"Of course I would." The words fall out of my mouth before my mind even mauls it over. Wait! Is that a good idea? I mean with our history and all...but we're both married now. We've been just friends before.
"Great! You know, it's one thing looking at pictures...it's a whole other thing to see someone in person." He responds.
"Harry Styles! Have you been creeping on my account again?!" I tease.
"Always." His laugh floods the phone line and it makes me smile.
Our conversation veers off towards him telling stories of students in his class and me calling it karma. Then, we share recent stories about our kids and spouses.
"You know, you and Katherine would probably be quite good friends had our history stayed in the friend zone." He states.
"Harry, it was stuck in the 'friend zone'...a 'friends with benefits zone' but a 'friend zone' nonetheless." I pause for a second trying to suppress all the memories that are trying to push their way to the forefront. "I wouldn't change a thing though." I add.
There is a pause as if those memories now want his attention. Then, he responds, "You know what? Neither would I."
"Nothing?" I ask. I'm curious to see what he'll say.
"Nothing." He chuckles. "I should go. The kids will be coming back in a few minutes. I'll harass you later."
"Promise?" I tease. I can't help it.
"Promise. I'll talk to you soon. Have a good rest of your day."
"Bye! Smooches!"
I hear him laugh as I hang up the phone. I find myself staring at my phone with a stupid grin on my face.

Harry's POV
I battle a slight guilt that tries to rise to the surface. I continue to push it down. I keep my rekindled friendship with Sam a secret from my wife. Katherine would completely flip her shit if she knew. I would never leave her. She is my match...my other half...my better half.
There is an unexplainable magnetic pull to Sam that I can't explain. I have never forgotten her. Now, that she has come back into my life, I don't want to let her go. She is the only thing that is just mine...my little secret.
I look forward to my drives home from work because that's when a consistently talk to Sam. The weekends drag on for ages. We text a little bit but I don't want Katherine catching me smiling like an idiot at my phone and having to explain myself.
I am counting down the days until our family vacation. It's just a week away. I really hope I get to see Sam...even if it's just for a five minute cup of coffee. I just have to see her again. This need scares me. I shouldn't feel this way. I can't help it. It's Sam.
* * * *
I pack the car with the last suitcase. Katherine hustled the girls out and I get them situated in their carseats.
"Ready to go, Daddy!" Darcy shouts. That little girl has never had volume control. I laugh and place my finger on my lips to attempt to quiet her down.
Katherine comes out last and places herself in the driver's seat. She's taking the first leg of this road trip. I was up far too late last night finishing up everything for work so we could leave today instead of tomorrow.
I place a DVD in for the girls to watch as we pull out of the driveway. My eyelids get heavy as we merge onto the highway. Functioning on three hours of sleep used to be a lot easier. Getting old seriously sucks.
* * * *
I follow Sam into the hotel room. She grabs my hand and leads me towards the bed. My heart is beating out of my chest. I know this is wrong on so many levels...but I just can't help myself. I want her. I need to feel this with her again.
Before I convince myself that the right thing to do is turn around and walk out the door, I place my hands on either side of her face. Her eyes burn into me and draw me in as I press my lips against hers. It is at that moment the spark ignites.
My tongue forcefully finds its way into her mouth as I feel her move her hand to the back of my head, fingers through my hair, and grabs a fist full of hair with a tug. This is all I need. There is no turning back now.
We continue to kiss aggressively breaking free for mere seconds to remove clothing and once there is absolutely no fabric between us, we close the gap, feeling our bare flesh pressed against one another.
I move my hands to her ass and grab a handful forcing her crotch to push into me. I move one hand to her breast, kneading and twisting her nipple slightly...just enough for her to moan into my mouth. God! I have missed that sound!
We walk slowly towards the bed as I gently lie her down and begin kissing her neck. All the familiar scents flood my nostrils and the softness her skin against my lips tickles a slew of memories.
I make my way down her cleavage and her abdomen where I stop to take in the view that has haunted me for years. She places her hand on my head pushing me down, silently instructing me what to do. I start kissing her inner thigh moving my way slowly up. I begin to feel that warmth from between her legs hit my lips. I spread her apart a little further and run my tongue across her sensitive spot. That taste only she has dances on my tongue. I notice her back arches as I hit her spot and...there is that left side to her bottom lip being bitten. That was, and still is, the one things she does I can't say no to.
I bury myself back between her legs, tasting every ounce of her, and hearing her moan my name....
"Harry."
"Harry!" I jolt awake. It's Katherine trying to get my attention. I rub my eyes trying to focus on where in the hell we are. It looks like she stopped for gas. I was asleep that long?!
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty!" She says mocking me. The girls giggle in the backseat.
"Mommy, Sleeping Beauty needs a kiss to wake up!" Sydney informs her.
"Yes, he does." I say to Katherine with a smirk. She smiles and gives me a kiss.
"I was going to get some coffee and take the girls to the bathroom. Did you want something?"
"Tea, please." I request as I get out of the car to stretch and begin to fill the car up. My mind begins to play back the dream I was having. My subconscious is a wicked bitch because these dreams have been more and more frequent. It is really messing with my head.
I pull out my phone and text Sam.
"On our way. I can't wait to see you...if all the planets align."
She responds almost immediately, "I'm really excited. :) I hope so. It'll be good to see you. Be safe."
Hey! That's my line! Two can play at this, "Will do! Smooches!"
She responds again in records time, "Touché. Hahahaha"
I smile and place my phone back into my pocket.
The family piles back into the car with me in the driver's seat and we continue on our way to Phoenix.
Within a half hour, all my girls are asleep. My mind begins to form together a plan on how I'm going to get a block of time to see Sam. This Sam re-entering my life has consumed me WAY too much. This can't be healthy.
