Chapter 54
**** HARRISON P. O. V ****
I went to Nina’s house and saw her working in the kitchen. I closed the door, and I could hear her talking from the kitchen.
She said, “Dave, you got back so early,” and I crept over to where she was. She had her back to me, but I’m sure she saw me.
She was stirring whatever was in the pot while whistling.
I got behind her and wrapped my hands around her waist, which scared her and made her jump.
She turned to look at me and said, “Oh my, you scared the crap out of me.” I smiled and kissed her lips.
I told her, “Your butts actually hit mine in the process,” and she hit me in a playful way.
She said to the pot, “Stop acting like the bad guy because you’re not.”
“Ouch, that was mean. After the way I treated you in bed, I don’t think you’ll still think of me as a good boy,” I said, looking at her shoulders. She turned red.
She asked, “How was where you went?” I sighed, put my head on her shoulders, and wrapped my hands around her waist again.
“As always,” I told her, and she smiled.
She looked at me and said, “Tell me.” Then she turned off the stove.
I told her, “There’s nothing important to say. I saw Gracie, we said hello, and that’s it.” She narrowed her eyes.
She asked, “So Jason let you get close to her? Is it that easy to get along with an Emerson brother?”
“He didn’t have a choice. We were both happy to see each other, and Jason was busy torturing the woman that her brother took the head of their mother with Ryan,” I said, moving my hands up and down to show how stressful it was to explain.
She asked, “So you had time to talk, right?” I said yes. And at that moment, I saw that her face was full of envy.
“Nina,” I said as I held her arm and rubbed it.
I told her, “I love you. You don’t need to be jealous of Melina.” She sighed and nodded.
She said, “I just can’t stop because I know how much you care about her.” I smiled.
“I love you the most,” I told her.
She asked, “Can you prove it?” I arched my brows and said, “Yes.”
“Of course I can,” I told her, “what do you want me to do?” She smiled and shook her head.
She hugged me tight and said, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” I hugged her back and kissed her head.
“Hey.” Dave said making us stop.
“Hey, Dave!” we all said with smiles.
He told me, “You got back early,” and I laughed.
I told him, “I told you I’d be back. I love and care about your sister, and you can see that now.” He shook his head.
He said, “I’m not sure yet,” and I sighed.
“That’s enough, guys. The food is ready. Let’s eat,” she said, and we nodded.
I said as I left the kitchen, “That’s a great idea.” Then my phone buzzed, and I took it out to see that Melina was calling.
# Hey
# Hey. How do you feel?
# I am good. You?
# Fine. Have you gotten home?
# Yes, I’ve been looking at the kitchen
# I’m sorry I couldn’t say goodbye to you. At the time, Jason needed me, so I had to be there for him.
# This is what we want, Gracie. I am not angry.
# And Nina? Where is she? And I hope she’s not still angry with me? Sadly
# Absolutely not. Nina has completely forgotten about that, it happened a long time ago, okay? Cheer up.
# I’m glad to hear that Harrison is doing well. In fact, I called to ask you to come to the funeral. I care about you being there.
# I don’t think the Emerson Brothers will want me there that day. We’re not alone.
# He isn’t Harrison. He doesn’t dislike you. He has gone back to the way he was before. He would be happy to see you there.
# Oh. Alright. What time is it?
# Within the next 3 days.
Hears someone talk below him.
“Your turn, Miss Melina”
# What are you doing? asks with worry.
# What? What are you doing in that place?
# To run some tests. I am okay Jason, don’t get worried.
# I should, of course. I don’t know why you are in the hospital.
# Jason, believe me. You should stay with Nina because I’m fine. She wants you, but you’ve been gone since the morning. We’ll talk again soon.
She hung up, and I just looked at my phone. I didn’t know what to do at all.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Nina asked as she carried the dish, “Going somewhere?” I told her I wasn’t going anywhere.
I replied with a forced smile, “Not at all.”
**** MELINA P. O. V ****
Agnes asked, “Doctor, what do you have for my friend?” He moved an envelope over to us.
He said, “Here are the results of your tests.” I reached for it and started to open it.
He asked, “Can I ask you something?” I said yes.
I quickly said, “Yes, of course.”
He asked, “Have you been having any problems lately, like depression, a lot of thinking, or stress?” I sighed.
I said, “Yes, I’ve been so stressed out lately,” and he sighed.
He told me, “Miss Melina, you need to get a lot of rest. You have high blood pressure, which isn’t good for you now that you’re pregnant.” When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat.
“Pardon. What did you say?” I asked looking at Agnes.
He told me, “Miss Melina, you’re three weeks pregnant. Congratulations,” and I laughed and cried at the same time. I’m sure they were tears of happiness and surprise.
Agnes gave me a hug and said, “Oh, my baby, I am so happy for you.” I laughed happily.
“But please, if you don’t get enough rest, that child will be in danger. It won’t be nice at all,” he said, and I nodded in a sad way.
I said, “I’ll do my best, but I’ve never seen any signs of high blood pressure.”
He told me, “It’s in the early stages now. If you add more stress, it will get worse.”
I said, “Thanks, Doctor,” and he nodded.
He said, “Congratulations again,” as we got up and left the office.
