Abbey POV
Henry left early and I decided to stay in bed. I can’t be bothered to get up this early. Last night is still playing up in my head and I can’t believe how rude Harry Payne is. I guess money isn’t everything after all. Money can’t buy manners and he is lacking some. I have to admit that Henry looks a lot like his father.
My phone starts to ring and I pickup seeing that is dad.
“Hey kiddo, how are you?”, dad asks as soon as I answer the phone.
“Hey dad, I’m fine, how are you? And mum?”, I ask returning the conversation to him.
Dad tells me that they are doing well and they miss me very much. I agree to go home next weekend as it is bank holiday and I can go Friday after class and come back Monday after lunch and I won’t miss any classes. Dad asks me if I want him to se
Let me know what you think
Henry POV“Now, are you going to tell me why you’re behaving like a jealous boyfriend?”, Abbey asks as I look into her eyes, I can see she is hiding something from me, but I know she didn’t cheat on me, or so I hope.“Because I am your jealous boyfriend”, I tell her taking her lips on mine and pulling her to the bed. I pull her towel away from her body and I try to push away all the uncertainty and all of my dad’s words. I don’t want to think about him, especially now that I have my girl in bed under me, moaning my name as I suck on her neck and pass my hands through her naked body.We make love for hours, I devour her body as if it was the last time I would be touching her. I take her in as if I would never see her again, I mark her body with my lips and she scratches my back, we desire each other and no one can say otherwise, I can feel her heart beating fast as I
Henry POVIt’s been three days since I jumped at Richie. I have been avoiding him, I m staying at Abbey’s house. I don’t want to face him. I know what I did was a dick move, but I really thought he had fallen for my girl. I thought he was going to tell me that he wanted her, and that I was gonna have to back off. I really hate that my dad has gotten into my brain like that. I haven’t decided what I am going to do right now. But he is already cutting me off. He cancelled two of my credit cards. I have been avoiding him as well. I can’t leave Abbey. She is the only real good thing in my life. She knows the real me and with her I don’t have to pretend to be the all mighty Henry Payne, I don’t have to pretend to be a player, I don’t have to pretend to be someone else, she likes me for me.“Hey, are you okay?”, Abbey asks me leaning on her elbow to l
Abbey POV“I need you to listen to me very carefully, and I need you to let me speak without interrupting me”, Freaking hell, is he going to ask me to marry him? Of course not, but why is he being so serious? I nod my head in agreement.“If I go with you, to meet your parents, they will freak out, and trust me, it won’t be pretty, the same way that it wasn’t with my dad. You see, your dad was my dad’s best friend”, I think my mind just exploded when he said that my dad was his dad’s best friend. Is this some kind of a joke? It has to be. Hope grows in me that everything will be okay, that Harry Payne will start to be nicer to me.“No, baby, was being the imperative word here”, Henry lets out and all hope in me is gone. What the hell happened.“What happened?”, I ask and H
Henry POVAs we arrive I am shocked with how big the house is. Dad never mentioned how much money Devin had, so I didn’t really know what to expect and Abbey doesn’t really show off how much money she’s got. She’s a simple girl and that’s what I love about her. Love? Shit. I am seriously in love with this girl.Abbey is hugging Alice and then she looks at me, and when she sees me both her hands cover her mouth and I can’t help but offer a small smile. I don’t really remember a lot about Alice. I just know what my mum and dad told me. Abbey looks at me and I can see her eyes tearing up and so are Alice’s.“Henry?”, she asks not really sure if she is really seeing me or if she is dreaming. I give her a small nod and she walks to me cradling my face between her soft small hands.“You look so beautiful”, Alice says as she t
Abbey POVI kiss Henry goodnight, still not believing my dad is keeping us in separate rooms. He can be so old school sometimes. I bet he never slept away from mum. I take a deep breath as I close the bedroom door and flop on the bed in frustration. I grab my pillow and let out a loud growl onto it. The sound is muffed but makes me feel a lot better. I roll to my side, contemplating getting up and marching to Henry’s room right now soon after I put the idea in the back of my head.I get up and get myself ready for bed. I might be able to sneak out in the middle of the night and go give Henry the time of his life. I can’t deny it. This is a turn on. The fact we could get caught. The forbidden. I guess that’s what people find so attractive with outdoor sex or public place sex. The rush, the adrenaline. The possibility of getting caught.I go to bed a
