All Chapters of Mira’s Return : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Harry’s POV. As soon as Kaira walked out, I felt like going after her but Gerald stopped me. “Harry, your girlfriend is very shy”. I was old enough to know when Gerald pulled my legs. He chuckled and kept staring at me like he was trying to get the truth out of me. “She is not my girlfriend “, I defended softly. I was least concerned about his torments. I cared about Kaira. She was extremely sweet and beautiful this morning. I didn’t expect a loud mouth like her to be bullied by Gerald’s presence. She immediately ran out of breath as soon as she stepped inside his office. Kaira was shaking as I held her shoulder. “Stop denying this man! I see how you care about her. I mean she is pretty too and she is the first woman you have ever held so close”. Gerald kept teasing but I wasn’t in the mood to batter. “I am not lying. Stop dragging this. She is just an acquaintance who I felt pity for. Leave me alone”, I hissed and tossed myself on his couch. Gerald was not

This was very strange to me. I have never heard him laugh wholeheartedly. Mockingly? Yes I have. “You are quite excited to go home. Is it that scary here?” He extended his briefcase. I held his briefcase as I walked behind him to the elevator. His question, I didn’t bother to answer. We got to the garage and I extended his briefcase to his driver. I was patiently waiting for him to get in the car before I left. I didn’t know why I thought so but I guessed courtesy demanded it. “Get in the car Kaira, your boyfriend wouldn’t be picking you up. You should know this. He is a restless bird on Mondays”. Gerald spoke with so much conviction as he entered the car. My ears are still tingling from what I just heard. “Boyfriend? Get in the car?”. The driver grew impatient and banged on the horn twice. It was the sound that brought me back from wonderland. I got inside the car and placed my bag in between Gerald and I. I almost leaned on the door. My heart was racing again. T

Harry was on the phone for over an hour and I got bored. I laid on the couch and dozed off. I woke up to a soft patter on my face. “I am sorry, it was work”. He apologized sincerely. I got up and yawned. “It’s ok Harry”. I smiled. “Can I use your restroom please?” I asked to get up from the couch. Harry held my hand like I would get lost and took me to a room I guess was the guest room. It was plain but neat and comfortable enough for anyone. He sat on the bed ignoring the arm chairs and sofa as I walked to the bathroom. I pulled my skirt down and emptied my bladder. I washed my hands after and adjusted my top. I was wearing a pink top with a gray jean skirt that was resting above my knees. I fixed my hair and walked out to meet him on his phone. “What should we do now? If we go for our drive now, it won’t be that relaxing. It’s still a busy day in Free city”, he said without raising his head from his phone. I sat next to him and also thought of what we could d

I woke up late the next morning and it was the happiest Sunday since I got to Free city. I woke up feeling fly. I was happy for absolutely no reason. I headed out for breakfast and stopped at a boutique because a dress caught my attention. I got two dresses for work and took a walk home. “Hi beautiful lady, are you heading my way?” I totally ignored the words from a driver I didn’t even know and tried to walk faster. It was five seconds later I recognized the voice. ‘Oh no’. I took off my sunglasses and turned around to see who it was. He whined down his window and gave me the brightest smile. “Are you heading my way, miss?” Harry asked again. I was short of reaction. I couldn’t help it, as soon as he got down from the car, I threw my hands around him. “Hi baby”, he spinned me around and gave me a kiss. We were attracting onlookers and passersby. He took my shopping bag and helped me to the car. This was a different car entirely. It was the first t

Harry’s POV. As soon as we got inside my apartment, I let go of her hand. She looked away from me and leaned on the wall. Her sudden mood swing was the subject matter. The moment she saw Gerald in the hallway, her mood changed. Her smiles were fake, her eyes were dimmed and her hands were folded. Those were things she did when she was nervous about something. Our drive home was the longest in my life. There were no words or anything related to her. The only time she spoke was when she noticed we were driving to my place. As I took off my cufflinks and tie, Beverly walked up to me snuggling at my feet. “Hi mama, how are you?” I bent down to pick her up. I walked to my bedroom and took off my clothes. I freshened up and laid on my bed with Beverly. As soon as I closed my eyes, it occurred to me that Kaira was in the sitting room. I got out of bed with my lounge wear and walked to the sitting room. I met Kaira sitting and scrolling through her phone. She looke
