Eve POV

It's Friday afternoon and I'm putting away some laundry.

Ava is taking her nap now, so this is my time to do some chores, and relax a bit. My daughter is in the middle of the bed sleeping peacefully, which makes me smile.

I borrowed one of Harry's shirts a few nights ago to sleep in, so I'm putting it back where I got it.

I open his top drawer and put his white shirt back in his other piles.

I miss him. I'm so used to sleeping beside Harry or seeing him everyday. I get sad when we hang up because I just want to be with him.

My eyes look back down to his drawer and my eyes come across and small box. My head tilts at the box and my eyebrows furrow. It's small square shape and it is a felt feeling as well as black.

I assume it's something for Avery, but why would he keep it in his tee shirt pile like he's hiding it?

I close his drawer and try to forget what I saw. It might be one of his old ring boxes for his rings, since he wears them.

I lay down besides my daughter and watch her as she sleeps. I stroke her curls and kiss the top of her head. I'm so in love with her it makes me tear up sometimes.

I rub her back with my thumb and continue watching her as she sleeps.

Harry POV

On Wednesday Daren came to Arizona to hangout with Liam and I on our "guys week".

Liam also invited his friend Ben, who I don't know. He says he's known Ben for years now and wanted him to join us.

I was fine with having Ben hangout with us, but I don't like him. I don't know why, but I just get this odd feeling around him.

Since Ben has been here Liam has been more focused on hanging out with him than Daren and I, which I find semi rude.

It's Friday evening now and Ben and Liam went golfing while Daren and I went gambling.

"Ben seems like a cool dude," Daren says to me. I glance to him.

"He seems like a dick," I say.

"You're just saying that because Liam is hanging out with him and not you," My friend laughs.

"Am not," I scoff. "He can hangout with whomever he pleases, why would I care?"

"I don't know. Ben seems really cool though," I roll my eyes at his comment and put my cards down. I won this set and smile. I grab the chips in the middle of the table and bring it closer towards me. "How's Avery?"

"Good. She's finally getting along with Eve, which is a relief," I say with a grin. I look back to Daren who's staring at me. "What?" I ask.

"How are you and Eve? Good?"

"Why is it whenever I bring her up you suddenly change your attitude?" I ask my friend.

"Because you're dating my little sister,"

"She's 26 now, Daren," I say.

"She's still my baby sister in my eyes," He defends. "I just wish you would tie the knot already," Daren shrugs.

"I bought a ring a while ago, but I don't like it so I'm going to exchange it," I admit with a shrug.

"What's wrong with the ring?" He asks me.

"It's too small--like the diamond is too small. And I want to wait until Liam is already married and her friend Kris is. If I propose now it wouldn't seem as special, you know?"

"I think it's just proposing when she's off guard is what makes it special," Daren says to me. "You can propose now and have a long engagement,"

"I don't know," I say through a huff. "I haven't thought about how I should propose or when, I just got the ring,"

"When did you get the ring?" He ask me.

"Two months ago," I say.

"Well, I hope she says yes," Daren chuckles. I roll my eyes at his comment. "Liam's wedding is in November," He brings up.

"Yeah," I say.

"Has he asked you to be his best man?" I look back to Daren.

"No, but I know he's going to ask me," I say confidently.

"What if he doesn't?"

"Why wouldn't he pick me? He's practically my brother," I chuckle.

I look back down to the table and put in another chip.

Liam has to ask me, I mean, I'm his best friend. Who else would he ask besides me? Ben? I laugh at the thought.

***

The time Daren and I get back to the hotel Liam and Ben walk in, into the lobby. They have smiles on their lips and seem to be happy.

"How was golf?" I ask.

"Great. Of course I lost, but it was fun," Liam informs me. "Then we got some drinks after and it was a good time. How was uh gambling?"

"Harry lost a thousand," Daren chimes in with laughter.

"But I earned two hundred," I add. I'm usually really good at gambling, I don't know why I sucked today.

"For my bachelor party we're going to Las Vegas. That's where we can see Harry lose a lot," Liam says through a snicker.

"You uh, already planned it?" I ask him.

Usually the best man plans the bachelor party for the groom.

"Yeah, Ben did a few months back. It's in September I believe," Liam grins.

"Ben is your uh best man?" I ask, I try to sound happy but I'm actually not.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you?" Daren is giggling beside me.

"No, but uh that's cool," I murmur. "It's late now and I have to call Eve. I'll see you guys in the morning," I dismiss myself.

I didn't lie, I usually call Eve around this time. I just didn't want to stay there and look at Ben.

I deserve to be the best man. I've been his best friend since we were five years old. Liam was my best man at my first wedding and I was going to ask him to be my best man again when or if Eve and I do get married.

I sit on my bed and call Eve. She answers on the third ring. "Hey," I hear her say.

"Hello," I mumble.

"You alright?" My girlfriend says.

"No,", I lay down now. "Liam didn't ask me to be his best man," I tell her. "And I don't know why, but it's making me sad,"

"Why didn't he ask you?" She asks.

"I don't know. He asked some prick named Ben to," I say while rolling my eyes. "Like I've been in Liam's life for twenty five years and I'm not even going to be his best man. How shitty is that,"

"Don't let it stress you out," Eve tells me. "Why don't you ask him?"

"I don't know," I sigh. "Anyways, how are you and Ava?"

"Good," Her voice turns peppy. "She's beside me now chilling," She says, causing me to smile.

"I miss you guys a lot," I admit. "Like a lot, a lot."

"I miss you too," Eve says. "When you get back we'll have some alone time, yeah?"

A grin escapes on my lips by her words. "You know that's all I'm going to be thinking about for the next two days,"

"I know," She hums.

"Do we have condoms?" I ask.

"No, so pick them up. I would but I would have to take Ava with me and that would be weird. Plus, I never bought condom's in my life and I would probably get the smallest size by accident,"

I snicker at her words. "I'll pick them up," I say. "How have you been, good?"

"Yeah, I've been good. Me and Ava have had some bonding time and all," Her voice sounds happy. I miss my daughter. "I would ask you if you're good, but I know you're sad about the whole Liam thing. If it bothers you that much I would just ask,"

"I will," I mumble. "I'm going to go to bed now, I'm tired. I love you,"

"I love you too. See you in two days,"

"See you in two days," I say back to my girlfriend.

We soon end our call and I lay down. I let out a deep breath and get under my covers.
