Between The Lines

Chapter 17

After spending another two hours at the mall, we all decided to leave.

I told Harry that I would be over after I dropped Rebecca off, but Niall offered to instead. They must've really hit it off during lunch.

"I still need to get some things from my apartment." I whisper to Harry. He nods. "Okay."

We drive to my apartment, making small talk about what we've been up to lately.

"You want to come up?" I ask Harry.

"No, I'll stay down here in the car."

I walk up to my apartment and take a small duffle bag out of my closet along with a couple shirts.

I take a few pairs of jeans out of my dresser and put them in the bag with some underwear and bras.

I run into the bathroom and grab my make-up bag and make my way back down to Harry's car.

"Ready?" He smiles.

"Mmhm." I nod.

We park in front of Harry's building and take the elevator up to his apartment.

"I went to see your mom the other day." He says.

"You did?" I ask, a little surprised.

"Yeah, she asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner with her." He continues.

"Did you?"

We step out of the elevator and start down the hall toward his door.

"Mhhm." He nods. "We went to Golden Corral."

I smile at the thought of Harry and my mom sitting together, eating dinner.

"What?" He laughs.

I shake my head. "Nothing I just can't picture you eating dinner with my mom."

"Well, believe it." He smiles, unlocking the door and stepping inside.

"I'm kind of surprised she likes you so much." I tell him.

"Why?" He asks.

"Where should I put this?" I hold up my bag and he points down the hall.

"Second door on the left."

I take my bag to his room and return to the living room. "I don't know... she just normally doesn't like my boyfriends."

"Boyfriend?" He smirks.

"Or, y-you know what I mean..." I stutter.

He nods. "I know you consider me your boyfriend."

"You don't consider me your girlfriend?" I ask.

He comes a little closer to me and leans into my face.

"Never said that." He says softly, brushing a stray hair behind me ear.

I can't help but give him a smile and a small peck him on the cheek.

"Wanna watch a movie?" He bends down in front of a small movie cabinet and I take a seat next to him.

"What do you have?" I ask, browsing over the rows of movies.

"Hmm... How about Cry Baby?" I suggest.

"Sure." He shrugs.

I take the movie out of the case and pop it into the DVD player. Harry sits down on the couch and I tell him I'm going to get dressed.

I walk into his bedroom and unzip my bag. I take out my shorts and an oversized T-shirt and put them on.

I walk back out to the living room and join Harry on the couch.

"Want some popcorn?" He asks.

"Yeah." I nod. I start to get up but Harry pulls me back down. He wraps his arms around my waist and plants small kisses around me neck.

"I got it, princess." He whispers.

I watch Harry make his way to the kitchen before getting up to join him.

I take the popcorn bag from his hand and pop open the microwave door. I put the bag in the microwave and turn to Harry.

"I got it." I smile.

He laughs and wraps his arms around me again. "Harry!" I squeal as his props me up on the counter. He inches closer to my face and kisses my cheek. I turn my head so our lips touch. His tongue swipes across my lower lip and I bite it lightly.

The microwave beeping interrupts our make-out sesh.

"Popcorn's done." I laugh.

Harry turns to the microwave to take out the popcorn and takes my hand in his.

"Let's go watch this movie..." He groans.

"Maybe we'll continue later." I wink and he grins.
