Keeping You Forever [sequel to Can I Keep You?]

Chapter 23

[ Zayn ]

"So where have you been all this time?"

"Why did you disappeared?"

"You didn't contact us before you idiot!"

Everyone's asking different questions and throwing rants at Harry but he seems unfazed. He's just smiling at them, looking really happy to see us....his friends.

"Sorry about what happened before. I just had a really rough time so I had to leave and decided to fix my life then." Harry says calmly.

"Are you okay now?" Dan asked.

Harry nodded. "Very. I'm so much better than before. Oh and I got Sam back with me 6 months ago. It was a hard work to get him from Gemma but after Zach talked to her, she finally said yes."

Sam! Oh my God I missed my son so much! Should I asked Harry if I could see my baby? What if he doesn't let me? What if Sam is angry at me for leaving him?

"You should bring Sam the next time you went here!" Niall shouts and Harry laughed.

"Of course. He missed everyone."

Everyone kept chatting at each other while I sat here at the corner of the living room while fiddling with my fingers. After a very awkward dinner for me, they quickly went here to interrogate Harry while the two girls, Dana and Danielle were still on the kitchen, washing the dishes. Dana arrived late and she was shocked when she saw Harry talking with Louis. Harry on the other hand just waved and smiled at her.

"So where's Zach by the way?" Liam asked. He's sitting beside Harry on the couch. They were all excited to hear Harry's stories and I had to admit, I'm curious too.

"I was taking him with me but he refused. He told me that it's my time to catch up with you guys and beside, he has a gig tonight so he can't really come. I'll bring him next time." he said in a cheery voice and I can't help but smile to myself. I missed that deep voice of him. It's been a long time since I last heard it.

The broken Harry that I last saw is now gone. Here with us is a very happy looking guy. The smile never leaves his face, his dimples always showing and his eyes glowing.

Atleast one of us has finally moved on and I'm glad it's Harry. He deserved to be loved, to be happy.......with someone else.

"Zayn?"

I blinked.

"Are you okay?"

I raised my head, meeting Harry's eyes. I gulped. "W-what?"

"Are you okay? You're kinda spacing out." he asked in a concern voice.

"Umm...sorry. I just remember something." My eyes never leaves his face, memorizing every piece of it on my mind. He's a lot more handsome now. He even gained weight that fits his body well. Gone is the boyish Harry. He's now very manly.

"How are you?" his raspy voice caught my attention again. He's staring at my face and I could feel my heart beating so fast.

He's talking to me right? He's asking how am I? He's still concern?

"I...I'm good."

His smile widen. "That's great. So how's your job?"

"Fine."

Harry nodded. I noticed that eventhough our friends are not looking, I know that their ears are on the two of us. Nosy bastards.

"How's Luke?" he asked again. Something flicked on his eyes but it's quickly gone. Is he jealous or something?
