It felt like ages since I've felt so alive. Just looking at the two most important men in my life filled me with a great amount of strength. As promised, Harrison set up a picnic for the three of us in this beautiful park. We were having loads of fun with Max and I couldn't be happier.
"Max, your Grand Mother is on the line , she wants to speak with you " Harrison handed the phone over to max who by the look on his face couldn't wait to talk to her either.
My attention was shifted from max who was giggling over something his Grandmother must have said " I can't wait for you to meet my parents, your going to love them"
" I don't doubt it " I kissed him on the lips to make my point.
"What about your parents?, Do they live in the city? " He must have seen the Crest fallen look on my face which made him to quickly sit up straight with concern all over his face.
" What's wrong baby? " At this point I didn't know what to say, How do you tell the man you love that you were abandoned as a child and that your parents never gave a fuck about you?.
Somehow, I found the courage to tell him about them. As he listened his features morphed from shock to disgust. I wouldn't blame him either. I was pretty disgusted with them myself.
" What kind of a person does that to an innocent child. " I couldn't answer that because I myself have wandered the same thing. He kissed me on the fore head and brought me In for a much needed hug.
" I'm fine really. I made peace with it a long time ago. To a certain extent,I understand them. I mean they both lost their jobs simultaneously and I guess they didn't know how to take of me anymore so instead of facing the problem, they chose to pretend I wasn't there." He gave me a smile and kissed me some more.
" That is why I love you. You have a kind and beautiful heart.. Where are they now? ". He asked out of curiosity.
" They are dead. There was a.." My voice cracked a little. "..a fire incident at a club they were in. A lot of people died and among them were my parents. I was called in weeks later to identify their bodies. Talking about it again made me finally break down as I remembered the concurrent nightmares I had to endure after that day.
We didn't say much after that. We just held each other knowing no words would be appropriate. Just being in his arms gave me a sense of peace and I relished in it.
Max finally came back after playing with a white bunny he found on the field and sadly it was time to pack up and go.

It's been weeks since our little outing with max and things between Harry and I couldn't have been more perfect. It just felt magical and I couldn't help myself from falling in love with him even more. Harry invited me for his friends restaurant opening. I did a last minute shopping and got something appropriate for the event.
We got to the restaurant and there was a lot of paparazzi there flashing cameras at us and asking a thousand and one questions all at once. As we stepped out of the car, Harry shielded me from the media until we were safely inside the restaurant.
" is it always like this?" I asked a bit fazed by everything.
"Yes babe. I know it can get intense sometimes but don't worry, they are not allowed in here" I nodded with a bit of relief.
His best friend, Jerry walked up to us with a big smile on his face. "Bro, you made it." They gave each other a bro kinda hug and then he kissed me on the cheeks.
"Bridget, you look stunning " He said as he placed a kiss on my hand.
" Back off man" Harry took my hand in his while giving his friend a playful stare.
"Jealous much" jerry was teasing him and I knew if I didn't stop them now, they might never stop.
" Stop acting like babies" I said.
"He started it". They both said in unison. I gave them a stare and they promised to behave themselves. When both of them got themselves under control, I congratulated jerry on the successfully closed contract worth over twenty billion and now, his restaurant's opening. Soon after he went out to welcome his other guests. The party was in full swing and everybody was having a great time, which brings me back to the present problem at hand.
A lady bumped into me spilling her drink all over me in the process. She was beautiful if am been honest, having a body of a goddess, I understood why most of the men at the party couldn't help themselves.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there"
She tried to help clean me up but only worsened it."Its fine. I'll take care of this myself. Excuse me" She claimed it was an accident but I wasn't blind. She has been starring at Harry all through her so called apology and by the look on her face, she wanted him for herself. Harry offered to accompany me to the bathroom but I refused with the excuse that I wouldn't be long. I was still cleaning up In the bathroom when she walked in.
"I doubt it's gonna come off but I wouldn't worry if I were you. It's a very cheap dress and you can easily replace it." I was amazed at how such vile words could come out from a beautiful woman.
At this point my eyes were as wide as saucers. "Excuse me? "
" You heard me. Now listen, I don't know what it is Harris sees in you. Probably your a good fuck but you should know that his not in your league so do well to stay the hell away from him. Got it? "
She said while pointing her well manicured finger at me." Wow.. Did you seriously just say that? Well I'm glad you think so. I guess that's probably why he has never looked in your direction but just so you know, you can never have him, you know why, you reek of desperation. " I said to her with a sickening smile." Enjoy the rest of your evening. " I patted her on her shoulder where so stood frozen with her mouth hanging open before finally leaving the bathroom.
" Babe what took you so long, I was about coming to get you? " Harry asked with a worried expression on his face. I smiled and reassured him with a kiss.
The rest of the evening went by smoothly. Miss perfect walked out of the bathroom minutes later without taking a look in my direction and I just couldn't help myself but smile... A toast was made in honour of Jerry. The opening was a success and we had lots of fun. Soon after we retired to Harris' condo because he wanted us to spend the night together.
