Harry's POV

"This is so good!" I could hear the smile in her voice as she sipped her hot coco. "I am so happy this drink is seasonal, or I would have three everyday," she laughed at herself and set her cup down.

"You're so cute," I smiled at her. She was wearing a burnt orange oversized sweater and black leggings. Her nose and cheeks were red from the cold and I recalled her briefly mentioning winter was her favorite season because she gets to wear fur coats.

"I'm so nervous," she shook her hands around like she had water on them. Or like she had just touched something hot perhaps.

"They'll love you, I swear. Not only do I swear I put our pinkys on it," I held out my pinky finger to make her a promise.

"Okay," she wrapped hers around mine and payed back down on the couch. "What time will they be here?" She asked as my door unlocked.

"Now," I smiled as she sat upright immediately. She looked panicked but pleasant as my mother and sister entered my apartment.

"Hello I'm Ana," she stood giving my mother her hand and kissing her cheek. She repeated with my sister.

"Cute," Gemma smiled giving me a hug. "I heard you've been in London for awhile now and we are just now getting an invite."

"Well I have been busy. I had five photo shoots back to back. It wouldn't be fair if I hadn't given you guys all of my attention," I smiled warmly at her as my mother gave me a kiss.

"So, Ana, what brings you across seas? Work?" My mother asked sitting down on the sofa.

"No, actually I have been wanting to meet you guys. I was off for a week and Harry had to be here so I figured I would come too," she said shyly taking a sip of her hot coco.

"Very passive aggressive," I teased her as she threw a throw pillow at me. "So ladies what movie are we going to be watching tonight?"

"Home Alone!" Gemma and Ana said at the same time and laughed at each other.

"I know it's only November but it's my favorite," Ana said smiling at Gemma.

"Same, I mean there's snow on the ground so it is okay for us to want to watch," they continued their conversation as my mother started to search for Home Alone in my DVD collection.

"So this is the girl you met when you were in Africa right?" My mom asked me as the girls found other things to talk about.

"Yes, she's amazing eh?" I said sitting down next to mum.

"She's wonderful. It's been a year since you've been in Africa, why are you just now bringing her home?" She asked running her fingers through my hair.

"She's really busy and sheltered. I wanted to bring here the moment she got out of her car in Africa," I said nervously, watching Ana across the room pulling her legs into her chest. "She's been through a lot and gets really nervous and overwhelmed when I bring it up. So I waited for her to initiate it." Ana's head was thrown back from laughter and my sister looked over at us and smiled.

"Oh my sweet boy, you've turned out to be a wonderful man," my mum laid her hair on my shoulder as I pressed play to start the film.

"That was so nerve wrecking, but Gemma oh my I can't wait to see her tomorrow!" Ana said after my family left.

"You'll see her tomorrow?" I asked raising an eyebrow. She nodded and took a bite of her cookie. "Mum loves you, and your accent," I laughed at her. Every time I brought up the fact she has an accent while we are in England and how I have an accent when we are in the states amused her dearly.
