Fuck buddies ( Harry Styles )

|| Together ||

My parents host this big dinner party with all of our family/close friends to get everyone together. This year instead of having a big fancy dinner, they decided on a big cookout. Caleb is lucky enough to miss it this year, but unfortunately for Harry, he's being dragged there to sit through the bullshit with me. He's more excited than nervous, which is surprising. My family is very intense if you hadn't noticed.

"Okay, what should I wear?" Harry ask and I roll my eyes

"Harry, you have asked me this about thirty times today."

"I just want to make sure I'm properly dressed."

"One, it's a cookout. Two, you have already met most of my family." I say scrolling on Instagram

"Yes, but they have not met me as their daughter's boyfriend. They only know me as Caleb's friend." Harry says walking out of his closet

"Potato. Tomato. You'll be fine." I say getting off his bed

I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him.

"How do I look?" He asks

"Like a million dollars."

He laughs, "You're so cute."

I kiss him before picking up my things.

"We have to get going if you don't want to be late," I say

"Right. What time does it start?" He asks

"Um, 12 I think."

"Mel, it's fucking 2. I'm already late."

"Well we had sex and we went longer than we should have. They'll be alright." I say walking out of his room

"It's me I'm worried about!" He yells and I laugh

AT MELODY'S HOUSE

I pull my jeep into my spot in the driveway and put it in park. I turn it off as Harry and I get out. We walk up to the door and I open it, immediately being annoyed with the screams of children mixed with the loud music. I take Harry's hand as we make our way outside. I spot my parents talking with my aunt and uncle. I lead Harry in the opposite direction, heading toward my cousins, who are either my age or older.

"Mel has arrived!" Dylan yells

"Hey, Dylan. Hey Hope."

"Hi Melody, I can't believe you left me here by myself with our wild family." She says and I laugh

"Oh. Guys this is Harry, my boyfriend." I introduce him

"Have you met the parents?" Dylan ask him as they shake each other's hand

"Um yes, but not as her boyfriend. I've known Caleb for years." He says

"Ouch. That might hurt you." Hope says

"Why?" He asks

"Hope. Don't" I say

"Why is that a disadvantage for me, Mel?" Harry ask turning to me

I look at him and then back at Hope, who mouths the words "sorry" before walking off with Dylan.

"I promise I will tell you," I say turning to him

"You told me I had nothing to worry about. Now the first people in your family that you have introduced me to as your boyfriend is telling me otherwise."

"Harry you have known my parents for years. Why are you so nervous about this?"

"Why am I nervous? Melody you're parents do not approve of a lot of things in your life. I don't want to be on that list."
