Till I Met You

Chapter 46

JENNIFER:

"Ehemmm." Someone cleared a throat.

I was instantly back to my senses and immediately turned. I almost faint when I saw who it was.

"Mom!!"

"Good morning Mrs. Lopez. Did you have a great sleep last night?" Harry asked. He didn't move a single bit and it seems like our position didn't bother him, although we are in front of my mom.

"Absolutely. So, what's going on here?" Mom asked.

That's when i stood up. "uhm. Nothing mom. It's just...."

"No, Mrs. Lopez. She's actually trying to do something bad to me. " Harry said.

"What?!" I said, punching him. "You're such a liar!!"

"See Mrs. Lopez? She's hurting me?" he said as he rubs over where I just punched him.

I punched him again. "Stop acting like that! You're annoying!"

"How could you attack such a defenseless guy like me? Mrs. Lopez, help me!"

"Agrrrrh!" I said, giving up.

I crossed my arms over my chest and sat on the edge of my bed saying, "I hate you, Harry!"

He laughs and sat beside me. "I was just kidding, Jen. I'm sorry."

"Oh, shut up!" I said, rolling my eyes.

"Hey, look." He wrapped an arm on my shoulder. "That was a joke, okay? Sorry."

"No, you're not sorry, Harry. You are amused or happy when I'm annoyed or mad."

He chuckled. "Yeah. That's right, but believe me. I'm sorry."

I didn't respond.

"Mrs. Lopez?" Harry said.

Mom just laughed and walked towards us.

"Come on sweetie. He's just joking."

"He's annoying." I said.

"Well, I guess you have to get used to it since you are spending the rest of your lives together soon." She answered.

Crap! She's right. I almost forgot.

"I'm sorry Jen. I just really find you cute when you're annoyed." Harry said.

"So, sweetie. Is he forgiven?"

I released a sigh and said, "I hate to say this, but Yes."

Mom smiled. Harry hugged me tighter and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I'll wait for you downstairs for breakfast, okay?" And then he left.

As soon as Harry is gone, Mom decided to go downstairs too.

But before she left, she said, "You look cute together. I am very certain that he can make you happy sweetie...and keep you happy. That's all your Dad and I wanted...your happiness."

I smiled as I try to keep my tears from falling. I am happy to hear those.

And I agree with my Mom that Harry can really make me happy, but he can tear me down as well, as all others can do. And I am afraid of that.
