My Old Best Friend

Chapter 8

Timothy's POV

"Mr. McKay?" My secretary poked her head in, she looked as if she was afraid to come and approach me like she usually does.

"Is everything okay, Grace?"

"Yes it's just your brother is here to see you." She shyly smiled.

"You can send him through." She nodded and disappeared to send Gerald in I suppose.

"Hey big brother!!" He approached me.

I got up, buttoning my jacket, I went up to him, and hugged him. "What's up?"

"Oh nothing I'm just bored."

"Well you can stay here and play around in the office but I mean it, do not scare or seduce any of my employees."

"Fine fine. I think I'm just gonna go visit Harmony then."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because she told me to visit her when she came down. She may have lost contact with you but she never did with me."

Well that hurt. "Okay give her my love."

"She's married, Tim."

My face turned to a shock upon hearing this. "To whom?"

"Ryan Tenner."

"Oh okay." I can't believe her. I told her never to go out with him that he wasn't good for her and that he has always been cheating on her with one hoe to the next. "Well tell her hi for me."

"Will do see ya later Casanova!" He started walking out.

"Stop calling me that!"

Gerald's POV

He still loves her. It's actually sad that he was too late, she told me on the day of her wedding that if Tim ran through the church doors then she would give him another chance. I know her and him, they have always belonged together. Oh well I guess they will figure it out. "Harmony?" I knocked on the door of her hotel room.

"Gerald?"

"In the flesh. You gonna let me in girl?"

She opened the door but when I went to give her a hug a realized that she has gotten a lot shorter than I thought she would. Then I looked down and saw a little girl. "Harmony you let yourself go!" I said commenting on her height.

"Shut up." She came up behind the little girl and give me a hug. "How have you been?" She let me come inside moving the little girl out of the way and walking with her to the beds.

"Oh you know the usual. I'm living with Tim right now." I saw how she stiffened at his name but tried to shrug it off. "He says hi, ya know."

"Well hey back to him." She replied while opening a door and letting the little girl go through.

"Who was that?"

"One of my kids. What happened with your parents?"

"They are just so controlling. Why wouldn't you let me meet her?"

"No reason. Now are they controlling or are you retarded?"

"Controlling."

"Sometimes parents try to do what's best for their kids. They don't know the difference between listening to them and smothering them. You understand what I'm saying?" She walked over to the mini fridge and took out two cans of Coke and tossed one to me.

I caught it with ease and said, "Yeah I get it but come on Har."

"I'm just telling you the truth."  

"Yeah I know I know." I sat back on the couch and we began to catch up what's been going on.

_____________

"So you're kid thinks that your husband is cheating on you?" I asked to clarify.

"Yeah its silly right?"

"Well I mean you married Ryan."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"It means that you know in your heart what's going on."

"He's not cheating on me."

"Harmony."

"He's not." She stared at me with the most intense eyes I've ever seen.

"Okay." I said then I finished off my third coke.

Buzz

"Sorry that's probably Tim."

She waved it off. "Take it."

I nodded and answered the call.  "Hey big bro." Harmony mouthed that she was gonna go to check on the kids.

"Hey, I left work early want to go out to eat?"

"You have money to go out to eat?"

"5...4...3...2..."

"Yeah let's do it."

"Invite Harmony and whomever she brought. I'll treat them to The Melting Pot."

"Okay." I hung up with call with that.

"So you have dinner plans?" Harmony said coming out of the other room.

"Oh yeah. Tim asked to go out. He invited you guys if you feel like coming of course."

"Oh...I'd have to see how they feel about that."

"Okay well I'll just wait here and I'll drive you there myself."

"Alright."

If this doesn't drive them back together it's going to be hell to get them to talk to each other.
