Harry's POV:

Jesus fucking christ. My heart was still pounding when she got dressed and lied down on my bed. I love this girl, I love her more than I've ever loved anything.

And she loves me, I think that's the best part.

I smile at her lying on my bed but she is busy reading a book she found on my desk. I observe her every movement,the way her eyes trace the page and how the corner of her mouth peaks up when she is satisfied with what's she reading.

I lie next to her and cross my arms behind my head, but she continues reading. I lie there for a few moments until I sit up and look at the clock. It's nearly seven and she had to promise my mother we would eat with them. Good thing she has clothes here because if we left there's no way I would come back.

She changes infront of me. I love how comfertable she has gotten with me, I remember when she wouldn't let me see her under a coat.

She puts on a light pink dress that looks amazing on her. I put on some black jeans and a button down shirt. She gives me a strange look but I shrug it off.

"Let's go have fun!" She smiles.

I glare at her and roll my eyes as I open the door and we go downstairs.

This is too fucking much like christmas. But things are a little different now, i'm not exactly on good terms with my family, but they support me going to NYU.

We go downstairs and are the last to be seated at the dinner table. To my left is Aspen, then at both ends of the table are my parents. To my right is Tom, and his girlfriend, then next to him is charles. Across from us is William, and his wife, and kid. I realize the kid looks a lot bigger now, he's maybe two or three? His name is Graham. He's actually pretty smart, or so i've heard. God I'm a shit uncle.

"Aspen how are you liking the hamptons?" My mother asks.

"It's amazing, I love it." She smiles politely. I put my hand on her bare thigh under the table and I can feel her goosebumps on my fingertips.

"Aspen's going to Columbia." I blurt out. And smirk as my mother's eyes widen.

"That's great." My father says, looking at me. I know he can tell I'm testing her but I simply don't care.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Aspen says, a smile plastered on her face.

"I went to Columbia." William's wife, Meg, chimes in, "You'll love it."

"Where is Harry going?" Graham chimes in, I can barely understand the kid.

"He's going to NYU." My mother says, with an obnoxious baby voice.

I look at the small kid across from me. He has his whole life ahead of him to do whatever the hell he wants.

I look at Aspen, and think of how we have our whole life ahead of us too. And that thought scares me.

Aspen's POV:

After dinner is finished, I help clean in the kitchen. I am washing dishes when Meg, Williams wife approaches me.

I tense up and she realizes, laughing slightly.

"I don't think we've really met, I'm Meg." She smiles.

"I'm Aspen." I smile back.

"Don't let Mrs. Styles scare you, there's alot more to her than you think." She says.

"Really?" I say, actually surprised, I just thought she was a cold hearted bitch.

"Yeah, I knew the Styles since we lived in England together, I can't believe Will convinced me to move out here," she says, seeming like she meant to say it to herself rather than to me, "but I thought she despised me for years, then one day she just flipped." She said smiling.
