Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter Eighty Seven

We sit at the dinner table me being half asleep as well as Harrison's father who also had a nap.

I look at the Cannelloni's that sit in a pan with ricotta cheese in the middle of the cannelloni noodle, red sauce covering it. On the side we have a Greek Salad, and some garlic bread.

"As always this looks delicious Mum." Harrison says before I could.

"I agree with his statement." I tell her

"Same, looks delicious Honey." Harrison's father says

Kb chuckles, "Awe you guys are making me blush." She says putting a hand up to one of her cheeks.

I giggle at her cuteness.

"Well we have enough Cannellonis for everyone to have two, same with the garlic bread. And as always more then enough salad." She smiles

We all get a plate full of the delicious savoury meal. I can feel my mouth water, never being more hungry in my life.

I try not to moan as I eat a fork full of the cannelloni. I cover my mouth, "Oh my god. Wow this is really good, I knew it was gonna be good but it's even better then I imagined." I tell her, "Good job."

She chuckles. "Why thank you."

After dinner I talk with Kb, she tells me more about Harrison when he was only little, all the crazy things he did as I child.

I cover my mouth in shock, "Oh my god, he climbed onto the roof!" I squeak.

"Yeah! Good thing my neighbour saw this because I was busy with making dinner. He knew how to open the screen as well as knowing open to baby proof pill bottles."

"Holy Moses." I gasp looking over at Harrison who sits at the dinner table across from us from the kitchen.

Btw. That's what I did when I was younger about 4 I knew how to take the screen off and I threw all my stuffies on the roof and climbed on the roof. My neighbour basically bolted across the street and I knew how to open anything that kids weren't supposed to know....😅 I was a crazy child.

Harrison presses his lips pouting a bit as he rests his head on his fist, I laugh and he try's not to smile. He smiles a bit keeping his lips pursed.

Picture up there^^

Then I tell about how I was when I was younger being the same way but a little more crazy.

"Harrison though, as he got older he tend to clam down, but that didn't stop him from getting hurt."

"Well I'm surprised I didn't get hurt or broke a bone when doing all those crazy things."

Kb laughs, "Well your definitely lucky, Harrison broke his arm trying to do a stunt on his bike with his friends."

I'm making up this stuff, but it's all the things I cold see Harrison doing when he was a kid.

"Damn."

"He didn't even cry, until he saw."

I cringe my stomach feels sick at imagining that. I shiver at the thought of his arm bent the wrong way.

"Tess can I talk to for a second." Harrison asks

"Oh sure." I smile

He takes my hand and bring me out to the balcony closing the doors.

I peck him on the lips, "What's up?" I ask beaming.

"I think you need to sit down." He tells me not smiling.

My smile falls, "Harrison what's wrong?" I ask sitting down.

He sits down beside me. He takes a breath in, and then out.

"Harrison?" I put a hand on his leg.

"Are you pregnant? And did you not tell me?"

"Pregnant?" I chuckle a bit, "I'm not pregnant." I laugh. But then my face falls, thinking. I was having black outs...hungry more then before..mood swings...being tired earlier then usual, feeling a bit bloated.

"My mum noticed it."

I put a hand to my mouth, "Oh my god.." I look to Harrison then look down to my stomach putting a hand on it. My breathing picks up, I don't want to have to quit my job....I don't want Harrison to have to quit when the baby is born.

I stand up not thinking about this before, Harrison follows standing up when I do.

"Tess?"

I keep my eyes down at my possible growing belly. My breathing heavier.

"We..." I swallow a lump in my throat, "We uh..we need to—I need to get a pregnancy test." I tell him quickly walking inside.

"Tess! Wait for me." I hear Harrison shout.

I breathe heavily panicking, I don't want him to have to quit, he wants this job. And I'm pretty sure Hoppo will hire him as a full time lifeguard.

"I can I use your car?" I ask Kb, "I need to get something from the store..."

"Yeah sure honey. The keys are just hanging by the door. On the first hook that's my car."

"Okay thank you." I tell her.

"You alright?" She asks

"Yeah, perfectly fine." I smile

I walk to the door and grab the keys closing the door behind me forgetting that I have no idea where the store exactly is in town.

I hear muffled voice shout from behind me. All I can hear perfectly fine is my breathing and my heart beat in my ears.

Everything slows down as I walk to the car.

I think about how my dad had quick his job in surfing because my mum being pregnant. His job that he loved.... cherished...the one he's worked hard for. My mum having to take a leave on her job, after when she was able to work again they didn't take her back, having someone better had came in. My dad couldn't get his job back either my mum not wanting him to get hurt, instead he had to do something that was good paying but didn't like.

I pull the door open of the car.

I feel Harrison's hand on my shoulder, it snaps me out of the trance, he turns me around I let go of the handle of the car door letting it close.

"Tess...let me drive." He says taking the keys from my hand.

I don't say anything but nod. I go to the other side and get in the passenger seat.

As he drives I blankly look out the window.
