Chapter 36

I listened to Quinn and Kevin's love story as to how they fell each other. The time went fast than I could imagine. Their love story was so cute. It was started with jealousy and ended with affection. "Can I ask you one question?" I asked nervously fidgeting my finger. "Go ahead." Quinn smiled at me. "Where are you guys from?" I asked but regretted later once I saw their blank expression. Harry veered around in his seat where there was a shock on Quinn's eyes and she looked at Harry like he committed some kind of criminal activities. "Argghh... I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. No need to answer my question. I just asked out of curiosity." "No, it's not a big deal, Sheila. You have the right to know. We are from New York and I don't know you were not aware of that." Said Quinn and I nodded my head as a comprehension. "Shall we eat," Quinn asked while glancing at her wristwatch. "Okay, I will buy some food." With that Kevin left the living room. Harry's POV: When she asked that question, I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. I feel guilty for not telling her the truth. She has to know about everything. Quinn eyed me accusingly like I had committed a murder. Since it was lunchtime Kevin went to buy some food and Sheila went to her room dismissing the topic right away. If I stay here for more than a second she would have my head. So it's better to leave and when I was about to leave, Quinn grabbed my arm and I let out a frustrated sigh. I know it will happen. "What now, Quinn?" I asked her but she narrowed her eyes at me. "Can I have a talk with you?" She asked raising her one eyebrow. "Not here," I muttered and walked towards my room. Once she entered my room she slammed my door and began to yell at me. "What the hell are you doing Harry? You didn't say anything to her, do you?" She folded both her arms and glared at me. "Quinn! I wanted to tell her everything but it's not the right time. When the time comes I will tell her." I reasoned out. Her eyes soften a bit and she came near me. "Harry, I know it's hard for you but why can't you get rid of your past. Don't you see in her eyes that how much she has a feeling for you? You both have feelings for each other." She caressed my shoulder. "Just tell her the truth. She will understand. Your past had nothing to do with your present life, Harry. Please don't start a relationship with a lie. It will affect your life, you will get hurt at the end." "I know, Quinn. I am not going to start a relationship with a lie. But I need some time. She is so innocent to take everything in one day. She needs her space and I need my time." My face darkened when the memory of my past life flashed across my mind. "As you know, a lot of girls were running behind me only for my status. They all need my money, they need a reputation in society so that they can afford a wealthy life and they used my name saying I was theirs. But the only fact is I am not theirs. I'm For Her. For her only." I shut my eyes for a while. "She made me alive when I thought I was dead for the world. She brought a new life inside me. Did you know what I did when I was told I lost my memory?" Truth to be told it was not pleasant to reminisce at all. "I screamed all the nights saying I need my memory back. I randomly threw all the stuff in my room and hurt myself. One day I even tried to cut my wrist." She gasped and her eyes widen in shock. "What are you saying?" She almost whispered. I gave her a small smile and nodded my head. "Yeah, if that night my mom hadn't shown up, I would have died now. No one knew about this, even my dad. But now everything changed." And I'm glad I'm still alive for my girl. "You know what I'm scared of getting my memory back. I don't want it. I wanted to live my life just a Harry, not a Harry John Brooks, the name provides me the status and powers." All I need is to hold my girl into my arm, forever. "But I promise you, Quinn. I will take care of everything. So just trust me." I took both her hands and held with mine. "I trust you." She nodded her head and wiped her tears. Sheila's POV: I'm walking back and forth in my room while biting my nails nervously. I shouldn't have asked that question. What if they thought I'm intruding on their privacy and taking advantage? But the thing is whenever Quinn talking about their life, his eyes showed no emotion like he has forgotten everything. Why? Doesn't he like sharing his moments with us? We had lunch in the living room but he didn't talk much. Whenever I asked some random questions just to grab his attention, he just nodded his head, didn't bother to encourage the conversation further. He replied only in his monotonic voice. And again in dinner, he didn't show up. Quinn said he already ate and went to his room. But why do I have a feeling that something was bothering him? From this afternoon he is behaving strangely. I texted him a good night and waited for his reply but only got the emptiness in both my phone and heart. --- "Hi, Lilly. Nice to meet you. Finally, he bought you here for introducing you." I told her looking at Tammy. "Hey!" A shy smile appeared on Tammy's face. "Tammy, are you blushing?" I teased. "What? No way! It's girly things, boys never do." He protested. I and Lilly exchanged the knowing look and burst into laughter. "What? It's not funny." He scolded but we continued our laughing.
