of being your boyfriend. I want to be your husband Phoebe why can't you understand me? "

"Why are you doing this? "

I asked calmly.

"Because I love you....so much! " 

He must be crazy because he knew very well that I didn't love him..not in that way. And after everything I recently found out about him?

"I'm not getting married to you Harold. Not in two weeks time,not ever! And no one should think he or she can get me to change my mind!"

I breathed out and run up the stirs before anyone could say anything. I had forgotten tPercy was in my room and stopped  dead when I saw him sitting on my bed.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Y..yea...I am ....so...you wanted to talk? " I changed the topic.

" uhh, I'm moving out,today."

He waited for a reaction and when he didn't get any, he went on.

"I talked to Lawrence and he agreed. I don't think it's a good idea to reveal the real identity of your Son's father to your parent when I'm still in their  house. It'll be kinda awkward."

"So you have a place already?" I asked.

"No. As much as I hate it I'll have to move to my dads till my place is ready"

I nodded and sat across from him. That would be a whole hour drive from here, I thought to myself.

"Are you ok? " he asked again.

"Yea."

I said but he wasn't convinced.

"I hope you understand Phoebe..."

"Yes I do. it's a good idea....it's.fine..."

My face fell. He touched me lightly on the cheek.

"Are you sure you are ok? "

I nodded.

"I'll be leaving now then...."

He pulled me into a tight hug and I hugged him back.

"See you around."

It was more of a question than a statement and I nodded.

****************

        Mum called out to me from the door and I knew that emotion in her voice. I rolled my eyes and pulled the blanket over my head.

"Will you open this door right now! " she yelled.
