Don't Judge {Completed}

Part 39

Your POV

I saw how visibly shaken Harry was by the question, I figured since I had revealed a huge chunk of myself I figured Harry would to. It didn't look like he was comfortable with the question from the way his eyes darted all over the place and the way he looked like he wanted to bolt at any minute. So I decided to comfort him, placing my hand on his and gently stroking it. If he wasn't comfortable fine but I would reveal a secret in place of his if that's what it took. I didn't care, right now with him I was an open book. So I kissed kid his and decided to coax the story out of him. Taking a sip of my coffee and clearing my throat, I looked up at him.

"How about I reveal something first then you can go, alright", I suggested.

He looked down and nodded his head, almost grateful for the relief.

"I already told you my parents died in a car crash, but what I didn't say was that right after they died I had no one. Ben was my only life line, so he moved me in with him and convinced me to put the money my parents left me in big of our names. He spent it, every last of it before taking the rest of it and running off with his ex. He left me pregnant and alone with literally nothing, I had no choice but to take all these odd jobs to support my son and myself", I sniffled.

"Your a strong woman you know that", he whispered placing a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Thank you", I whispered back.

"Hazel was my first and only girlfriend, she and I met in college. We were inseparable and even talked marriage once we got our degrees which wasn't long. On our last year of college her parents introduced her to someone who was already rich and had a great living. She chose him over me, she just l,eft me one day and avoided me the rest. I started to drink after that, I was really upset about the whole thing. I wasn't really able to get over her till last week", he gulped.

"What happened", I asked getting closer to him.

"I saw her, I was driving in my vintage Mercedes around and I stopped at the park I used to go to. This vender used to sell me warm nuts while I walked around the park thinking, so I decided to get some and I saw her. Only she didn't look rich, she told me they married two weeks after they met. But as soon as she graduated from college his company went under. Sadly, I was happy for her misfortune because now she hurt just as much as she hurt me. Here I am the richest guy between us two and she was scrambling to make ends meet. But it made me realize that I could move on". He said lowly.

"Oh Harry", I rubbed his back.

"So I want to move on, but with you".
