Only Angel-Harry Styles

"Couldn't you take home to mother in a skirt that short

But I think that's what I like about it"

Darlene's POV:

"I missed you so much!" I hear Harry's mother exclaim the second the door swings open.

I stand awkwardly in the living room not knowing exactly what to do. I'm hoping Harry takes it upon himself to introduce us so I don't have to worry about figuring out how to approach that situation.

"I missed you too" I hear Harry responds but it's muffled, which I assume means they're hugging.

"I was going to check into my hotel and then come by but I couldn't wait another minute!" 

I feel so out of place right now, I decide to take a seat on the couch and try and look natural instead of standing in the middle of the living room like a deer in the headlights. I began fiddling with my fingers, a nervous habit of mine.

I was so engrossed in my own anxious thoughts I must have tuned out their conversation but the second I hear what Harry says I'm snapped out of my thoughts,

"She's actually here right now, she's in the living room" Harry chuckles and my breath hitches because I know that means they're about to enter.

"Oh my gosh!" I hear his Mom say excitedly before I hear their footsteps approaching.

Why the hell am I so nervous to meet Harry's mom? Like I said, I've never met the parents of any of the guys I've actually dated. But maybe I'm nervous because we're lying to this poor woman and I have to make it convincing.

Once I see Harry and his Mom appear in the entryway I stand up on instinct planting a welcoming smile on my face. She's beautiful, and I can see the resemblance immediately. She radiates kindness which makes me feel even guiltier for lying to her.

I snap my eyes to Harry quickly and he has a small smile on his face, he looks alot more innocent right now. He's definetly a Mama's boy, I can just tell by the look on his face.

She stands frozen in place for a second as a huge smile appears on her face. She begins to cup her hands over her face in awe at Harry's 'girlfriend' standing before her. I take this as my cue to approach. I extend my hand out to her,

"Hi I'm Darlene, it's nice to finally meet you" I say not helping the growing smile on my face.

Instead of taking my hand she engulfs me in a hug, I'm slightly taken by surprise but I hug her back almost instantly. She smells like vanilla, everything about this woman is comforting.

"I'm Anne, I'm so glad to finally meet you too sweetie" She says squeezing me tight, like if she lets go I may disappear. I didn't realize how badly she truly has wanted Harry to be in a steady relationship. I hate that she doesn't know he's a big fat liar. 

I glance at Harry who's standing behind his mom and give him a smirk at the interaction. I can tell his Mom already likes me, at least a little, even though we haven't even spoken yet.
