Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 36

"Would you like a drink?" Harry closed the door behind him. He needed to talk with Yaser and the study seem the best option. The only option since they had a house full with visiting family and friends, aka Liam minus his kids.

"I'm here for my grand babies not to catch up with work, Harry" Yaser was smiling but his voice firm, "we're in a study, you're offering a drink, that means whatever it is..it's work"

"Why you act like I've never offered you a drink before?" Harry asked making himself a hard one, "Contrary to your suspicious mind work is not the reason I wanted to talk to you privately.."

"Are you and Zayn getting a divorce?" Yaser asked sitting down.

"Wow, just..wow" Harry shook his head at Yaser's crazy mind..

"You've never talked to me privately before.."

"I have, Yaser..many times.."

"Well, I don't remember" Yaser laughed when Harry gave him his best shocked face, "just go on then tell me what you've done"

"And then he assumes I've done something" Harry tutted.

"Explain then why you pulled me out from our family dinner just before dessert to talk. What's more important than dessert? Not unless Trisha told you to distract me from it" Yaser crossed his arms, "she did, didn't she? Well you can tell her the chocolate stash in my car is gone she didn't have to deny me your mom's trifle. I can't help it I've got a problem with my glands.." he scoffed.

"..more like your hands.." Harry mumbled having a drink.

"Huh?"

"Gin and tonic, better than trifle and less calories.." Yaser stared at him as if pondering what to do, "just saying.." Harry shrugged.

"You have ice?"

"Yeah.." Harry smiled.

They drank in silence Harry looking at Yaser to break the ice, "soo, the weather huh"

"Soo, what did you do?"

Harry chuckled, "I need your advice, that's all"

"I'm honoured you ask me for advice" Yaser bowed down,

"You're my father figure, so it makes sense to come to you.."

"Aww, thank you" Yaser smiled touched, "youre too kind. So what you've done?"

"I may have hidden some information from Zayn.."

"You lied to him you mean.."

"Lying is a harsh word..I omitted to tell him something important.."

"Oh dear, do I have to know? What if Zayn kills you, it'll be hard to pretend I know nothing.."

"You and your overactive mind, it's not that bad.." Harry down his drink for some Dutch courage, "well, depending which way you look at it anyway"

"The suspense, tell me already.."

"It's about Amelia.."

"It's not cancer is it? Is that why she had the surgery, I knew you were hiding something from us. How bad is it?" Harry shook his head.

"Amelia is fine..enough dramatics. It's about her father, her real father.."

"I don't want to speak ill of the dead but didn't your sister say she didn't know who the father was? Why bring this up? Zayn is her father now..don't tell me someone came forward claiming to be the father after all these years" Yaser asked uneasy about the prospect of his granddaughter being in another custody battle. Just when everyone was getting along, when will Zayn get a break for goodness sake.
