A/N: Hi, folks! We meet again, do we? (Lol. Old story name…) I know I said last time, that I was hoping not to wait two weeks to update, but, here we are, two weeks later! It's weird, updating on a Monday night, but that's only because I wasn't as busy today, and am able to catch up with some things tonight. Anyway, since you're all waiting for the next chapter, I guess we should get started! Let's go! :D
Chapter 25: A Few Weeks Later
Marv's PoV:
It's been a few weeks, since Kate decided to "only be friends with me". So far, it's been the same routine: every other day or so, Kate and I meet up at Coffee Time for a drink. We always talk, whether it's about her kids or what's happening with Harry.
We don't even bring up Peter, because of the awkwardness it would bring to the conversation. I know Kate feels the same way I do, about pretending Peter doesn't exist for about an hour. That way, we can have our friendly relationship, without worrying about betraying him.
During this time, Harry, as far as I know, hasn't noticed what I've been doing. I guess me pretending I'm depressed about having to say "goodbye" to Kate has helped the situation… I've also been telling him that I go out for drives to help clear my mind.
One morning that I'm ready to meet up with Kate, I receive a call from her. It's not unusual, because she usually calls, telling me if she can't make it or if there's a change to our plans. But, not this morning… I'm out in the van, ready to leave for the coffee shop, when the phone rings. Knowing it's Kate, I pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Uh, hi, Marv…" I sense something different in Kate's voice. I'm not sure if anything's wrong, but I know she needs to tell me something.
"Hi, Kate," I reply. "Uh… Is something wrong?"
"We're going to meet at the Coffee Time, but I just wanted to say: There's something I've been meaning to tell you…" I start to become nervous; my stomach drops, and a lump forms in my throat.
"What do you mean? Like what?"
"Just meet me at the coffee shop, and I'll tell you there. I just wanted to prepare you, so that I didn't have to drop a bomb on you,"
"Well, you kinda are, anyway…"
"I haven't told you yet, have I?"
"Well, no, but…"
"Well then, meet me at the Coffee Time. I'll tell you there. Don't worry, it's not like I'm pregnant or anything!"
She then hangs up. I look at the phone in my hand, wondering what Kate could possibly say to me. I don't think it's about Peter, but there could be a chance she's pregnant… I mean, why else would she say that?
I then put the van into gear and start to leave. As I begin pulling out of the driveway, I glance in my side mirror. I think I see a figure, standing in the window, but I don't think much of it. That's when I do a double take, and see that it's Harry, standing in the top bedroom window…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again, folks! My apologies that it's not the longest chapter in the World, but at least it's something, right? Anyway, what do you think will happen in the next Marv and Kate's PoV? It's going to be Marv and Kevin's PoV next! So, look forward to that! I really hope I can keep this story going in the same direction I've been planning all along… It's hard now, with not updating every day, like I used to. But, we'll see what happens! Anyway, I guess that means ciao, for now! :D
