Harry’s POV

I spent the day with the girls and Carly’s mom, Laura. Chelsea and Haelo hadn’t really left my side because they didn't want me to be stuck with Laura in an awkward situation but they were gone now. Laura and I were sitting on the couch watching tv and they were in the kitchen making us lunch.

“May I ask you something?” Laura turned to face me with a serious look.

“Sure.” Here it comes.

“Are you serious about Carly? Can you see this relationship lasting?” Carly was right, her and her mom were just the same.

“Yes, I am and definitely.” I smiled reassuringly.

“Good. She doesn’t tell a lot of people this but she has been hurt in the past and I don’t want to see her get hurt again.” Her eyes were full of regret as she talked. “Please don’t hurt her.”

“I will do my best not to hurt her.” I ran my fingers through my hair as she played with the hem on her shirt.

“Have you guys had sex?” She blurted it out making my cheeks flush.

“Yes.” I answered almost inaudibly.

“Okay.” She nodded and looked down at her fingers. “Do you love her?”

“I haven't told her yet but yes, I do love her.” My heart was racing because that was the first time I’d said it out loud. “I want to tell her while we’re here.”

“Why while you're here?”

“This is where she was raised, where she is most comfortable, so I feel like it’s the right place to say it.” My throat was tight.

“That’s smart.” She paused. “Harry, I just want to say that from what I’ve seen of you, I approve. I like the way you treat her and I can tell she is happy with you.” Her eyes were filling with tears.

“Thank you so much.” The smile that was spreading across my cheeks was involuntary.

She nodded and leaned over to me, wrapping her arms around me. I embraced her in a hug and felt her rub my back before pulling out of the hug.

“Do you guys have plans tonight?” She wiped her cheeks.

“Not that I know of.” I shrugged looking down at my lit up phone.

“I want to take all of you out to dinner.” She looked at my screen too.

“Oh, it’s Carly saying that she’s almost here. And that sounds great.” I locked my phone and looked into her eyes, they were bright blue just like Carly’s.

“Okay.” She stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

Carly’s POV

“I’m home!” I yelled locking the door behind me. “Mommy?”

“In the kitchen!” She called back to me.

I dropped my bag on the floor and kicked off my Vans before walking to the kitchen. My mom and the babes were sitting at the eating lunch and Harry was nowhere in sight. I took the seat next to Chelsea and picked up her drink.

“Hi sweetie, how was work?” My mom asked while I took a sip of her Mountain Dew.

“Pretty good.” I shrugged seeing my moms face that meant to continue. “It was fun but the clothes aren’t my styles so it’s hard to model them.”

“Honey, you don’t have a style. You never really stick with one style.” She was right, I didn't have one certain style. “What’d you wear today?”

“A maxi skirt.”

“I’ve never seen you wear one of those but I’m sure you looked absolutely amazing, you know you can wear everything.” She reached across the table and touched my hand.

“Thanks mom.” She always had a way of making me feel better. “Where’s Harry?”

“In the shower.” Chelsea answered before my mom could.

“How was your day with him?” I was scared of the answer because I know how harsh my mom could be.

“Good.” My mom was short with her answer, which usually meant she didn't want to talk about it.

“Okay? Well, I’ll be in my room.” I excused myself and walked away shaking my head.

I walked down the hallway to my room. Harry’s raspy voice rang through the room when I opened the door. He was sitting at my desk with no shirt on, a lovely sight if you ask me; he had a notepad on the desk and a pen in his hand. I stepped in and closed the door while he set the pen down and looked at me.

“Hi babe.” He smiled leaning back in the chair. “How was work?”

“Pretty good.” I shrugged and sat on cleared edge of the desk. “So, how was the day with my mom?”

“Pretty good, I think she likes me.” The smile on his face and the glint in his eyes, showed me how happy he was. “Well, I hope she does.”

“I think she does. She doesn’t seem to have anything against you so I think you're good.” His hand rested on my thigh while I talked. “Let’s talk about something else, I don’t want to talk about my mom.” I laughed touching his cheek.

“Okay.” His chuckle was so cute to me. “Do you have plans today?”

“Nope.” I popped the “p” on the end of it making him chuckle again.

“Well now you do, we’re all going out to dinner tonight.” He leaned forward and kissed me softly. “Do you want to go do anything today?”

“No but once I’m done with all my work stuff here, I want to go on a road trip.” I set my hand on his and looked into his eyes.

“Ooooh, where’re we gonna go?” He semed so interested, it reminded me of a little kid getting a present.

“I want to hangout with my brother, go to San Diego and spend some time in San Francisco.” I hadn’t talked to my brother in a while but I definitely missed him.

“Sounds fun.”

“I’m gonna go call my brother, okay?” I asked slipping off the desk.
