"I don't care if you don't love me anymore." He added.
My back was still facing him but both of us stopped right on top of the staircase. He was behind me and I actually dont wanna see his face cos I dont wanna gibe in to what he's saying. I'm still having a hard time processing what he just said to me because now isn't the perfect time to tell me about this. Now isn't the perfect time for this.
Why does he always say things so unexpectedly? It's so annoying cos I'm not prepared all the time.
"I don't care at all." He continued.
I sigh heavily.
I spin around and stared at Harry.
"Stop this Harry." I tell him.
He stares at me.
"Please." I begged.
"Don't mess up with what I have with Louis. What we did behind his back was enough and I don't want that to happen again. So please, don't add up to my problems." I added.
"Confessing to you is a problem now?"
"Yes." I spit.
"Why?"
"Because I'll keep on thinking about it now that you told me. It won't leave me alone just like what we did. It will keep on haunting me Harry. I will always think about it that you love me and it won't get off from my head. I know we can't do things about it cos both of us can't be together so just stop."
I know I look puzzled as hell but he looks the same way as I do too.
"So you mean to say if you weren't with Louis now then you'd want to be with me?" He asked.
I kept my eyes on him. I don't know why but I kept on looking at him.
"Do you really want to be with me Miranda?" He asked again.
"Let's stop this Harry." I answered him while bending my head down.
I didn't say anything else anymore because I know I can't do anything about it too. His wedding is in four days from now and everyone is expecting him to be with Audrey. Everyone is excited for the wedding after it has been delayed for a week but not me. Everyone is looking forward for the wedding of the century but not me. Audrey is pregnant with his baby. Audrey is Harry's fiancée and he's suppose to marry her. Audrey has been with him for years. Audrey is meant for Harry since they make a great couple.
He just stared at me, I know I looked very problematic and bothered about what happened to us and after what he confessed to me seemed to add up to everything. It's making me insane just by thinking about it. Harry just confessed to me that he loves me. He just confessed to me, now that it's all too late for us to be together.
I pulled my head up and we just stared at each other's eyes. I can see the pain behind those pieces of emeralds that were boring into me. I can feel myself needing Harry after what he said and I can sense that he wants to be with me too than with Audrey but I can't cos I have Louis. I don't want to hurt Louis because he doesn't deserve it. He's nothing but nice to me. He's been there for me.
"I'm happy now. I'm happy for you and Audrey. Let's not complicate things. Let's forget that we did that. Let's--"
"I can't." He cut me off.
He looked serious.
"I can't just forget about it like how you want me to. I can't forget about you. I've never forgotten about you Rose and it's crazy cos I've been thinking about you since seven years ago." He adds with such tone in his voice.
I shake my head because I don't want to believe what he just said. I don't wanna hear what he just said. I don't wanna hope for something again.
"But why do you want to forget about it? Why do you want to forget about it so badly Rose? Why do you want to forget something so beautiful?" He held my cheek.
But I pushed him away. "Just cos you confessed to me, I'll give in."
"If you really love me then leave Audrey and be with me and Ben. I dare you." I dared him.
But he didn't answer anything. He just stared at me ruefully.
I exhale heavily. I wanted him to tell me that he will do it, even if for me and Ben. But it's useless. He'll always choose Audrey. I wonder why.
"Louis is waiting for us at the dining table." I said firm.
"Let's go." I began walking down the staircase.
He begins to follow me and we headed to the dining table where Louis was busy putting out our late light dinner. I sat next to Louis and he sat down right across us. I exhaled heavily once I settled myself on my seat and just wished that nothing bad will happen tonight on this table. I don't want to look at him so I just glued my eyes on my plate but my full attention was on both of them.
"So Harry, what brings you here in New York all of a sudden?" Louis asked.
I still kept my eyes on the foods.
"Well..." I hear Harry.
"I think you've heard the news about my upcoming wedding and Audrey really wants to see you, Rose and Benny on that day." He says.
I feel Louis' hand holding my hand so I slowly travelled my eyes to him.
"You wanna go?" He asked me.
No. I don't wanna go. I thought.
"I think I'll be busy on that day." I moved my head to Harry. "But Louis can go for my part. He can take Ben with him."
"Love." Louis calls out my attention.
I moved my head back to him.
