Alice POV I have gone back to work as normal and as usual, I am avoiding Dave. I need to find a new job. He has been implacable. He texts and calls me every day asking for forgiveness and for another chance. I don’t want to give him another chance to crush my heart. I told Pat everything that happened between me and Harry and she surprised me. She said I should go after him. I should follow my heart and be happy. She says I have been depriving myself of love for a long time and she’s never seen me look at Dave the way I look at Harry. She is absolutely right. So I made up my mind. I am going to call him as soon as I finish my shift and I’m gonna ask him out on a date. We never really date before. Everything happened too fast and I want to get to

Harry POV   I wake up and I blink my eyes trying to figure out where I am and that’s when I feel hands on my stomach. Alice. I look down and she is hugging my body while she sleeps in my arms. I smile at the sight of her sleeping next to me. I’ve wanted this for so long and finally, I’ve got it. I still need to sort out things with Rita. After last night there’s no backing away from Alice. I wouldn’t be able to be happy without her. Not after hearing her say she loves me back. I just can’t. But I need to be smart about this. I need to be calm with Rita because if she is really pregnant I am going to be leaving my pregnant wife. The press is gonna have a blast with it. So I n

Alice POV“I’ll see you Monday” - I say to one of my colleagues. I walk into the changing room and opened my locker to find a white envelope addressed to me.I turn it around but there’s nothing. Just my name. I rip it opened and a small piece of paper comes out.I turn it around and I gasp when I see what's written.I fold the paper and shove it in my backpack. I clear a small tear with the back of my hand and I change my clothes fast. Harry is picking me up so we can go have dinner with Devin and his new girlfriend. I brush my hair back into a high ponyta

Alice POV   I have been working the day shift lately. I honestly don’t care if I see Dave anymore. The Cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows I am Harry Payne’s girlfriend. Rita made sure to trash talk me to the press. I was told Dave is away on holidays on a hot country somewhere.  Good for him. He never took holidays before. The day shift is better so I can actually see Harry more often. I’m always finished by eight o’clock and he usually meets me outside of the hospital and then we have some dinner and wine. We indulge in each other’s company. It is everything I always thought it would be. He is sweet and caring. He makes me his high priority. Since that shit show in the restaurant the press has been following me around and my life became a bloody nightm

Alice POVI open my eyes and I am hit by a horrible headache. I close my eyes again and I start massaging my temples. This is what happens when we spend a long time crying. I sit on the bed and I see that it’s light outside. I grab my phone to check the time and it’s almost seven in the morning. I lift my arms stretching and get up. I walk to the bathroom still rubbing my eyes and I am hit by a cloud of steam. What the fuck? I look around and I see Harry standing in the front room wrapped with a towel around his waist. His chest still wet with some water rubbing down his back. His every move makes his perfect muscles back move in a hypothetical way. I shake my head and cross my arms in front of my chest while I rest against the door frame.
