The One That Got Away

Chapter 8

Selena POV

"AAAHHHH!!!!"

"Come here, you!" I laughed, grabbing my energetic three year old, he let's out an excited shriek as he giggles hysterically while I tickle his sides.

"AHA! Mommy!" Harley giggles, I hold him bridal style as I start to twirl him around while making plane sounds.

"Here comes, pilot Harley!"

"AHAAHAAA!" he shrieks of laughter while I running around the house with Harley in my arms. After not being with your son for so long, a chance to have a moment like this, is like one in a million. It's priceless. You don't know how long I waited to be with Harley again, it was depressing not seeing him at all due to my career. And I'm guessing, he feels the same way.

"WOAH! Woah, careful you two" Harry stops us after almost bumping into him, as he holds his hands up in front of us while chuckling at our silly antics.

"Sorry, we got carried away" I chuckled, putting down Harley before looking up at Harry.

"I can see that, I guess that bedtime story wasn't enough last night, huh?" he smiles down at Harley as he giggles and shakes his head in response. He then grabs my hand, trying to pull me away as I look down at my three year old struggling.

"Mommy, play!"

"Go to your room and we'll play whatever you want. I'll be up in a few, okay?"

"Ya"

"Okay, go" Harley giggles, running up the stairs excitedly since I was going to play with him some more.

I looked at Harry as he looked at me, we just stared at each other, right into each other's eyes before he's the first one to speak up.

"I guess Harley's finally excited to have his mommy home"

"Yeah, so am I. I really needed this break to be with him"

"And he really needed you"

"I know" I nodded, looking at him. He sighed, looking at the ground before looking up at me with his bright green eyes.

"Listen, Sel-"

"I think I know what your trying to do, but I heard it before"

"I know, I'm being serious this time. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for treating you the way you shouldn't have been treated. I just want you to forgive me"

I sighed, looking at the ground at my feet as I thought about it. After the way he treated me? I just don't know.

"I don't know Harry, it really hurt me when you treated me so unfairly. I mean, it was like if you were pushing me away so you could be with someone else or something"

"NO! I'M NOT!" Harry tenses, raising both his hands up towards me, with widen green eyes staring directly at me m. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, confusing appearing in my mind. Harry realizes his reaction to response, quickly clearing his throat and standing in a straight position.

"I mean....w-why would I ever do that?" he asked, shrugging while keeping his eyes off me. I looked at him closely as he looks back before speaking.

"Is there something your not telling me, Harry?"

He looks at me, and gives me this look I've never seen him give me before. Guilt.

"Sel...I-"

"MOMMY! PLAY!" Harley walks in, hopping impatiently in front of us, holding Horace in his little arm.

"I'll be right up baby, I promise"

"Ok!" Harley hops up the stairs, once again leaving me and Harry alone. I sighed as I looked at Harry, shaking my head at the ground before looking back up at him.
