All Chapters of Accidentally All of Me: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

RainaI leaned up against my truck and waited, a little nervousness flooding around my system. I didn’t know how this was going to go, but I knew this was going to be a make-or-break date, and I wanted to do everything I could to ensure that it ran as smoothly as it possibly could.I hadn’t been sure about suggesting something like this to him. I had thought that he might shoot me down in favor of something more traditional. But he had agreed as soon as I had suggested it—as long as he could bring Winnie along with him, of course. I told him that the more hands we had on deck, the better, and I had been able to hear his smile even from the other end of the line.I was picking them up in my truck, and it looked a little out of place outside the nice house that they stayed in. The truck seriously needed an upgrade, though I was in no rush to get one. I had had her for years now, and it would have felt odd carrying out my job in anything else.I smiled and waved them down as soon as I sa

HarryAs soon as I got to work, I noticed something out of place on my desk, a giant envelope with a large gold trim around the edge, with my name written upon it in flashy text. I picked it up, flipped it over in my hands, and furrowed my brow as I tried to figure out what this was.Tearing it open, I grinned widely as soon as I saw what was on the inside. It was an invitation. An invitation to the biggest charity ball of the year, Portland’s most enormous bash for the rich and famous. And it looked like I had been invited.I scanned the thick parchment in front of me and couldn’t help but wonder just how much it had cost for them to put this amount of effort into something that was meant to be charitable, but I swiftly dismissed that. I was one of six local celebrities who had been asked to come along and feature, and I got to choose a local charity that the money would go toward.And I didn’t even have to think twice about where I wanted it to go.I headed through to the breakroom

RainaI scanned my gaze back and forth over the people in the crowd in front of me. Was she amongst them? I couldn’t tell. Harry had told me to look out for a pixie-cut blonde with green eyes, and I couldn’t see anyone fitting that description.Maybe I was just too nervous to take in what was in front of me in a serious way. I was so nervous about the thought of meeting the woman he classed as his best friend, so nervous that I was going to do or say something really stupid that would give my lack of class away to her.A hand landed on my shoulder, and I practically jumped out of my skin. I turned around, half-expecting to see a security guard who had noticed how strangely I had been acting and wanted to check just what I was doing around here. But instead, I found myself looking at the woman who just had to be Yara.“Hey,” Yara said with a smile. “Sorry to sneak up on you like that. You’re Raina, right?”“Yeah, that’s me,” I replied. “And you must be Yara?”“So I’m told,” she replied

HarryI left work with Tink in the backseat and headed over to pick up Winnie from school. I had a lot to take care of today, and I wanted to make sure that I stayed on top of every moment of it.Winnie rolled into the backseat of the car, petted Tink hello, and then turned her attention to me.“Is it still okay for Julie to come around tonight?” she asked.I nodded at her at once. “Of course it is,” I promised her. “I just need to stop off and pick up some food first, okay? What time are her parents dropping her off?”“At five,” she replied, and she laid her head down next to Tink and nuzzled her nose against his. He snuffled at her happily, and I smiled at the two of them in the mirror. They were the perfect pair, the two of them, and I knew that getting him had been one of the best things I had ever done for Winnie.I dropped the two of them off at home, ordered a pizza, and headed out to pick it up. The pizza place was just around the corner so I wasn’t stressed about leaving them

Raina“Okay, buddy, you need to back off.” I laughed at my brother over the phone. I knew that he had to try his luck—this was Reed I was talking about, after all—but I was getting to the point where I felt like I had to lay down the law.“But I really want to meet this guy,” Reed protested. “Come on. It would be so good for me to actually get to know the guy you’re dating, don’t you think?”“And I’m sure you’d be just as interested if he was a garbage collector,” I pointed out.Reed had been pressing for me to bring Harry along to the family dinner that we were having that evening, and nothing that I said seemed to be throwing him off the scent. I knew it wasn’t time, not yet, and I knew with even more certainty that my brother’s reasons for wanting to meet Harry were far from pure and innocent.Reed liked to be in the know. That was sort of his whole thing, what with the clients he worked with and the work that he did. Every chance he got to wrap his head around the state of the upp
