Chapter 20.

BRIDGET.

"You look like you just got run over by a truck"

"Geez,thanks Linda"

"Whats up girls?" Tom joined in the conversation while carrying his tray of food. It was lunch time and we all sat together in the cafeteria munching on our food.

"Where do you stuff all that food..if you ask me,I think that's quite a lot."

"Aren't you just a ray of sunshine today. Besides, i didn't ask for your opinion" Tom replied with a scowl.

"Whoa,can someone tell me what is in the water supply..I'm only trying to lighten up the mood" After the incident with Harris,I've being in a gloomy state and up till now,I've tried my hardest not to take out my frustrations on anybody.

Feeling guilty for my earlier outburst,i decided to apologise "Forgive me. I don't know whats wrong with me". I lied.

"I think i do. You haven't told me how your date with Harris went. Judging from that beautiful necklace,i presume it went pretty well but the look on your face says otherwise." I visibly cringed by the mere thought of it.

A week has gone by and i haven't heard anything from him and honestly i wouldn't blame him. I haven't summoned up courage to call him either. I held on to the necklace he gave to me because i felt like i had a part of him with me and as such,i never take it off.

"I don't want to talk about it ok so please,just drop it" I wasn't in the mood for her sermons.

"Ok this is my cue to leave..See you guys later" Tom stormed off faster than the speed of light. Ever since he caught his fiancee cheating on him,his being pretty much on his own and has refused to get back on the dating game.

"You have to..Its been over a week and I've given you more than enough time so,you better tell me whats wrong or else I'll march down to Harrison's office and demand an explanation"

Knowing Linda,i knew she wasn't kidding around and so,i told her everything. She didn't interrupt me until i was done.

"But why did you say no?" I could tell she was sad for me but at the same time ready to smack me.

"I don't know. I mean he took me off guards and besides,what can a guy like that want with someone like me. I think its better this way ok" I had a calm facade on and kept telling myself that it was for the best.

"Are you kidding me? Let me get this straight; The richest and most sought after billionaire in the country asked you out of which you declined and you claim its for the best?" At this point,i was starting to think of my safety.

"Calm down Linda."

"What are you actually afraid of. You cant let the past continue to hunt you. Give yourself a chance to love and be loved in return. Stop shutting people out"

It is true i tend to shut people out so that i wouldn't feel the disappointment that was bound to come and that has helped me a lot but with Harris,i just couldn't shut out completely and it actually hurts not knowing what to do and how to go about this.

"Don't over think things,just let your heart lead you my friend..i want to see you happy with Harris or any other guy you choose but in order for that to happen,you've got to give him a chance." I looked at my best friend with a new found respect. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but i was willing to at least give it a try and hopefully,Harris would have the same resolution.

"You know what,i think your right." She gave a look clearly stating she was always right."I'm going to talk to him and clear things up."

"That's the spirit girl and yes,i'm the best" She said with a smirk.

"I didn't say that"

"Oh well,someone had to say it" I nodded in disbelief but chuckled anyway.

****

It took a lot of courage for me to finally admit i was wrong and that i missed him terribly. Luckily,i would be able to fix that soon enough.

Standing in front of Harrison's Penthouse,I rang the door bell before i could change my mind. A woman in her late 40's,who i assumed to be the maid greeted me politely.

"Hi. I'm here to see Harris. Is he home?" She gave me a knowing smile before creating enough room by the door for me to come in.

"His home but not in great shape i must confess. His been in his room all week and has refused to see anyone"

That came as a shock to me. On one hand i felt ecstatic because he was in his current state because of me,at least i hope it was because of me but on the other hand,i was sad i caused him that much pain.

"What about Max. I'm aware he stays with his uncle"

"Oh yes,the kid is with Mr Harrison's friend,Jerry. Due to his current state,Mr jerry felt it was best the kid stayed with him for the time being." I nodded my head in understanding.

"I'm sorry dear but I'm afraid,i cant stay any longer. Mr Harrison ordered me to leave for now but I'll be back to check up on him. If you still want to see him,you can go up to his room." I was taken aback by this sudden twist of event,mostly because i haven't been in a man's room..Ever.

"Are you just going to leave me here? I mean you don't know who i am. I could very well be an armed robber you know."

She only smiled at me while picking up her bag. "But your not" She waved at me one last time before leaving the Pent house.

Taking a deep breath,i went in search of Harrison's room and dare i say,it wasn't an easy task but thankfully after so many trials and errors,i got the right room.

The room was dark but somewhat illuminated by the slightly parted curtains and i could make out a figure buried beneath the sheets. Walking with caution to avoid stumbling,i pulled the curtains apart to bring in some light though the sun was slowly disappearing.

There was some shuffling on the bed before he finally spoke up.

He wasn't coherent enough because he had his head underneath the covers but i could hear him somewhat. "Matilda, you need to go home" Apparently he thought i was the maid.

Acting like i wasn't affected by his voice,i approached his bed and sat at the edge of the bed before pulling the thick covers away from his face.

He squinted his eyes as he tried to regain composure.

"Bridget, is that you? Bridget why." He hiccupped. "Why are you torturing me?" It turns out he was also drunk. I didn't know what to do at this point and the only thing i could think of was to put him back to sleep.

Without thinking twice,I decided to sing him a lullaby and thankfully he went back to sleep in no time. I carefully placed the sheets around his body and got up from his bed but only to realise he had a firm grip on my wrist. I tried prying it off but that got me no where.

I pulled off my shoes and laid next to him on the bed while resting on his chest.

It felt nice being in his arms even though he was out of it but that didn't just stop the jitters in my belly.

"Sweet dreams my love" I pecked his cheeks before allowing sleep consume me.

I'm finally done with this chapter. I'm excited to see whats gonna happen when they wake up.

Tell me what you think would be Harrison's reaction..
