Chapter 21

“Okay, what should we do first?” I asked as I opened the notebook and scanned it lightly.  I sat on the bed and Harry got the water bottle from the side table and gave it to me. “How about smoking?” I suggested.

“Really? Smoking? No.”

“But it’s on the list”

“No, No, and No”

“One Cigarette?” I pleaded.

“No. Let’s do another one.”

“Please Harry, it’ll just ruin everything if we don’t.”

“You are not smoking. End of discussion” 

“I’m not a baby.”

“Yes, you are. Now choose another one.”

“Please Harry” I pleaded as I swung my leg over his lap, leaning my head into his neck “Please” I began kissing his neck. 

“You can’t” His voice cracked, “You can’t do this.”

“”Please baby” I brought my lips to his and kissed him. When I pulled away he had a defeated grin. 

“Fine, One drag only. That’s it” 

“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you” I said excitedly as I started getting down from his lap. 

“Who said you’re allowed to get down?” 

“Sorry” I giggled.

We began scanning through the list together, deciding on some tasks to do for the day. He wrapped his arms around me and got a hold of my free hand, gasping lightly. 

“You’re so cold baby.” he rubbed his hands and mine lightly. “We should get you gloves.” He stood up and walked to the door. As he grabbed it, someone walked in. My parents.

“Ana, we need to speak.” He spoke, then eyed Harry “In private.”

“No. Whatever you want to say, you can say it to Harry and I”

“Well, you’ve been quiet rude the past few days, especially to your mother. You have to respect her, no matter what you’re going through.”

“But, I wasn't -“

“Don’t talk back, and think about what you did.”

“She didn't do anything. I’ve been with her the whole time and I didn’t see her being rude in any way.” 

“Of course you don’t think she was being rude. look at you.”

“For someone lecturing their daughter about being polite, you’re being very rude. Ironic”

“I won’t blame you for being this rude. Your mother probably hadn't raised you to be a man, and your father probably ran away when he found out he was stuck with you as a son.” 

He did not just say that. I looked at Harry as his jaw clenched, and his knuckles turned white. His eyes darkened and I knew he was holding himself from hitting my father. Just hit him Harry.

“Harry’s mother is one of the best mothers. You wouldn’t know because you’re too busy judging people. Harry was there for me when both of you weren’t. You come from japan and expect everything to be okay, Its not!. Guess what? Harry means to me more than the two of you will ever mean. Come on Harry, we’re leaving.”

I got out of bed, and grabbed Harry’s hand. I felt hot tears streaming down my face. I cant’t believe I just said that, how inconsiderate. My mother was crying and my Father’s eyes were glossing. I looked up at Harry and he had a proud grin.
