Aliah's POV

I stared at the picture, eyebrows furrowed, eyes confused. Thinking of how I could possibly describe the picture..

It was big.

No it wasn't big, it was huge.

I heard Harris placing his hand on the doorhandle and pulling it down, I quickly turned the phone upside down and tried to not look suspicious in any way.

He walked into the room, took his shirt off and got into the bed.

"We have an appointment tomorrow by the way, It's a bit further away but-"

He stopped talking when he noticed his phone upside down.

"Is something wrong?" I asked after clearing my throat.

He picked his phone up and looked at the screen. I currently was shitting my pants, worried he would get mad for looking into his phone.

"Aliah?"

"Yes?" I responded with a high pitched voice.

"Did you look into my phone?" He asked. I couldn't read if he was mad or if he didn't mind.

"No." I lied.

He made eye contact with me and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes..." I eventually said.

"Why?" He asked.

Well if my husband smiles at his phone, I obviously will look into it. And I think every girl is like that.

"You were smiling at your phone earlier and-"

"-And you didn't trust me" He chuckled annoyed while shaking his head.

"No I did-do, but I don't know.."

He got out of bed and started pacing.

"There goes my surprise."

"What do you mean surprise and why is this girl talking to you about houses?" I asked.

I wasn't connecting the dots yet.

"Please Aliah, just think for once."

For once? I'm pretty sure I'm way smarter than you.

"For once?" I scoffed.

"No I didn't mean it like that." He said sitting back down. He sighed and looked me in the eyes.

"She's an old friend who's a real estate agent, I'm looking into new houses for us to live in." He said.

Crap.

"Wait so you're-" I said when I finally realised what he was planning on doing, but he interupted me and finished the sentence. "We're moving Aliah, I was going to plan a huge surprise when I got the house but I guess you partly ruined that now".

"I'm so sorry Harris, I should've trusted you."

I felt horrible for not trusting him. I have so much trust issues lately. Those issues would someday drive Harris and I apart and I can't let that happen.

"Yeah you should, when are you going to understand that you're the person I'm in love with? the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, I would never do something that could possibly hurt you in anyway.. I love you too much for that." He said, making my heart melt with every single word he said but also making me feel bad for not trusting him.

"I'm so sorry." I said again, tears stinging the back of my eyes. I hated myself at this moment. How could I do that?

"So anyway it doesn't matter, I somehow understand why you did it. I would honestly do the same." He smiled and leaned in, gently pressing his lips against my cheek.

I smiled back at him as the stinging feeling went away.

"Okay so, surprise." He said swinging his hands in a jazzy way.

I chuckled at his movement.

"Lemme see." I replied taking the phone from him.

He sat down a bit closer and started stroking my arm as I was looking at the pictures.

"Wtf Harris?!" I said surprised.

"It's a freaking mansion!" I shouted quietly. I wasn't really shouting, I was more like whispering on a high volume.

"You deserve a nice place to stay at babe, you actually deserve way bigger."

"You also deserve much better." I responded, eyes still glued on the phone.

He chuckled.

"Something we both agree on I guess."

Harris took the phone from my hands and placed it down on his bedside table. He turned my head with his fingers and started kissing me.

..

"You look happy." I said when Saïd came out of his room.

It was a Sunday afternoon. Saïd was going out with who knows who and Harris was out getting some food.

We're maybe moving out next week. Harris and I talked to his friend and she told us that the house is ours if we want to. We will view it first before confirming it though. That's what we'll be doing after work tomorrow. I'm so excited for this new chapter.

"Shut up." Saïd responded, still with a smile on his face.

"I bet you're gonna see Flora." I teased.

He rolled his eyes and tried to change the subject. "Are you okay by the way? I heard you throw up this morning." He asked.

"Don't change the subject bro, are you seeing Flora?"

"No and does Harris know you threw up?"

"No and where are you going with Flora?"

"None of your business." He responded.

"So you're gonna meet her?" I smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nope" He replied once again.

He grabbed his leather jacket and was about to head out.

"Have fun with Flora" I shouted.

"Have fun with the kid inside you, you're obviously pregnant." He shouted back.

Wait what?

"What?" I shouted again.

"You look pale and threw up, I would take a pregnancy test if I were you."

"Saïd stop this isn't funny."

"Who's laughing?" He asked with a serious expression on his face

"Just take the test and thank me later."

"I don't believe you didn't notice yourself. This coming from a man is not very common, you should appreciate me more.. Bye!" He rambled and closed the door behind him.

I'm not pregnant?

I didn't stop taking the pill and I had my period recently.. I think.

I unlocked my phone and checked when I had my period. I had this app that exactly showed me when I was going to get my period.

"No this can't be true." I whispered.

I was 2 weeks late. Me having my period felt like yesterday.

Shoot, what am I going to do?

Right at that moment, Harris walked in.

"Is Saïd on his date?" Harris asked when he got in and placed everything on the counter

"Yeah" I responded, with my head not entirely in the conversation.

"So we have the place to ourself again?" Harris smirked as he walked in closer.

"I'm not in the mood babe." I said gently pushing him aside.

I took out the food and placed everything on plates.

"Is something wrong?" Harris asked with a worried tone in his voice.

"Nah, just hungry." I replied.

"Right okay, let's eat then." he said and gave me a hand.

All this time I was thinking of how hard I messed up. I wasn't ready for a kid and neither was Harris. We only got married recently, whe weren't ready for a third person to come into our lives -4th if you count Saïd with.

Maybe I wasn't even pregnant and was my period just extremely late. There's only one way I can figure this out and that's by taking a pregnancy test.

Flora's POV

"Who was that?" Saïd asked.

We were going out for diner when a guy gave me a weird look and whispered something. Saïd noticed so he asked after it. I didn't completely understand the guy, but I do know how to connect words. He said, 'You- watching-out', at least that's what I've heard. I'm sure he meant, 'You should watch out'.

I also received some threatening messages the past few days. I know that people were still looking for me, but it never went further then threats so I'm taking that one risk to finally be happy.

"I don't know, I've never seen him before." I responded. Which was mostly true, I heard the things he said before, but I didn't know the guy.

"Hmm okay." I could hear in his voice that he wasn't believing me at all. Saïd's a smart guy, he'll notice something is wrong. I wanted to tell Aliah about it the other day, but that's when Saïd walked in. I like Saïd, I really do but I don't know if I deserve to be happy.

Not in the way I'm risking everyone's life.
