Hanging By A Moment
Mona Lisa
Samantha's POV:
'Sorry we got home late last night. You were already asleep when I came home ' Harry turned to look at me as he kept his hands on the wheels. 'It's okay' I flashed a Mona Lisa smile to hide the truth. 'So the lads called they said they're already there' he spoke as we drove to his family's house. 'Ohkay' again I kept my respond short. Anne organised a lunch for both our families and the boys. It was one of those family to family let's get to know each other by exchanging embarrassing stories of Harry and Samantha and talk about our future grandchildren gathering. 'Babe, are you alright? You've been quiet for the whole journey' Harry placed his right hand on top of my left. His touch sent an electric impulse of nervousness around my body. 'I'm okay' I looked up to meet his green orbs.
Ring! Ring! I searched for my phone in my clutch. I stared at the caller ID, I can't asnwer it, not now, not in front of him. Ring! Ring!
Ring! Ring! 'Sammie aren't you gonna answer that?' I heard Harry as I kept my eyes fixed on the screen. 'Hello' I mumbled in the phone. I turned to look at Harry who had his eyes fixed on the road. 'Um I'm sorry, can I call you back later. Thanks' I hanged up.
'Who was that?' he turned to ask me. 'Um no one, just work' I replied then turned to look out the window so he wouldn't ask anymore questions.

'Harry, Samantha you're here' Anne greeted as. 'Hi Anne' I gave her a kiss on the cheek. 'Come on everyone's at the back' she pulled my right hand while Harry keep his hand on my left hand.
'Hi Sweetie' Mum gave me a kiss. 'Hi Lucas' Harry shook Dad's hand. 'Well grandma and grandpa cant wait to meet Harry' Mum clenched her fist in excitement. 'And same goes for you Sammie. My parent's have been asking about you since they arrive' Anne asserted. 'Mum can we eat first' Harry interjected. 'Of course go ahead' Anne replied.
We lined up for food and went to sit where the other boys were. 'I'm quiet jealous of you Haz, you lived with a mum who's a great cook and now you live with a girl who's a great cook as well. Bro your never gonna die from starvation' Niall munched through his brownies.
'Harrry' a familiar little voice called out from behind. Allanah ran from Gemma's hand to Harry. 'Hey Sammie' Gemma greeted me. 'Hey Gem' I replied back. 'Hey Gem, can we have Allanah here for a while?' Harry asked. 'No way you, you already have a Robertson, this one's mine' Gemma joked. Allanah and I laughed at her expression. 'Anyway Nan and Pop are looking for you' she pointed at two oldies who were standing talking with two boys. 'Do you wanna go meet them?' Harry asked me. 'Sure' I replied. He took my right hand and we walked towards his grandparents who were now alone.
'Oh Harold' the old lady spoke in a strong British accent. Harry let go of my hand to hug his short, grey haired Nan. 'Harry' the man gave him a pat on the back. He stood back next to me and placed his hand on my lower back. 'Nan, Pop, this is my fiancé, Samantha' he introduced. 'Oh deary, you are very beautiful' the woman wrapped her frail arms around my body . 'Ms. Robertson, nice to meet you' the man shook my hand. 'Please call me Sammie' I smiled at them. 'So how did our grandson propose to you?' the lady asked in a high pitch tone. I let out a small laugh remembering every detail of the event. 'He made me go to 14 places around London were we shared special memories' I flashed a heart felt smile. 'Then we rode the London's eye and when it got to the top he proposed to me' I turned and smiled at Harry. 'Oh how romantic' the lady clasped her hands together. 'Matt, how come you never proposed to me like that?' the lady turned to the man. 'Well Vivian, I could always do it again' the man chuckled. 'Well when can we expect grandchildren?' the lady asked eagerly. 'Nan, were not married yet' Harry jumped in. 'Oh but with a beauty like her and a charming grandson like you, your children will be beautiful' her eyes sparkled at the thought. 'Mum, Dad' Anne came in. 'Come on, it's time for you to take your medicine' she informed them. 'Well, will talk again later' Matt smiled at us as he ushered his wife towards the house.
'That was horrible' Harry shot his head up. 'No it wasn't it. Their lovely' I laughed softly and placed my hands on his waist. 'How about a kiss?' I chuckled. 'Ohh yes please' he leaned his forehead against mine then cupped my face as he reached down for my lips. I could tell there were people watching us, but I didn't care. He was my fiancé now, it's not like were having sex out in the open.
'Oh Theo, he must be the fiancé' I heard a familiar quavering voice. Harry and I pulled away. 'Nan, Pop Hi' I hugged their fragile bodies lightly. 'This my fiancé Harry' I linked my arms around Harry's. 'Nice to meet you' Harry shook their wrinkly hands. 'Oh my you are very handsome' Nan giggled. 'So when's the wedding?' Pop asked. 'In a couple of months' I replied. 'Not long now Jenna till we have new grandchildren' Pop chuckled. Yup this was probably an unavoidable conversation with every family member. 'We do hope the children get your lovely dimples or your curly hair Harry' Nan smiled with her dentures.
'Theo, Jenna' Zayn came up to us. 'Oh hello Zayn' they greeted. 'Excuse me while I borrow Sammie for a while' he gestured.
'What's wrong?' I asked Zayn as we walked in the house. Zayn led me upstairs to Harry's room so we could talk in private. 'They called me' he uttered. I sat on the bed knowing this was gonna be a long convo. 'Look Jules, I think you should go on Friday. Come on his birthday only comes once a year. They would be happy to see you' he sat next to me on the bed.
Harry's POV:
'Hey guys have you seen Zayn and Sammie?' I asked the lads. 'Yeah they went upstairs?' Liam answered. I went upstairs and checked the rooms. 'I don't know Zayn, I haven't even told Harry' I heard Sammie's weary voice. I stopped before the door and listened in. 'I know this is hard for you, but don't just forget about Xavier. He was very important to you' Zayn asserted. 'I haven't forgotten about him' Sammie's voice began to break. 'Look how about on Friday I go down with you to see him?' Zayn offered. 'I would like that' Sammie replied. 'Ohkay, well I'm gonna go back downstairs before they start looking for us' Zayn spoke. I quickly walked towards the stairs then turned around to walk back towards the room, to make it looked like I haven't been there for long. 'Hey' Zayn called out. 'Hey' I replied. 'She's in the room' he pointed. I walked in the room and Sammie was looking at an old photo of me. 'Sammie' I slowly approached her. She put the frame down and I saw her wipe her face. 'Are you crying' I grabbed her wrist. 'No, no' she lied. 'What's wrong?' I asked. 'Nothing' she wrapped her arms around my back and hugged me. She slowly pulled away and I could tell there was something she wanted to get out of her chest. 'Harry' she began. 'I know we said we were going out Friday. But something came up and I'll be gone for the morning' she spoke softly. It wasn't exactly the explanation I was looking for. 'Ohkay' I mimicked the same Mona Lisa smile she gave me in the car.
