May POV

It's been two days since the whole "don't rummage through my stuff" fiasco.

When he left for work the following morning after that night, I looked through his top drawer and found nothing.

I know he was hiding something that he doesn't want me to find.

He must've moved it.

Like always, he just moves past it and keeps being him. Whatever him is now a days.

"I need to ask you something." Harry asks as I wash the dishes piled in the sink.

"What is it?" I ask tiredly. I'm exhausted. I spent all night writing my book to email it to Matt by today. It's probably shit but it's whatever.

"Tonight I have like a business dinner thing and I wanted to know if you wanted to go."

"Is it fancy?"

"Yes." His voice soft. I bite my lip.

"I don't own anything fancy." I huff. I only own the dresses I wore to Harry's parents Christmas parties over the years.

"You can go to the store and pick a dress up today if you'd like. Or wear one of your current dresses." I bite my lip. "You'll look fine either way. I just want you to go with me."

"What type of uh dinner is it? Like what type of dress should I get?"

"Something nice but nothing too fancy. It's casual but not." I nod. He kisses the side of my head. "Thank you." I don't respond. "I'll uh finish the dishes." I look at him weirdly and dry my hands with the dish towel beside me.

"O-okay." I bite my lip. The doorbell rings and my eyebrows furrow. "I'll get it." I walk over to the door and open it.

Why didn't I look through the peep hole first?

I see Sadie and my niece. "Aunt May!" Bell says with a wide smile. Her arms reach out to me and I take her out of Sadie's arms.

"Hey angel. How are you doing?" I kiss her cheeks.

"Good." She says with a smile against me.

"Hey Sadie." I say to her. She chuckles.

"Hello. We're in the area, I figured we should drop by."

"I'm glad you did." I say with a soft grin.

Bell is 3 now. She just turned it last month. It's hard to believe.

Soon Harry appears behind us. "Wow you look old." Sadie remarks to him.

"Funny." They hug.

"Why are you guys always moving?" I chuckle.

"We're redoing the house." I look back to Bell who's playing with my hair.

They start to talk and I start talking with my niece. "How's it being three?"

"I feel super old." I chuckle. She has bright blue eyes like Sadie and her small dimples. Bell has Tom's nose though. Her hair is a golden brown which is a mixture of both of her parents hairs.

"You should. You're almost my age." I say with a soft grin. Bell giggles and rests her head on the crook of my neck.

"Sadie can I kidnap your daughter for the afternoon?"

"Sure." She laughs. "Where are ya taking her?"

"I gotta get a dress for tonight, I figured I'll take her with me. You know for that aunt bonding stuff."

"Hm, sounds lovely. Here take my car, it has her seat." I grab her keys.

"I'll be back around four? I'll text you."

"Okay. Have fun darling." Sadie kisses her daughters cheeks.

We soon leave the apartment. Bell holds my hand as we walk into the elevator.

"You're getting a dress?" She asks me. Her blue eyes look up at me.

"Sadly so. You're gonna help me."

"Sweet." I ruffle her hair.

We walk out of the elevator and leave the building. Barry is holding the door open for us.

"Thank you." Bell says to him.

"Of course Ms." She grins. "Ms. Evans I didn't know you had a daughter."

"Oh, no this is my niece Bell."

"Hi." She greets happily.

"Hello. You must be lucky to have an Aunt as nice as May, huh?" She nods.

"She's fun." I smile gently.

"I bet. Have a wonderful afternoon ladies."

"As yourself Sir." I reply back kindly.

"I like that one." Bell says while pointing to the red dress. I tilt my head.

"You do?" She nods.

"It's bright and cute."

"Should I try it on?"

"Yes. I think you'll look super pretty." I mess her hair up and grin.

We walk to the dressing rooms. "See those chairs there?" I point to the ones across the room. She nods. "Can you sit there for me as I change?"

"Will you show me the dress on you?"

"Of course. I need your opinion." Bell smiles and sits down. I go into the stall across from her and quickly change.

Once the dress it on me I debate whether or not I like it on me. It falls to my mid thigh.

I open the stall door and see Bell in her chair still.

"What do you think?"

"I love it. You look pretty Aunt May. I think Uncle Harry will love it too." I bite my lip and smile gently.

"Thank you sweetie. I'll put back on my regular clothes, then we'll go shopping for you, yeah?"

"Really?" Her blue eyes widen.

"Of course. I always spoil you when you visit." She grins. I walk back into my dressing stall and change back into my jeans.

***

"Do you think Mommy will be curious to why we have so many bags?" She asks as we sit in McDonalds.

"Probably. But every girl needs a lot of pretty clothes." Bell smiles to herself.

"Are you and Uncle Harry getting married?"

"He hasn't proposed so, no." I laugh.

"Why not?" She sips her milkshake.

"I'm not sure." I say. I dip my fry in my shake and she does the same with her's. Doesn't that taste good?" Bell nods with a grin.

"Who told you that was a good combo?" My niece asks curiously while putting a fry in her mouth.

"My uh Dad." I bite my lip.

"Grandpa?" I nod. "That's cool." She smiles to herself. "Why don't you and Uncle Harry ever come over Grandpa's house for family dinners?"

"My uh Mom and I don't get along very well." I sip my milkshake.

"You and grandma?" Her eyes widen and I chuckle gently. "But she's so nice."

"She can be." I say. I wanted to say she can be nice to people besides me. I haven't talked to her in years. I email my father every once in a while but I haven't seen him in months.

"I think it would be nice to see you at dinner. I could see you more."

"Well, you live 20 minutes away. Tell your Mom or Dad to drop you off more." Sadie is still in college to become a nurse, right now she's an intern or something. Tom, Bell's Dad is an accountant.

"I will." I smile at her. She licks her lips. "Thank you for today Aunt May."

"Of course darling." I say.

"Are you and Uncle Harry going to have kids? I think they'll be cute."

"Maybe in the future." I reply. "Let's first take it one step at a time, yeah?"

"Yes, first you guys need to get married." I laugh.
