Falling For You

Dinner For Two

Chapter 27.

*Julia's POV*

For the rest of the dinner, the three of us sat in an awkward silence.

I wanted to tell Harry, but I knew I couldn't. I obviously couldn't tell Brody because well, he was Brody.

I looked across the table at him. His light brown hair fell across his face as he twirled his spaghetti around his fork.

I had to admit, he was attractive. Even though he wasn't the nicest, he made up for it by being the strongest. He had the perfect body. In high school, he had been the quarter back on the football team. We never lost a game.

Every so often, I could feel the tension between him and Harry. Harry was finishing his salad and occasionally sneaking concerned glances at me and hateful ones at Brody.

Most of the conversation had been them bickering.

I looked down at my empty plate and suddenly wished I had ordered more.

My eyes traveled to my abdomen and I was mentally reminded that now I was eating for two.

"Julia?" Harry's voice brought me out of my thinking, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah.." I sniffled.

Why the heck was I sniffling. I wasn't even sick.

"Then why are you crying? Tell us what's wrong," Brody cut in.

I reached my hand up to my cheek and felt the increasing moisture. I hadn't even realized I was crying. I guess I was just nervous and hormonal. And hungry. Can't forget that.

The waiter placed a new basket of bread on the table since I must have absentmindedly finished off the old one.

I grabbed a slice and spread some butter on it. I tried to ignore the stares I was getting from the other two people at my table.

"What are you not telling us?" Harry asked through narrow eyes.

"Um..." I couldn't take much of this pressure. "I'm pre-"

"Excuse me, but would you like two separate checks?" Saved by the waiter.

"Uh no thanks. I'll pay," I spoke up.

"Shut up. You will not. I have more than enough money. I'll pay," Harry argued.

I didn't want to argue. My head was hurting already. I massaged my temples.

"Fine," I agreed.

Harry looked surprised.

The waiter smiled and handed Harry the check.

I could feel Brody's eyes on me as Harry filled out the receipt.

I was immensely relieved when we left the restaurant.

Well that was until Niall's car rolled up next to me.

I saw his blonde hair coming around the front of his car before I could even register what was happening.

"Julia! I was so worried!" he wrapped me in his arms and my tensed muscles relaxed.

"Niall. I was just eating dinner," I rolled my eyes as I felt Harry and Brody's eyes burning through my back.

Niall seemed to realize that they were there. "Who are you?" he asked confused.

I turned and introduced Niall and Brody.

"Ah so you're the boyfriend," Brody stated.

Niall looked confused but nodded anyway. Harry just glared at everyone.

I tugged lightly at Niall's arm. "C'mon Ni. Let's go. I have to tell you something."

"Well it was nice meeting you, Brandon," Niall waved and Harry glowered.

"It's Brody," Brody called.

As I buckled my seatbelt, Niall asked, "So what were you going to tell me?"

I was going to tell him and he was gonna be fine with it.

He wasn't going to leave.

He wasn't going to freak out.

"Niall I-" I couldn't do it. I couldn't. "I have to go to the bathroom. I think I ate some bad food."

He gave me a weird look but didn't question anything.

What I had said wasn't a lie. I did feel like I was gonna puke any minute now.

As soon as we got home, I ran to the bathroom and puked my guts out. Great. So it's going to be this kind of pregnancy.

Niall quickly rushed into the bathroom. "Are you okay babe?"

"Yeah. Just some uncooked steak I think," I nodded and set to work putting toothpaste on my toothbrush.

I brushed my teeth and without another word, went into the living room.

The door opened and nome other than Harry plopped down next to me.

"Harry! What are you doing here?" I demanded in a frantic whisper.

"Confessing," he replied simply.

"Confessing what?" I asked.

"My undying love for you," he stated and with that, he covered my mouth with his own
