I saw Louis staring at me with a bewildered look on his face.
“Yours?” he repeated confused, “When were you going to tell me I was gonna be an uncle?”
“You’re going to be an uncle to my child?”
“Well yeah” Niall sat on Louis’ lap, “Why wouldn’t I be? You want me to be right?”
He laughed, which made me laugh.
“Oh yeah, sure” I smiled
“Great! So we’re going to have a baby boy, huh?”
I nodded.
“Let me see the baby picture again”
I showed it to him and he smiled.
“How precious. I’m going to teach him football and how to cook”
I laughed. Niall was taking it well until he mentioned Harry.
“Does Haz know the good news?”
“No” Louis and I said quickly
He looked at us very suspiciously
“I don’t want him to know. It’s my business”
“But you’re his best mate”
“Niall please, for me. Don’t say anything.”
“Sure, of course Oce.”
I sighed a quick breath of relief but it didn’t last long.
“Lou! Nialler! What’s going on? Who ya talking to?”
It was Harry.
“Oceane! How are you?”
“Hey Harry, I’m fine. I’m really busy” I started talking quickly, “Lou I’ll talk to you later. I have to go”
Before Harry or any of them could say goodbye I closed my laptop. I closed my eyes, held onto my swollen belly and tried not to cry.
Harry’s POV
I stood there confused on how she was acting.
“What the hell was that about?”
“Don’t know” Lou answered
“Yup, don’t know” Niall got up and walked out of the room
Louis stood up and I grabbed his shoulder
“Lou?”
He looked at me
“If something was going on with Oce would you tell me? Is she okay? I mean I know that she’s distant from me…and I’m not sure why” I trailed off
“You’re not sure why?” Louis suddenly snapped at me
“No I’m not”
“Mate you’re dense. You really are”
“How? What did I do?”
“What did you do?” he mumbled quietly, “You married Melanie…”
“What?”
“I mean don’t get me wrong, Melanie’s fit. And she’s sweet but still! You married her. Knowing damn well how Oceane felt about you”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Bullshit!”
“Where is this coming from?”
“No where. I don’t want to talk about this anymore”
“Lou?”
I was more confused than ever.
“I will say this, you’re not the only one who knows that you fucked your best friend. You treated her like just some other girl. You knew she loved you and you used that”
“Louis! I fucking love her! I love her! I’ve always loved her”
It was silent in the room. We stared at each other before Louis cursed underneath his breath and left the room. I sat on the bed and stared at the laptop on the table in front of me.
I was married. I was more than happy with Melanie, right? Why was everyone making me feel like somehow I fucked up and married the wrong girl?
I mean I didn’t, did I?
