Business Proposal
I signed the papers
Mel POV
Mel couldn’t sleep. She was sitting comfortably in her room staring out the patio door into the night. But every time she thought about what happened downstairs in the kitchen caused a wave of heat rushed over her body, but the cool air helped to beat the heat back down.
She knew that harry was delivering a message-that any closeness she felt from him was sexual. That he would be happy to have her join him in his bed.They weren’t friends. They were two people who were shackled together via a business arrangement. But if she was looking for a white picket fences, having children on her own and now finding a playmate for Aria....well she was barking up the wrong train. Mel understands that from the start that harry was unreachable. He had tucked his emotions in so deeply that it would take a warehouse of dynamite to break through the walls he’d built. She had accepted it, since it meant that there would be no real strings between them and after three years, she would be done.
But his touch has nearly undone her. Even knowing that it was coldly applied, he still had known just what buttons she had and how to push them. He had her twisting in his arms, nearly begging him to take her on the counter top, it was shameless, she thought. If she allowed their arrangement to progress to a sexual relationship, he would destroy her. He wouldn’t mean to, but he would. After three years, he would quietly divorce her and show her the door.
Looking out into the night, Mel replayed his touch, his words to her. Wondered what would have happened if she’d let things go on. But she couldn’t wonder for long, she knew. She would become his sexual release, and he would become her world. She needed to stop it when she did, and she needed to make sure this didn’t happen again.
The morning after harry left for London, Mel went straight to the office to sign Aria’s adoption papers.
“Mel the lawyers are here.”
“Okay, Ronda. Show them to the meeting room and I would be there soon.”
“Okay.”
“Yeah thanks.”
Here go nothing Mel, as she tried to calm down her nerves. She walked into the meeting with Ronda by her side for support.
“Hello Jane,” as Mel greeted, the judge from the Supreme Court.
“Hey, Mel. Are you ready to sign the final papers?”
“Yeah sure,” she said.What if she failed at being a mum? All the what if were running high in her head. She looked up to Ronda for support but what she wanted the most was for Harry to be there with her. She took one last look around the room before signing the papers.
“So Mel, what would be Aria’s full name?”
Mel didn’t know how to respond to that answer but she wrote down Aria’s full name. Everyone in the room was shocked about my choice of name.
“Mel. Are you sure about this?” asked Jane.
“Yes I’m sure. And please stop with the questions before I regret my decision.”
“Well I am just making sure.”
“I know that, Jane.”
“Well Aria is now officially your daughter. And you are allowed to select her and her belonging from her previous foster parents on Friday. Thursday the child protections officers would be at your house for safety checks.”
“Sure thank you so much.” She said as she shook hands with Jane before leaving the room. Mel walked into her office and closed the door before releasing the tear drops.She picked up the phone and dialled Harry’s office in London.
“Hello, can I please speak with Mr Styles? Please,” she said.
“Okay, name please,” said the lady on the other end of the conversation.
“Oh I’m sorry, just say Melrose.”
“Ok, but I’m going to need your full name, Mrs.”
“Huh, just tell him his wife.”
“Sure Mrs Styles, give me a sec.”
“Yeah sure,” she said quietly from the shocked of hearing her name, ‘Mrs Styles’. Mel thoughts were interrupted harry’s voice.
“Rose.”
“Harry, I signed Aria’s adoption papers today. And she would be staying with us during our three years marriage,” she said and hang up.
Harry POV
“Rose? Hello”
Harry was confused about Rose called, was she scared about my reaction or was she scared about my answer?
“Harry, man what happening?”
“That was Rose.”
“What going on between you too?”
“She signed an adoption papers today.”
“Why is that a bad thing?”
“It a bad thing Liam, because I just got Married and we haven’t finish cutting the wedding cake yet and now birthday cake for a child. I’m just scared about it and not messing up her childhood like mine that all.”
“Does Mel know about this, that you just told me?”
“Nah.”
“Then answer this question? Do you want Mel to sign those papers and keep that child?”
“Yes if it means that she stays home.”
“Then congrat and being a dad.”
“Well geez thanks, sometimes I don’t know who appointed you as the daddy in our group.”
“Well because I’m the sensible one in the group. Seriously Harry, talk to your wife.”
“Yeah I’ll.”
Dialling Rose office number, her secretary Ronda answered the called. “Hey Ronda, may I speck with my wife please?”
“Sorry Mr Styles, she just left with Aria and they are heading home.”
“Ok, thanks”
