elanora
her eyes widened as everyone's attention turned towards them. niall leaned down and picked up his fork, setting it back down on the table. people were starting to look away now. all except one harry styles.

elanora couldn't take her eyes off of him. she was trying to figure out what was going through his mind. his face was straight and stern; eyebrows creasing in concentration. he remained silent, staring at niall, but never meeting elanora's eyes.

niall on the other hand couldn't care less about the powerful man staring at him. in fact, niall gave him a wide smile and a wave, which was not returned. this made the blonde man chuckle. "someone is jealous," niall thought to himself.

harry finally broke his stare when his wife came back to the table, completely unaware of the event that occurred.

niall mouthed a few words to elanora who eagerly nodded her head. they both quietly got up and left. elanora was proud of herself as she didn't even look back to see if harry's eyes followed her.

later that day, elanora sat down in front of her laptop making final adjustments to her powerpoint presentation. her phone vibrated beside her and without thinking, she answered it quickly.

"what the hell were you doing with him?" an angry voice called out through the phone. elanora was taken back with the harshness of the voice.

who the hell did harry styles think he was? he has a pregnant wife for gods sake! they aren't together anymore! how dare he call?!

"the same thing you were doing with your wife! having a meal!" she snapped back quickly, hanging up the phone.

harry
he knew he had no right to call her. he had a wife and a baby on the way.. he should be fully committed to erin. but harry just couldn't get elanora out of his mind.

"you had no business calling her, mate. as much as it sucks, it seems like she's clearly moved on." zayn plopped down on the couch beside harry.

"i miss her.. i know i should be focused on starting a family with erin, but zayn.. it's her.. it's always been her. and i can't just up and leave my family for her.. i don't want to leave erin. i don't want our child to go through what i went through," harry sighed, putting his head in his hands.

zayn didn't know what to say at that point. harry was a stand up guy and would sacrifice his own happiness for what's right.. and that's something zayn admires about him. he rest his hand on harry's back and patted him a few times.

"you need to be heading home, mate. your phone has been vibrating non stop for the last fifteen minutes," zayn laughed said getting off the couch.

"mhmmm and a certain blonde is coming over?" harry chuckled and rolled his eyes, he couldn't believe his best friend was kicking him out for perrie. actually, he could believe it.. that guys was whipped.

"that too! but seriously.. get that paternity test before you make rash decisions, okay?" zayn whispered as if it were a secret.

zayn never liked nor trusted erin. and the fact that she magically became pregnant right after harry confronted her about leaving was really sketchy.

"hey sugarbear! i was wondering when you were gonna come home! i made my famous chicken alfredo pasta along with some baked potato wedges and garlic bread!" erin chirped, opening the door for harry.

he smiled and gave her a quick peck on the lips before taking his jacket off and hanging it up on the coat rack. "what's the occasion, babe?".

"no occasion ducky! i just know how hard you work to give me all these nice things and i wanna find little ways to say thank you," she smiled and led him to the dining table.

harry's eyes widened at the whole spread prepared. it looked like a scene from the movies. everything was perfectly placed and the scented candles were burning bright. the sweet smell of warm vanilla sugar filled the room.

"babe, you did all of this? you shouldn't strain yourself so much.. the baby," harry furrowed his eyebrows in worry.

"oh harry, don't you worry so much.. i had a little help with the hard stuff," she said gesturing him to sit down.

harry sat down while erin disappeared for the white wine. he took in everything she had just done for him. it was so selfless and sweet. it reminded him of the girl he fell in love with.

"oh were you waiting on me babe? you must be starved! dig in," erin sat down at the table, putting the white napkin on her lap.

"this is so nice, erin. thank you.. it looks amazing," harry smiled, taking a big bite out of his food.

and for the rest of they night, they laughed and talked like they were young and in love again. maybe this was all working out after all. maybe erin was really changing.

all the worries of elanora was forgotten that night and all harry was focused on was his wife and their future child.
