Bride to Be
Chapter Eleven
Kennedy’s POV
It’s been a couple of days since Harry and I arrived in Holmes and things have been great. Harry wouldn’t let me get out of bed to cook breakfast and insisted that he try and make breakfast. Shockingly he wasn't half bad at cooking. Today we were going to go bowling for some good old fashion fun. We hadn’t been bowling together since Harry’s eleventh birthday party when Anne had the party at the local bowling alley. We decided to just walk down to the bowling alley since it wasn’t that far away and I wanted to get some fresh air. Harry really didn’t want to walk because I was pregnant but after much fussing and whining I won and we were going to walk. Harry and I were walking down the street when I noticed a group of girls following us on the other side of the street. They were looking over at us and whispering to each other. Harry noticed them and pulled me closer to him.
“Don’t listen to them okay,” he said kissing my temple, “They don’t know our story. They don’t know us.”
“I know but it’s still kind of hard,” I said, “but please don’t get mad at them. I can see where they are coming from.”
“How?” Harry asked completely shocked.
“Think of me dating someone else,” I said, “Say I was dating Tom Parker and we ran into each other. What would you say about him?”
“Nothing nice that’s for sure,” he mumbled.
“And that’s what they’re doing love,” I said smiling up at him, “They’re mad because you’ve been single for so long and then I come into the picture and now you’re married and having a baby on the way. I think we shell shocked the fans way to fast.”
Harry then just laughed at me and kissed me.
“You are definitely going to be the best mum in the world,” he said, “This baby is going to have the best mum ever.”
“And dad,” I said, “We can’t forget how awesome the baby’s daddy is. Don’t tell my husband though, his head will swell.”
“Your secret is safe with me,” Harry winked at me and I just laughed.
We continued walking towards the bowling alley when the girls’ group got bigger and we ran into Delilah, Jared’s girlfriend, and Jared outside of Jared’s parents’ house.
“Haz! Kenni!” Jared exclaimed.
“Hey guys,” I grinned as they came down the driveway, “What are you guys doing home? I thought you were taking summer classes Jare.”
“I changed my mind,” Jared smiled, “I decided to come home with Delilah. What are you two doing here?”
“We’re. . .” I started.
“We’re on a makeshift honeymoon,” Harry smiled at me and kissed my forehead, “We got married a couple of days ago.”
“Well way to invite me,” Jared joked, “Congrats to both the wedding and baby. It’s front page news.”
“Thanks,” we said.
“And don’t worry Jared you’ll be invited to the blowout wedding,” I said, “Harry just wanted to make sure we were married just in case anything happened while I was pregnant so he could get information from the doctors.”
“Well you’re already thinking like a dad mate,” Jared said grinning at Harry.
“Thanks,” he said smiling.
“What are you guys doing now?” Delilah asked us.
“Well we were going to go down to the bowling alley and bowl,” I said, “Care to join us?”
“Duh,” Jared said, “I always used to beat you when we bowled.”
I just rolled my eyes and playfully shoved one of my best friends from my childhood.
“You’re so full of it Jared,” I said shaking my head.
“She used to beat you Jared,” Delilah said and I laughed.
“I remember that too,” Harry said and I grinned.
“Whatever,” Jared mumbled and we all started walking towards the alley.
Jared and Harry were walking together and Delilah and I were walking together catching up. We had completely forgotten about the group of girls following us until one of them said something pretty harsh.
“Are you sure its even yours Harry?” a girl sneered and I just rolled my eyes.
I watched Harry’s fists clench involuntary and Jared looked back to check on me and then on Harry. When we didn’t respond they continued taunting us.
“I bet she cheated on you Harry,” another girl yelled from across the street, “I bet she slept with Tom Parker and then said it was yours. She doesn’t truly love you Harry. She just wants you for your money.”
Delilah gasped with that statement and I just shook my head at her and gave her a warm smile. Yes the words bothered me but I wasn’t going to let them ruin my day. Everyone was walking into the building when they made one more comment and I think Harry was going to explode. I let Harry, Jared, and Delilah head in before I spun around to the girls.
“What are you going to do punch a fan of Harry’s?” I heard a familiar voice and I smiled to see Hayley walk to the front of the group, “That’ll be great publicity for you.”
“You’re just jealous,” I said.
“What?” she asked taken aback.
“You’re jealous Hayley. You’re jealous that someone that you used to pick on constantly is finally happy. Yes Harry and I have a really weird and backwards relationship but you know what it works for us. He makes me happy and I make him happy and you should be happy about that. If you are a true fan like you say you are you should be happy for all of the boys and their girlfriends. They’re not gods. They are just normal people like you and me. They have the right to find true love and I don’t know why but I guess I’m Harry’s true love. If you can’t accept that I’m sorry but I’m not going anywhere for a while and you’re just either going to have to get used to it or just walk away.”
I then spun around to see Harry standing behind me and smiled lightly.
“You’re just amzayning,” Harry teased and I just laughed.
“Zayn would be proud you used that,” I said, “Or creeped out one or the other.”
“Come on Styles!” we heard Jared’s voice exclaim, “Loser has to buy dinner tonight because we’re doubling the rest of the night!”
“I can’t lift a bowling ball,” I said and Harry grinned.
“I guess we’re buying dinner then,” Harry said and kissed me, “but I don’t mind.”