Henry POVI open my eyes as soon as I hear a door slam opened. I sit on the bed with Abbey next to me while she hugs the sheets covering her body. I am a little disoriented but when I look around I see a really pissed off Devin and Alice. Shit. I pull the sheets a little bit higher on my waist covering my naked body as Abbey does the same. She looks petrified as Devin walks to me and pulls me by my arm out of the bed. Alice gasps and turns around as Abbey wraps the sheet around her body and starts calling for Devin to let go of me. Luckily I am wearing my boxer shorts.Devin pulls me out of the room telling Abbey to stay inside. Shit. I know its fucked up, but I can’t stay away from her. Devin pulls me into my room and I don’t fight back, he throws me onto the bed and I fall back. I quickly sit back up as he is pacing around in front of me, his eyes gone dark and his face gone annoyed. I am i
Henry POV“You must have some questions”, Alice breaks the silence and caught my attention.“I do”, Abbey says and I nod my head in agreement.Devin takes a deep breath and has a sip of his coffee while Alice hugs her mug in her hands.“Mum, tells us the story from the beginning please”, Abbey says and I look at Alice that looks at Devin as if asking for support. He squeezes her knee lightly and Alice takes a deep breath.“Did your dad ever told you how we met?”, Alice asks looking at me and I shake my head. He probably did, but he probably made some lie.“I was an escort”, Alice starts and I open my mouth in shock. I would’ve never thought that Alice was an escort. She is such a posh lady.Abbey opens her mouth as to speak and Alice cuts her off.“This is a part of my life that I don’t like to remember, but because of it, it brought
Abbey POVToday is Henry’s birthday, and I haven’t talked to him yet. It’s only ten in the morning, but I have Richie already here cuddling up to Roxy as we talk about the party. Richie has been spending all of his spare time here. He and Henry spend more time here than in their own house, and I even say they are our new roommates. Penelope keeps moaning that she doesn’t want them around anymore. She says our bills are going up, and she can’t afford to spend more money. We get that, so we offered to pay the extra, but she still moans.In the last couple of weeks, Penelope has been trying to pick up arguments and fights with everyone. Something is going on with her, but she is not willing to tell us. Because of their behaviour against the boys and the way she is treating us, we decided to leave her out of organising the party. She is invited but not organising it.“So, how about catering?” Roxy asks as I
Henry POV Today is our wedding day. It’s been four years since I proposed to Abbey and she said yes. A lot has happened sine then. We have grown up a lot together, we have been enjoying life together while she finished university and we ended up moving to London, Abbey found an amazing job opportunity there and I dropped everything to follow her. Luckily the company I work for has a company in London and I was sent there. I honestly can’t believe how perfect our life is. I am extremely nervous to see her as I stand here at the altar. We are having a small ceremony as we didn’t want anything big. From my family only mum, my brother and their plus ones were invited. I made sure to leave the Payne behind and I don’t care for any of them, If they find out I got married is their problem. Since everything that happened none of them made the effort to try and contact me, and honestly I think it was for the best becaus
Abbey POV Henry graduated yesterday, and it was a memorable day, both our families together as if there was no bad blood between them. It was absolutely incredible. I can’t even believe that is happening. Roxy came along to the event, and later on, Richie appeared, and I could see they broken up. I feel bad for Richie. He was completely crazy about her, but Roxy played with his heart and Leo’s, and now she is alone. Leo found someone that didn’t want to hide him. Roxy left early, and I have to say I am extremely disappointed in her. She tried to talk to Richie, trying to get back with him, but he said no, he loved her too much for all the pain she put him through. I really don’t blame him. You probably think I am a hypocrite because I forgave Henry for everything that happened between us, but at the end of the day, our love is unique, and I have never loved anyone the way I love him, and I know he feels the same. It was a mistake, a one time mistake that he made, while Roxy
Henry POV Abbey is coming out of the hospital today and I am making sure that everything is ready for her to come home. Leo gave me the key to their house and allowed me to move in with them. I haven’t actually told Abbey yet, but my financial circumstances are a little different right now. I am not using my dad’s money and I am definitely not using his name to get away with things. I finish making the bed with fresh bedding and I look around proud of my achievement. Her room looks and smells clean, everything is tidy and I have her favourite things on hand. I even got a mini fridge to have in her room in case she wants a cold drink and to have some milk as I got a kettle to have here as well if she wants a cup of tea while I am at work. I have a part-time job at a publishing company, I just deliver mail, b ut hey, we need to start somewhere and I am going to prove myself and make my way up. After all I am a studying business and I already have some ideas tha
