Second Chances (2nd book of Contest Winner)

Chapter Twenty-Six

We were sitting in the restaurant and Harry walked in after us. He sat down silently beside me. We ordered and ate our food in silent. The only time we talked was to our children not to each other.

Not until we were leaving the restaurant did he grabbed my wrist. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked.

"What do you think?" I asked rather rudely.

"Look Char I'm just saying that I don't like for other guys to even look at you." He said.

"Really? How do you think I feel?" I asked stopping in my tracks to face him.

"What do you mean?" He asked totally oblivious to what I was talking about.

"Harry how can you not know what I'm talking about? you are flipping Harry Edward Styles for goodness sake. Every girl on the planet would die to just get to spend two seconds with you. How am I suppose to compete with that?" I asked.

"You don't have to compete with anyone though Charlie. That's my point. I don't see any of those girls because the only one I see is you. I'm not that lucky though. I am just waiting for the day you realize their is someone better for you out there in this world and you leave me again." He said. He grabbed both of my hands then.

"Harry I'm not going anywhere. I love you baby. That's what I am trying to get through your thick skull. You are stuck with me rather you like it or not." I smiled.

"So you are not mad at me anymore?" He asked.

"I am always mad at you." I giggled. He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. It was a small kiss but it lingered for a few extra seconds then needed.

"Love you." He whispered.

"Love you." I whispered back.

We were walking down the sidewalk with the twins right in front of us when we past a CVS. thats when I remembered I needed to buy a pregnancy test.

"Hey hon umm can we go in here for a second please? I need to get something." I said.

"Sure. Kids turn left now!" Harry yelled in front of us. The twins followed his directions and made their way into the drug store.

"You go with them. I will just be a minute." I said softly.

"Okay." He replied before kissing me on the cheek and following the kids to some toys.

I walked to the back of the store looking for a pregnancy test. I finally found one and went up to the front counter to buy it. "Afternoon dear." The woman behind the counter said.

"Afternoon." I smiled.

"Is this for you deary?"

"Yes ma'am." I answered.

"Do you want a bag?" She asked.

"Yes please." I said in a rush then I looked around making sure Harry was no where around.

"Are you in a hurry hon?" She asked.

"What?" I asked turned back to face her. "Oh umm no ma'am." I answered.

"It's just that you keep looking around as if to make sure no one sees you." She said.

"Can you just put that in a bag please?" I asked as politely as possible.

"Sure." She answered. She handed me the bag and a gave her a twenty.

"Keep the change." I said as I stuffed the bag deep in my purse. Then I went to go find Harry. They were all looking at some stuffed animal.
