With you I feel loved

Chapter 28

Jen's POV

I walk down the stairs to the 9th floor where the elevator is. Harry is still on the 5th floor I guess. So I press the button of the 5th. I notice my hands are shaking a little.

The elevator doors open and I walk into the giant game room. Looking for Harry I find him bend over a drink at the bar. I walk upto him and lay my hand upon his shoulder.

He grabs my arm, twists it around and the next moment i find my head against the bar and Harry pushing my arm down so I cant move.
"Whoa Harry!!!"

"Oh my god, Jen!! You scared the hell out of me! I'm so sorry..." Harry's eyes look worried and ashamed.

"No.. It's okay... I shouldn't have walked up to you like that.. It's my mistake."
"No.. It's mine. I should have known it was you coming down here. Would you like to drink something?"

"Uhh what do you have?"
"You name it."
"Limoncello??"
"Sure I do." He gets me a glass and fills it with my favorite liquor.

"Thanks."
"You're welcome." His smile... Still not used to it. It's amazing.

"I ehh.. I came to give you your birthday present."
"Ohh Jen. Thanks."

"You don't even know what it is yet!" I laugh.
Suddenly this reminds me of when Beau gave me the signed ring for our 3-year anniversary. I said thanks before I opened it and Beau said the exact same thing I just said to Harry.

"I know, but it's yours so I will cherish it forever."
I blush. Quickly trying to hide it by taking a sip of my limoncello.

He wants to read the letter. I stop him. "Please, read it when I'm not beside you. Just open the package now."

"Ohh.. Okay. As you wish." He opens the package. "Wow.. I love it. Thankyou Jennifer! This is my first birthday present ever."

"Really?"
"My parents always forgot my birthday. They were always everywhere and nowhere on the world for business."
"And when they remembered, they still didn't buy anything for you?"

"No. They tried to make it up to me by taking me somewhere. The zoo, the aquarium, Disney World..."
"That's nice too, right?"
"Yeah.. But even with those 'family-days' they were all busy with their phones, calling important business partners."

"Ahh that sucks.. Im sorry for you."
"Thanks, I appreciate it. So now you know why I can afford all of this. It's all their money. Money that should have been memories. Memories with my family. But they put money in the first place and family time and making memories in the second."

"Well.. Its good that you realise that's not the way to have a family. At least you'll do it better."
"You think I'd be a good father?"
"I think you'd be a perfect father." I smile.

"And a perfect husband?" Harry's eyes look up to my eyes. Our eyes cross and we look into each others eyes for a few beautiful seconds.
"I think you should read the letter now." I say. I walk away towards the elevator.
"I'll be in my room if you need me."

He wants to be my husband.. Or at least he wants me to be his girlfriend. I figured that already.. But really hearing him say that made me feel something. I can't really describe it. Special, I guess.

Yeah. Harry makes me feel special.
