Is It Really Meant To Be
As soon as she woke up she felt sick. She knew that she wasn’t alone and she knew that the man lying next to her was not Matt. Tears filled her eyes when she woke and saw Anthony, sleeping peacefully next to her.
She stayed still for a moment, her mind going over everything that had happened the previous night. She couldn’t believe how stupid she had been. Matt and her had had plenty of fights in the past, but she had never ever come close to doing anything like this. She didn’t think it was even in her nature. Her faith had always taught her to cherish love and to always be faithful. For some reason last night, she completely forgot about her religion and her love. Their fight last night wasn’t even a big one, not like the ones they have had before. She couldn’t understand what made her actually do this. She loved Matthew with all her heart and she truly believed this time around they would make things work. She would never be able to carry on their relationship without telling him the truth, but she knew that as soon as he found out then he would end it for good.
“Morning…”
She jumped slightly and looked across to see Anthony, stretching before sitting up.
“Sorry.” He smiled when he saw her jump.
“It’s okay…” She said quietly, wrapping the bed sheet around her tighter.
“Do you want to go and get breakfast or something?”
“I’m not really that hungry.”
Anthony shifted closer to her, taking hold of her hand gently then bringing it to his lips. When he did, she quickly pulled her hand away.
“Are you okay?” He asked her.
“I’m fine…but I’ve got an interview soon…I better get ready…Have a shower and all…” She replied, avoiding his eyes as she carefully stood up, keeping her body covered.
“Okay, well I guess I should get going anyway…” He told her, grabbing his clothes from the floor and quickly got dressed. “I guess I’ll see you around.”
“Yeah.” She said quietly.
He paused as he passed her on his way to the door. He leaned in to kiss her but she turned her head, so his lips pressed against her cheek instead.
Once he was gone, she sat back on the bed, deep in thought, praying that this was just some kind of horrible dream that she would wake up from any minute. She noticed her cell phone on the bedside table, remembering that she had turned it off. Her eyes stung when she saw that Matthew had called her 5 times and had left a message.
“Harri, it's me...I just wanted to talk to you...To say sorry for earlier...I was a jerk...I guess it was because I'm missing you...I'm going crazy here...But it's probably the same for you...Anyway, call me back when you get a chance... I love you...Bye.”
Her heart sunk, hearing his voice, hearing him say he loved her. She shut the cell and let it fall to the bed before pushing herself to her feet and slowly making her way into the bathroom. It wasn’t until she had stepped into the warm water that he allowed herself to cry.

“Are you ready yet?” Matt asked Danny impatiently, standing at his office door.
“Yeah, I’ll be right with you…” Danny replied, typing on his computer.
“Oh, come on!”
“What’s your rush?”
“The longer we stay here the more chance of someone coming and getting us to do something else.”
“We’re the bosses, Matt…we can do what we want, when we want.”
“As long as it’s okay with me.”
Matt jumped when Jordan appeared behind him; he walked fully into the room knowing that Jordan would probably distract them from their task. “Damn it!”
“What are you guys up to?”
“Working very hard to put on an incredible show Friday night.” Danny smiled innocently at her from his desk.
“Yeah, I don’t buy it.” She shook her head.
“We were actually just talking about going out for lunch.”
“Okay, good I just came over here to see if you wanted to grab something.” She replied.
“No!” Matt and Danny both said quickly at the same time.
“Okay, what’s going on?” She asked.
“Nothing, Matt and I just want to spend some time together.” Danny told her.
“Alone?” She raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.”
“No!” Matt exclaimed.
Jordan folded her arms and looked between the two of them, amused.
“You’ve got 20 seconds to explain, or I’m going to tell Suzanne to put the two of you on a crash diet.”
“Matt’s wants to buy an engagement ring for Harriet!”
“Oh my, God!” Jordan’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Danny!” Matt looked at him quickly.
“What? I can’t live off of salads…” Danny told him. “What else was I meant to say?”
“Lie!”
“Oh yeah.”
“What do you mean, ‘Oh yeah’…Do you lie to me often?” Jordan turned to him.
“Um, hmm… No?”
“You’re seriously going to purpose?” Jordan looked at Matt.
“Yeah.” He sighed.
“You don’t seem very happy about it.”
“No, I am… It’s just I don’t want everyone else finding out before I get the chance to ask her.”
“Well, I won’t tell anyone.” Jordan promised. “And hey, I can help you pick out a ring.”
“You don’t need to do that…” Matt asked.
“Don’t talk crazy, I want to…” She grabbed hold of his hand and started pulling him out of the office. “Come on, lets go.”
“Hey! Wait for me!” Danny called after them, jumping up and following them out.

Harriet sat alone in her hotel room; she had completed all of her interviews and meetings for the day and decided to spend the night alone. Tomorrow was Friday and she was going back to LA. Even though she was not doing the show because she hadn’t been there all week, she was meant to go and watch the show with Matt. She had no idea how she was going to face him.
She sighed when her cell phone started to ring again and saw it was Matt. She had already ignored 3 of his calls and knew if she didn’t answer, he would get worried.
“Hello?”
“Hey…Finally, I’ve been trying to get hold of you.”
“Yeah, sorry I was just about to call you back.” She told him. “Is everything okay?”
“Everything is good… Everyone is missing you.” Matt replied. “I’m missing you.”
“I missing you too…” She whispered, trying not to cry. “So much…”
“Are you okay?” He questioned.
“Yeah, I’m fine...” She assured him, trying to dry her eyes. “I wish you were here.”
“Me too.” He replied. “But are you sure you’re okay? You don’t sound your normal self.”
“I guess I’m just a little tired.”
“Maybe you should get some sleep… you’ve had a long busy week.” He told her.
“I suppose you’re right.” She sighed.
“I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, bye.” She replied. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He replied. “Sleep well.”
“You too…” She sighed softly, before hanging up the phone, collapsing back onto the bed, breaking down in tears.

Matt leaned back in his chair, pulling the ring box out of his pocket and opening it. Just looking at it made him smile because he knew everything was going to turn out perfect.
