Chapter Fifteen

Harry 

The two women in front of me were opposites. One was fire and one was ice. A day vs night comparison. Elena was pretty but Melanie was captivating. Elena didn't compare to her ice blue eyes and well sculpted face. It was known by everybody that I have a type but now, the only type I have is Melanie Storm.

I felt Melanie's body freeze once I addressed Elena by name. I wonder what she was thinking? I glanced down at her face. Her eyes were holding understandings but even this was too much for her. She had come out of her comfort zone and somehow I felt like I was betraying it.

The once well taken spot beside me was now empty and I felt myself for the first time walking backwards to catch her and make her understand the situation. I've never chased after a woman but I couldn't help it.

I was drawn to her like rain to a storm.

Elena stares at me before I turn around completely and rush after Melanie. I'm sure a million things were racing through her head. I didn't know what this was or what we were doing but I knew after that first night, I didn't want to be away from her.

I catch up to her and she turns around and my heart falls to my feet. Her beautiful blue eyes were light and watery. This wasn't my attempt at embarrassing her. I didn't have the slightest clue that Elena was back into town or even coming. I'm sure she is thinking I was the worst. To bring her here and ditch her for my ex-fiance which I can assure you, nothing is there nor will it ever be.

Only a fool would drop a diamond for a rock.

Elena and I go way back to high school. We were both juniors but never spoke a word to each other, not until we met in a group therapy session. It wasn't no secret that my dad was a wealthy and hard man but he was also abusive and the same with her father. We bonded. She proposed to me and I regret saying yes when I clearly didn't feel the same for her as she did for me.

We "dated" on and off for 6 months and I said yes out of pity. Her father left and came back during that time. We were good friends before the night I kissed her. It was a complicated thing. Two broken souls hoping to be good for each other but I didn't feel anything. That was my mistake, the one that I have to live with. I said yes knowing It wasn't anything serious to me.

She wasted time loving someone who didn't love her back.

I've never been serious about anything in my future until Melanie.

It was like tomorrow was going to be good because she was a part of it.

Any day would be amazing with her in it.

"Melanie, wait up." at my touch, her body relaxes. She pats her face, taking away the small tears that had fallen down.

"It's okay harry. You two have history. Go be with her, I can take myself back to the hotel." Her words cut my heart like a sharpened knife. I didn't want to stay another second without her.

"If you want to leave we can leave." She shakes her head.

"No! This is your thing. You stay. This thing, is it over? Are you going to pursue something more with her again? I would understand if that is what you wanted harry."

"I told you there wasn't another woman. I didn't fill you up on lies just to get you in my bed if that is what you're thinking. I had no idea she was coming nor do I care. We have history. I can't just shove her ou-"

"I'm not asking you, Harry. I'm not asking anything from you. You can cut this whole no strings thing in half and we can both move on before we both waste our time." She wasn't wasting my time. She had given me purpose these past two weeks, more than I'd have in my whole life.
