*Harry's POV*

"Uh, well, no," I reply and she laughs.

"Well, you are a teenage boy and when those feelings of wanting to have sex come along, it's hard to resist them. Just know that my daughter is a virgin and she knows perfectly well not to do something her mother wouldn't be proud of," she explains. "But you seem like a nice boy."

"Thanks?" I ask not sure whether to take all that as a compliment or an insult.

"Well, do you like Heather?" she asks and I just blush and look down into the sink. This is definitely and awkward conversation.

"I like her a lot," I admit and a smile appears on my face. "She's the first girl that actually makes my heart beat a little faster."

"Please know that Heather is very fragile even though she doesn't seem like it at first. When you are someone she cares about, you better feel so lucky because she would do anything for the people she loves," her mom explains and I can tell she is a straight forward person. 

"I just met her today and I'm hoping I can get to know her a little better because she seems like an amazing girl," I confess and her mom smiles.

"She is an amazing girl. I don't know why she doesn't have a lot of guys chasing her," her mom replies and I smile.

"She doesn't have a lot of guys chasing her because she's real and wonderful and not easy. Most guys just want a girl who they can have sex with, but not a real relationship and Heather will have a real relationship with a guy. She's just too good for them. They wouldn't be able to handle her beautiful personality," I exclaim and her mom smiles as well.

"You definitely like her, don't you?" she asks and I nod.

"There is something about her that drives me insane," I state.

"Don't give up on her. Ever. No matter what. She will like you if you keep trying to get her. She will form a soft spot for you," she explains and I smile to myself again. "She doesn't exactly have a lot of people at school who would sacrifice time for her and if you show her all you're willing to sacrifice for her, she'll love you."

"I would've done that anyway. I didn't know what I was missing, but when I laid eyes on her, I realized it was her I have been missing all these years even though I never knew her. Something tugged at my heart when she made eye contact with me and I knew I wasn't giving up until she was mine and even then, I wouldn't give up on her. She's too amazing for giving up," I pour all my feelings out and it seems so normal.

"I'll tell you what. I think you are already accepted into the family," her mom states and I smile. It feels good to know that her mom likes me.

"What about her dad?" I ask and her mom laughs.

"Her dad is in Chicago right now on a business trip and won't be back until April 10th," she exclaims.

Today is March 29th and that means her dad will be here in a few weeks. I need to get on his good side as well.

"Thank you," I say and she smiles.

I finish up the dishes and she says I am done. Louis and Zayn are done the living room as well.

"Guys, do you think we should head to the mall anytime soon considering it's 7 already," I announce into the living room while Zayn and Louis sit on the couch as if they're tired.

"Oh yeah. We need to get Liam, Heather, Niall, and Chloe," Zayn explains and Louis laughs.

"You lads are weird," I simply state and walk into the living room and plopping down on one of the recliners.

*Heather's POV*

"Liam, you need to set up the bottles like Conditioner, Shampoo, then Body Wash! Not Body Wash, Shampoo, then Conditioner!" I explain and rearrange the bottles in the shower.

"Wow, you're pushy," he simply says and I shake my head.

I begin dusting the window sill while Liam begins scrubbing the floor.

"Those girl that were outside of your car when you arrived here, they kind of looked like female versions of us," Liam states and I laugh.

"They've been like that since the 3rd grade," I state. "It's weird, I know."

"That is weird. That is way before we were put together as a band," he begins thinking out loud.

"I know. That's why everyone actually thought the five of them would end up with you, but I don't know if any of you have girlfriends," I state and he laughs.

"I am dating Danielle, Louis is dating Eleanor, and Zayn is dating Perrie," he exclaims and I laugh.

"Seriously? So, Sarah, Morgan, and Victoria don't have chances," I say.

"Neither do the other two," he responds.

"Christina and Rosie? Why not? Niall and Harry are single," I state and Liam just laughs.

"Are you really that blind to see?" he asks and I become confused.

"I don't understand," I say and he facepalms his forehead.

"Niall clearly likes Chloe," he exclaims and I shake my head.

"No. Chloe belongs with Jake," I say and Liam just chuckles.

"Have you seen them? They are obviously in love," Liam responds and I just look down at my feet. I don't want to be reminded.

"Oh look, we're done," I say and walk out of the bathroom.

"Deny it all you want, Heather, but it's true," Liam says after me. "And Harry is falling head over heels for you."

That's the part that gives me chills all over my body. Harry likes me. How? Why? I'm confused about all of this. I should be happy, but that just means that I will let him in. How could I let him in? I don't know a lot of stuff about him. He could be hiding stuff. How would I know?

I walk downstairs and Liam follows. Harry, Zayn, and Louis are sitting in the living room. I walk over to my mom in the kitchen as Liam takes a seat in the other recliner.

"Mom, we are heading back to the mall," I state and she smiles.

"Ok, honey. Well, I was talking to Harry and he seems like a keeper," she explains and my face turns a bright red.

"Mom," I say and she laughs.

"He really likes you and I bet you do too," she states and I look at my feet.

"Fine, I like him, but I don't understand why he would like me," I admit.

"Fate is hard to understand, honey, but just enjoy the moment while it lasts or else you'll regret it. Just take the opportunity when it surrounds you," she explains and hugs me. "Now get dressed in something nice."

"Ok," I agree when Niall and Chloe walk in through the front door.

"Who's ready to go?" Liam asks and I shake my head.

"Hold on! Chloe, can I see you upstairs?" I ask and she laughs.

"Yes," she replies and we run up the stairs while Niall joins his friends in the living room.

We enter my bedroom and I pick out something to wear on my date. "Is this good?" I ask posing and holding up the pieces to the outfit in front of me while Chloe laughs.

"Yes," she states and looks through her suitcase and pulls out a cute outfit.

"Awesome," I say and she heads to the bathroom to slip into the outfit. I slip into mine and feel butterflies in my stomach. I can't wait.
