Once in a lifetime

Chapter 34 Twist/Styles

They still had to wait for Harry's family, so Zayn offer them to walk around a bit to kill time or to go eat something. They agreed to take a walk, considering they had been sitting for hours on the plane. Zayn and Harry held hands and Harry grabbed the vase to carry it for Trisha and Zayn took Anne's.

Yaser and Trisha smiled at each other when they saw them. It was so easy for them to see the love Zayn felt for Harry in the way he looked at him, in the way he was holding his hand, in the way he listened to him and the same was for Harry, though. Any outsider, any person who didn't spend much time with them on daily basis just needed a quick look to tell they were truly gone for one another.

Trisha wanted to ask so many questions, but she thought so would Harry's mother, so she preferred to wait and asked them about more generic things. Faster than what they could realize, it was time for Harry's family to arrive. If the plane was not delayed which didn't seem to be, they should be getting there in around ten minutes.

"Darlings, do you prefer we wait at this restaurant, so you can introduce properly without us snooping around?" Trisha asked.

"Trisha don't say that. You are not snooping whatsoever, I'd love to have you there too if you want to."

"Exactly, mom. Just as Harry said, if you wanna be there it'd be fine. You're not intruding at all."

"I think you need a few minutes with your parents-in-law, son. You've never met her, you owe her that much, your undivided attention just like we had Harry's. If your baba agrees, we will wait here and then you can bring them and introduce us too."

"I agree with your mother, beta. It only seems right you welcome your boyfriend's family like he did with us. We can wait a bit, there's no problem." Zayn and Harry looked at each other and like a long-time married couple, with just one look they knew they agree. Zayn nodded and Harry replied.

"I appreciate this gesture you are having toward my parents and my sister. We will respect your wishes and we'll be back with them as soon as we can. I think you are gonna like each other a lot, considering."

"Right? I don't know Anne much, babe, but if she is any like my mom, they will be a pair to behold."

"We should be careful to not leave them alone, y'know? Seems dangerous." Yaser laughed aloud.

"If you only knew... Now, go before they arrive, and you are not there to greet them. We won't move from here. Harry, you can leave the vase here, beta. No need to carry it around, yeah?"

"Yes, sir. You're right. I'll put it here and we'll be back." Harry took Zayn's hand again and kissed it absently. "Ready, love? Time for me to make you shine." Harry said jokingly to Zayn.

"Don't you even think about it, Styles."

"Think about what, though?"

"Dunno, whatever is on your mind different to me normally meeting my family in law." Harry grinned and the Maliks just watched them interact, amused.

"Nothing crossed my mind, angel." Harry smirked mischievously.

"Shuddup, I know you, babe. And don't. Whatever you're thinking, don't." Zayn threated; half hearted. He knew Harry, and as much as he loved him, he had said a million times Harry was a shitty joker.

"To know you think so little of me...I've been hurt." Harry replied, still smirking.

"Harreh... We know each other, babe. I was good, yeah? You should be too." Zayn pouted.

"Oh shit, you know I can't say no when you make that face to me. Ugh. I need higher walls against it."

"No fucking walls between us, Haz. Not even for my secret weapon, I won't allow it."
