Everything About You

Chapter 19 - The Phone Call

It was Friday morning and the only thing on my mind was last night. Louis had walked me back to my dorm when we left the soccer pitch, our hands intertwined and both of us on a high.

When he had dropped me off and I got inside I had run down to Niall's room and jumped on top of him knowing that Zayn had left, squealing like a high schooler.

I had told him every single detail from the moment we were left at the grounds alone to the moment I stepped foot in his room. Now I just had to call Mum and Gemma and tell them the news.

I had decided not to go to todays lecture, I could just get the notes offline later. So I made my way to the kitchen to make a coffee because I was going to need it for this phone call. Mum and Gemma can get quite excited.

Once my coffee was made I walked back to my room and sat at my desk, propping my phone up in front of me. I took a deep breath before I clicked the FaceTime button on our group chat.

I waited a few moments for someone to pick up and surprisingly Gemma picked up first.

"Hey Gem." I smiled into the phone as she popped up on my screen.

"Hey H." She smiled back, moving around until she settled at her own desk.

"How have you been?" I asked her while we waited for Mum to answer, which I was surprised it was taking her so long.

"I'm alright. Drowning in uni work at the moment though." She rolled her eyes, sighing dramatically. "How are you?" She asked in return.

"I'm really good actually. Kinda the reason I wanted to talk to you and Mum." I beamed, not being able to hold back my smile.

We spoke for a couple more minutes and then Mum's face was popping up on my screen next to Gemma's.

"Hey Mum." Gemma and I greeted her at the same time.

"Hi my babies. Sorry I didn't answer right away, I was hanging out some washing." She smiled apologetically at the both of us.

"It's ok Mum, it's not a problem." I smiled reassuringly at her.

"Well. How are you both then?" She asked, taking a sip of what I could only guess was tea.

"I'm good Mum but H here seems to be bursting at the seems." Gemma giggles, covering her hand with her mouth to try and stop herself.

"So. What's the news then." She says, wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"So. You all know Louis right? And you all approved of whatever it was that we had going on when you spoke to him on the phone that time?" I asked, taking in their facial expressions as they took in what I was saying.

"Yes H. He was incredible, very kind and caring, wore his heart on his sleeve and not to mention extremely sassy." Gemma chuckled but I could see the glint of happiness in her eyes.

"I agree with everything Gemma just said. He's also very charming." Mum added on with a huge smile on her face.

"So. Last night we stayed behind after training, just the two of us and cut a long story short we kissed and then he asked me to be his boyfriend which I obviously said yes to and then we kissed some more." I beamed, not being able to hide the pure happiness that I was feeling right now.

"Oh my god Harry! No way." Gemma squealed, nearly deafening me and making me jump from my chair slightly.

"That's amazing news baby. As long as he makes you happy." Mum beamed, the smile on her face impossibly wide.

"He really does Mum. I'm so happy." I smile, my cheeks starting to hurt from all the smiling that I've been doing during this phone call.

We stayed on the phone for awhile because of course they needed all the details in full and wouldn't let me go anywhere until I gave them what they wanted.
