Glass Wall

Chapter 63

"Juliette please get the decorations from the garage!" My mother calls to me from the kitchen.

"Okay." I answer walking outside to my garage.

I pick up the huge garbage bag full to the point where it could explode if even just another pin is put in the bag. I lug it into the house and go back a couple of times for the big boxes. Just as I bring the last box in I see Harry pull up in my driveway. He hops out and smiles as he notices me in the doorway.

"You couldn't have come any earlier!" I tease even though I'm half serious. I could've used his help with all these boxes.

Harry chuckles and walks up to me kissing my cheek.

"Merry Christmas to you too." He says sarcastically. I laugh and hit his arm before walking in the house. Harry trails close behind and closes the door.

"Honey can-"

My mum walks in the room and immediately stops talking when she sees Harry.

"Harry dear! So glad you came. Why don't you help Juliette decorate. I'll come and help once I finish up in the kitchen."

"Sounds good." Harry says while wrapping an arm around my waist.

Once my mum goes back in the kitchen I look up at Harry.

"You know you could've came after the decorating is done and when everyone else arrives."

"That's no fun. Decorating is one of the best parts."

I laugh as we head in the living room. I carry a box as Harry carries one as well.

"There's going to be a lot of people here." I say once I put down the box I was holding.

Harry smiles and nods. I look at him with concern.

"You're okay with that right? I mean if you don't like that... because they might be overwhelming you know with questions and-"

"It's fine angel." He goes silent before looking up at me.

"I... I don't really mind." He explains giving me a small smile. "I'm looking forward to meeting your family."

I smile and open the boxes laying out all the decorations. We set up placemats and Christmas plates in the dining room as well as lights. Once finished my mum lets us relax until the rest of the family arrives.

Family from my mum and dad's side come to our house for Christmas. We have a family dinner and open presents. It's an annual event and I look forward to it every year.

I sit on the couch with my legs sprawled out across Harry's lap. I wear leggings with a corny Christmas sweater. Harry wears black jeans with a white tank top and a light blue button up shirt. His hair is pushed back away from his forehead and he wears a chain around his neck. He looks extremely attractive because he's dressed nicely for the event. To me... he looks even sexy.

Hey, I can't help it.

"So tell me about the family coming." Harry says while running his hand across my shins.

"Well my mum has a sister and a brother who are both married. They have children. So my aunt has two daughters. One is three and the other is five. My uncle is the oldest so he has a daughter that's twenty-five and a son that's twenty-eight."

"Uh oh."

I laugh at his face at the mention of my cousin being twenty eight.

"Ya watch it he's buff." I say winking.

"Anyways, my dad has two brothers. One brother has an eleven year old son and a fifteen year old daughter who has quite the attitude. You know the age when nothing is cool enough? Ya well she's at that stage."
