"So how was your weekend?" Geri, one of the work associates asked sitting across from me at the lunch table. I smiled sipping my drink quickly looking at her. "Pretty dead, stayed in. What about you?" I asked and she smiled looking down.

"Great, had a mini vacay with my sweetheart. Went to a hotel, went to the spa and had dinner on the beach" she smiled and I couldn't help but smile. "Really? I'm jealous" I giggled and she joined in.

"To be honest when he brought me there, I thought I forgot something. I panicked for a few seconds" I busted out laughing imagining her face. Geri was one that couldn't hide anything, her expressions gave her away easily.

"So just because?" She nodded smiling hard. "Marry him" I simply stated and she nodded running her fingers through her bright red curls. "To be honest...even though it's been only a year, I would say yes. I've had a few boyfriends but, this is one guy I see myself being with. He makes me the happiest woman alive" she squealed jumping in her seat.

Never met the guy but, I liked him already. When you see someone this happy, you can't help but have hope that love is still real. She was a few years older than me and we were a bit different minded on relationships. She believed in soulmates and two people becoming one, where I wasn't so sure on it. I believed in love just not sure it could be with only one person.

"As he should" I smiled picking up a dorito eating it. Suddenly my phone rung making me jump. I gave her a apologetic smile as I pulled it out of my pocket seeing his name and picture on my screen.

"Is that bae?" She asked and I faked a smile feeling a bit nervous answering. Haven't spoke to both of them in a few days since the whole argument with Demi. I didn't feel like I should have to, I didn't feel like I was in the wrong. She started screaming at me like I did her wrong and the whole time I was confused.

I was more surprised to be getting a call from Harry though. That whole argument was two weeks ago and he seemed to hate me so, why bother? Once again, I didn't feel like I was in the wrong. I wasn't sleeping with anyone else and I wasn't ashamed of sleeping with them either.

"Hello" "I'm outside" he simply said then hung up leaving me there looking at the phone shocked. Why was he here? I hope it wasn't to argue because I didn't have the energy for it. What was the point anyway? We are both stubborn so no one was going to give in.

For a second I wasn't sure I wanted to go out but, I decided to let him know for the last time, I wasn't giving because I did nothing wrong.

"I'll be back in a few" I whispered getting up throwing my trash out and heading to the front and outside. I saw his jeep a few feet away from the building and before I walked over, I took a deep breath preparing myself.

He didn't even look at me as I stood next to his door with the window down. I couldn't help but look at the side of his face with his jaw clenched. Angry still but, came to my job. We stayed silent for a few moment before he took a deep breath still looking ahead.

"So you're not going to get in?" He asked and I shrugged. "Not sure you wanted that. Thought you just wanted to say something quickly" Or drop off all the shit I left at their house...

I shook my head focusing "If it's about Mike, then i'm going back inside. I haven't slept with him, don't plan on it. If you don't take that then forget it-" "Get in Sky, we need to talk" he simply stated cutting me off as if this was nothing. Him ordering me around was not going to work anymore, I would stand my ground.

"I can talk from here, only have a few more minutes of lunch so.. it wouldn't make any sense" I simply stated feeling anger rise every second he stared at anything but me. He was acting the same way he was acting before so, this obviously wasn't about us two.
