part 22 arrival
Taylor's pov
we stumbled off the plane and headed to baggage claim.It was bright outside now.The time difference was incredible,I knew I would jet lagged.After finally claiming our bags we headed outside to where his mother was waiting to pick him up.
"she's not here yet,she just texted me"Harry said from beside me,reading my mind."Annie wants us to take a picture together.To show how excited we're here"
"Okay"I shortly replied,pulling out my phone and turning towards us to snap a selfie.I made a stupid excited face.Harry smiled stupidly.Annie would be happy.I quickly instagrammed it,captioning it 'getting excited to be home with my love!'
Harry stood silently beside me,whispering 'show time' and casually grabbing my hand.A car pulled into the pick up section and we harry led me to the car
A brunette woman climbed out,wrapping her arms around me tightly."It;s nice to meet you!Harry brags about you all the time.And you are just as beautiful in person!"She said happily as we hugged
"thank you"I grinned cheekily."Hopefully it's all good things!"
"of course,love"harry smiled down at me.His mother grabbed him and hugged him tightly,holding him forever.He leaned down to her height,wrapping his arms around his mother and squeezing tightly."I've missed you so much,mum"
She pulled away her son with slight tears streamed down her face,turning to me again"I'm sorry,I nearly forgot to introduce myself.My name is Anne.I was just so excited to finally meet a girl who somehow handling the mess of my son"she teased
"I'm Taylor"I replied,shaking her hand with a laugh."It's quite hard to handle it".We put our bags in the trunk of the car before climbing it.
"i'm sure you are starving,I have cooked lunch and ready to be eaten at home.Gemma can't wait to meet you either"Anne said excitedly
Harry shook his head,chuckling in his seat beside her.Anne turned and cocked an eyebrow at him."i'm sorry ,it's just I haven't seen you in a while,and you changed a bit..you looks skinnier,mum"
"So do you,honey"she replied happily as she pinched his cheeks.He blushed bright red.It was a short ride ,eventually we pulled up at the medium sized bright house.Harry carried my bags inside for me .A pretty brunette girl ran out to greet him,jumping on him as he swung her around.
"My baby brother is home!"She cooed as he set her down.
"Hey,I'm much bigger than you!"He teased,resting his elbow on her shoulder and introduced me"This is my girlfriend,Tay-"
Harry's sister,(Gemma) cut him off before he could finish, "Taylor swift!I knew her ,I saw her once at your concert"
My stomach butterfly when he revealed me as his girlfriend.Even though we knew this just a part of the contract.I stepped forward and lend out my hand which she took graciously before pulling me into a hug."It's lovely to meet you!"
"it's nice to meet you as well,"I smiled at her.We walked out of the cold and into his warm house.It smelled delicious.It reminded me of Harry.It was nice and cozy,trophies of Harry's success in various place.I could see how proud his family was of him.
"So Taylor"Anne started as she led us upstairs."I didn't know if you would be sharing a room with Harry or not,so I made up the guest room as well"
"The guest room will be perfect"
I felt Harry's glare on my back,causing me to wince slightly.He opened the door and walked in,shutting it quietly behind him.I assumed it was his room.Anne led me to the room across the hall.It was nice and pretty ,a small bed with purple ruffles in the middle.
"thank you so much"
"Oh,it's my pleasure!Lunch is ready,so just come downstairs when you've settled"
My heart ached still.I had wanted to use this time to tell Olivia what had happened between Harry and I. To try and get back to see him as a friend.I didn't know if it was possible though.
"Tay,let's go lunch"Harry said quietly as he tapped on my door.I ran quickly and followed him downstairs.We sat down at the table with Gemma and Anne.Everything was homemade,reminding me of my hometown.I loaded my plate ,much to Harry's amusement.
"Hungry much?"He teased.Anne shot him a look and he smiled innocently
"I haven't had a home cooked meal in over a month,I'm not gonna deny it"I laughed
"Eat as much as you want,Tay"Gemma smiled at me.I grinned happily as I shoved the first bite of food in my mouth.It tasted like food from heaven.Homemade spaghetti,perfectly cooked.There were a fresh salad with baked potatoes.The perfect mouth watered food.
