Today Harry and I are going to visit my grandma. He is supposed to be picking me up now. I'm ready and I'm waiting for a text from him. For my outfit I just decided on a random sundress and my white sneakers. I hear a knock at my door cutting off my thoughts. Opening up the door to a beautiful Harry as usual. He is wearing his usual black jeans and black shirt. There are two bouquets of flowers in his hand. Lover.

"Who are those for?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows.

"You and your grandma." He says holding the sunflowers out for me. Aw. Precious boy. Lovey. Okay this is why I can't be emotional. I feel like I'm gonna start crying and I just finished getting ready.

"Oh. Thank you pretty boy." I say grabbing the sunflowers from him and see his cheeks immediately redden at the nickname. I lean in to give him a kiss on the cheek and he smiles at the action.

"You're welcome." He murmurs quietly then clears his throat, struggling to speak.

"You ready to go?" He says once he composes himself and I give him a nod. Walking over to the counter, quickly grabbing a vase and putting water in. I put the flowers nicely inside and place the vase on the counter for now. Then I grab my bag from one of the stools at the island and make sure I have everything I need. Phone, wallet, chapstick, and journal. As always everything I usually have in my bag is in its place.

We get to my grandma's house and once we park I go to get out but notice Harry just sitting in the car.

"What's wrong?" I ask confused as to why he isn't getting out of the car.

"Is your grandma scary?" He says looking over at me and I immediately notice he's nervous.

"No, she's probably the sweetest person you'll ever meet." I say giving him a small smile to make him feel better. We both get out of the car now and I put my hand in his, feeling him sigh heavily still nervous.

"You're gonna love her and she is gonna love you." I say trying to reassure him that he has nothing to be worried about. Knocking on the door we wait patiently for my grandma to answer.

"Hi my love." My grandma says excitedly opening the door. She looks tired, lately everytime I come to see her she looks tired. We don't usually do much when I come just watch a movie, bake stuff, or talk.

"Hi gram." I say and she pulls me in for a hug.

"Who's this young man?" She says pulling back from the hug and looking over at Harry. I turn my head toward and notice he's still nervous.

"His name is Harry." I say putting my hand on his arm softly and he looks over at me making me give him a small smile of reassurance.

"Hi Harry, nice to meet you. I'm sure you know that I'm Tay's grandma but my name is flora." My grandma says to Harry and then pulls him into a hug. You can tell Harry wasn't expecting a hug from the face he made as my grandma went to hug him.

"It's nice to meet you." Harry says in the hug and I try my best not to laugh at the nervous face he's making while hugging my grandma.

"Come inside. I just finished making some tea." My grandma says softly, moving to the side of the door to let us in. I walk in behind Harry letting him walk in before me. Seeing him look around my grandma's house. He looks fascinated as he looks around. There are millions of pictures filling my grandma's walls around the whole house. My grandma makes her way into the kitchen while I stay with Harry looking around at the pictures on the walls.

"Is that you?" He asks, pointing at one of the many pictures. I walk about next to him and look closely at the pictures noticing that it is in fact me when I was probably about five. It's one of the many pictures of Atti and I in the pool behind my grandma's house.
