Bound Together

Chapter 35

Harry's pov-

I feel like I've been going through paper work for hours, I need to get a move on, because Ruby's just sitting. In my office probably bored out of her mind. My hand reaches out for a scraggly piece of paper stuffed in the bottom of a file, I open up the creased paper, and I think I've found what I need. I put it in the pile of papers I will need for tomorrow's interview and write a sticky note to Banks explaining I've got everything I need and that I'm going. I walk over to my office and see Ruby sitting bouncing my elastic band ball, she looks up when she sees me at the door and smiles.

Ruby's pov-

Once the phone is in my bag I'm sure I hear Harry coming, I throw my bag into the floor and pick up Harry's elastic band ball and start bouncing it up and down, I look up at Harry, acting as normal as I can smiling up at him.

"Ready to go babe?" He asks having the nerve to call me babe when he's been sending suspicious texts to Ellie.

"Yeah course, did you manage it get everything done?" I asked sweetly, I should get some sort of award for these acting skills.

"Yep, all sorted I'll probably be at work most of tomorrow though."

"That's okay, I'm in the salon tomorrow anyway." Harry gives me a brief nod and opens the door gesturing for me to walk out, he follows shortly behind grabbing my entwining our fingers. Even just holding hands with Harry makes me want to forget all about these stupid texts, the feeling when I'm with him is indescribable I can't put it into words, life would be so much easier if he just told me the truth about everything, I'm not sure why he doesn't trust me but I'm sure as hell going to find out. We walk to the car hand it hand, jump in and drive home. It's only 2.30 so we still have an hour and a half until Alexa finishes nursery. We walk inside and I flop onto the sofa, turning on the telly.

Harry's pov-

Ruby doesn't talk much on the journey back, but I just presume she's tired, she sat straight on the sofa as soon as she came in and started to watch telly, so I decided to make her a hot chocolate as I know their her favourite things when she's tired. I grab the milk out if the fridge and heat it up in the microwave, while it's warming up I reach to get the galaxy hot chocolate and put 4 teaspoons into a mug, it says to add boiling water on the tub, but it's much nicer with hot milk than water. Soon the microwave beeps so I pour the milk on top of the powered chocolate stirring fast to avoid lumps , then I add some cold milk to get the hot chocolate to the right drinking temperature. I add heaps of squirty cream as Ruby loves it, and add some mini marshmallows on top. I grab a little spoon carrying the mug to Ruby.

"I made you a hot chocolate." I say walking in the room. She looks at the drink in my hand and grins.

"Thanks Harry!" She saying taking the mug and grabbing on of the marshmallows that almost fell down the cream.

"Can you do me a favour, and I get my diary out my bag, I just want to check what time my first appointment is tomorrow." She says in between drinks.

"Yeah, is your bag in the passage?" I ask, as she replies with a nod.

I walk out if the siting room and into the passage to spot Ruby's bag at the bottom of the stairs, I opening the zip and feel around for her diary, as I'm looking something vibrates inside the bag, I can't be Ruby's phone because she was just on it whilst watching the telly, I wait for a another vibration and grab the object. I'm surprised to pull out an old brick phone, I'm more surprised it's the same as my old phone, but in mostly surprised to see 20 missed calls from Ellie. This isn't just the same as mine, it is mine.
