Blast From The Past 2 - [Harry Styles]

26. "Don't remind me."

Katie’s POV

November is here, Take Me Home tour is over. The last month flew by so quickly. We just came back from touring Australia, New Zealand and Japan. We came home to cloudy and rainy London. I can’t believe they’re finally leaving us alone. It felt really weird for the last couple of days, because no one was interfering with our lives.

Harry finally got the chance to introduce me to his family. He kept telling me how much he wanted me to meet his mom, step dad and sister. I was a little bit scared. I didn’t know how they would accept me. I was mostly afraid because I’ve never even met them and I’m already engaged to Harry. My heart was about to jump out of my chest, I haven’t been this nervous quite some time.

We pulled up to his home. I was completely terrified. We entered the house. Harry immediately walked up to his mom, who was in the kitchen, preparing lunch, and hugged her.

“Hi mom. I missed you. This is Katie.”

“Hey.” I said and extended my arm for a handshake.

She smiled and welcomed me in her home. She looked excited.

“My little boy is already engaged. Oh, you’re growing up so fast.” she said and pinched his cheeks.

“Little? I’m 19 years old.” He smiled at her.

“I admire you for withstanding all that pressure.” Anne said.

“I’m surprised myself.” I added.

Lunch was on the table. Gemma and Robin arrived home at that time and also gave me a warm welcome. Looks like kindness runs in the family. They’ve all grown on me, even though I’ve known them for only a few moments. But first impression is always very important for me.

Harry’s POV

We spent the next five days with my family. I could finally see them after a long time and it meant a lot to me. I was even happier, because they got along with Katie really nicely. Actually, I knew they would, but still…

The week flew by quickly and it was soon time for us to return to London. Me and Katie.

We sat in the car, said goodbye to my family and drove towards London. Our first song What Makes You Beautiful just came on the radio. It’s still weird hearing myself on the radio. I think I still can’t fully grasp what we’ve achieved in life. Over two years passed since we released this single. How time flies. I don’t even wanna think about this. This is definitely the best time of my life.   

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell …"

I started singing automatically when it was time for my solo.

“Are you singing to me?” she laughed and tapped me on my knee.

“I don’t see anyone else in the car.”

“Do you remember when you had to sing this song on the Red or Black show? You were so nervous to sing your solo live for the first time.”

“Don’t remind me.”

“I watched the show on television. I felt so bad for you, when I noticed you were shaking. I didn’t even dream about meeting you in real life, let alone...”

“Being engaged to me.” I finished her sentence.
