I stretched as I got out of bed for the morning and walked into the closet, trying to figure out what to wear. Should I wear a dress or something casual? "hmmmm Casual it is " I took the outfit out of the closet and placed it on the bed with a smile. After I got the outfit on I went and made the bed quickly and moved to the curtain pulling them back. I then walked out of the room and went down to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. I saw that a pot had already been made and waiting for me.
I saw the note beside it and saw that it was from Harry. 'Have a few things to take of be back by the time your brother gets there. Love Harry' I grinned as I made me a cup to start my day I took a sip and sighed in content as I moved to the living room of the cottage pulling one of the curtains back with one hand and looking outside. I saw Will outside having a morning stroll with his father and looked to the window and wave lightly towards me.
I wave back with a sisterly smile on my face as I turned from the window, I walked to the couch and plop down. I grabbed the remote that turned on the stereo that was in the room and turned it on. I moved my head to the music and got to my feet and walked back upstairs, knowing I had left my phone up there. As soon as I walked into the bedroom it buzzed and I went to my side of the bed and grabbed it. I unlocked the phone and saw that it was text from Tess saying. 'Hey-o sister-o how was your morning?' I giggled at the text as I headed back downstairs and plopping back onto the couch.
'it's well just waiting for Harry to get back you guys to get here.' I sent and placed the phone back down for a moment. I leaned back into the couch cushions and thought how lucky I was, I stood up from the couch and walked back into the kitchen to refill my cup of coffee since the last one had gotten cold without my knowing. As I was making my cup I was swaying to the music and didn't even hear the front door opening and closing as I was busy.
"I see that you found my note Love." came his voice in the arch way and I turned that way with a smile.
"Yes I did see it, how come you didn't wake me?" I asked coming to him and planting a kiss to his bearded cheek. He wrapped an arm around my waist, mindful of the cup that was in my hand. He kissed my forehead and chuckled as I leaned into it.
"Wanted let you sleep Darling." he replied allowing me to take a sip of the warm liquid in my mug. "so when is your family arriving?"
"hmm sometime around noon." I say walking to the living room once more and sitting on the couch placing my mug of coffee on the coffee table. I picked up my phone and saw that Tess had texted me back. 'On our way, so excited to see you!'
'Don't you text and drive!' I sent with a slight frown.
'Hey I'm not driving Tom is ;p ' she had replied and I sighed in relief. "they're on their way now." I say to Harry as he came to the couch and sat next to me.
"Did I tell you; you look nice today." he said with a smile as I grabbed my coffee once more. I smiled as I placed my legs onto his lap.
"thank you babe, it's the hottest thing going for me at least" I saying jokingly. Twenty minutes later there was a knock and footman had told us they were here and as we reached the door, I was pulled into a hug by Joshua.
"I've missed you and glad to see that you're doing well." he said still embracing me tightly to him. I clung to him and buried my face into his shoulder.
"I missed you too Joshy." I say and I felt him chuckle at the nickname. I pulled away from him and got a good look at him and saw that he was doing good. "Marissa you have taken good care of him, like always"
"Well he is mine" she said jokingly to me and I laughed as I guided them to the living where I plopped myself back down on the sofa. Harry only laughed as he took a seat, the others followed suit.
"I'd like to say I'm glad to have met the two of you, I'm Harry." Harry states taking out a hand for Josh to shake, which Josh took and gave a firm shake.
"I'm Joshua and this is my wife Marissa." Josh greeted. Harry then moved to shake Marissa hand and then sat down himself. Josh talked about how the kids where doing and how they had wanted to come, especially Heather. "we simply told her school was too important to miss."
"Yes, and that she'd have ample time to meet you" Marissa said giving Harry a small smile. Harry only chuckled.
"The news cast of BBC especially Herman Holt is giving you tons of criticism on your fashion choices." Tess points out annoyingly. I sighed and nodded as I put my hands together.
"Thing is the clothes I picked are highly appropriate. I don't get why he doesn't just stop there." I say. Harry found my hands and laid a comforting hand on top of them.
"Your just the new topic to talk about right now, I'm sure they'll leave you two well enough alone soon." Tom said and Harry had to agree to that.
"Besides alot of the people here, adore you and that something to be proud of." Marissa points out. "read that in a article. " I smiled at that comment, but nothing else. Soon the topic was changed soon we were talking about wedding details and soon the topic was changed once more about some charity ideas Tess and Tom had been thinking of doing.
"What about a Karaoke Charity?" Harry put up I watched Tess's face light up at the idea. I knew Harry had her hooked, line and sinker. The two of them talked it out while Josh turned to me.
"Have you been outside any during Christmas?" he asked knowing that being outside during that time was how I coped with Dad being gone.
"Ah yes I did and Harry had a search party looking for me" I say with a giggle and Harry leaned with a raised brow.
"only because you were no where in sight." he defended himself.
"That sounds like Sarabelle, she was known to do that" Josh said with a chuckle. They all laughed at that point and after another hour of visiting Harry and I said our farewells to them as they left. I turned to Harry as I watched go for his jacket and mine and I knew our first event together was today.
"Is it that time already?" I asked letting him put the jacket on, he nodded and went for the front door. "Harry are you sure, what I'm wearing is appropriate?"
"It is Sari come on, we'll be late" he coaxed and I followed taking the steps one at a time. As we got into the car I wondered if I was going to be alright with Charity events and all the other things that came with the relationship.