"so how did you two meet again?"Anne questioned.Harry and my eyes glued to each other as I began talking
"We met at a treehouse"
We told stories of our time together,things that we had done.Harry told them a lot about the tour,and how excited he was for them to come and watch him.After talking a little bit more we had finished.I stood up to help Anne clean the dishes.
"sweetie,you don't need to help!You're our guest"she protested
"no,I'll be here for a week and I'd like to help as much as I can"I insisted
My stomach warmed at the thought that she actually liked me.If she knew that I was being paid to date her son,I knew I would NEVER be welcomed in the house again.
"So,Taylor what do you do for a living?She asked
I choked my tea,clearing my throat before answering.Date your son "Uhm,well I moved to LA to pursue my family's tradition as a singer and doing 'a collaboration'.But I also do part time modeling and work at a restaurant.
"How's interesting!I'm sure you're a great partner for collaborating bcause you're seems a great singer "Anne smiled politely.Harry choked his tea this time.He stood up and walked out,still coughing.I tried to hide the small smile playing on my lips.
Then,we hung out and got to know each other.They showed me Harry's baby pictures.He blushed the entire time,begging her to put them away as I laughed.They were adorable
Everyone called out 'goodnights' as I followed Harry upstairs,hand in hand.He let go and walked into his room,calling a quite goodnight over his shoulder.I padded quietly to my own room,changing and crawling into the bed
It was the first night in a month that I hadn't sleep in the bed with Harry or in same room as him.It felt weird.I was cold,wanting to huddle against his body and wrap his hands in mine.I tossed and turn as I tried to fall asleep.Pulling out my iphone,it was 12 am
I was playing on my phone when I heard screams.The most pained screams I had heard.I jumped out of my bed and ran to his rooms,pushing the door against the wall.He was screaming and twisting around in his sheets
I tried to shake him awake before remembering that only splashing water only works.I sprinted down the hallway as I heard another pained scream from him.I filled a glass and ran straight into Anne.
"Harry's having a nightmare"I squealed,pushing pass her.Her eyes were wide.I saw Gemma coming sleepily out of her room.
I grabbed his arms and dumped the water on his face.His eyes shot open with a last painful shout.His green eyes reached mine and filled with relief as he wrapped his arms around me.Anne and Gemma stood beside the bed,watching us.
"It's fine,just a nightmare harry.It's okay.No one has left you"I whispered as I stroked his back soothingly,pressing kisses into his hair.He cried quietly into my shoulder.I heard Anne and Gemma leave quietly.And I continued to calm him down.
He finally raised his face to meet my gaze"It-It was you.You left"
"I wont leave I promise"I whispered."I couldnt leave you,you are my bestfriend"
"bestfriend"he mimicked in high pitched voice
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Sorry. Nothing"
"tell me"I commanded.His gaze dropped from mine,and he bit his lip nervously
"After w-we,you know.Things have changed between us"
"i'm sorry"I replied,trying to hold back my tears and the words that threatened to spill from my mouth.I just in love with you stupid,stupid boy. "I'm just not good at talking about this.I didn't know what we were."
"Taylor,that night...that night happened because I'm in love with you"he mumbled into my neck.I raised his face to meet mine.His cheeks were a bright red.
"what did you say?"
"I said I'm in love with you"he replied loudly."Is that what you want to hear?It's fucking embarrassing.You're being paid to date me and I'm actually in love with you."
"Harry,that's exactly what I wanted to hear.Because I'm in love with you too,idiot"
His hair was messy and there were dried tears on his face.His bright green eyes were surrounded with a puffy redness.He had a huge grin on his face,dimple showing.
"Will you sleep in here with me for the rest of the night?"he asked
I nodded as I fell asleep into his chest,held in his arms once again.It was one in the morning ,I was almost delirious from lack of sleep,and Harry loved me.I inhaled as I nuzzled his neck.
"i missed you"I whispered
"i missed you too taylor"
