Ellie
A year and four months.
I had been in love with the man of my dreams for a year and two months, not counting our breakup.
"I love you," he passed me an envelope over the table and I eyed him suspiciously.
"I love you too," I took it from him and started to open it, trying to hide the fact that I was nervous.
"Harry," I breathed, looking at the paper and back up at him.
"If you don't want to go I can get a refu-" a tear ran down my face, making him smile. "Awe," he wiped my tears and I leaned over and kissed him.
"Of course I want to go," my hands were shaking and I put the paper down as the waiter put the bill down.
I grabbed it before Harry and he shook his head. "No way," he reached his hand out and I kissed it.
"Harry, you just got me a trip to my dream vacation. I'm paying." He rolled his eyes and sat back.
"Whatever," I smiled at him and took a sip of my fish bowl.
I paid when the waiter came back around and stood up beside Harry, his arm sneaking around my waist.
"I can't believe you're taking me to Bora Bora." I told him and he smiled down at me.
"I'm still mad you paid for dinner but you deserve it baby," I kissed him before telling him that I needed to drive.
"It's my car, why are you driving?" He groaned, his hand slipping under my tight black dress.
"Oh stop," I reversed out of the parking spot and Harry mumbled something under his breath.
"Where are we going?" Harry asked for the tenth time and I rolled my eyes, ignoring him.
Clearly this made him upset because he pulled my dress up slightly and slipped his fingers in my underwear.
I moved my hips, biting my lip and looking at him quickly.
"Stop, Harry." I warned him but he just shrugged, moving his fingers around.
I pulled the car into the hotel I booked for us, quickly moving Harry's hand and walking to the back, grabbing our bags while Harry got out of the car.
"You booked us a hotel," he raised his eyebrows, smirking.
"Yeah, now shut the fuck up and hurry up because you are an evil man." He took his bag from me before slapping my ass and laughing.

"Hi bear!" I crouched down and rubbed his head while he jumped up my legs. "No jumping," I scolded him and he stopped, only to start running around my feet and biting them.
"Ellie," my dad came around the corner and I hugged him. "I heard about your trip." He smiled and I nodded, bouncing up and down.
"Dad, that's been my dream since forever ago," I told him, starting to walk towards the stairs.
"I know, when do you go again?"
"Tuesday," it was Saturday now so I'd start packing either tomorrow or Monday. "But are you sure you can watch Bear? I know he's getting big," I looked up the stairs at the four month old puppy that was running laps up and down the hall.
"Nah, Bear and I are besties," my dad winked and I thanked him, telling him I would get more food before I left.
Harry had just dropped me off at home because he had to go into the studio today for something and I needed to get Bear groomed.
"Here boy," I threw his ice cream toy down the hall and he lunged at it, bringing it back. "Good boy, sit," I had been talking him to obedience school and he's a pro.
"Paw," he threw his giant paws up at me and I laughed, "go!" I threw it again and walked into my room, waiting for him to come in before I shut the door.
I watched as he laid on his bed, chewing at the toy.
After unpacking from the hotel I went for a run with Bear since it wasn't too hot and showered, knowing the run would tire him out.
"Ellie!" My dad called from his room and I made my way over, poking my head in the door. "I need you to work tomorrow and Monday, obviously."
"Yeah, okay. I'm taking Bear to the groomers." I told him but he stopped me.
"I'm going to Sara's so I'll take him on the way, you can pick him up." As if on cue the puppy ran into his room and straight onto his bed, knocking my dad over.
"Woah, hi boy," he kissed his head and I smiled.
"Okay, sounds good." I walked back to my room, changing out of sweatpants and into lulu lemon shorts and a thin sweater.
After watching Netflix and picking bear up, I got a call from Selena.
"Hey girl," I shut my laptop, instagram illuminating the screen.
"Hey," she paused quickly before continuing, "girls night?" She sounded mildly upset so I agreed, telling her to come over.
I made my way downstairs, grabbing two frozen palm bays and putting them into glasses with a spoon.
21 jump street lit up on my tv and I thought that was a suitable movie, clicking it. Selena was dating a guy named Derek, who modelled Calvin Klein with her and I though the maybe weren't together anymore but I couldn't see them breaking up.
I put the remote down just as Selena knocked, carrying myself over to the door and holding an excited Bear back.
"Hey girl," I wrapped my arms around her and she did the same.
"Hey," she pulled away, biting her lip. I raked my eyebrows at her and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Come sit," she walked into my living room, patting the spot beside her. I held out her Palm Bay but she shook her head. "I'm okay," my heart was racing because I wasn't sure what to expect from her.
"Sel," I started and a tear ran down her face. "What's going on?" I wiped it for her, turning so I was facing her more.
"Ellie, I," she wiped her eyes, tugging her hair behind her ear.
"I'm pregnant, El."
Kind of a short chapter because I didn't love the beginning xoxo
