A Lost Object [h.s]

Chapter 43

Aurora

"Are you sure he has a girlfriend Aurora?"

I sighed with a shrug of my shoulders. "I don't know, I didn't ask him about it." Odyssey gave me a look of sympathy. Something of which I did not need nor want at this moment. I probably shouldn't have told her about what I read the other day. Not without confronting Harry about it anyways. It could have possibly been nothing. It's been almost four days since the incident. I couldn't get it out of my head. 

"Do you want me to talk to him?" I vigorously shook my head. "No please don't." Odyssey having a conversation with Harry about this was the last thing I wanted to happen. I shouldn't care so much about this. Even if it is true, if it turns out that Harry does really have a girlfriend, I just have to keep reminding myself that this is an arranged marriage. Nothing more to it. There is no real feelings involved in this what so ever. It is just to please our parents. That's all it is.

"Let's go out somewhere." 

"I don't want to go out. We're always going out"

"It'll be good for you Aurora. You can clear your head and stop worrying so much about things you shouldn't be worrying about. We don't have to go to a restaurant, anything you want to do is fine." What I really wanted to do was to turn off the lights and sleep, but I didn't want to be disrespectful. I didn't want to kick Odyssey out, she was just trying to be helpful.

I changed the subject in focus in hopes to steer the focus away from me and my issues, "How are things going with Zayn?"

She smiled brightly, her eyes twinkling at the mention of Zayn's name. "They are definitely going. We finally made it official. He took my for a drive around the city on his motorbike at midnight, then we went to his house. Absolutely mesmerizing might I add. He has a huge inground pool and a jacuzzi in his backyard, we went for a late night swim, had a few make out sessions, then asked me to be his girlfriend. It was amazing. I think he just might be the one Aurora."

"I'm happy for you Odyssey, truly. You deserve all the joy and happiness coming your way." Odyssey had waited a long time for someone like Zayn to come along. The way she talked about him and the way her eyes light up at the mention of his name made it clear that she did find the one. I had never seen her so smitten. I can tell she was in love with him.

"Thank you my love." 

I smiled, "I guess this means that now you won't be needing those boys after all when we move into our 12 bedroom mansion in Palm Beach Florida." Odyssey began to laugh, "That is true."

Our laughter had died down at the sound of my bedroom door creaking open. Harry came inside, awkwardly making his way over my desk. He sat down on the chair, turning around to face us. Odyssey was as confused as I was. What was he doing here? We didn't have any plans for the day. Not any that I know of at least. My mother hadn't told me anything about plans with Harry.

"Hey" I said in hopes of breaking the silence that overtook the room.

"Hey" He replied back looking between Odyssey and I. I pursed my lips with confusion.

"Your mother called me and told me to come over. She said it was best if we spend everyday together before the wedding." Everyday? There was still four more months until the wedding. I don't think I can handle spending everyday with Harry for four more months. It was already hard enough as is. What was my mother trying to accomplish by suggesting this?

A phone had dinged a few times. I thought it was Harry's because his phone always seems to go off when I'm around, but I was wrong. Turns out it was Odyssey's phone. She opened the messages with a smile on her face. She looked up at me with raised eyebrows. "Zayn wants me to meet up with him. Are you going to be okay without me?"

I gave her a sarcastic smile, "Of course I will. I have a busy four months ahead of me." Odyssey stood up from the bed, quickly giving me a kiss and a hug before rushing off.

Harry twirled around in the chair with his head leaning back, staring up at the ceiling "Who's Zayn?"

"Odyssey's boyfriend." He stopped twirling in the chair with a hum. "what's his last name?"

I looked at him with confusion. Why did he need to know that information? "I'm not sure. Why?"

"Never mind. What are you doing?"

"Not much really. Did you have plans in mind?" He shrugged his shoulders. He stood up walking over to the bed and laying down next to me. "We could make out" I shook my head in disagreement, not surprised by his reply.

"Or we could go to sleep."

"I suppose we can do that too, but it's only three in the afternoon." I admit. I did sleep a lot. It is only because I barley get enough sleep because of college and my mother. I had to sleep whenever I had the chance in order to stay sane.

"The perfect time of day to sleep." I told him. Harry laid on his side to look at me. His arms were crossed over his chest and his eyebrows furrowed in worry. "Are you okay Harry?"

"Did you touch my phone?" I was completely caught off guard by the question. Why was he asking? How could he have possibly known I touched his phone?

"It fell in-between the couch cushions, I was just getting it out" It wasn't a total lie.

"What did you see?"
