SOULMATES

THIS MADNESS MUST STOP.

PERCY'S POV.

She walked in looking gorgeous as always. My heart leaped in excitement as she made her way to me.She glaced around on reaching our table and gave me a warm smile.

"Nice place."

She complemented. The little guy rushed to me and I scooped him into my lap giving him a little tickle. He shrieked, kicking his legs and stretching out his arms to his mother,asking for help. I laughed.
I looked up at Phoebe and found her smiling at us. My heart warmed.I beaconed to the waitress.

"Do you allow the kids in there at this hour?"

I pointed to the little playground.

"Of cause sir." She answered.

"The lights are pretty deem over there..."

Phoebe began to say.

"They're bright enough." I cut in, giving her an assuring smile.

"Can I go now? " Xavier asked eagerly and she nodded.

The waitress smiled kindly at him before taking his little hand in hers and leading him away.

"Careful honey."

His mother called after him..

"So, what will you take? " I asked.

"Mango juice will do." .

"You never change." I chuckled and she giggled.

       We talked for hours. We laughed and teased each other. It was fun. We were having a good time bonding over our child Until I saw Harold walk in.

"Oh boy! " I exclaimed.

Phoebe asked what was wrong and turned around to see him too. She scratched her forehead nervously, giving me a pleading look. He dragged a seat to our table without invite and sat down, smiling like he just received a present.

"Good evening to you Percy... Good evening my love...wow you look splendid today...... i'm sorry to interrupt your little party..."

Then turning to me,

"I can't help it,protecting what's mine you know."

He grinned.

My fists clenched together.

"No you should try to understand me...I mean.. Just few weeks to our wedding.... Anything can happen right!"

My eyes widened and I nearly choked on my own saliva.I looked at Phoebe but she refused to meet my eyes. Seriously? They were getting married? When was she going to tell me.

"Oh, she didn't tell you? Pardon me. I wanted her to break the news herself but since I spoiled the fun....let me see....."

He reached inside his back pocket, pulled out a white and cold card then tossed it at me.

"That's for you....I'm sure you cannot refuse to honour this invite. Phoebe would be disappointed."

He pouted like a little child,got to his feet  abruptly and waved us goodbye.

"See you then... See you love... Don't stay out long ok. You have to protect that skin. It has to glow on that day."

He winked at her and walked out.

I looked at Phoebe who was at the Verge of tears now. I shook my head and got to my feet. The world seemed to be spinning and my head was splitting.

"Percy...."

I heart her call but I walked on. I didn't turn till I got into my car and pulled out of the packing lot.

*So much for having hope..fuck*
