Apex- AU HS FANFIC

Chapter 19

I had my hand intertwined in Harry's as he drove, I was sitting criss cross applesauce in the passenger seat with his hand over my thighs. 

He pulled into the Starbucks drive thru, paying for the hot chocolate which I turned to my mom who offered to pay. 

"If he doesn't even let me pay for my own lunch I doubt he'll let you pay for your own coco." I said and she laughed softly, shaking her head. She was observing the nature of our relationship. 

"Babe." I hummed leaning with my elbows on the center console. "Yes?" He turned over to look at me after ordering two cocos, deciding I would share with him. 

"Guess what." I was giggling excitedly and he just stared at me. "No." "But you haven't even heard what I was going to say." 

"Okay. I have a pretty good idea what you're going to say and the answer is no." "But-" "No. I don't understand what made you think I would say yes." "Because I'm cute. Look." I batted my eyelashes as I stared at him, he laughed and shook his head. 

"You are. You really are cute, baby. But no." He was squeezing my face between one of his hands. "What does she want?" "Go to the park." Harry said when I did, his hand still gripping my face. 

"Grace, it's about to be midnight. No." My mom chuckled softly and Harry widened his eyes at me. 

"You're so mean to me." I pouted trying to escape but Harry only unbuckled his seatbelt after pulling up to the window to reach over and put my seatbelt on quickly, pecking my lips then released my face.

"Stop taking your seatbelt off." He warned and I waited for him to turn when the cashier asked him for the money to click the red button, biting my lip as I tried quietly to have freedom. 

"Goddamnit." Harry groaned, turning around towards me quickly to put my seatbelt on, he grabbed my face again and tilted his head. 

"Stop." He warned and I giggled as he used his free hand to click my seatbelt back on, I tried to take it off again but he just smirked. 

"Do you value your life?" 

"No." 

"Obviously. I'm about to kick your ass." 

"Do it." I laughed at him and he broke out into fits of laughter, turning to answer to lady with our drinks. 

"It's not nice to abuse women." She spat and Harry rolled his eyes. "Why would I abuse my girlfriend? We're playing. Her mother is in the backseat so kindly mind your own goddamn business." He grabbed the drinks before driving off and shook his head as he used one hand to put on his seatbelt. 

"You're really rude." I commented as I handed my mom her drink, she thanked me. She was smiling at us for a while now. "I wasn't being rude, baby. I don't like when people comment about you. You know I wouldn't lay a hand on you, right?" He turned to look at me, his hand reached for mine. 

"Yeah I know." 

"So it bugged me. I wouldn't do that." He just rolled his eyes when I laid in my seat. 

"Does she always sit with her feet on your seat?" My mom asked and Harry laughed, turning to give her a lopsided grin at the stop light. 

"You have no idea. I really don't care though, it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is she takes off her seatbelt to get in some weird positions. God you should see her when Drake comes on the radio." Harry laughed as I giggled. 

"She loves Drake." 

"I'm well aware. She's a bit obsessive." He checked his phone to see Josh had said it was good to go home so we did. I put the cup down slowly after burning myself hoping Harry didn't see. 

"I saw you burn yourself." He warned me and I groaned letting out my strings of profanities of burning my tongue. 

"Hold on, wait here. I gotta go see if you guys are safe to go in." He left us in the car and I turned back to look at my mom. 

"I like him." My mom said as I climbed into the backseat. "I do too. I don't know mom. I think I might be in love with him but it's like super duper early to tell him and I don't want to tell him and him be like." I paused and did Harry's voice in a deep british tone, "Yo, what the fuck this bitch is crazy." I said and she laughed at me. "I don't want to be crazy, you know? I'll wait for him to tell me when he's ready, if he's ready and I'll be all like no way dude, I do too, ya feel?" I rambled and she bursted into a fit of laughter. 

"You're crazy. That boy is crazy about you like a kid about candy. He just don't know it yet. I'll tell Josh about my feelings towards them. He's gained the ability to sleep over if he's up for it." 

"Ability? Like a superhero?" I asked, humming as I danced in the seat. 

"No, idiota. Like the privilege. Are you guys serious?" 

"Yeah seriously stupid." 

"You're an idiot." My mom laughed, shaking her head as Harry came out the house. 

"I don't know if we are. It feels serious but then again we've only been together 2 days. I'll keep you filled in home skillet." I fist bumped my mom who just laughed at me. My mother was more like a best friend, we had an open relationship and I absolutely adored her and her ability to be resilient against everything life throws at her. 

"Come on." Harry opened the driver's seat door to get the keys out, seeing I had moved which made him roll his eyes, opening my door for me. 

"We had girl talk." "About?" He raised an eyebrow as he shut the door, opening my mom's door. "You. How much of a dork you are. The casual." I smiled at him as I got out and he rolled his eyes. 

"You're such a dweeb. I gotta head home in a minute but I did want to make sure you ate before I left so." He lead me in the house, making sure my mom was infront of us to keep us from any harm. God I'm in love with him.
