Inescapable Love

chapter 39

At 7:30, after lot of yelling, Harry finally goes into the shower. I search my closet for a nice dress and my eyes catch the sight of the dress Harry bought for me when we had to go to lunch with his clients. I get dressed quickly and sit on couch reading a novel on my iPad. Harry catches my attention as he paces back and forth in the closet in just his towel.

"Hey," I lean by the closet door, "What's up?"

"I have nothing to wear," he pouts.

"Seriously?" I laugh.

"I might as well wear this. Girls will go crazy!" he smirks and I roll my eyes. He laughs, "Okay, lemme change go out." I nod and turn, "Or do you wanna stay?" he raises a brow at me.

"Nope," I say with disgust, "Come on, get ready quickly." I sit on the bed finishing the last chapter of my novel. Harry comes out wearing a light gray suit and a light green shirt. I look at him with wide eyes and a blush creeps through my cheeks.

"What do you think?" he asks me raising his eyebrows.

"Uh, it's pretty good." I say, not able to take my eyes off him.

"Pretty good, huh?" he smirks, which he does a lot these days, "Your beetroot like cheeks say otherwise." he says me closer, "They say you want to rip this off and lick the body beneath it, don't they?" I laugh, "We are getting late." I state

"Alright, Miss timer, let's go." he sighs.

"Why are you driving?" I ask as we get to the car.

"'Cause I like to take care of my things and I have a feeling that handing my car to you would be a decision I would regret deeply." I say. Sarcasm, it's getting on my nerves.

"I meant why don't you have a driver?"

"I did earlier but I didn't like his driving." he replies, "David's driving style matches mine so I let him drive. Speaking of David, did I tell you Andrea is pregnant?"

"What?!" I exclaim, "David's going to be a father! That's amazing." a huge grin appears on my face.

"Yeah it is." he smiles back.

"Isn't that life altering? I mean, having a baby is the biggest responsibility anyone can have. Do you think they are ready for it?"

"Yes, of course. Why do you think they are not?"

"Because, David is always stuck up with you. And now that he will have a little David to play with I don't think he'll like your company anymore. I know if you were a father right now the mother of your child would be frustrated because all you do is work."

"Are you indirectly taunting me for working?"

"Twenty four freaking seven!" I raise my hands up in the air dramatically.

"Well, can I tell you something?" he asks and I nod in approval, "I hated my work before I got married to you. It wasn't my thing to handle clients, emailing my youth away in a corner office. My thing was music and singing. I used to go to office but not like the past few months, just for hardly five to six hours then the five of us used to hang out in one of the five houses with our girlfriends and enjoy ourselves. Or practically waste our time."

I sigh as he reaches the end. Looking out of the window I wonder why I ever said yes to this wedding? Why he said yes to this wedding? Things would be so much better than they are. I wouldn't have found the truth about my life, Harry would be happy with his girlfriend.

"Why did you..."

"...Say yes?" he finishes my sentence, "I don't know maybe I was destined to be with you." he takes my hand in his and intertwines our fingers, "I don't regret it anymore." he smiles at me, "Do you?"
