Breathing

Chapter 81

"Well talk through it. You have too many exciting things happening, to let Alex step in and mess it up now"

"I know. I really think he was just trying to get a rise out of me that day. I haven't heard from him since graduation and I'd be surprised if I did. Alex isn't stupid he's just an asshole"

"Well we tried to tell you that-"

"God mom please don't lecture me right now." I laid back on our unmade bed, rubbing my hand lightly over my stomach.

"Ok well just talk it out. You can't give up so easily over a little fight. You have to think about Buzz"

"Harry has you calling him buzz now?" I almost laughed into the phone.

"It's cute. As silly as it sounded the first time he said it. It's definitely grown on me" she laughed.

"I guess"

I heard a light knock before the door opened. Harry's hair was visible before his face as he peeked in.

"I'll call you later mom" I watched him step into the room.

Harry's pov

Great she had called her mum. Now I really had to fix it before I got a call from her dad.

"Hey.."

"Hi." She watched me move over to the bed. I sat down next to her as she sat up.

"I'm sorry" we both said in unison.

I laughed turning away from her as she started to giggle.

"I didn't mean to be a dick. I just hate that we keep fighting these unnecessary battles. You don't need to be stressed while being pregnant and I just want you safe and happy. You may not always say anything when something's bothering you but I can tell. When we met you were cheeky and all smiles. Now you seem really defeated. You smile trying to convince me but I know you're stressed. I feel like Liam stole your light. Now your goddamn ex is back to stir up fucking trouble. You can't catch a break. We can't catch a break."

"Harry I'm fine really. I don't want you worrying about me all the time. I've dealt with Alex before, he's a jerk. I don't think he would actually hurt us though."

"I get that you feel that way but I don't want to risk anything. You also thought Liam was a good friend at one point."

She flinched at my mention of Liam's name. I noticed and switched the subject back to Alex.

"I'd rather slap this guy with a restraining order and call it a day. Just be done with it all"

"Ok. We can try but John said it will most likely be denied"

"Well we will keep trying then"

"Ok" she smiled and I slid my arm around her back. She laid her head on my shoulder and I gently tugged on a few wavy strands of hair.

"Ow! What are you doing?" She frowned looking up at me. I ran my thumb over her bottom lip. A smirk replacing my smile as many dirty thoughts crossed my mind.

"What?"

"I just really love your mouth" I gently traced her lips. Pulling her bottom lip down with my thumb again.

She looked confused before catching on.

"Really?"

"I think I'm getting arthritis in my hand" I pouted praying silently she would show mercy and help me out.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I really really love your lips.."I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth.
