Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 52

Alex's POV

Relax and kinda overwhelmed by Harry's arrival, we head inside the house, hand in hand, Jack following right behind us.

Jack was a dear friend and Harry meeting Jack is the closes thing I have to Harry meeting my family.

Once we get inside, we see Oliver on the couch, drinking a beer and he jumps up when he sees us.

"Dad." He says, surprised and the sweet person Jack is, laughs and takes a seat beside him. Harry and I sit down in front of them.

I can tell Harry is nervous. He is a gentleman, one by the book so I know he wants to make a good impression, now we are back together kinda, it means a lot more.

"So Harry Styles?" Jack asks as Ollie shifts uncomfortably and downs his beer in one gulp. Harry holds my hand for dear life as he smiles and nods.

"Kinda hard having your life on the media all the time?" Jack asks as he slowly takes the beer bottle from Ollie's hand. We didn't have breakfast for gods sake!

"Yes sir." Harry says, stern as a tree.

"Call me Jack please." He says with a big smile, trying to ease Harry into it. Harry is normally very charming, I don't know what got into him.

"How would I know this won't be a problem? I wouldn't want my Allie to get hurt because of it." He says as Oliver literally groans so loud.

He stares at me with big eyes and I shake my head for him to stop it. Its too entertaining to watch Harry break a sweat over making a good impression on Jack.

"It is a problem because I don't want her to get hurt either. I do my best trying to hide it but after some point, privacy gets exposed. Beyond that point, I believe in our love." Harry says and Jack smile approvingly when Oliver starts making gagging noises.

"Jesus Christ!" Jack calls out with frustration at a pretending to be dead Ollie.

"You act like you are her dad! You aren't!" Oliver says and Jack goes pale. I know he loved my mother and father, I know how close they were.

"Oliver stop it!" I say, trying to calm Jack down, he looks like the life has been sucked out of him.

"What? Its the truth? Your parents die and he never contacts you for years and then we ran into each other by pure luck and he is all over your boyfriend? Bullshit." Oliver says, eyes crisp and tongue sharp. Jack's face falls down.

"Thats not fair to say! He is just looking out for me Ollie!" I protest as Harry sinks into his seat. He is so out of contexts, I can see the need to vaporize in his eyes.

"He is right Alex. I have been terrible at looking after you. I should have-" Jack says with a low voice.

"Thats not true! Here I am and you are here!" I say as I try to clean up the mess Ollie made.

"After my parents died, we both sucked at communicating but so what? We managed to pull through and years later, healed and patched up, we are together again. I call that a win!" I say throwing a death glare at Oliver when Jack smiles again.

There is a pause and Ollie fills it in.

"He shouldn't act like your father." He protests.

"Its not your place to decide that." I bark back. I don't get why he is been so hostile about this.

"He is right. I will never fill your fathers place." Jack's face turns into a frown.

"You don't have to Jack. You are more than that." I smile at him when Ollie rolls his eyes.
