Fate

Chapter 33

"Hey Stella!" She says again.

I look to see who it is and it's Gemma.

"Hi Gemma! It nice to run into you like this." I smile.

"Same here. What are you up to?" She asks.

"Just doing girl stuff." I laugh and look at the manicurist.

"Oh haha nice. Could you tell Harry Im sorry I didn't go over." She asks.

"Yeah of course, why couldn't you make it?" I ask.

"Oh. Well lets just say when I got there I saw 2 girls arguing." She says looking away from me.

"You saw that?" I gasp.

"Yes." She says.

She sounds just like Harry.

"Gemma I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause a scene I was really looking forward to your company." I say putting my right hand over my chest.

"Don't worry about it. Maybe sometime else, yeah?" She says.

"That sounds lovely." I say.

"Great." She says.

I smile at her. She's so pretty.

"So, how are you and the baby?" She asks.

I nearly spit out the water I was just taking a sip of.

"You know?" I ask shocked.

"Yeah, Harry told me. So did my mum." He says brushing her long brown hair off her shoulder.

"We're fine thank you. Gosh, my own sister doesn't even know." I laugh.

"Oh wow. Guess I'm ahead." She laughs and winks.

"I guess you are." I agree with a smile.

"I gotta run, but if there's anything you need Stella, let me know. I will help you with whatever." She says giving me a hug.

"Okay thank you. Goodbye Gemma." I say returning the hug.

"Bye!" She says.

The lady finishes my mani and pedi and I drive off to my house. I need to grab more clothes.

I arrive at my house and pack another bag of clothes.

I know that Harry thinks I'm going to make up my mind later on in the week, but I made my decision secretly.

I'm staying with him.

I leave and go back to Harry's apartment quietly. I didn't even see if anyone was there.

I try to see if he has any bills so that way I could pay them and maybe pay anything else.

I hate the idea if him paying everything. I feel gross.

While I'm sitting at the table, I hear a knock at the door.

I hate having to hear it and not know who it is until I open the door.

I also hate the door knocking all the damn time.

"Yes." I say swinging the door open.

"Liam?" I ask.

"Hey Stella." He says.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah of course." I practically pull him out of the cold air and afternoon snow.

"What are you up to?" He asks.

"Oh nothing, just got home." I say.

"Harry's at work."

"I'm not here for Harry. I came to talk to you." Liam says.

"Really?" I say with a smile.

"Yeah, how have you been?" He asks.

"I'm sorry this is out of the blue but I feel comfortable talking to you."

"Your welcome anytime Liam." I assure him.

"Thanks." He says.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"Taylor. She said some stuff that she doesn't mean. She told me that she's sorry she came on to Harry." Liam says.

I can see he's hurt.

"Oh. She came here earlier this week." I admit.

"She came here?" He asks.

"Yeah. She didn't think that I knew about what she said to Harry." I tell him.

"I don't know Stella. I love her so much. I would do anything for her. I just can't believe she would even do something like that." He confesses.

"Liam I'm so sorry." I say.

I feel bad that he has to feel this way. He is such a sweet boy.

"You don't deserve this."

"I know I don't." He admits.

"You thirsty?" I ask.

"No. I'm fine, thank you." He says with an innocent smile.

If I didn't know any better, I would probably be with Liam.
