I'm dedicating this chapter to @renisa007 because she votes and comments for pretty much every chapter. But of course thankyou to everyone who is reading and voting.

I wake up to Harry lightly shaking my shoulder ‘Ly, you have to get up’

I groan and roll over the other way

I didn’t sleep with Harry last night, well technically I did but we just lay there talking until we fell asleep which was nice because I don’t want a relationship that thrives on intimacy.

‘Babe, you got work’ my eyes shot open at him calling me babe, he makes I sound so hot especially in his morning voice.

I sigh and get up, pulling down Harry’s shirt so he doesn’t see my underwear, I know we’re together but I still find it a bit embarrassing since they’re lace and let’s face it, I’m definitely not confident.

I go over to the top of his draws where my clothes from yesterday were and put them on.

Harry drops me off at my house so I can get changed for work and freshen up; we agree to go out for lunch tomorrow for our first date.

I’m not gonna lie I’m really excited.

 Once I unlock the door Mia is already up ‘Oh look at you, the walk of shame’

I laugh ‘technically it’s not because Harry dropped me off in his car’

‘Did you, you know… do it?’

My eyes go wide ‘what? No! But we are together’

I see Mia’s face light up as she jumps off the couch and runs straight for me, ‘I’m so happy for you!’ she squeals as she pulls me into a hug.

 ‘Mia as much as I love you I need to get ready for work’

She pulls away and smirks ‘yeah you need to get rid of your panda eyes’

‘Shut up’ I say slightly blushing I push past her and head into my room, I hear Mia laughing as I walk down the hall, that’s what friends are for, right?

I’ve just finished work and I’m heading back to the apartment, I’m tired as today was quite a long shift.

When I get home I call out for Mia but there’s no answer, is she in her room?

I knock on her door; nothing, that’s weird she didn’t have anything on today. I walk back to the lounge room; I scan the room until my eyes spot a piece of paper on the coffee table

Lylah,

Matt called me to see if I wanted to go over to his place, I’ll be back In time for dinner. If you need anything call

-Mia xx

I roll my eyes, she sounds like my mum. At least she’s spending time with Matt they haven’t been seeing each other much recently.

I put the piece of paper in the bin and to my room to get changed out of my work uniform and into something more comfortable.

I pick out leggings and a sloppy joe and throw it on, throwing my dirty clothes into the hamper. I’m so tired, It feels like it’s dinner time already.

I take my phone out of my bag on my bed and check the time but instead see a new message

 Harry: How was work? Xx

I smile and unlock my phone so I can reply

Lylah: Long and tiring but it’s over now :)

Almost instantly I get a reply from Harry which cause my heart to flutter

Harry: You little hard worker! Wanna hear a joke to cheer you up? ;)

I chuckle, oh god not another one of his jokes, they’re so bad. You don’t know Harry if you don’t know his jokes.

Lylah: Is this the Lettuce one cause you’ve told me this one at least twice already

Harry: Hahaha, that’s only cause it’s a brilliant joke, I have to keep telling you cause you don’t appreciate how funny it actually is

Lylah: or you just keep forgetting you told me

Harry: Or that

I laugh, I’m about to reply a response but he beats me to it

Harry: I promise it’s not the Lettuce one, PLEASE!!

I sigh and slightly laugh, this boy is such a dork

Lylah: fine, it better be good

Harry: Why couldn’t the pirate get through the alphabet?

Lylah: I don’t know, why?

Harry: because he always got lost at C

I laugh and shake my head, I have to admit that one’s not too bad but I don’t tell him. I don’t want to give that satisfaction.

Lylah: That was horrible

Harry: That was really good and you can’t deny it! I can hear you laughing through the phone

Lylah: I think that was your sub-conscious

Harry: Probably, sorry but I gotta go before Niall smashes my phone, we’re working on a new song. I’ll see you tomorrow xx

I smile

Lylah: See you tomorrow xx

I put my phone down, I can’t wipe the smile off my face, he’s adorable.

I walk over to my desk and look at my planner, checking if I have any assessments or events coming up, I don’t want to leave it to the next minute.

 I flick to next week and see I have dinner with my parents, I completely forgot about that. When I organise stuff with them it always has to be a few weeks in advance cause they’re both so busy.

Should I invite Harry since were together, my parents always wanted to meet the guys I was dating, although they haven’t met anyone yet since I’ve been single my whole life.

But is it too soon? Harry said he wanted to take it slow and meeting my parents isn’t exactly slow.

I sigh, I should probably invite him…Should I?

I groan and lie down on my bed, I’m just gonna do it. I’ll invite him ad if he thinks it’s too soon he doesn’t have to come. 

 Harry’s going to meet my parents.
