Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 17

I loose Harry at one point. He gets dragged around and I give up. I should just leave.

He has every friend he needs, he won't notice me gone. I should call Anne and call the deal off. I can work two jobs and pay her back while I pay the rest of the debt.

I am in love with him. The deal was to stall him until he finds the right one and I don't think I can do that anymore.

I decide its time to leave and get up when Jeff comes to me.

"You did a great job. I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you so much." He says and gives me a hug. I am about to cry.

"You ok Alex?" He asks suddenly.

"Yeah I am fine. Didn't sleep much last night." I admit and he nods. He then parishes back into the crowd and I am alone once again. I should just leave my present at the present bin and leave.

Its pretty stupid against the gifts everyone else here got him but what can I do. I try my best but it isn't and never will be enough for him.

Tears roll down my cheeks. I grab my purse and start to walk out. I am halfway to the door when someone grabs my arm.

"Alex!" Its Harry. I turn around while I wipe my cheeks and curse myself for not wearing waterproof mascara.

"Whats wrong? Why are you crying?" He asks me as he pulls me closer and I jolt my arm free.

"Its nothing. I'll see you on Wednesday if you call us in." I say as I wipe under my eyes and keep walking. Just when I am about to reach the door, he holds my arm and pulls me to him again.

"Alexandra. Whats going on?" He yells over the music as he pulls me to his chest. I smell his cologne and his accent kills me. Why is he so god damned attractive?

"Harry- Just...." I don't know what to say without giving myself away.

He grabs my hand instead and starts to pull me back into the club. Instead of going to the dance floor, he leads me upstairs and gets me in a bathroom and locks the door.

"Whats wrong?" He asks once again as I put the lid down on the toilet and sit on it. We are in a girls bathroom and Harry is standing by the door while I sit in one of the cubicles with the door open.

"Jeff told me you invited everyone. The party is great. Thank you." He says as he kneels in front of me and holds my hands.

"You're welcome." I say as another tear rolls down. Harry catches it with his finger and wipes it off.

"Tell me whats wrong." He presses on.

"Here's your present." I say in order to change the subject and hand the small box to him. He takes it, never leaving eye contact with me.

He opens the small box and sees the ring I got him. He takes it out the box and holds it in between us in the air, examining whats on it.

"You were going on and on about how not compatible we were so I got you a ring with the Taurus and Aquarius constellations on it to prove you otherwise." I say and he lets out a little laugh as he puts it on his middle finger.

"You don't know what this means to me. Thank you so much." He says and gives me a hug. I start to cry again.

"Harry just please let me go! I'll see you on Wednesday." I say as I try to over come his barricade when he gets up and stops me by throwing his arms around me.
