20. A Big Decision
Lily and James 👆👆❤❤
James and Lily were talking outside their house while watching the colorful flowers blooming in their beautiful garden, when a familiar car pulled over, causing them to turn their head in car's direction and came out their beloved son. They stood still, shocked. It had been too long since Harry came home and met them. They glanced at each other and then turned back in Harry's direction, watching him closing the door of the car before taking several big steps in their direction with a smile on his face. And Without saying a word, Harry launched himself in Lily's arms and hugged her tightly, like a scared child. Lily hugged him back as James patted the back of Harry with a smile.
"What a pleasant surprise, Harry?" Lily asked as soon as they broke the hug and kissed on the top of his forehead. She watched him carefully and smiled to see him fit and fine. Harry smiled to see his mom's beautiful face again after a long time and kissed her both cheeks one by one.
"I have been missing you mom. So I thought to come here and see your beautiful face." Harry said then peck her cheek softly. Lily's face was glowing to see him and now she blushed at Harry's comment. She grinned and then smack his upper right arm, playfully.
"Naughty boy. Come inside, we are about to have breakfast." Harry nodded but stood still. Harry's feet glued on the floor, refusing to go inside as his heart ached for Draco's warms arms wrapped around him, like a blanket. He wanted to go back but stopped. It had been so long since he met his mother and he missed her too. Beside he made a really difficult decision of his life which he wanted to share with James.
A light squeeze on his shoulder, stopped the train of his thoughts and Harry looked at the owner of the hand. James smiled as Harry's eyes met his then removed his hand.
"What are you thinking Harry? Lily is waiting for us." James chuckled to see Harry's confused face then nodded inside the house, towards Lily's direction, where she was talking with servants, maybe informing them about Harry's arrival.
'When did mom go away?' Harry wondered.
"Let's go Harry before she went mama hen on both of us." Harry laughed as James remind him the name, he gave to Lily whenever she got angry.
"James, Harry! Come here. What are you guys doing there?" Lily shouted from her place with irritation filled voice.
"Nothing Darling." James walked ahead then kissed Lily on lips softly to brighten her mood and it worked because she melted in his arms and smiled brightly.
A pang of jealously hit Harry's heart to see his parents showing affection to each other without the care of this world. He cursed himself for being jealous over his parents and sighed. 'They are married and could do whatever they want.' He remind himself.
He didn't know why but miss Draco's kisses and hugs, even though it's not too long since he left him but still want to wrapped around him like a cocoon. He winced as the pain shoot through his lower back when he sit down on the chair and groaned initially. 'He really did numbers on me.'
"It has been too long since we ate together." Lily point it out as one of the servants came forward, serve them breakfast one by one and stood behind them just in case they needed something.
Harry nodded his thanks then took a bite of bread sandwich and frowned at it's bad taste. 'Why it tastes so bad?' Harry asked himself.
'Because you love the food made by Draco.' His conscious answered him and he blushed. He loves the food made by Draco, even a small bite of it has a power to send him in the heavens.
Lily noticed that Harry was not eating and frowning at the sandwich with red cheeks," Is everything ok, Harry? Or do you need something else to eat?"
Breaking through his deep thoughts, Harry shook his head," No no, mom. It's good." James noticed Harry's strange behavior and thought that it might be related to their office work. He couldn't help but feel guilty, he shouldn't let him work too hard. But it's important, not only for their company but also for Harry. After all he was the only heir of their business
"Harry?"
Harry looked up from his food," Yes, dad?"
James looked in Harry's tired eyes, which he didn't notice before.,"Are you ok son?"
Harry smiled but it didn't reached his eyes. He was tired after the long nights with Draco, " I'm good dad."
"Are you sure? Your eyes are looking dull like you're too tired. Is everything ok? Are you sleeping well?" The worry in James voice was clearly showing as he asked Harry.
Harry composed his structure and smiled at James as widely as possible. He couldn't act like a spoiled child who wanted to stick around his favorite person every second, " I am good dad. Just little bit worried about contract. We worked so hard for it and I really want to win it, not because for our companies but also to prove myself that I can do it."
If Harry said those things few months ago then James would definitely laughed at him but he saw him doing his best for this project and knew that the project was so important for Harry., " Don't worry son. We are going to win it. And if we wouldn't then I'm still proud of you. You did your best for this project. And never forget that business is always full of high-low."
Harry nodded then returned back to his food. If this food made by Draco then he would definitely eat it but right now, he was just trying to swallow it.
"Umm dad?" James turned to Harry as he called him and put down his knife and fork, giving his undivided attention to him.
"Yes?"
