The Night I Met Harry

Small drops tapped repetitively against the surface of the water. It's contents hugged every part of me therapeutically like it'd understood my thoughts...or longed for my contentment. My fingers were examined. Shriveled and prune-like as if I'd spent in here an eternity. The bathroom was quiet as I lay across the water. My toes were still, my mind becoming numb with the long for conversation. I spent very little time alone but I'd appreciated every moment of it. I had exactly an hour to ready myself before the girls approached the door. I'd gotten up out of duty and experienced the water trickle down my body, quite similar to a waterfall meeting a world below. I did so after pulling the plug which prevented the water from escaping me.

I stepped out onto the rug that lie in front of me, drying my entire so the dampness wouldn't follow me into the room. I walked down the hall...a long walk it was. Harry had gone out to the market so the noises I'd heard of a presence were only present in my subconscious mind.

I'd dressed myself and combed my hair in a manner of fatigue. My eyes shined bright green today...Something I'd only witnessed a mere few times in my life since birth. The smell of my lovers cooking spilled through the house like the night over day. I felt a since of geniality as I walked down to meet him. We'd been together nearly a year and he'd never let me prepare anything. A good part of me loved to allow him that power. It was something that stood him a distance away from the other guys I'd experienced. I didn't need his contact to know his skin was as soft as lavender. His eyes were mellow and gorgeous as always as though they'd been carved out of a marveled kryptonite.

Harry:
"Have fun okay. I'll be back."

He hugged me closely. His scent washing me over before surprising me with his lips. He held me for awhile as if dazed. My skin was released hesitantly as a knock sounded against the door.

Harry:
"I'll get it. Stay here."

I heard the giggles as each of them embraced him as I had. They spilled into the room wholeheartedly. My name echoing from their mouths as arms clung around me. Three was definitely a crowd when it came to them. It'd been about a week since I'd saw them last but a week too long. They'd never been here all together so I'd enjoy the company.Harry approached me again as he pulled his second arm in the sleeve of his jacket.

Harry:
"I'll be back in an hour. "

I got another taste of him on the surface of my lips before he said goodbye to the girls and left for the front door.

Plates were assembled across the table and we'd begun to eat the lasagna Harry had made for me.

Sarah:
"He did not make this..."

Her eyes fell shut orgasmically, as if heavily taken aback.


Julia:
"Oh my gosh, this tastes better than my mom's."

They laughed in sync as I stared down at the plate shyly. My cranium filled with thoughts of confessing now but I'd wait until we were cuddled on the couch...we always did that.

Cate:
"I love the house...I can tell you've been getting your way."


Winter:
"Just with the decorating."

I smiled to myself with the thought of pulling Harry through Home Depot. Something about eating the food he prepared without him made my heart sore but I knew it was just because I'd gotten spoiled. We sat around the table as we enjoyed each others company.The air was warm and comforting with our dialogue. I wasn't neglected to be filled in on everything I'd missed since our last meet.

We were around the couch now, shoes kicked off and comfortable as they admired Channing Tatum on the screen. Jule's played with the waves of my hair as I lie against her. There were bowls of strawberries between us...it was something we always ate on days we'd relax and spend time together.

Winter:
"Guys."

I wasn't sure if they'd heard or if they were still drooling from the sight Channing's abs. I sighed and breathed in slowly.

Winter:
"...Guys, I'm pregnant."

They turned to face me quietly. I was sat up and watched steadily. I felt nauseous again under their stares. Hands were on my shoulders and my knees the same. The tick of the clock down the hall grasped my attention, distracting me if only for a moment.

Julia:
"Win...repeat..."

Smiles were gracing their faces now. I didn't know which face to focus on.

Winter:
"After taking a bunch of EPTs...I went to the doctor's the other day. He says I'm pregnant."

Screams filled the lower section of the house, though I'm sure the neighbors heard. Arms were around me in that instant. I'd felt accomplished in telling them...and the reactions were lovingly memorable. My cheeks were kissed and fingers rubbed my stomach. It weirded me out a bit but I'd accepted the gesture. Cate drifted into tears, immediately setting the rest in motion. I hugged her into me as I begged her to stop.

Winter:
"Caitlyn, please..."

Julia:
"...I swear...you'd better call us for every doctor's appointment."

Sarah:
"Yea, and we're picking middle names."

I felt my own tears drop in my plea. Warm and humble against my cheek. I'd heard the door snap when it closed. My eyes went to meet Harry, a worried look wore on his face.

Harry:
"What's wrong, are you okay?"

He spoke nervously as he walked toward us slowly. I smiled through the tears as I nodded to let him know we'd been alright.

Winter:
"Dear John's just really sad."

They giggled behind me to assure him. He didn't dare question it further.

Winter:
"Harry, they ate all of the food."

He smiled over at us after swiping his hair in a side to side motion and pushing it upward. His dimples were life changing to me.

Harry:
"I ate. Its okay, I figured they would."

Cate, Julie, Sarah:
"Thanks, Harry."

Sarah:
"It was awesome."

Harry:
"No problem. You should come by more."

He leaned over the banister as he walked up the stairs.

Cate:
"We're going to keep her for a while longer then we'll send her up."

He nodded as a thank you before disappearing up the stairs. The whispering started shortly after.

Cate:
"Wait. Does he know?"

Winter:
"Yea, we've talked."

Julie:
"You want a girl or a boy?"

Winter:
"Either's great."

Sarah:
"They're going to be hot either way. You and Harry are adorable together."

They continued with the chatter until around 1 in the morning. And when they'd gone I'd missed them...but I'd also missed the warmest of Harry.

I entered the room and he'd held out his arms immediately. I loved when he did that. I climbed over him to lay on his chest, his heart thudding in a rhythmic manner. I felt myself grow tired as he trailed his smooth fingertips through the scalp of my hair. His chest rose and fell with me atop him. The feeling I'd never grow over...he stayed quiet I assume because he knew I'd been tired. The girls were a full time job but I'd loved them. I loved him. And it was almost a terror to accept how much now..
