Elizabeth’s POV

After the showcase Harry drove us to my place so we could wait for my parents to arrive. We were both sitting on the couch watching T.V. I was leaning against his chest sitting on his lap, his arms gently wrapped around me.

“Are you excited for them to be here?” Harry asked leaning his head down to look at me. I nodded.

“Yes, I am but I’m a bit nervous. My mom really wants to meet you and she can get really overboard sometimes” I laughed nervously and Harry chuckled.

“It’ll be okay.” He said placing a light kiss on my lips. There was nose coming from the door and I knew it was my parents trying to unlock the door.  I quickly got up from Harry’s lap and walked to the door to open it for them.

“Hey sweetheart!” my mom said engulfing me in a hug as soon as I opened the door. My dad walked in placing their bags next to the door closing it with his foot.

I looked over at Harry and he was walking towards us with a smile on his face. My mom pulled away from me and turned over to look at him.

“Are you Harry?” she asked giving him a polite smile.

“Yes ma’am , I am” Harry said extending his hand out to her giving it a shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. “

“The both of you” Harry added as he shook my dad’s hand as well. My dad looked at Harry up and down and only gave him a nod.

“Okay then, why won’t I get dinner ready?” my mom said clasping her hands together.  “Ellie will you help me out?” she asked and I nodded even though deep down inside it was unsettling.  Great mom, now we are leaving Harry alone with dad!

“You sure know how to pick them Elizabeth” My mom said as we walked into the kitchen. I blushed and nodded. She smiled at me and placed her apron on.

“He does seem like a nice young man” She said looking through the cabinets trying to figure out what to make. “How about I make spaghetti?” she asked looking over her shoulder to look at me.

“Yea, that’s fine” I said and with that she got to cooking.

We were all sitting at the brown wooden dining table eating our plates of spaghetti. Harry was sitting beside me while my parents were sitting on the other side of the table facing us.

“So how did you two meet?” My mom asked taking a sip of her water.

Harry swallowed the food he was chewing and turned to look at her holding his fork in his hand. “Well, I moved here a while back and Elizabeth was the first person that I became friends with. We started to hang out and things just started to build up from there”  

“It must have been hard moving to a new place for your final year of high school. If you don’t mind me asking what made you come here?”  my mom asked him.

“You can ask me anything you’d like Mrs. Parker. The reason why I came here was just to get a fresh start and I just thought it might be easier to move here because I’m planning to go to the local university.”

My mom nodded as she continued on eating her food. I wiped my face with my napkin and took a sip of my water. I moved my gaze to my dad and even though he may look like he is happy deep down I know he isn’t. After we were done eating, I helped my mom clear the table and all of us were now sitting in the living room talking, trying to pass some time.

“What do you like to do on your spare time Harry? Do you have any hobbies? A job, maybe?” My dad asked with a shrug as he leaned back into the couch placing one of his legs over his knee. I rolled my eyes. Is this Harry interrogation day?

Harry sat up straight beside me and nodded. “Yes I do have hobbies sir, I try to spend my spare time playing sports, working out or boxing.”

“Boxing?” My dad asked raising his eyebrows.

“Yes” Harry nodded. “I have done it for a long time now. I used to take classes but now I try to teach my own classes and have a few matches just to get some spare cash” My dad nodded but didn’t say anything else.  I could feel a bit of tension coming from my dad so I decided to do something to break that.

“Okay, that is enough questions for today” I said standing up. “I’ll give Harry a proper tour of the house” My mom nodded at me while dad just stared. I grabbed Harry’s hand and led him up the stairs.

“I am so sorry about that” I said walking into my bedroom.

“It’s alright” he said shaking his head with a smile.

I nodded and let out a breath of relief. “This is my bedroom” I said holding my arms out.

“I know I have seen it before” he said walking over to the bed and sat down with a smirk on his face. I gave him a confused look and he chuckled. “I used to sneak into your room all of the time”  

“Harry!” I scolded him.

“What? It’s not my fault. You know why I did it. Plus it was easy climbing through the window and-“

“You climbed through the window? Harry, you could have gotten hurt.” Harry smiled biting on his lower lip and shook his head.

“No, I’m capable of many things. It takes a lot for me to get hurt babe, trust me.”  I shook my head in disbelief and walked towards him standing between his legs.

“Why did you sneak in then?” I asked looking into his green eyes.

“There was a part of me that felt the need to, in order to figure things out. I had to see why I was so drawn to you. “ He paused and I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Now, I realize that even back then I loved you, even if I admitted it to myself or not”

I smiled. “Well, I’m glad you did” I said leaning my forehead against his.

“Yea?” he smirked against my lips and I giggled. He pressed his lips to mine and I immediately responded. Every time that I kiss him I could feel my heart beat in my chest and there is this beautiful sensation in the deep part of my belly. I could get lost in him forever.
