The Way Things Change

Chapter 45

*Harry's POV*

I don't know what my mother had said to Kate, but it worked. After they returned, she seemed more relaxed.

Mum and I had gone to get Gemma at her graduation and we went out for a celebrating dinner with Robin and Kate joining us. I think they really bonded. Kate and Gemma that is. They wouldn't stop talking. I told her she had nothing to worry about. I was right.

We had almost been official for 4 months now. It was really weird, this, having a long term relationship. I'd had so many flings, nothing serious and now I was actually in a relationship. And we still hadn't had sex! Damn it was frustrating. Hey, don't judge me. I'm a guy. I have needs. And it's been more than 6 months since last time! That's torture! I NEED some pressure relief. And soon! I talked to Louis about it, but since Kate has been trough all that stuff, I can understand she's not ready yet. It just sucks for me. Especially when she is so damn hot! And that was while wearing clothes. Just imagine her without. No don't, that's gonna make it even harder.

We had almost done it a couple of times, so I had seen something. Well I had seen her in a bra, but we had never gotten to the point where I was allowed to take her pants off. It was so frustrating! I really hoped tonight would change that.

I was taking her out on a date tonight. She was upstairs getting ready, with Gemma as stylist or something. Well Gemma was helping her, that's all I knew. Everything was set for tonight, made it special in the bungalow, just in case. I was grateful that mum let us sleep there, then we wouldn't disturb any of them if we got home late or... well you know. I must seem really horny now. To be honest, I am. Again don't blame me. But I'm not going to force or push her. I really love her, it's not just something I said. And I know it will be worth the wait. Okay hope. Never mind. But I just really hoped she would be ready now, tonight. She had finally said it back to me, maybe that was a sign that she was ready? I don't know.

I was pacing back and forth in the hallway. I was really nervous. She should be ready by now. I started straightening my clothes, suddenly feeling insecure of my outfit choice. What did she do to me? I had never been insecure like this before.

"Harry, stop doing that!" my mum looked sternly at me, standing in the doorway.

"What?" I was confused. What did she mean? Shouldn't I try to look my best or?

"Stop cracking your knuckles! That really is an awful sound" she came over and took my hands in hers.

"She really is a lovely girl Harry!" My mum looked me in the eyes, her face lit up in a smile. To hear her say that meant a lot. Especially since I really loved this girl. I had fallen completely and utterly for her. It was crazy that 6 months ago I was considered 'the player' of our group, and now I was in a committed relationship.

"Yeah I know Mum." I sighed. The boys had teased me about being whipped, but that didn't matter. I know it was just for fun. And hey, they were too in their relationships, so they could suck it.

"Then don't go fuck it up!" My mum said sternly. I looked at her surprised and shocked. I hadn't expected her to said that, let alone curse. My mouth fell open. I was gob smacked. I didn't know what to say.
