Eve POV

It's the following day and Harry is eating his breakfast along with Avery. I just had a cup of coffee and called it a day.

I sit besides Harry and speak. "Can we chat?"

"Yes," His eyes glance over at me.

"So, I was going to keep this a secret but I hate keeping secrets and I like opinions, so I need your opinion; or blessing if you will," I ramble a bit.

"Okay?" His eyebrows knot.

I take out my phone and show him Champs. "This is the old Champs," I say.

"I know," He answers.

I swipe to the left. "And this is what you want the restaurant to look like after,"

"Yes," He says.

"I know my opinion doesn't mean shit to you but why don't you not do that?" I ask.

"Eve?"

"Yes?" I ask.

"I trust you," He says. "Do you really think that I don't know you've changed everything by now?"

My face heats at his words causing him to chuckle. "It was going to be a surprise but I know you might have had a heart attack if you see something you didn't ask for," I say. I bite my lip after.

"You slept on it?" He chuckles.

"Yeah," I say. "I know it was out of line, like everything I do but what you had just triggered me and I don't know why. It was just nothing special and bland."

"Okay," His eyes look into mine.

"So, you're alright with me kind of discarding your original plan? I am keeping the decorations and lights you picked though," I add.

"Yes, I'm alright with it," Harry gives me a small smile. I lean in and kiss his lips.

"Why do you trust me your baby?" I ask now. "Champs is your second child and you're like chill about everything. You would usually yell or scold me. I was expecting you to say I should've asked or it's not my restaurant I had no right. But you said nothing," I say with a confused look.

"We had our first date there and since then you've always been picking out things you wanted to change or add," Harry says to me. "So, I trust your opinion and what you think is good. I just went the easy way that triggered your OCD-ness," He places his spoon in his mouth then sips his juice.

"Okay," I say, dropping the topic. "Anyways, i got to go be you again," I stand. I look down at Harry's food. I move his bowl that was crooked and fix his glass cup filled of orange juice that was closer towards the edge.

I reach for the napkin but Harry's hand rests on top of mine. I break out of whatever I was in, and look to Harry who is looking at me. He doesn't say anything, he just gives me and small smile and squeezes my hand.

"If you need anything my phone is on," I tell him.

"Okay," His hand detaches from mine. I kiss Avery before I leave the house.

I get to the publishing office on time and make it into Harry's office without getting stares from some people at the office who still find it weird that I'm taking over and not Liam.

His list says for me to:

organise files, mail out contracts that are approved and signed by me (you).

That can't be too bad.

***

Paper doesn't like me.

I've gotten too many paper cuts today and they're starting to sting. I'm also a klutz so I can't really complain.

I took a break from reading contracts and finding where it would say approved. It's one o'clock now and I have a meeting at two and four. What are they about? I don't know.

I give Harry props for what he does. It's a lot of work, and I don't like it. The only thing that I do like is being apart of the restaurant. I know it's not mine, but I like telling them what I envision and things. I don't know, I just like it. Since my brother Mason owns the comedy club, he's told me a lot of what he had to do, and want needs to be done to keep it up.

I take out my phone and run through my emails real quick.

They're all mostly spam, but I like cleaning it out every once and a while.

Once I'm done with that I get back to work. I need a pen. I look around his big desk and see not one fucking pen. Is he not a normal person who keeps pens and pencils on the desk top?

I shrug. I didn't want to look through his desk drawers but now I need too. I slowly open the first one closest to me and see nothing but envelopes and paper clips.

The second drawer I open is filled with declined contracts. Why is that in his desk and not the filing cabinet or even the garbage?

I slowly pull open the third drawer and come across his wedding photo with Jane. A smile is on both of their mouths and they both look happy. His eyes are on Jane who's looking at the camera. Just the way he looks at her you can tell he was in love.

I bite my lip and close that drawer and keep looking for a pen. I soon find a single pen on the floor and use it, after washing it off though. I didn't want to continue to look through his things.

***

I get home around seven. I had to go to sign some contracts for the restaurant at five, then on my way home there was a lot of traffic.

I plop myself down on my mattress and let out a deep breath. I'm tired. If anything the traffic is what annoyed me the most today.

"Hey," I hear Harry say to me. I sit up a bit and see him walk in with Avery.

He sits down beside me and smiles gently. I take my daughter from his arms. She looks very tired and she might fall asleep soon. Ava is wearing space themed pyjamas which are very cute. I kiss her cheeks and the top of her head. I rock her back and forth in my arms gently.

"How was your day?" He asks me.

"Fine, yours?"

"Fine," Harry answers casually.

"Why was your day fine?" I ask while furrowing my eyebrows.

"Because your day was fine," I laugh at his words and shake my head. "Did you want dinner? A plate for you is in the fridge,"

"No, I'm not hungry," I say.

"What did you eat today?" He asks me. I remain silent and look down at Avery. "I'll heat up your dinner,"

"Don't worry about me, I got it." I say. "Just sit down and relax,"

"I am relaxed," Harry kisses my cheek then slips out of bed.

I look back down to Ava and see her hazel eyes look tired. "I wish I was something special," I say to her. "I'm sorry you don't have a Mom who has an amazing job that you can look up to. But, I know you'll become something amazing yourself and that's good to me," I kiss her cheek and smile at her tired self. "Lets get you to bed, yeah?"
