BEAUTIFULLY UNFINISHED novel Chapter 66

SIXTY-FIVE

M I R A N D A

I stand on an empty balcony as I try to process what Perrie confessed to me. I couldn't stop thinking about it and I hate it when I'm too bothered.

Perrie just said that Audrey is using Harry and has been using Harry ever since. She used Louis too to get famous but failed with it cos Louis was protecting her from all the hates she'll be getting yet it wasn't enough for her cos she was modelling. I don't know if it's true but base from what Audrey did to Louis, I think she is using Harry even until now that he's much richer.

I gasped.

What if it isn't Harry's baby that's inside her? That thought popped into my head.

"There you are."

An arm snaked around my waist and only to find Louis behind me. I spin around and faced him. He smiles and he looks a bit drunkish but not totally wasted.

"You're drunk." I pinched the tip of his nose.

"I'm not. Drank a little bit love but you know how Niall's Irish blood kind of influences all of us." He says with a smile.

I sniffed him once, "And you smell too much alcohol too."

"I won't be taking much alcohol if that's what you want." He puts the glasses down on the table.

I smile at him. "You're not a kid anymore and we're not in high school. You go enjoy. Just don't get too much wasted. I don't wanna carry you."

He chuckles.

"What are you doing here?" He asks. "The party's inside."

"I wanted to... get some fresh air." I say.

"You wanna go back to the room now?" He asks.

"No. Maybe in a while."

"Alright, then I'll stay here with you." He says.

I smile at him, "You're adorable. C'mon and let's join your friends. I don't want you to miss the fun."

I try to pull him to get back inside but he pulls me back. He spins me around so I can face him again and I feel my sex pressed against his crotch. He bites his lips briefly before looking back into my eyes.

"Still gets me every time." He say.

I smile at him. "Your eyes are droopy but it's still sexy as hell."

He smiles back.

"I love you Miranda." He says so seriously.

I kiss his lips briefly but he cups my cheeks and kisses me deeper. We kissed for a while and it just thrills me when Louis invades my mouth. He pulls me in and grabs one of my booty but I don't mind.

We smile in between our kisses and Louis being naughty as hell at this kind of situation isn't a good thing at all.

"Okay that's enough for eating my lips." I tell him.

He grins. "Want me to eat your other lips?"

I chuckle as I smack him. "Maybe in a while."

He chuckles and kissed my lips briefly.

"But first we need to go back inside and join the others." I added.

"Okay. If you say so boss." He playfully says.

He placed his arm around my shoulders and we both marched our way back inside the party. Everyone, I meant the men, looked drunk and all had droopy red eyes. Their faces were getting red, but Niall's was redder. He was blushing. I scanned through the guests and spotted Perrie with Zayn. She still looks sad as she looks at me, but she smiled and I smiled back to make her sure that what she told me was safe.

But how can I not be bothered about Harry and Audrey's situation? She's using Harry. She's been using him all along and that child inside her might not be Harry's?

Or is it?

I don't have any proof that can make my statement against Audrey true but I believe Perrie. I just wish I can tell Harry about it without Perrie getting defamed. I wish I never knew about this cos the more I think about it, the more I have the urge to say it to Harry.

Louis leads me to the table where the others were. I sat next to Louis and the table was full with drinks before us. I noticed that Audrey was still around and she's still looking like she wants to leave already. I gaze at Harry and his eyes pierced at me.

"Now that we're all here on this table, Louis has an announcement to make." Niall slurs as he wraps his arm back around Dianne.

All attention turned to Louis as he stands and smiles with a glass of liquor on his hand.

"I am the luckiest man to ever cross path with such lovely woman." Louis glares at me as he takes my hand and kiss my knuckles.

I hear Perrie, Sophia and Dianne cooing together.

I shy. "Love, you don't have to be Romeo."

The rest of the guests in our table were laughing, except for Harry and Audrey.

Louis chuckles. "I'm making a speech love."

I bite my lip at how adorable my fiance is.

"And I am proud to say that I am finally going to hand her my Bachelor card." He says so geekily.

My smile keeps growing on my face. "You're such a dork." I sheepishly say.

"I have finally asked for Miranda's hand and you're all invited to the wedding once the date is all set." He says as he shows my ring to them.

