H

I had been home only a month and I was already back into my normal routine. My employees had welcomed me back with a huge party. They had a lot to say about Niall taking over. It was funny actually. Some even said they thought he did a better job than me. My company was now named Storan Inc. since Niall and I were going to run this company together. From what he's done so far, I knew that running this company with him wouldn't be too bad. In fact, having him by my side might actually make it more bearable.

Since I didn't have to go to work every day, I decided that I'd spend some time not only with Niall, but with my mum and my older sister Gemma. We had gone out for brunch, did a little shopping then headed back to the house and decided it was a good day to go swimming; I also had an outdoor pool. Niall and my sister had already left to get changed when my mother stopped me. She grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. She had been doing that a lot lately. It didn't bother me. She had every right to do this because 1. She's my mother and 2. We didn't have this kind of contact for so long.

When she broke away from me, I had told Mr. Evans--who had just walked into the room--to make a few snacks and bring them to the outdoor pool in about thirty minutes. He nodded then headed into the kitchen to start his work.

"Harry?" my mum asked.

I turned to look at her.

"Yes, mum?"

"Can I ask you something?"

I nodded just as Niall, Miss Cartier--who I now just call Isabella--and my sister came down the stairs.

"Just one minute, mum," then I faced them, "looks like you three are ready for a swim."

I smiled widely.

"I hope you don't mind that I'm taking a swim too, Mr. Styles," Isabella said.

I shook my head. I didn't mind at all.

"I told you that you can call me Harry now, Isabella. It's okay. I think you really deserve it especially after everything you've done for me and Niall."

Isabella smiled then grabbed onto Niall and Gemma's hands. She began to pull them down the hall and they disappeared outside.

I had to admit that anyone touching Niall that wasn't me still bothered me. It's not like I didn't trust Isabella. I have tons of trust in her. It's just, Niall was mine. Only I could touch him even if it was just hand holding.

"Harry?"

I turned to face my mother.

"Sorry. Uh..." I rubbed the back of my head, "do continue with what you were going to ask me, please."

My mother linked her arm with me and we began to slowly head for the outdoor pool.

"You love him a lot, don't you?" she asked softly.

I almost laughed. Was it not obvious? Of course I loved Niall. I was absolutely crazy about him.

"Of course I do, mum. He's my everything," I opened the door to the backyard and we walked outside, "I am so madly in love with him..."

I closed the door just as I heard Gemma and Isabella scream; Niall had jumped into the pool and it had splashed them. I heard my mum giggle and I let out a little laugh as well. I led my mother over to some pool chairs and we sat down on them just as my sister and Isabella joined Niall in the water.

"Are you going to marry him?"

I was almost caught off guard by the question. Niall had said that he wanted to grow old with me. Adopt a kid with me. But never once, in the time that I was in jail, did the topic of "marriage" come up. Had I ever thought about it? To be completely honest, I hadn't and I wasn't sure if Niall had either.
