That Crazy Thing Called Love ~ A Harry Styles Fanfic

6. Dinner with mom

Anneliese's P.O.V

It's been about a week since Harry and my mom met, and tonight he was coming over for dinner. I'll admit, I'm pretty nervous about it. Last time they met wasn't exactly a lot of fun. Harry seems fine about it, and my moms excited.

I took about a 2 hour shower and blow dried my hair as i pained my nails and texted Alexa. I guess you could say I'm a class A multi-tasker. Tonight I decided on going fancy. Kind of. I'm wearing a black pencil skirt with diamond studded sandals and a blue flowy top. I did my makeup and loosely curled my hair.

"Sweetheart when's Harry coming over?" My mom yelled up the stairs. "I'm making chicken parmesan and I need to know how long it will be before its served!"

"He should be here any minute mom!" I yelled back.

The doorbell rang and I pranced down the stairs, Kyle trailing closely behind me. While smoothing out my skirt and shoving Kyle away, I opened the door. "Hi." I said with a ginormous smile on my face.

"Hey." He said back. He pulled his hand out from behind him. "These are for you." He said handing me a dozen roses.

My smile instantly grew bigger, if that's possible, and I took the flowers from him. "Aww thank you so much!" I said hugging him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and ushered him inside to the dining room.

We both sat down at the table while my mom finished cooking dinner. "Anneliese honey I got you some more tampons at the store today, they're on your bathroom counter." My mom yelled from the kitchen.

I looked at Harry with wide eyes and sprung up from the table, running to the kitchen. "What the hell mom, Harry's here!" I whisper shouted.

Her face dropped and she covered her mouth with her hands. "I am so sorry sweetheart!" She whispered coming towards me. "And watch your mouth." She said winking.

I fake laughed and did the walk of shame back to the dining room, full of embarrassment. When I stepped into the room Harry immediately burst out into laughter. My mouth fell open and I stomped over to my chair.

"That was NOT funny, and it was extremely embarrassing! Stop laughing!" I said sternly.

"Come on it was kinda funny." He said.

I just stared at him and turned around as my mom brought the food in. She set it on the table and sat down as Kyle ran in and joined us.

"Harry, it's nice to have you here." She smiled. "And next time Anneliese, tell me when he arrives so that little episode doesn't happen again. Agreed?" She said to me.

"Mhm." I said poking my chicken with my fork.

We all started eating and to be honest, it tasted amazing. My mom and Harry were eating and I looked up to see Kyle staring at me. I frowned at him in a questioning look and he just kept staring. I decided to talk to him after dinner and continued to eat.

Once we finished eating we all took our plates to the kitchen. Kyle was standing next to the island and Harry approached my mom. "Ms. Palmer may I help you with the dishes?" Harry asked politely. I smiled, he's such a dork.

"Oh of course Harry your so sweet!" My mom said happily. She handed him a plate and they began cleaning to together.

I looked around anxiously. "Kyle come here." I said waving him into the other room.

We walked into the study at the front of the house and I shut the door behind me. Kyle sat down at the computer desk while I stood by the door.

"What's up with you?" I asked cautiously. "You were staring at me all through dinner." I said crossing my arms, not mad, just worried.

He looked down and then back up at me again. "You haven't noticed?" He asked.

"Noticed what?" I said scrunching up my nose.

He looked back down. "Ever since you've started hanging out with Harry you've barely talked to me." He said sadly.

I sighed. "Kyle." I said as I knelt down next to him. "I'm not edging you out, I just sat and talked to you about girl problems a few days ago! And it's not like Harry's here all day long, he just comes over every couple days." I said sympathetically.

"I wish you two never started dating." He stated rudely, still not making eye contact with me.

I pursed my lips together and glared at him even though he wasn't looking back at me. I've had enough of this crap. I spun around and walked out the door with him running behind me.

"Everything ok guys?" My mom said when she saw me.

"He's being a spoiled little brat!" I said stopping in my tracks and turning around to point at him standing behind me. Before my mom could answer, I continued. "He's saying he wished me and Harry never met, and that's not fair at all!" I yelled, disregarding Harry who was sitting up from his seat on the couch.

"Oh my god!" Kyle said raising his voice, running upstairs.

"Hun he doesn't mean that." My mom said trying to calm me down.

I turned around facing Harry with tears in my eyes. He looked like he felt bad for me, and I didn't want him too. It seems like every time he comes I have family drama going on.

"I'm sorry." I spoke as a single tear fell from my eye. I closed my eyes and Harry gave me a big, warm hug. He's so caring.

Harry's P.O.V

I felt bad for her. I mean, her brother really hurt her. It kinda hurt me too, but I know the kids only 12, he doesn't think before he speaks. You can't blame him. But still, Anneliese is getting beat up about it so I gave her a big hug. We don't really hug, just usually kissing is all. So it felt really good to give her a big hug. She put her arms around my waist and laid her head on my chest. I put my arms around her neck and kissed the top of her head. She's about seven inches shorter than me, so this hug is actually quite comfortable.

She sniffles and it sounded like she mumbled 'sorry' underneath her breath.

"Don't be, it's fine." I reassured her. "Want to go on a walk?" I offered. When I was upset going on a little walk always cheered me up somehow, and I think Anneliese needs some cheering up.

"Sounds good, but I need to be back by 10. South park is going to be on." She said beginning to smile. It was only 8pm, so we had plenty of time.

"Shall we?" I said with my hand out.

"We shall." She said talking my hand and laughing as we walked out the door.

Anneliese's P.O.V

Our walk was magical. That's extremely cliché, but it really was. We made about 4 laps around the neighborhood, talking the entire time. We talked about food, to amusement parks, to alpacas. It was a very weird conversation, but I loved it.

"Thanks. Tonight was amazing." I said to him at the door.

"No problem babe. See you at school tomorrow." He said smiling and turning around.

"Wait!" I yelled after him.

He stopped and turned around to face me.

"Goodbye kiss?" I said with a big smile. I batted my eyes as he walked up to me again.

He leaned in and kissed my cheek. I looked at him like he was an alien. I squinted my eyes at him and my mouth formed an O shape. He grinned at me and nodded his head towards the window. I turned around to see Kyle with his face smashed against the window, making out with it, imitating us. I grunted at his obnoxiousness and looked at Harry.

"I'll promise you a nice long good morning kiss." He said winking and making a kissy face.

I rolled my eyes at him and smiled. "see you tomorrow." I said, going inside.
