Ellie
"You look great, stop worrying." Harry's hand was on my lower back as we walked up the steps to his aunts house.
"Harry, wait." I ran a hand through my loosely curled hair and sighed. Harry's lips met mine and I stepped back, not expecting it.
"You, look amazing." He smiled and I looked down, a shy grin on my face. I had slipped on a beige, knit sweater dress and thigh high black heels, accompanied by a small clutch.
I intertwined my hand with his and smiled. "Ready?" Harry barely waited for an answer before pushing the door open.
I heard footsteps come down the hall and saw a beautiful woman round the corner.
"Oh, Harold!" The lady grabbed his cheeks and kissed them, pulling him into a hug.
"Hey, mum, I've missed you." She gave him a warm smile.
"I've missed you too, honey." She turned to look at me and I smiled politely.
"Hi, I'm Ellie, nice to meet you." I put my hand out but she pulled me into a hug and we both let out a laugh.
"I'm Anne, you are even more beautiful than Harry could explain." My cheeks grew slightly heated and I glanced at him, as another lady approached him and they shared a hug.
"Thank you, you're so pretty!" I exclaimed. She hushed me and turned to Harry.
"Hi, I'm Harry's aunt, Valerie. It's so nice to meet you!" She hugged me and I smiled, hugging her back.
"Pleased to meet you, thank you for having me," I followed as Harry took his shoes off.
His aunt waved me off with a smile and told us to take a seat in the living room.
I followed Harry and once we sat down, his hand automatically found its way to my leg.
"Is gem coming?" Harry's voice filled the quiet room. His mom nodded slowly, looking up from her phone.
"She'll be here in the next half hour," her eyes lit up and she gushed. "I can't wait to have both my babies in the same place." Harry rolled his eyes.
I smiled and he squeezed my leg. "I'm going to show Ellie around, is that alright, aunt Valerie?" She took a sip of her wine and nodded.
"Of course!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "No se-" Harry coughed loudly and she stopped, laughing.
"I'm serious!" She laughed loudly. I blushed and Harry scowled, pulling me with him.
"I'm sorry, Ellie," I shrugged and smiled.
"It's fine Harry, I don't care."
Harry showed me the whole bottom floor and I was shocked at how gorgeous the house was. I followed him upstairs and he pulled me into what looked like a child's room and closed the door.
"What's this room?" I asked, looking around.
Harry pushed his lips to mine and I stepped back, kissing him back. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him into me, making him smile. "Someone's greedy," he breathed out.
"Says the one who pulled me in here to make out." I argued back and kissed him again.
"Fine," he kissed my neck, "you win."
He kissed my neck over and over again until I pulled away. "It's been a while and everyone's probably wondering where we are." I pointed out but Harry's didn't seem to care. I pulled away as soon as his hands reached the bottom of my dress.
"Come on," he groaned and I bit my lip, smiling.
"Let's go," I pulled his shirt and he dragged his feet behind me.
"What a tease," he pulled my hair and kissed the side of my neck.
"Harry," I laughed, "stop." I pulled the door open and started to make my way downstairs. Harry soon joined beside me and held my hand, kissing my knuckles.
"What took so long?" His mom asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"I was showing her the family photos in Charlie's room." I nodded and his mom smiled.
"Those photos turned out great," she trailed off and took some frozen Palm Bay packs out of the freezer.
"Ellie?" She held one up for me and I began to decline the offer, not wanting them to think I drink a lot.
"Honey, I don't mind if you have a few drinks." She assured me and I looked to Harry, who was pouring himself a drink.
"Sure, then, thank you." I took it from her and she passed me a straw. I stuck it in the top pocket and took a sip, sighing, this would help with meeting Harry's sister.

"No way!" I yelled and Harry nodded, laughing along with everyone else. I smiled and shook my head.
Harry was telling me about how he had once stolen his moms car and crashed it.
"Harry was a brat child, I'm telling you," Gemma told me and passed me another shot.
"Gem, give her a break, that's the third shot in ten minutes." Their mom pushed her arm slightly and Harry stepped in.
"Mum, she isn't a lightweight, trust me." He put an arm around my waist and I hit his arm.
"Harry," I mumbled and he ruffled my hair.
"3, 2, 1, bottoms up!" Gemma cheered and I poured the shot into my mouth. We have been sitting in the back yard with a fire going for the past 3 hours and it was only now I realized it was one in the morning.
I placed the shot glass on the table and made a sour face. "Alright Ellie, tell us about the first time you were drunk," Gemma said, pushing me slightly.
"Are you serious?" I asked, laughing. Everyone agreed and Harry kept telling me to tell him.
"Okay, so, I went to my family friends New Years party, I was 16. My dad was letting me drink only a little bit and my best friend was there and she was really drunk and convinced me to get drunk. I drank a lot of vodka and tried to hide from my dad, but he saw me and took me home," I breathed out and we all started laughing.
I shook my head at the memory. I would have never told that story if I was sober, or even tipsy, but right now, I was flat out drunk. Harry's mom, sister and aunt were all drunk as well, so I didn't feel as bad.
I leaned into Harry and his grasp tightened. "Are you alright there, love?" He pressed his lips to my temple and I nodded, telling him I was ready to drive home.
"To hell you're driving," he chuckled, making me make a face at him.
"To hell either of you are driving, stay in the guest room." His aunt offered and Harry agreed politely.
Harry and I soon went upstairs after I had fallen twice, making him hold all of my weight up.
I fell onto the bed and my eyes drooped closed. "Goodnight princess," I heard him whisper quietly before my eyes drifted shut.
Not a good chapter but the next one will be xoxo
