Black Ink [Harry Styles]

Chapter 22

Harry

I can't believe Nessa let me go down on her this morning.

Driving home through the busy city streets and all I can think about is the way Nessa tasted and felt and the sounds she was just making writhing around as she came. I don't think I have ever experienced anything as fucking hot as her; her soft curves, big eyes and those little moans of pleasure.

My thoughts are interrupted by my phone ringing, I look at the dashboard caller ID and press accept on the steering wheel.

"Hi Gem?"

"Hey baby brother. What you up too?" she asks cheerily.

"I'm driving home" I respond.

"Where are you on your way home from this early? Oh my god, were you with someone?" She teases, pretending to sound shocked.

"Was it that girl you liked that wouldn't give you the time of day. I love her already by the way" she laughs.

I sigh but know she won't let up unless I tell her everything "Her name is Nessa, Gemma, and we are keeping it light and fun. Her last relationship ended really badly and she is nervous about jumping into anything".

"And what do you feel about that Haz? Do you like her?" she asks cautiously

"I dunno Gem. I'm kind of confused. It's just supposed to be fun, we agreed on that, but now I can't stop thinking about her. We saw Moira last night and she mentioned she has never seen me the way I am around Nessa and that I must really like her. I think she's right and I am falling for her and it scares me. She has no idea how crazy my life is; and how intense the public and press are. Nessa is pretty shy and I think it will totally freak her out" I blurt out, happy to finally talk to someone about this.

"Harry, I don't think you should worry yet. It sounds like she wants to keep it light and I think that would be good for you, and if it gets more serious and she really does feel something for you, you can overcome everything else" She says.

"I suppose Gem. But she amazing, you should meet her, I know you will love her".

She laughs nervously and says "Funny you should say that, actually Mom is coming up to London this weekend. I have taken Friday off and I was going to suggest we go for breakfast. Why don't you bring Nessa if she isn't working? I don't want to freak her out, but you know how kind mom is. Just tell Nessa that she is invited as your friend".

"I don't know Gemma, that seems like the exact opposite of light and breezy. Breakfast with my nosy family, plus I just told you, I am freaking out a little too" I try argue.

"I know Harry and you know we will never force you, but I would love to meet her and it's just breakfast. Think about it. Listen I have to go do some work, but I love you and I'll see you on Friday either way".

She rings off just as I turn into my driveway and park.

I get out of the car, grab my bag and walk into the house. While making myself an espresso I think about asking Nessa for breakfast. I would love her to meet my mom and sister. They are the most important people in my life, but if I ask her, she may freak out.

Then again it doesn't have to be a big deal, neither my mom and sister are traditional, they won't read into this as some big first meeting plus I know they will love her.

I mull it over for a few minutes before I decide to throw caution to the wind and I pick up my phone, scroll to Nessa's name and press call.

I wait a few minutes before she answers softly "Hey. I'm at the studio, is everything ok?"

"Hi Nes. How are you feeling after this morning? I loved starting the day with you"

She laughs the most beautiful laugh, "Um I'm really good babe".

I love it when she calls me that and I now I have a huge grin plastered on my face.

She continues "I can't thank you enough for this morning, next time I get to repay the favour, you know that right".

"Shit Nessa, don't even say that, especially after this morning, I think I'm still hard" I joke, "Actually, I phoned to ask you something. Now don't freak out, it's not a big deal, but I just spoke to my sister and my mom is in London this weekend and they invited me for breakfast on Friday, and I would love you to come, just as a friend. Is that weird? I now we are keeping things light but I know you will love them" I say.

There is silence on the other end of the phone before she replies cautiously "Oh I don't know Harry. That sounds like a big relationship step and we aren't in a relationship".

Im not sure why, because she is right, we aren't in a relationship, but I feel disappointment when she says it so matter-of-factly.

"Ness, it's really up to you, my mom and sister are really laid back. And I'll just say you are a friend. I'll buy you as many pancakes as you want. Come on live a little" I say hopefully.

She is quiet for a while, and I think she is going to say no, but she eventually sighs and says "Um okay. Okay I will come, as long as you make it clear I'm just a friend. But I have a client booked around lunchtime so can't stay too long".

"Awesome Ness. Just don't overthink it before then. Chat later" and we hang up.

I hope I am right and this isn't a big deal. The feelings I am starting to have for Nessa are fucking confusing and scary and I find myself second guessing everything.
