KAIRRA'S POV 

And I am finally done my semester.

WHOOOO! 

Ellie and Cat went home to Toronto the day before I finished which was the fourth. We'd be seeing each other in Toronto when I got back. Meanwhile, Harry and I were on a road trip to Holmes Chapel which was like a four hour drive north to meet his family.

I also recently found out that your Ontario license was valid in London and that I didn't have to take the UK driving test, thank God, so Harry and I agreed that we'd take turns driving.  

"Harry, I'm bored." I complained. "Do you wanna play I spy?" 

"We haven't even been driving for an hour." He laughed turning the volume on the radio down. "I'll go first. I spy with my little eye, something that is red." 

I looked out the windows. There wasn't a hint of red outside. I looked around inside the car. 

"That red triangle?" I guessed which was just about the only thing in the car that was red. 

He shook his head. "Nope." 

"I give up." I muttered leaning back down in my seat. 

"You're wearing red lipstick today." He laughed. 

I've forgotten I was wearing lipstick. My outfit was a series of dull boring colors and I decided to add a pop of color. 

"I like it on you." He commented. "You should wear it more often." 

*~*

"Do you want to take a break?" I asked looking at Harry as we exited the highway. It was around four and we still had two more hours of driving to do. 

"Are you sure you want to drive?" He asked. 

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to." I answered. 

He pulled over and we switched sides. "Are you sure you're comfortable with this?" 

I smiled as I pulled my seat belt on. "Relax, I've got this all under control." I pressed my foot on the gas trying to get a feel of how fast the car went. "I used to drive all the time back home." 

"Yes, and how often have you gotten a ticket?" He asked looking at the side mirror. 

"Have a little faith in me." I said cooly quickly glancing at him. He looked nervous.

"I will once you start driving slower." He answered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You're driving at an seventy. The speed limit here is a sixty." Harry explained.

I immediately slowed the car down. "Sorry, stuck on speed limit jet lag still. It's alright, I got this. Now tell me where to go." 

"Just listen to the GPS." Harry said rummaging through the dashboard compartment and taking out a GPS stand. He stuck it to the windshield and put his phone on it. "So how many tickets have you gotten while behind the wheel?" 

"Uh, well if you don't count speeding, four." I answered sheepishly.

"Four?" He repeated laughing. "What about speeding?"

"I will remind you that I just got my license and I got two in a month but that was all." I said. 

He covered his mouth trying to stifle his laughing. "Two in a month. And you didn't get suspended or anything?" 

"I did. For about a week. And then I was grounded so I had to take the bus to high school for two months and right when I got my car back, I got another parking ticket." He kept laughing. "I was late to school and I didn't tell my parents so I paid for the ticket myself." I laughed along with him.

*~*

After several more hours of driving and switching seats, we made it to Holmes Chapel and were driving around a residential area and finally, Harry pulled up in front of a house.

"Well, this is it." He said looking through the window. "Home sweet home."

"So tell me, who's gonna be there?" I asked.

"My mum, Anne, my step dad Robin and my sister Gemma and possibly a few other relatives." He said stepping out of the car.

I was starting to feel nervous. My palms went all sweaty and I felt like I've forgotten how to breathe. I could feel Harry watching me cautiously as he popped the trunk open. 

"Hey, relax. They'll love you." He reassured taking my hands in his. 

I nodded as he planted a kiss on my cheek taking our bags and walking up the steps. 

"Do me a favor love and ring the doorbell for me?" He asked. 

Ding dong.
