Give Me Love//H.S

I watched as he took a sip of his black coffee. His eyes glued to the paper. His bruised cheek visible for everyone. When asked about it he said he got hit with a snowball in the face. Makes sense I guess. My grandma walked in and stood behind him and placed her hand on the back of his chair.

"Harry my boy can you help an old lady out today. I need to shovel the sidewalk and driveway". She said patting his shoulder.

He gave her a smile and nodded. Once she walked off he brought his attention to me. With a quick wink he brought his cup back up to his lips.

"Kate I need your help with clothes today. So Mike I need your dirty ones". My mom said taking a bite of her toast.

"Mom I'm seventeen ill do my own clothes". Mike smiled patting her hand.

"Oh Mike hearing that makes me smile but honey the last time you did clothes I had pink socks and my shirts shrunk so ill do it". She giggled.

Mike huffed as Harry chuckled from his seat. I stood up and stretched.

"Kate honey, fix your shorts". My mom warned.

I looked down to see them all the way up showing my thighs. Harry's eyes were set on his coffee mug but he was clearly looking at my legs. I quickly fixed what I could before walking away and going up to change. Once I got to my room I took a pair of leggings out and a white long sleeve shirt. I placed my dirty ones in the basket and quickly changed before I had visitors. Once I was dressed I grabbed my makeup bag and touched up on my foundation. I wasn't a big makeup person. A simple swab of mascara and a little eyebrow fill in was all I needed. A knock on my door from Mike holding a pillowcase of his dirty clothes made me laugh.

"Can you do me a favor? Make sure Harry's shirt gets back to him. I don't want him thinking I stole it," He said handing me it separately.

I just gave him a nod and threw it on my bed. I was surprised Mike got the blood out of it. It looked like it was already washed. Once I finished my makeup I grabbed my basket and Mikes clothes before heading back downstairs.

I walked to the laundry room and gave my mom the pillowcase. She had her headphones in meaning nobody should bother her. I sighed and sat down in on of the baskets. We were that family that needed to label things because of Mike and my dad. We each had baskets with our names on it and my grandma thought it was a good idea so she did it as well. I glanced over to see a basket with a big "H" on it.

"Kate hand me Mimi's things please". She said pointing over to her basket.

I grabbed it and handed it to her, only having the air knocked out of me when the door opened and I fell into the baskets. I looked up to see Harry with concern on his face.

"I'm so sorry Kate". He lied through his teeth.

"Its okay". I mumbled trying not to flip out on him in front of my mother.

"Beth I came in here to let you know that Janet wants to go out for dinner tonight". He smiled.

My mother nodded and gave me a glance before turning back to the jackass in the doorway.

"That would be lovely. Yes"! My mom smiled.

With a swift nod he was about to walk out before looking at me, scratched his face with his two fingers only to move it more into a sexual way and placing his tongue between and then smiling. My mouth fell open in disgust as my mom put her headphones back in and ignored the world. I got up out of the basket and grabbed the clean clothes to hang them up. Once I was done I decided to go and clean up the rest of the house before getting ready for dinner.

*Later that night*

Dinner was different. My family was actually smiling and having a good time. It could be from my mom having a few drinks with her meal. Harry and Mike sat there and talked about something I wasn't interested in. My grandma was taking to some friends that were sat at the table across from us and then you had my mom who was having her own party, and my dad joining with her.

"Oh Jan this was a perfect idea. To bad my vacation ends tomorrow. I work this whole week". My dad sighed.

"Oh I know. But its just a week. Christmas is coming up". She smiled bumping into Mike.

"Yes and that's why I'm taking my shift till Friday then ill have the whole break off". My mom chirped in.

"I'm off this whole week. Mikes taking my shift". I playfully smiled at Mike who groaned.

"Oh no complaining. The shop is a perfect job". My grandma said.

"Harry what do you do for work"? My dad asked.

Harry cleared his throat and sat up in his chair.

"I'm in a business with my mates who I used to live with. We help build the houses around here". He said.

"Oh wow a contractor. What a life". My dad said.

"Tough work I bet". I said as his green eyes were locked on my blue ones.

"Its tough but it keeps the money coming in". He smirked.

Under the table I felt his leg hit mine and lock around me. He was very tall so of coarse his legs were able to touch me. I felt the heat in my cheeks surface.

"Kate are you okay"? Harry asked as he moved his legs so is foot was on the chair in front of me.

"Y-yes". I said clearing my throat.

"Oh just like her mother. The wine gets to her". My dad said turning his attention to my mom.

Harry's foot inched closer to where he wanted it. I gasped and stood up excusing myself from the table. Once in the bathroom I had to calm myself down. Was it the wine? Or was it Harry?

After I fixed my hair and dress I walked back out to see everybody was moved around the table.

"Oh Kate I invited some of my friends to sit with us so Harry saved you a seat". My grandma said.

Of coarse he did.

I slowly sat down next to him and shut my legs under the table. Harry was playing with his beer bottle. The way his fingers danced around the rim of the bottle made me squeeze my legs tighter. Why the hell was I thinking like this? He took a sip and placed the bottle back down and slowly set his hand on my thigh. My parents and grandma were entertaining the new table guest and Mike was flirting with the one waitresses so nobody seen what was going on at my end.

"Can I get you guys anything else to drink"? The waiter asked walking up.

"Kate get another wine". My mom encouraged.

I shook my head but Harry ordered for me, keeping his hand very close to my thigh.

Once the waiter took the drink orders he used his thumb to drawl small circles on the top of my thigh. His fingers disappeared under my dress but not where I he wanted them to be. He continued to mess with me until our drinks came and he stood up.

"I would like to make a toast. Mark, Beth, Janet, Mike and Kate. Thank you for making me part of the family so fast. Its one i've always wanted". He said. Once the cheer was over he sat back down and placed his hand further in between my legs.

"Cheers to new Beginnings". He smirked to me as he chugged the rest of his beer.
