Safe heaven
Meeting the parents
I slowly open my eye and I'm quickly welcomed to the smell of my mothers famous chicken noodle soup. She would always make it when I was upset or sick. I quickly throw on a simple white dress and throw some mascara on. I hear my phone go off and I quickly grab it.
Harry: I'm here love.
My heart skips a beat. And I run down stairs. I quickly open the door and see a very attractive Harry. My eyes look him up and down, he is wearing a navy blue button up shirt with a pair of kaki pants.
"Like the view?" He says biting his lip.
"Very." I feel a blush appear on my cheeks.
"Erica? Is that him?" I hear my mom call from the kitchen.
"Come in." I say grabbing his hand and pull him into the kitchen
After introducing Harry to my parents my father pulled him aside to have a "talk" with him as me and my mom prepared for dinner.
"Do you like him?" My mom ask me out of the blue. I felt my face grow hot.
"A little bit" I say biting my lip.
"I can tell he likes you too, just by the way he looks at you."
"Really?" My mother nobs before the boys come in laughing. Well my dad must of not scared Harry to much.
After we ate we had small talk for about an hour. It was nice to see that my father and Harry got along so well.
"Excuse me" my father says answering his phone.
"Why don't you and Harry go for a walk while I clean up." My mom says.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?"
"No it's fine you to go!" She said before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Shall we?" Harry said standing holding out his hand.
"We shall!" I say taking his hand.
The sun was just getting ready to set.
"So how did your interview go today." I ask as we walk down the street.
"Really good actually. You came up!"
"Really?! Why would they want to know about me?"
"Well you've been in some pictures with us and the fans wanted to know more about you."
"Oh."
"Yea and Simon wants to meet you!" He said with a smile.
"Why?!" I ask nervously.
"I don't really know actually he wants me to brings you by tomorrow. If that's alright with you. He is in New York for some business."
"I mean I guess I can." I nervously bite my lip.
"He will love you!" He gave my hand a little squeeze. I smile.
"Here let's go watch the sun set over there!" I say pulling him over to a little park. I pull him over to the swing set and we swing together watching the sky change colors.I glance over at Harry and see that he's staring at me.
"What are you looking at?!" I say with a giggle.
"Just looking at a beautiful girl on a beautiful night." He say with a smile showing off his dimples. I blush.
"Well thank you." I smile and look down at my legs. Harry always knows what to say to make me feel special. We sit there for a while and just joking around.
"Well come on love let's get back to your house." Harry says jumping off the swing.
"Okay" I say as I jump off the swing. Harry takes my hand and intertwines our fingers.
"So I was talking to your dad.."
"About what?!"
"The trip to California."
"What did he say?"
"He thought it would be grand for me to come along. I think he said something along the lines of 'You can help me teach that boy a lesson or two!'" Harry said with a serious face and waved his pointer finger in the air.
"Oh gosh!" I said laughing.
"I think he likes me!" He says proudly.
"Good because I like you!"
"That's good to hear." He says with a smile.
"Were home!" I yell as we walk back into my house.
"Did you to have fun?" My mom ask.
"Yep!" I say popping the p.
"Where's dad?"
"Oh he had to go meet your uncle."
"Okay well me and Harry are going to my room to watch a movie."
"Okay you to have fun."
"Who said I wanted to watch a movie with you?!" Harry said as we walk upstairs.
"Me!"
"And why should I?!" He said with a grin.
"Because I get whatever I want!" I said sticking out my tongue.
"Oh yes I forgot I was with Princess Erica Kennedy!" He said walking into my room. And plopped down on my bed.
"What movie do you want to watch?" I ask flipping though my movies.
"You pick!" He says playing with his phone. I stop on Shrek it's probably my favorite movie ever. I put it in my DVD player and hit play and sit down beside Harry who still is on his phone. So I decide to tickle him.
"Hey now!" He said jumping to the side.
"What does Harry not like being tickled?" I said getting closer to him wiggling my fingers.
"Erica- stop- it!" He managed to get out between laughs.
"Why?" I ask innocently.
"Because payback is a bitch!" He said pinning me down on the bed. He grabbed my wrist with one hand and started tickling my sides with the other.
"Har-ry sssttt-oop it! P-please" I tried my hardest to break free.
"What does princess not like being tickled?" After a few moments he stopped and I wiped my tears from laughing away, and laid down on my bed as the movie started. Harry soon curled up next to me. I smile this seems to be a new thing. I loved being wrapped up with him it was like my safe heaven.
After the movie ended I could hear Harry snoring behinds me. I wiggle out of his arms and gently shake him awake.
"Do you want to stay here?"
"What time is it?" He asked rubbing his eyes.
"Almost midnight. My mom and dad are already asleep." I say sitting back down.
"Yea let me just text the boys."
"Okay I'm going to go change" I say grabbing some shorts and a t-shirt.
When I return to my room I see Harry already undressed and under the covers. I turn off the lights and tv and climb in. I'm once again welcome into his arms.
"Goodnight love." Harry said pressing a kiss to the back of my neck, causing goosebumps to rose on my skin. I hear him chuckle.
"Night." I say and drift to a dreamless sleep.
