Out of Hand (One Direction/Harry)

Chapter 33: Mother What?

I wake up to the sound of car horn, feeling lost for a few seconds before remembering I'm on top of Daniel.

"Nice nap." He chuckles.

"My mom's here." I say and stand up to walk down the stairs.

I hear Daniel's steps behind me as I walk down the stairs and finally see my mother.

"Mother." I say to her.

"Daughter, come give me a hug." She's standing in front of the door. Wearing a black pencil skirt with a white tugged button down and a light brown coat. I make my way to her and wrap my arms around her. I inhale her perfume and I can feel her smelling mine.

"Daniel, have you been taking proper care of my daughter? You wouldn't like Franco being mad at you." She teases Daniel as he hugs her too.

"I have." He assures her.

"We'll have dinner in an hour, I'll organize my luggage meanwhile." My mother says and disappears inside her room.

"I'll leave, I don't want Marine to be mad." Daniel says.

"You can stay...." He interrupts me.

"It's okay we can do something tomorrow."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." I say, I don't want to beg him.

He grabs my hand and pulls me closer to him. "I love you." He brings his lips to mine.

"Me too." I say between his lips because I can't bear another moment of this numb feeling.

As soon as I close the door behind him and huge wave of relieve washes over my body. I really wish I could feel physical with him. But I just feel awkward now and it's annoying because this is such a big deal for relationships and I'm not a bit concerned about it. My mother, Oceane, Joan, and I have dinner together and we talk about my dad and about the constant trips they'll have to be doing because the company is expanding. Oceane brings up the car and my mother offers to pay a driver for us but we disagree because we don't want to seem like spoiled girls, she agrees on discussing it with my dad. Oceane brings up Zayn and my mother seems truly happy about their relationship even though she knows how much it hurt her to see him leave. I go to sleep right after dinner.

...

I wake up to my alarm and quickly shower. I cover my hickey and pull my hair to the side to cover it more. I decide to skip breakfast. Our mother offers to drive us and Oceane and I agree. When we arrive I make my way to my locker and everyone is idiotically looking at a sheet of paper, I ignore them. When I open my locker a paper falls out of it and I pick it up and realize why everyone is so surprised about it. It's the paper about the pairing up project. The paper says I was paired up with Lauren Hogern and I have absolutely no idea whom Lauren Hogern is. The paper also includes the locker number of the person and the due date for each project. I am not in the mood to look for this person so I go to class right away. I have to avoid Harry today, I don't know what I'll do about tutoring him, but I really don't want to hear him talk about how good it feels to touch me or whatever sexual comment he has to say that'll make me feel uncomfortable and hungry for him.

The first two periods are extremely annoying and slow. I have not been paying attention to class. The bells rings and I literally run to my locker, but my rush is stopped when I spot a mid-aged man about 6ft tall in front of my locker. I slow my walking to see if he notices me and moves away from my damn locker. He doesn't instead, he smiles at me and I try to remember this man, but I can't because I truly don't know who he is.

" You must be Raine." The man says and I don't answer. " I'm Harry's step-father." He extends his hand. His appearance comes like a shock to me and at the mention of Harry's name I start to get anxious. I pull my hair over my neck and then accept his handshake and he moves to a side. "I just came here because Harry's mother wanted me to personally thank you for tutoring him. We know he can be a little stiff, but we've been talking to his teachers and they are all pleased with the work he'a doing. We really appreciate your gesture since everything he's been through it's nice to know he's doing better."

What is he talking about?

"It's nothing really, I'm glad he's improving. I try my best." The bell rings before I can finish so I give him a small smile and rush to class.

When I get to Mr. Lee's class I search for Harry, but he's not here. I'm eager to know what he's been through. It's weird to think about him going through something because he seems so stiff and careless about everything. But is it really a good idea to ask him? I don't want to ruin whatever friendship we've developed. I hate this. The rest of the day is a blur and Harry probably didn't come to school because he wasn't with Daniel in recess. I make my way to my locker, and the girl from when Harry and I went surfing is standing in front of it.

"Do you need anything?" I ask nicely.

"Um, Raine, I'm Lauren, I'm your partner." How could I forget about her?

"Oh my God! Of course you are, so what should we do?" I ask her and she moves to the side so I can open my locker. The halls clearing by the second.

"I don't know, maybe we should get together soon and since the first one is easy we could do the second one and get it out of the way." 

"That's perfect, you can come over. Give me your number and I can text you." I offer.

"Sure." She says and the halls are now empty. People always rush outside, they do hate this place.

Lauren gives me her number and I make my way to the tutoring center to wait and see if Harry appears. After ten minutes of waiting, I receive a text from him.

I can't go to tutoring today I had to rush out of school. 

I'm sorry.

P.S. I wonder who gave you that bruise on your neck.

I blush at his text and pull my hair to the side to cover his mark once again. I call Zayn so he can drive me home.

"I'm walking to the parking lot, you better hurry." He says without letting me speak.

"I thought you were pissed." I start walking outside the library.

"I am." I can hear him open his car door.

"I really don't know what to tell you." I walk out to the parking lot and see him getting inside his car.

"Whatever, I'm over it." He says, way too calmed for Zayn but it's better that way. 

He drives me home and I text Harry back.

It's okay,

Your dad came to see me today.

P.S. I've been wondering that myself.

I can't believe I'm kind of flirting with Harry behind everyone's back. I have to admit it, at least to myself, I kind of like the rush it gives you.

When we get home I tell Zayn to come inside so he can say hello to my mother and he agrees. But for my surprise, that same six feet tall man I saw earlier is sitting on my living room couch with my mother and another women I yet do not recognize.
