Chapter Two- I Had To Find You Tell You I Need You

"Okay, you're going to have to tell me the story again" Lucy insisted. She and Henry were laying in bed facing each other at their apartment in New York. They had both returned the day before after visiting in Virginia.

A week after Henry and Jonah had walked in on Holly and another man in Henry's apartment, Henry returned to Virginia to be with Lucy.

Jonah insisted on going back to work as soon as possible. He didn't want to miss out on any training and was looking for anything to distract from the humiliation of Holly cheating on him—and Henry catching her in the act.

Henry insisted that he couldn't get back on a plane without him so he decided to take some time off of work to go home and visit his girlfriend and his parents.

Lucy was in her second year of Law at New York University and had taken two weeks off to visit her father in Virginia. Her father, Richard Grant, is a paediatric surgeon.

"Apparently, Holly thought that I was in Virginia with you and she had a key to the apartment so she thought it was a good idea to bring the guy back here."

"That's why we have a new couch and a new mattress, headboard, and sheets" Lucy scoffed looking away. "What about Jo? How was he?"

"Not good. They were together for three years" Henry sighed. "What about Holly?"

"She feels stupid. She's in disbelief that she would ever cheat on him. She thought he was going to cheat on her because he was working all the time."

"Jo would never do that" Henry insisted.

"I know" Lucy looked directly into Henry's eyes. "Do you think they can fix their relationship?"

"I don't know" Henry laced his fingers through Lucy's. "Jo is very stubborn. If you violate his trust, he doesn't come back to you very easily."

Jonah was inside a local bar in Virginia when his cell phone rang. He looked at the Caller ID before answering it; he didn't want to talk to Holly right now. It was Maya.

"Hey" he said putting the phone to his ear.

"Hi. What are you doing right now?" Maya asked.

"Sitting in a bar trying to drink away my relationship" Jonah answered as he put his hand around the glass sitting in front of him.

"I'll join you. Should you be drinking already?"

"It's been three weeks" Jonah stated. "I'm good."

"I mean, in the morning. It's 11 a.m."

"It's 5'o'clock somewhere, right?"

Maya chuckled on the other line. "I'll be there in a bit. Don't start any bar fights, okay?"

"Never. It's too early in the morning for that" Jonah smiled as he hung up the phone.

Henry's phone vibrated on the kitchen table as he set mugs down on the counter. He picked up his phone and opened the screen. His boss had texted him that he needed to be in the office today.

"Hey, Luce" he called out, his eyes still fixated on the screen.

Henry heard footsteps coming down the hall as Lucy made her way to the kitchen.
