17: Meeting Harry's family

After having coffee with Leah, she drops me off back home and Harry yells hi from the couch. I go into the living room, where he's lying on the couch scrolling through stuff on his phone.

"They love you, An." He says. I plop down on the couch next to him and give him a kiss.

"Who?"

"The fans. The press. Everyone." He shows me the tweets he's reading. They're all from people who either say they feel sorry for me or that they're really excited to watch my videos.

"These are just a couple. There are loads more."

"It's insane. So crazy that all these people want to watch my life."

"You're still going to do it?"

"Yeah. Leah talked me into it. She said that I should do it for myself, if I like doing it."

"She's right. How was she?"

"She was fine. We had a really good time. Can't believe she's with Josh now."

"Oh, right, the guy from high school. He's a really good guy."

"You met him?"

"Of course. We go on double dates sometimes."

"That sounds like fun. Hey, are you okay with being in my vlogs?" I ask him.

"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?" He looks at me, frowning.

"I don't know, your life is already so out there."

"Yeah, but I want to do it for you. If you're going to be filming your life, then I guess I'm going to be in it."

I smile widely and then we lean in. The second his lips touch mine, it's like electric shocks are going right through my body. He strokes my cheek and jawline with his thumb, and I run my hands through his hair. Then we pull away. I lay my hand on his shoulder and he starts scrolling his twitter feed again, and I read along.

"Mind if I film now?" I ask him.

"Sure." He says and I grab the camera and turn it on.

"I just came home from the café with Leah, and now I'm just chilling on the couch with Harry," I lift the camera a bit so he's in the shot and then I lay my head back on his shoulder, so that we both fit in the shot. "And we're reading all of your lovely tweets. I didn't really expect so many people to watch my first video, but I guess it's great. This thing is going to be great. I hope I'm not too bad at vlogging." I chuckle. Then I turn the camera off again.

"My mom called this morning." Harry says after a while. "She asked if we wanted to come over this weekend. My sister's going to be home too." He looks at me, a questioning look in his eyes.

"Okay, that would be nice, right?"

He looks relieved. "Yeah, if you're okay with it. I told her I'd ask you first."

"I'm fine. Let's go. It would be good for you to see your family, and they obviously care about me so I think it's a good idea."

"Do you? 'Cause we don't have to go if you're not ready."

"I'm ready. I've been ready to meet your family since the fangirling days, honestly."

He lets out a laugh and my cheeks flush. "Great, I'll call her." He says. He grabs his phone and dials his mum's number.

"Hi, mom. I just wanted to let you know that we're coming over on Saturday, if that's still okay. Yeah, she is. Can't wait to see you either. Love you! Bye mom!"