Abbey POV “Henry”, I let out as soon as Leo walks out of the door. My heart is beating fast, and I am extremely confused. I know I like Henry, and apparently I liked him more than I ever thought it was possible. Unfortunately I can’t remember anything. I take a deep breath as I see him walking slowly towards the bed where I am laying down. He looks so sexy that it is making my mouth water. “I don’t want you nowhere near that guy”, Henry says, and I shake my head. Even though I understand why he doesn’t want me near Harry, I have to ask him why he did it, why he made his own sun suffer so much, how could he make his son miserable? Does he only love himself? Doesn’t he care about anyone else? “Henry, please”, I say, and he shakes his head while he wraps his fingers around mine and takes my hand to his mouth. My stomach is full of butterflies, and I feel like a youn
Henry POV I open my eyes and I feel like I have slept like a baby, I can’t remember the last time I had a good night sleep like this. I take a deep breath and I stretch my arms above my head and I can hear my bedroom door opening. “How did you sleep?”, mum asks walking in with a tray and it smells so good that makes my mouth get full of saliva. “Like a baby, thanks for last night mum”, I say as she places the tray on my legs after I sit up on the bed. Mum kisses the top of my head and assures me that that’s what mum’s do. If it is or not I am extremely grateful that she spent the night here giving me cuddles and strength to move on with my life and forget the hell my dad put me and Abbey through. “Come on, have something to eat and then have a shower, you have a girlfriend to go visit”, mum says as she walks out of the room. I look at the tray and smile. She made me a bacon sandwich with brown sauce, orange juice and coffee. She really does know me. A
Abbey POV "Mum, please stop crying. I am fine", I let out, but she kept caressing my cheeks and looking at me as if she would never be able to look at me again. "Do you need anything", Dad asks kissing the top of my head as soon as he walks back into the room. I look at the door, but Henry doesn't follow him. "Where's Henry?" I ask, and dad looks back at the closed door. "He was gonna make some phone calls, and then he will be here", Dad replies, and I look at the door. I don't know why I have this horrible feeling he shouldn't be outside. He needs to be next to me. I know we have only just started dating, and we don\t really know each other, but I can't think straight being away from him. Mum and dad stand next to me when I ask them again what happened, but they keep giving me vague answers, as in I was in a car crash. I try and remember why I would've been in a car, but I really can't, making me stressed. "Thank god
Henry POV “Hey”, he says and I am not willing to talk. I pull him into the room and lock the door behind me. “Henry, mate, so glad to see you’re okay”, Alex let out and I can’t help but punch him in his face. Alex falls back on his ass and his nose starts blurting out blood straight away. “Hey, get up”, I say and he looks at me while he is holding his nose with both of his hands. “You broke my nose”, he spits out “You’re lucky if that’s the only thing I am breaking today”, I let out while I pull him up by his t-shirt. I shove him against the wall and his eyes are wide up. “Fight me you coward”, I shout in his face. “I am not fighting you”, Alex says trying to walk past me but I punch him on his side straight into his ribs making him bend over and fall on his knees on the floor. “Fuck you”, I let out. “Henry, mate”, Alex says as he coughs. “I am not your mate, I am your worst nightmare”, I say lif
Henry POV “Oh, thank fuck, you’re awake”, I let out as soon as Abbey’s eyes open. I have never been so happy to look into those beautiful eyes. “What happened?”, She whispers, and I can’t help but let a tear escape my eyes. It’s not my place to explain to Abbey what happened, and I feel guilty as it is for her having to go through what she did with my dad, and I wasn’t there to protect her. I tell her I will go get the nurse and her parents, and she doesn’t protest about it. As they all chat, I keep my distance, but I keep my eyes on Abbey. I don’t think I will ever be able to get away from her, and I want to be next to her for the rest of my life. These last couple of days have been hell for me. Being awake and not being able to do anything to bring her back to me was slowly driving me insane. The doctor asks us to leave, and I don’t want to, but Devin gives me a small nod, and I follow him out. He has been through hell, and you can see on his face.
Abbey POV I open my eyes, and my head is aching, making it worse with the light. I shut them straight away, and I rub my head. Slowly I open my eyes, and I can see Henry sitting next to me with his hands on his head. I look around, and I don’t recognise the room I am in. It’s all white and bright. Where am I? “Oh, thank fuck you’re awake”, I hear Henry say, and I look at him. Worry is plastered all over his face, and his beautiful blue eyes look tired. He has dark circles around them as he holds my hand tightly between his. “What happened?” I ask Henry, that has now a tear rolling down his cheek. “I’ll go get the nurse and your parents”, Henry says, giving my hand a slight squeeze. I nod slightly, but it sends pain shooting up my head. I start to feel dizzy and like I am about to throw up. The nurse walks in as soon as Henry presses the nurse button, and she smiles, looking at me. “Hello Abbey, how are you feeling?”, She asks as she st
