Harry

     Watching Mila interact with my family was terrifying yet enthralling all at the same time. My mum was so taken by her I thought she would never let us leave and my stepdad was giving me all the advice on how to know when she's the one and on and on. I knew she was the one way before this trip but seeing my family fall for her just made it all solidify within me. We had already stayed a week and we were about to head home. It was our last night here and we had a small party with family and close friends one of which was Hero. He treated Mila normally though I watched her cheeks blush every time he would speak to her or lean close to her ear to speak over the music. "So Harry" my mum snapped me from my thoughts and I turned to face her. "Yes?" I asked and she smiled brightly before speaking. "I have been so captivated to watch you in such a loving relationship this past week and I know your grandmother would want her to have this" she spoke as she pulled me around the corner into a small hallway before pulling out a black velvet ring box and opening it. She took the small ring out and held it to me on the tip of her index finger before I gently picked it up inspecting it. "It's so beautiful... I thought Gemma would've wanted this" I spoke and my mom chuckled rubbing my arm gently. "Gemma wants you happy... even though you two fight and you once tried to convince me she was a drug dealer she wants you to give it to Mila" my mum spoke as we both smiled at the memory and I slid the ring back into the box. "Thank you so much" I smiled as I took the box from my mothers hand before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her close to my chest. About that time Mila came down the hallway looking for the powder room downstairs. "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" she smiles politely and my mom waves her hand. "Oh love you didnt. Just was loving on my boy" my mum smiled as she pinched my cheek before she walked off and I rolled my eyes. "Hero flirting with you too much?" I ask and her cheeks turn red and she widens her eyes. "Maybe he's just too tempting for me" she shrugs as she cocks an eyebrow at me. "Good looking kid. I wish you two the best" I tease and she drops her head back before looking back at me with that perfect smile. "Sorry to break it to me but you're stuck with me... but I really need to pee so can I go?" She asked and I chuckled pointing her to the restroom. "Styles" Hero smiles as I walk back into the living room and he hands me a cup of alcohol before tapping his glass to mine. "I can't believe you're leaving already man" he speaks and I nod in agreement. "Sometimes I think about getting a house here and living here half the year" I speak and he chuckles. "Don't need to move here for me man I've got some modeling gigs in the states coming up. I'll stop by and see you" he jokes as he elbows me in the side playfully. "Can't have you trying to fuck my future wife" I say lowly and he rolls his eyes. "Not without me at least" I add and he bursts into a fit of laughter. "Hey man your idea I just helped with the action" he defends himself as I feel Milas small hand slide across my shoulder. "Talking about me?" She smiles as she stands beside me and Hero takes a sip from his glass. "Hard not to I mean look at ya" I reply and she scrunches her nose up at me and opens her mouth to speak but she's cut off. "I'm out of here little one" Gemma speaks as she pats my chest. "Don't forget to call or text or come visit more than once every decade kiddo" she remarks flatly before slipping her sunglasses on. "Uh it's dark out?" Hero interjects and Gemma turns to face him. "It's fashion Tiffins" she quips and he nods slowly. "Mila. It was lovely to meet you I'm so glad you came with this one. You are definetly part of the family now" Gemma speaks as she pulls Mila into a hug. "It was such an amazing trip I'm so happy to have met you" Mila smiles and Gemma pulls back looking at her. "Before you pack ask my mum to show you the back room. It's full of old inventory or stuff I don't need any longer you're welcome to any of it" Gemma said and Mila nearly spits her drink out. Gemma is in the fashion industry clothes, shoes, and sunnies are piled miles high in that room and I know Mila is going to have a field day. They say their final goodbyes and with Gemma leaving it's like the whole rest of the group disappears with her just leaving Mila, my mum, my stepdad, and myself. "Well you two we can get this cleaned up in the morning have a good night" my mum smiled as she walked down the hallway to her bedroom with my step dad following behind before Mila and I made our way up the stairs. "Wait let me get the key to the room from my mother" I said and Mila nodded before walking up the stairs and I went to get the key.
