Forced Marriage

Chapter 38

Harry's POV

"Do you want, uh, something?" Selena asked as she takes a sip of her smoothie.

"No. I'm fine. My brother is... ordering." Taylor replied. "So, how have you been?" Taylor asked Selena, smiling, of course.

"I'm fine. Harry and I are quite busy organizing our wedding, though." She replied, darting her her on me for a second, smiling sweetly.

God, I just want to kiss her lips, like now.

"I see you two are happy together. When's the wedding?" Taylor asked, I can here something behind the first statement.

Selena was about to answer when I cut her off.

"We don't know when's the wedding, yet. But Simon said, it'll be handled at the first week of July." I answered not looking up as I popped my last small piece of muffin into my mouth.

She nodded curtly and turned to Selena again. This time I didn't really pay attention to what they are saying. I took a long last sip of my coffee before setting it back down on the table. I looked over to Selena. She's really beautiful like always. I thank Simon for introducing her to me and forcing the tow of us to get married. He's like a cupid. I mean, we didn't know we would fall for each other. The—

My thoughts are cut off by my phone suddenly going off. I took it from my picket and looked at the caller ID.

Liam.

I slides the screen to answer before pressing it against my ear.

"Hey, Mate." I answered, I noticed that the two girls are looking at me.

I just gave Selena a smile and waited for Liam to reply.

"Morning, Harry. Me and the boys and Simon are here in yours and Selena's house. Simon wants to talk to you about something. Where are you, anyways?" Liam asked.

"Uh, we went out. We'll be there in twenty minutes." I replied and looked at Selena to see her done with her food. She's still talking to Taylor while taking a sip of her smoothie.

"Okay. Hurry up, Harry."

"Okay. Bye." I said before hanging up.

I let out a sigh and cleared my throat making their heads snap towards me.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation but Selena and I have to go back to our house." I said, patiently as I stand up.

"Oh." That's what Taylor had said.

"Aww. We'll just meet up this Saturday, yeah?" Selena said to Taylor as thy both stood up from their seats. Selena took her purse and walked over to me.

She nodded. "Okay. Bye." She smiled waving at Selena.

"Bye." Selena and I said in unison.

But I said mine a bit more blankly.

She nodded. We walked out to see many paparazzi outside. The flashes blinding us. I placed my arm around Selena's waist and pulled her close to my side. I unlocked the car and opened the passengers door for Selena. She mumbled 'thanks' quickly before closing the door. I jogged towards the drivers door and hopped in.

I sighed and turned on the ignition.

"Are you doing okay?" I asked Selena.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Harry." She replied, smiling at me while tying her curly hair up in a bun.

"I didn't know, you and Taylor are friends... again." I said, as I drove off from the bakery.

"We, uh, just made up four months ago. That's just before we met, actually. But we really didn't interact with each other since I'm really busy from work and she's busy with recording songs and stuff. Also, I know it's awkward sitting with the ex-girlfriend together with your fiancé. I'm really sorry for that." She explained, solemnly. I could feel her gaze on me I drove.
