The Only Exception (H. Styles/ Bwwm)

Chapter Thirty-One

I don't know how long I sat in this car outside my house trying to figure out what to do. About this whole situation with Amber. Do I tell him? Is it better off if I don't? Should I tell him now or wait?

I rolled my eyes scoffing to myself. I couldn't do this to him again.

I wanted to be completely honest with him especially now that I know the truth. But, I wasn't sure how he would take it. He said he wasn't really worried but, I knew somehow it would hurt at least a bit. 

He was pissed at first then accepted it and now what?

I hated that I had to be the one to deliver the bad news... once again.

I bit my lip taking a deep breath reading Bonnie's message again.

You don't have to tell him now but, tell him eventually. Amber probably won't and he'll need you.

He'll need you.

Nah. He'll probably be tired of me bringing bad news and drama too.

I rolled my eyes getting out of the car kind of ready to get this over with. I just wanted to face whatever was going to come now then sit here and wondering and thinking of the worst scenarios. There's no way out of this but to tell him.

And I would have to now.

I walked up to the door and before I could even put the key in the lock, the door flew open to reveal a smiling and happy Harry. First time in a while that seeing him made me nervous and  "Took you long enough, thought I would have to come get you" he joked making me laugh nervously. I didn't expect him to be waiting for me.

Thought I would have some time to collect my thoughts.

He pulled me in pressing his lips to mine instantly. I couldn't help but smile getting lost in the kiss for a few second pulling him closer. Something I didn't think I needed till then, just relaxed me.

Until Gabby came running over to me grabbing my leg. "Mommy" she cheered making me laugh pulling away to pick her up kissing her cheek. Then I noticed the red paint all over her hands and me now.

Just got these jeans too...

"I can see you had a busy day" I joked making them laugh "She wanted to paint with you and when she woke up and notice you weren't here, she asked me. You know I can't say no but, I made sure she didn't make a mess... until she saw you" Harry smiled looking down at my clothes trying not to laugh.

"Washable?" "Of course, last thing I wanted was to get killed because I got permanent paint everywhere" he smiled making me laugh looking at Gabby playing with the paint. "You should paint your hair red mommy" she smiled. 

Red weave... maybe but my hair never gonna happen.

"One day" I whispered smiled looking around to see what she painted. "It's in the room" Harry smiled heading to the room as I followed still holding her. My mouth dropped seeing the painting on the wall. 

It was three happy stick figures with our names under them. I smiled looking over to both of them. "This is amazing baby. I love it my little Frida Kahlo" I joked tickling her. Her high pitched laughed filled the whole room and me with joy. Maybe this could be our thing to do together... Mommy and daughter time. Whatever she wanted to do but, I think it would be cute.

"Did you two eat?" I asked turning my head to see his eyes glued to his phone silent. I waited a few seconds but he didn't respond. "Harry" he looked up then back down for a second before he finally looked at me completely. "Hmm? Sorry I just... nothing. What did you say?" We just stared at each other for a second. Me: Confused and him... I don't know.
