The Way Things Work

Chapter Sixty Seven

"Why don't you grab a bowl of cereal as well?"

"Harry, I'm not actually pregnant." You smirked as he tried to get you to eat more.

"Sam? Shut up and get some cereal." He laughed and followed as you obliged.

"Special K?" You asked, hoping he'd share. You really weren't that hungry.

"Sounds, good." You laughed at the ridiculous face he put on and turned around. You bumped into someone half way around and they split a tray of drinks entirely over you. 

"Oh my! I'm so so so sorry!" She pleaded without even looking up. 

You placed your hand on her shoulder to relax her as she frantically picked up the drinks. "It's fine." You said soothingly as she began to stand.

Her eyes met yours and she dropped the cups as her stare went stale. "I take that back, I'm not sorry." She sneered.

"Excuse me?" You questioned.

"I don't apologize to whores." She scoffed.

"I-I'm not-"

"She isn't a whore and don't you dare talk to my girlfriend like that!"

"Why is she even still around?" The waitress growled in disgust.

"Maybe because I love her?" Harry pondered sarcastically.

"After all she did to you-"

"You don't no jack! Those tabloids are scum and they lie through their teeth every chance! She is amazing and I love her so aback off!"

"What about her baby!?"

"She's not even pregnant!"

"Oh-"

"Yeah, oh! Leave her alone!" Harry yelled before grabbing the tray and you and storming up to the room. He slipped in the room key and slammed the door against the wall as he slid the tray onto the table causing the contents to spill. 

"Harry!" Yo snapped.

"What?!" 

"You need to relax." You said calmly as you shut the door.

"I know." He sighed as he thrust himself at the bed. You walked over and began to rub his back as he gently cried into his pillow. "Why do you stay?"

"What?"

"Why do you stay?"

"Stay where?' You giggled.

"With me?"

"Do you seriously have to ask that? I'm here because I love you."

"But I put you through so much."

"And most of it is good. You aren't responsible for this."

"I can't help be feel that it is."

"Try, because it's not."

"I love you."

"I love you too silly." You smiled as he pulled you close for a kiss.