"Um dad, I was thinking about your offer." James looked at him in confusion then suddenly remember the conversation held in his office few days ago.
Few days ago( James's office)
"Harry, would you stay behind for sometime?" Harry stopped in his track and glanced back at James.
"Yes dad." James stayed quiet till the whole conference room got empty.
"Have a seat Harry." James smiled while pointed a hand over the chair nearest to his. Harry smiled back and sat down while putting his things back on the table.
James watched him carefully, thinking about how to start the conversation without making things awkward, " So Harry, it has been too long since you came home and spend time like old days. Are you doing well?"
Harry thought about it and lowered his eyes, feeling guilty. Before he visit his parents once a week but not now, since he had been living with Draco. He couldn't even remember about it. All he do, was to complete his office word as soon as possible and drove straight to Draco's apartment.
"Hey, it's ok. I just want to spend some time with my son like old days and your mom is also worried about you." Harry moved his gaze up and tried to smile.
"Sorry Dad. I'll try to come there as soon as possible." James nodded and looked away, still thinking about to ask him about his private life. Harry saw that and felt that he had something else to say but don't know how.
"Do you want to ask me something else, dad?" James opened his mouth but closed it. After thinking for few seconds, he asked
"So, any girlfriend?" Harry's eyes widened their size at this sudden question. Everyone around him knew that he didn't have any girlfriend since his last girlfriend broke his heart.
"No dad. I don't have any." James nodded catching the bitterness in Harry's voice.
"So any boyfriend?" James asked jokingly but he meant it. He knew that Draco wanted to make Harry his and working on it but James was curious about Harry's feelings as well.
"Umm." Harry's opened his mouth but suddenly, his throat was dry, making it difficult for him to utter a single word out. How could he answered him when he was confused himself for his and Draco's relationship?
"It's ok. I just heard the *cough* sound coming out from your laptop and curious about it. Like if you have a boyfriend then i don't mind. I love you as you are." Harry couldn't help but feel even more guilty about this. He hated the fact that he had been hiding his personal life from his parents, which he never did before Draco. He always introduced every single girl, he had dated in the past to his parents. He never cared if their relationship would survive or not. He wanted to show his choice to his parents.
But his and Draco's relationship was also confusing to him. He was not sure about their feelings, mostly about Draco's. He knew that Draco had confessed about his feelings in the morning but still want test the waters. What if Draco wanted to play around with him? And left him after he get bore of him? Harry winced at the thought of Draco leaving him after getting bore.
"Harry?" A soft voice, belonging to his dad pulled him out of his deep thoughts and Harry blinked his eyes several times.
"Sorry, dad. But I don't have any. Neither a boyfriend nor a girlfriend. I was just curious and want to know about gay's relationship. Nothing special." Harry widened his lips, try to smile as wide as possible but a father could easily see though the eyes to the soul of his child and James could easily see the truth in his eyes. According to him, Harry was falling for Draco, really badly.
But what if Draco only wanted to play with his only son's heart? And left him broken like that girl did? No, I wouldn't let it happen. James turned his head from left to right, slightly shaking it to clear his mind. He didn't want to see his son, broken again.
"Umm Harry? I was thinking that it has been too long since you went out of the country and enjoy your time alone. And I have to go to the Korea. If you want then you can go there and I'll handover you, all the details related to my work there. With that you will get a time to relaxed and beside we are almost done with our project here. So what do you think?" Harry heard every word carefully and easily got the signal that James wanted him to stay alone for some time and relaxed.
"It's a great idea dad. But I don't think so. Maybe in future, but not now. I want to focus on this project and stay here till it's completion." Harry declined the offer as politely as possible. He knew that he was confused but he wanted to know about Draco's feelings also.
James sighed softly, feeling rejected from Harry's answer. "Ok, but think about it. If you want to go then let me know. Ok? "
"Ok, dad." Harry smiled and stood up on his feet.," I have to go now Dad."
James agreed and stood up as well," Ok. And if you have a time then come home. Lily want to meet you."
"I'll. Love you dad." Harry took a step forward and hugged his dad as James did the same.
"Love you too, Harry. And never forget that I'm always here for you." James patted his back before releasing him. Harry nodded with a smile and walked out to his office.
Present:-
"Yeah. I remember that. So what do you think about it?" James asked while holding a glass of orange juice near to his lips and took a sipe from it.
'Just think before doing anything. It's an important decision and you can't turn it back.' His conscious mind alert him but Harry kicked those warnings in the back store of his mind, ignoring them. He already made his decision and nothing could stop him.
"I need it dad. I- I want to....."
End!
