Chapter 47

Harry's POV

As soon as I turn off of Karleigh's street my phone starts to ring. My hand grabs for my phone out of the cup holder, and I place the phone against my ear.

"Harry!" My Mom chirps from the other end of the phone.

"Hi Mom."

"Don't forget that this weekend is the family reunion at your Grandma Martha's house, in Arlington." She reminds me, and I mentally scold myself for letting this family reunion slip my mind.

"Arlington, Texas?" I ask.

"No, Arlington, California. Really Harry, you act like you've never been to you Grandma Martha's house before." She scolds.

"I know, I know, I just forgot." I confess. Mom giggles and I roll my eyes.

"That's why I'm reminding you, I knew you'd forget. Anyways, you need to be there. Bring Karleigh, she's lovely." My Mom says before ending the call, without allowing another word from me.

That's one thing that drives me insane about my Mom, she hangs up after she's said everything she needs to. She couldn't care less about what I have to say, she just hangs up on me.

I wish she would've reminded me before I dropped Karleigh off, now I'm going to have to call her not even an hour after I've just seen her. She's probably going to think that I'm super clingy now that we're dating, when that isn't the case at all. Should I even invite her? She probably doesn't like family events, considering how much she hates her family.

Who am I kidding, I'm gonna invite her. I'll call her when I get home, she'd flip out if she knew I was driving and on the phone.

*************************************

Niall's still on the couch when I walk through the apartment door but this time Zayn in plopped down beside him.

"Hey mates." I greet the two of them. Niall feigns an expression of shock.

"Oh my goodness, harry it's you! Only you!" He cheers and I look confused. "This is the first time in forever, that I've seen to you without Karleigh glued to your hip." He teases and I punch his arm lightly.

"What's going on man?" Zayn asks and I shrug.

"I have a family reunion coming up, this weekend. You two should come again." Before my sentence was even over with they're already shaking their heads no.

"Hell no. Last year your creepy ass twin cousins wouldn't leave us alone." Niall groans and I chuckle. Zayn exaggerates a shiver at the mention of the memory.

I shrug, "Well I'm inviting Karleigh along this year."

Zayn smiles. "She was nice, and she's attractive. You did good Styles. It's been a while, we were all starting to think you'd lost your touch." He teases and I roll my eyes.

I walk up the stairs to my bedroom, and close the boor behind me. I dial up Karleigh's number, but I get her voicemail.

Moments later, my phone rings.

Karleigh's POV

Once I'm dry and dressed, I pad back to my bedroom and call Harry back. The phone rings and rings until finally a small click signals that someone has answered.

"Hello?" Harry's husky voice says.

"Hey, you called?" I ask.

"Yeah so, this weekend I have this thing in Arlington. It's a family reunion type thing, and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me." His question takes me by surprise and shocks me into silence. I don't know what to say as I gather my thoughts.

"Um? Is that allowed, like am I allowed to go to your family gathering?" I stutter.

"Course, that's why I'm inviting you." He chuckles. "You don't have to go, if you'll feel uncomfortable." He eases me

"No, no, no. I want to go, of course, I'll go." I insist.

"Great, well it's Saturday, you can ride with me cause it's about a twenty minute drive and I don't want you getting lost." He's jokingly serious.

"Alright, well I'll seen you then."

"See you, then." He says then hangs up.

Oh boy, I've never been good at the whole meet the family process.
