we're just best friends | wroetoshaw

twenty seven

it was Christmas eve today and i had just arrived at my parents house. me and harry had decided it was probably best to spend it with our own families as we were still early stages into our relationship but god did i miss him.

the two hour car journey from London to oxford was boring, traffic was everywhere. i sighed as i was stuck in another traffic jam down the motorway. i plugged in my phone and shuffled through my songs until i came across one of my all time faves. wasn't me by shaggy.
as soon as the song finished i let out a small smile and the traffic jam was clearing up and i was finally making my way towards my childhood home.
i made my way into the cotswolds where my parents lived and how beautiful was it. the beautiful landscapes, views and wildlife. i missed it here but wouldn't leave London for a few more years, they were both my homes but were going to be homes at different times in my life.
i pulled up outside there house being bombarded with hugs and kisses when i got out the car.
"darling your home" my mum ran over hugging and kissing me on my forehead.
"it's so good to see you cel" my dad said walking over joining in with the hug.
"i missed you guys so much" letting out a small sniffle.
"aw darling don't miss us to hard enjoy your life in London you were talking to us once a week which was amazing"
"it really was mum" i followed them both into their house smiling to myself.

i sat down on their sofa looking around at all the memories made here.
"here you go dear" my dad bought my over my cup of tea, milk and 2 sugars.
"thanks dad" i smiled over at him as he placed himself in the arm chair opposite me and mum.
"when do we get to meet harry then?"
"soon i promise we're actually going to Paris in February so after that i'll bring him here to meet you."
"that would be lovely darling. he sounds like a lovely lad"
"oh he is mum he really is."

time flew quickly by and there wasn't a time of silence. my parents and i talked for hours until it came up to 7.30 where i thought it would be time to call harry. i dialled his number and he picked up after the first ring.
"hey celery"
"hi smelly" he laughed at my comment before blowing a kiss at me.
"miss me don't you?" he asked.
"i suppose so" i winked back at him.
"well i certainly miss you, i can't wait to see you in 3 days. i'm counting down the hours and minutes."
"my present is amazing by the way and it's like a joint present. but there's one that's more sentimental"
"i'm sure it is, mine are better. your also gonna be old tomorrow. 23 ew."
"harry shut up your 25 going on 30"
"oi oi that's a violation." i laughed he was so cute. my mum shouted me down so i bought harry down with me.
"you okay mum?"
"i heard you on the phone is that harry?"
"yeah this is harry" i smiled at him before he introduced himself to my parents.
"good evening mr and mrs James"
"oh darling call us holly and Paul, it's so lovely to meet you. my daughter has never glowed like this before, you truly make her happy thank you" my cheeks flushed red a bit and from what i could see so did harry's.
"it's my pleasure your daughter is the best thing that's ever happened to me. can't believe she's turning 23 tomorrow she's getting old" i huffed and then laughed before my parents and harry carried on with there conversation. j smiled at the thought of them bonding, he really knew how to make people like him.

it was nearing 9pm before i finally got my phone back of my parents. i took it back up to my room where we spoke for a few more hours.
"i love you so much celery"
"i love you for eternity smelly"
"for eternity"

12.00 finally hit and shouting and singing erupted from my phone.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CELERY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" i smiled and laughed at him dancing around his room smiling and giggling.
"i love you so much harry"
"i can't wait to see what i've got you. now go to sleep you look tired. i love and miss you. goodnight celery."
"goodnight Harold." i smiled before shutting down my phone and resting my head on my pillow. he was amazing.
