Old Rain. [h.s.]

Chapter 20.

Chapter 20:

I could faintly hear the birds chirping happily outside my window as they flew to fetch food for their chicks. I could smell the familiar scent of homemade croissants travelling throughout the house bringing back memories from my childhood. I opened my eyes slowly so see my old bedroom; the white room with a large window that was currently covered with white voil and my plump bed that enveloped me warmly into a deep sleep, smiling to myself, I got out of single bed and went downstairs to see my mum, happily cooking away in the kitchen.

"Morning mum" I kissed her on the cheek as she handed out the croissants for me, Jake and herself. She placed one each onto a plate, before handing one to me, and taking one for herself also. I turned to see a tired looking Jake, I laughed as he squinted begrudgingly due to the harsh light beaming through the open kitchen window.

"Morning Jake" he merely grunted in response, grabbing his breakfast and following me and mum into the living room to eat. Halfway through eating I decided to ask my mum about today, "Hey mum how would you feel about meeting Harry...properly?" she smiled and nodded her head eagerly - wanting to meet him properly this time. My mum is a very open and loving person, she accepts people for who they are and is lucky with what she has, even if its not a lot. I smiled at her, happy that she was so excited about it. Once we had eaten our breakfast I took all the plates into the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher hearing a 'thank you' from my mum, before I casually made my way back up the stairs and into my room; looking at my reflection thoughtfully, I decided I didn't need a shower and chose to get changed out of my T-shirt and shorts and into a high waisted skirt with a white of the shoulder top. After changing, I looked at my phone to see I had received a text from Harry.

Sexy Styles: Morning babe, hope you're okay! My mum said she is excited to meet you :') .xxx

I giggled and replied instantly.

Me: Morning! I'm very well :) I'm excited and nervous to meet her... My mum seems happy to meet you... again :D xxx.

Sexy Styles: Don't be nervous, she loves you! :) and it'll be my pleasure to see your mum again. I'm just getting in my car now, I'll see you in 5 minutes :D .xxx

Me: Okay hun :) xxx.

I left my phone on the side as I made my way down the stairs and back into the living room with a now fully dressed Jake who sat daydreaming on the couch, whilst my mum was on the other couch listening to the news. I plonked down beside my mum and smiled largely at her, she turned her head and smirked at me, "I like it when you're in this mood," she said as she flicked through the channels on the TV "you seem a lot happier! What's happened? Is it Harry? Did you sleep with him?" she raised her eyebrows at me prodding me for an answer, I gasped at her question.

"Mum! No. We just kissed." her eyes widened and a smile grew on her face before she giggled and bounced in her seat slightly.

"Ohhh! Tell me everything!" she emphasised the last word, resting her hands on mine as she looked at me, pressuring me for an answer. She reminded me of a teenage girl that was desperate to know the latest gossip. I sighed and gave in.

"Well, it was yesterday, he came looking for me at th-" I was interrupted by ringing of the doorbell as it resonated through the entire house. I smiled at my mum as she rolled her eyes and sighed, I guess she really wanted to know! I squeezed her hand in mine and winked at her, "I'll tell you later" she smiled and nodded as I got up to answer the front door.

The minute I swung the door open I was greeted with the most amazingly beautiful person I have ever seen in my entire life... Harry. His grin deepened exposing his adorable dimples as he looked at me, and I'm sure I looked the same, as he entered the house he closed the door behind himself, giving me a shy hello before wrapping his arms around my waist. His gentle touch created a spark that coarsed through my body, as it always does whenever we come into contact. I placed my hands around his neck and stood on my tip-toes attempting to stand at his height, he smiled at my lack of balance and pulled me closer into him, leaving our faces inches apart. I stared at his lips and began to close the gap between us until I swerved abruptly pressing my lips to his cheek. He smirked at me in defeat and shook his head, "such a tease" he whispered. I responded by winking at him and pulling him into the living room to see my mum and Jake.