All of them clapped and cheered and teased except for Harry and Audrey but I didn't mind. Harry kept his eyes at me and his trying to kill me with his piercing gaze. He's chewing something inside his mouth. I hate it when he looks at me like that. He makes me feel like I'm a serial killer and he knows I killed someone. Harry's cold penetrating green eyes terrifies me at times. I tried to ignore him though.

"I think Niall is going to be the last man standing." Louis jokes.

"Nah, I'm not old enough yet unlike you." Niall playfully answers back.

We laughed again.

Perrie pulled up a glass, "To Louis and Miranda."

We made a toast.

"To us and our upcoming baby." Louis added right away.

Everyone was shocked and so was I. Louis finally took claim of this baby inside me even though he knows it's Harry's and Harry is here with us. I glance at Harry and he was just peacefully sipping on his glass of champagne. He was just bending his head down and stared the glass that was on his hands. I don't know if Louis' had too much to drink but everyone was so happy for us and I don't want to ruin this moment for Louis and neither for me.

H A R R Y

One week ago...

I sat on the couch right across Louis and I have been inside his office, waiting for him to finish his negotiation with his new client. I glared at my watch the same time he finally steps inside the room. He quickly joins me and sat on the couch right across me.

"I know I promised to meet you at lunch today but I had some meetings to attend to." He say.

"It's alright." I answered.

"Coffee? Tea? Water?" he offers.

"No, I'm good." I answered.

He nods. "I'm glad you're around New York." He tells me.

I nod. I study Louis from where I was sitting down and he looks so calm yet tensed. I could tell he's tensed. I should be the one who should be tensed, I was the one who almost cause him to break up with Rose. I fucked his girlfriend but he's acting like it doesn't bother him.

"Louis, I know you're mad at me for what I did. Don't stop yourself from hitting me." I finally blurted.

"What the hell Louis get up!" I almost kind of screamed.

He stands.

"I'm sorry." I say.

He looks at me.

"I know how hurt you are cos of what I did. I know how you try to ignore what happened. I know I've betrayed you more than once and this one with Rose is way too far but I am sorry Lou. I am so sorry." I begin to feel my tears.

He wipes his tears.

"I'm..." I trailed off.

I exhaled heavily.

"I'm giving Miranda Rose to you." I said softly.

"I promise to.... I promise to never tell anyone that that baby's mine." I added.

I pat his shoulder and even though I don't want to do this cos I badly want to be Miranda's baby's father, it's bad for her image. It will ruin her. It will ruin me too. It will ruin all the people around us. It will ruin Rose more. If Louis will stand as the father, it'll be more acceptable cos he's the boyfriend. But what if the baby will have curly hair? Just like Ben.

But for what its worth, she doesn't deserve any hateful and harsh bashes from people who hates her just cos she had a son with me and she's on a relationship with Louis.

"I know you'll be a great father to my child." I said to him.

Louis quickly gave me a hug. "I won't deprive you from seeing once the baby is out."

And that was the worst decision I've ever done in my entire life.

"Harry..." I hear Audrey's voice while she keeps on moving me.

I was lying in bed but I wasn't asleep. I couldn't sleep. Miranda and Louis runs through my head. Their engagement is bothering me and the fact that I gave Louis the chance to become a biological father to my second baby with Miranda is making me doubt if I did the right thing. I mean, it will surely hurt me even the thought of it already hurts.

"Harry..." She groans again.

I feel something wet on the bed.

"Did you pee Audrey?" I asked her.

"No!" She exclaims.

I kept patting my palm over to her side of the bed and it was really wet.

"My water broke!" She screams.

I gaped.

"Holy shit!!" I jumped out of the bed and caddies her over my arms

She begins to hold her tummy and started to groan then begins to scream louder and louder. I wasn't practiced for any of this. I don't know what to do and I'm panicking the fuck out. I quickly ran out of our hotel room and began knocking on Zayn's door since his room was the nearest to ours and tried calling on Liam's phone at the same time too.

Shit it's three in the goddamn morning and I know they're all asleep or either fucking till the sunrise.

Zayn's door opens. It was Perrie.

She yawns but then stops when she heard Audrey's scream.

"Her water broke." I spit.

She gaped. "Holy shit. Zayn! Ohmigod! Zayn baby get up!" She screams while she runs back inside their room and try to wake up Zayn.

She comes back with some casual clothes on and Zayn wearing a shirt, some jeans and sneakers.

"Zayn will drive you to the nearest hospital. Hurry baby." Perrie says.
