Chapter 8: Due date

Chapter 8: Due date

Harry and I had caught a cab. He decided we went to this one tour place in Vegas where you ride in swan boats. He thought it would be a great idea since that was what married, romantic couples did and we couldn't go to any amusement park. The cab ride was pretty quiet and intense. I turned to my side of my window trying to avoid any contact with Harry.

Harry: Alexis

Me: Yea?

Harry: I just wanted to apologize for the well walking in on you incident. I had no plan on seeing you--

Me: I forgive you but remember to knock next time please.

Harry smiled and nods his head.

Harry: Man I can't believe I saw you and your

Me: Yes yes can we not bring it up.

Harry: Soooo naked.

Me: Harry!

Harry: What? ...... Soooo naked. 

I slapt him as he bursted out laughing. 

Harry: I'm only messing around with you.

Me: And it's not funny. 

Okay it was pretty funny. I couldn't keep back my smile. I had began to laugh and smile.

Harry: Now there is that real genuine smile of yours. It's been a long time since I have seen it.

Me: What do you mean? I smile. See

I smile

Harry: Yes but it's not your genuine smiles. You smile when you are embarrassed or are feeling awkward. And it doesn't show off your dimples.

Me: I don't have dimples.

Harry: Yeah you do. Only in your real smile you do.

Me: Well then I will just have to work on that more.

***********************************************************

We were on the Swan Boat. Harry thought it would be funny if we showed some PDA but I just shook my head.

Harry: Well here's a question people will start asking us.

I just nodded my head. It was beautiful out here on this lake.

Harry: When's the due date. 

It got all quiet.

Me: What do you mean? We aren't actually.

Harry: I know I know but people will want to know when the baby is coming.

I looked down on my fake pregnant belly.

Me: I'd day it's seven months so.

Harry: The due date should be October. Or a summer baby. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we actually did have a kid.

Me: Nope.

Harry: Not you and I as Zoe and Kevin but you and I as Alexis and Harry. I'd think our baby girl would be beautiful. She'd have my hair, my smile, your beautiful blue eyes, my nose.

Me: What's wrong with my nose?

Harry: Nothing but she at least needs to look mainly like me.

I laughed.

Me: Female version?

Harry: Yes. She can't have your body type either.

Me: Why not? What's wrong with being short?

Harry: It's not that I just don't want the boys drooling over her because of her--.

Me: Rack. I get it. Thank goodness we aren't actually having a kid.

Harry: You really have never imagined what it would be like having a kid?

Me: No not really. I do enough nannying. My heart is set on just being a big sister right now.

Harry: Oh. Well tell me about yourself.

Me: What do you mean?

Harry: Like school, family, job, and friends like that.

Me: Well you know I am a nanny. Not an employed nanny currently. I share an apartment with my cousin. This year I'm going to school to get my nursing degree.

Harry: You want to be a nurse when you grow up?

Me: Not really but it's a good job and it provides for you.

Harry: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Me: I can't answer this.

Harry: No really please do.

Me: I want to be an author. I love writing.

Harry: Then why not be one. 

Me: It's not that simple. 

Harry: Well if this is your life make it what you want. Life is too short. Now tell me about your parents.

Me: Well my mom lives in a different city from where I live but she is always calling me. I know this sounds bad but I usually ignore her phone calls. It's not that I don't love her it's that she's always calling me.

Harry: And your dad?

I gulped. Thinking of my dad made me sad.

Me: Let's just say he remarried when I was in high school and started a family with his new wife kicking me out of the house.

Harry: I'm sorry to hear that. He missed out.

I nodded my head.

Me: And what about you?

Why would I ask that. I already knew of his family.

Harry: Well my real father like yours wasn't really part of my life for a lot of the years. I have an amazing sister name Gemma, a beautiful mum, and an awesome step dad name Robin. 

Me: Sweet!

Harry: Yeah.

****************************************************************************

Our swan boat ride had gotten over. We had decided to go back to the hotel room early. It was only three. After stopping by some sand which shop, We were back at our hotel. I told Harry I was going to take a nap.

Me: Please wake me up when the boys get back. 

Harry: Okay.

Me: Thanks.

I had left my room. Once I was under the covers I saw Harry come over to me.

Harry: By the way Lexi.

Me; Yea?

Harry: I had an amazing day with you.

WIth those words said, he left the room leaving me feeling so tired. So much has happened since that Masquerade that's all I could say. How was Shelby doing? I missed her so much. Did she miss me?