"Let's all go. I want you to be there with me. If you're worried about work, I've talked to Niall about it." Louis says.
I sigh inwardly.
I don't wanna witness Harry getting married to someone else in front of me. I thought.
"Alright." I answered softly.
I begin to look back down on my plate and began to take small bits of foods.
"How's Audrey?" Louis asked.
"She's doing pretty great. Her tummy's getting a big. She loves foods that are... Out of nowhere." Harry answers.
Louis chuckles.
Is it even wrong that I wish it wasn't Harry's baby that's inside her stomach? I feel like a terrible person for thinking that way but I can't help it.
Ugh! This food doesn't taste good.
I quickly pulled myself up and stood from the table. Both of them stared at me. "Excuse me. I need to use the bathroom." I said.
I rushed my way off the table.
"Love are you okay?" Louis asked.
"Yes. I'll be back. I just need to pee." I hurried. I hated when he talked about Audrey. I feel so disgusted. Hurt.
I ran out of the dining table and rushed to the staircase as I feel my stomach churning. I slammed the bathroom door close and ran to the sink to vomit right away. I was vomiting hard and suddenly my stomach doesn't feel good after eating the meal but Louis always make those. This is the first time my stomach reacted like this over that.
I took plies of tissues and wiped my cheek. I pulled my head up and stared at the mirror before me while the running water from the open faucet was on. I stared at myself eagerly.
"No." I scoffed.
I shake my head. "Hell no. No."
I opened the small closet behind the mirror and quickly grabbed a pregnancy kit. Louis bought these in case of emergency and I think now is an emergency. This isn't a good emergency. This is terribly not good.
I can't be pregnant.
I shouldn't be pregnant.
I sat on the toilet bowl and peed. I take a small amount of urine on top of the pregnancy test and just mentally prayed that I wasn't pregnant. I was mentally cursing at myself.
Why?
Roughly three weeks ago I had sex with Harry then the following night I had sex with Louis.
"It's a positive." I said softly.
His smile grows wider across his face and he quickly threw himself at me wrapped his arms around me. I feel him constantly kissing my cheeks while he rubs my back. He's so happy. He's laughing and the look on his face when I told him that I was pregnant was priceless. He makes me feel so blessed that I have such amazing boyfriend. He makes me feel that the love he has for me is real. I never thought he'd be this happy since his lifestyle before was different from this. He doesn't look bothered about it at all and I'm happy.
"I can't believe this." He says while chuckling softly.
He pulled himself away from me, cupped both of my cheeks and kissed my forehead for a while.
"I'm going to be a dad!" He exclaims.
He pulled my chin up and kissed my lips. I held his wrist while I kiss him back and he hugs me again briefly.
"I love you Miranda. I'm going to be a great father to our baby." He says.
We pulled ourselves away from each other and I smiled back at him. He looks so happy that it breaks my heart cos even I myself doesn't know who's the real father to this baby.
"You're already an amazing father to Ben." I tell him. "I'm sure you'll be an amazing dad to our baby."
He smiles and nods. "I will be."
"Has Harry left?" I asked.
"Well, he's--" Louis looked over his shoulder and my eyes moved to where he looked.
I found Harry standing on top of the staircase. His hands were inside his pockets and he looked...
Disappointed.
Broken.
Sad.
Did he hear what we talked about?
"...Still here." Louis added.
Harry glares at the PT on Louis' hand and his eyes moved up to me.
"Harold. Good news!" Louis starts to say it.
I close my eyes shut briefly and take a deep breath in. I exhaled the same time I opened my eyes.
"I'm going to be a dad!" Louis said so with much happiness and excitement with his voice.
Harry's eyes were superglued to me. His green emerald eyes widens and looked really sorrowed. His green emerald eyes looked at me with so much pain but he couldn't say it out cos Louis is here or maybe he wants to tell me some other things. I wanna know what Harry is thinking right now. I wanna know what he feels. I wanna know what's going on inside his head after he found out I'm pregnant of Louis' baby knowing the fact that we had sex weeks ago.
I sigh. I looked back at Louis because I couldn't stare at Harry longer.
"Congrats." Harry said dryly.
Louis smiles and kissed my temples.
"I've waited for this. Finally! After so much hard work!" He joked.
I nudged Louis then fakely smiled at him.
"I really can't believe I'm already a dad!" Louis exclaims again.
