Suddenly, someone behind us clears their throat.

Harry rapidly moves aside. Lottie stands right outside the door.

"Hey." I greet her in full embarrassment.

"Hey...Adam's asking for you Emma." Her eyes travel from my face to Harry's.

"I'm going." Gulping the saliva stuck in my throat, I then squeeze through the small space she leaves me to enter the house.

Lottie nor Harry follow me in, making me worry. Finally stepping foot into the kitchen, everyone is already seated around the huge table.

The whole family greets me in a very nice and welcoming way. I take the seat beside Adam. He turns to eye me fully from head to toe with a smile plastered.

"You look beautiful." He whispers into my ear as I then watch Lottie and Harry walk in.

"Thank you." I return a smile as a nice gesture.

Lottie sits to my left side. Harry sits right in front of me from across the table. I turn to stare at Lottie, but instead of giving me an intense glare like outside, she only smiles.

"Did you have fun today Emma?" Anne speaks up as she serves us with the help of Gemma.

"Yes Anne, I did." I reply, not knowing what else to really say.

"Nice! Where did my boys take you?" I suddenly feel everyone's eyes on me. My eyes focus mostly on Harry and Louis, who sit across from me. What do I say?

"Umm...well I...I don't remember the name of the place to be honest with you. What was it guys?" I turn it off to them to answer this since I don't know of much places here.

"We went to boondocks." Louis beams out.

"The arcade and race cars place?" Anne questions with a frown.

"Yeah, that place!" Louis winks.

"Oh nice! Did you like it Emma?" Anne questions further.

"Yes, it's fun." I smile at her, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"How was cooking?" Changing the conversation, she quickly smiles.

"We had fun, right guys?" She watches Liam and Gemma.

"It wasn't so bad." Liam responds.

"It so was! You burned the cookies twice." Gemma begins to laugh at Liam.

"Anyways....how was it for you dad?" Liam also changes the conversation.

--

After dinner, Anne makes us all go sit in the living room. Her and Lottie disappear for almost ten minutes, but once they come back, they carry a lot of wrapped gifts.

"It's almost twelve!" Gemma squeals as she plays a Christmas cd on the large stereo that sits on top of the big tv stand.

Anne's mom serves each one of us a cup of hot chocolate. She then places warm, homemade cookies in the middle of the coffee table.

Geoff and Adam sit on the medium sized couch while having a very important work conversation.

On the large couch, Liam sits on one of the edges. I sit beside him in the middle and on my other side, sits Harry.

The small couch is where Anne sits on the arm of the couch beside her mom. Lottie and Gemma sit on the fluffy carpet around the coffee table.

Zayn, Louis, and Camely sit by the fireplace.

I watch everyone in admiration. The way they gather here, and how everyone is just having a great time.

I never had a family. My parents died when I was only five. No brother or sister, only an aunt, but she died two years ago. With Adam, I have a family. Something I never had as a child or in my youth.

I turn to Harry, who I then catch watching me carefully. I hint up a smile. Everyone is  having a conversation, but me.

"What?" I ask him, because it's strange the way he's staring at me.

"Are you okay?" He asks, concern shows.

"Yeah, I'm really happy right now." I reply in all honesty.

"Why is that?"

"It's so amazing to see everyone so happy and just having a good time." His eyes shine. A dimpled smile creeps up.

"Don't make fun of me!" I playfully slap his shoulder.

"I'm not." He chuckles.

"I never had this. It's great to be this lucky to be living this right now." I admit.

"Oh." He looks down at his lap.

He suddenly gets up from the couch, and moves to walk up the stairs.

"Where are you going sweetheart?" Anne calls out for him.

"I'm going to bed, I'm tired. Goodnight everyone." He dismisses himself before jogging up the stairs.

Anne only turns back around and continues her conversation.

Did I say something wrong? That was really weird. He just got up, and left.

"It's twelve!" Gemma screams checking her phone timer.

"Time for presents." Lottie speaks up, quickly moving towards the tree.

"Who wants to open theirs first?" She asks, staring at everyone.

"Why don't we start with Emma since she's the new member of the family?" Liam suggests.

"Yeah!" Gemma cheers.

"Okay." Lottie bends down and searches through the name tags.

She then picks up a large wrapped gift. Lottie passes it to Liam, and he gladly places it on my lap.

"Open it." Liam smiles at me.

I begin to carefully remove the wrapper. The edges are black and it's like a box. Once I fully remove the paper, I realize it's a set of makeup. A lot of makeup!

"Wow! Thank you so much to whoever got me this." I smile happily.

"So you do like it?" Gemma smirks.

"Of course! It was you right?" I question her.

"Yeah. I just thought you'd really like it since you do flawless makeup."

"Thank you Gemma." I move to kiss her cheek.

"Who's next?" Lottie beams excitedly.

--

We end up going to bed until two in the morning. Everyone loves their presents as I can tell. Only one present stays under the tree. I notice it has Harry's name on the tag.

Adam told me tomorrow morning he'd be waking up very early to go with his dad to a job. I honestly don't mind being alone with Adam's family anymore, they are all so nice and protecting.

As I lay on the bed, I realize why I can't sleep. My cup of water! Adam is already dozed off so I get up and walk downstairs.

I get a cup from the counter and fill it up with water.

"What's with you and water?" Harry's voice startles me.

"Can't sleep without it." I admit.

"Are you okay?" I turn to him. He stands a few feet away from me. He peels an orange.

"Yup." He makes eye contact.

"Why?" Harry's left brow arches.

"I don't know...you left the party too early." I refer to the Christmas presents openings as the party.

"I was just tired." He insists.

"Oh okay." I reply after finishing the cup of water.

"Wanna join me?" He questions me, confusing me.

"For?" I furrow my brows.

"Opening my present." He begins to step out of the kitchen.

"Sure." I follow him into the living room.

The Christmas tree and the lights around the windows are the only ones that light up the place, but it looks so beautiful.

I plop myself down beside him on the carpet by the Christmas tree.

I wear my warm pajama gray sweats and a tight gray shirt. He wears black loose sweatpants and a white t-shirt.

He stretches his long legs on the carpet, meanwhile I cross mine.

Harry pulls the present up to his lap. He unwraps it in a fast motion, but he seems to be struggling. I watch him a amusement.

"Need help?" I giggle at his struggle.

"Who wrapped this?" He keeps on trying to rip it all.

"No Harry, try doing this." I lean closer to him and pull out the taped edge.

He looks at me as we are leaned too close.

"Thanks." He then turns back to the gift and finally manages to pull off the wrapper.

I watch him carefully as he opens the box. Inside lays a really beautiful button up flowery shirt.

He pulls it out and admires it with a smile.

"You're so pretty." I comment. He turns to me. Oh shit, not that!

"I mean, it's so pretty...the shirt." I stutter so much.

Harry's eyes stare intently into mine.

"Who gave you the gift?" I try and make him stare at something else, rather than me.

"Umm..my mum." He finally turns to stare at the name tag.

"She knows about fashion." I answer.

"Yeah, so do you. Wearing Versace pajamas." His finger pokes the side on my waist, where the little Versace logo sits. I flinch a bit back at his touch.

"Are you ticklish?" A smirk hints up on his face.

"No." I lie because truly, I'm such a ticklish person.

"Oh really?" He pushes. His large hand moves over to my waist.

"No, please don't!" I begin laughing already.

"I thought you weren't ticklish?" He suddenly attacks my side. Trying to pulls his hand away, but he's quite strong. I push myself backwards, falling on my back but he's fast.

He's suddenly leaning closer to me. His body kneeled beside me. Harry then stops all his movements and stares into my eyes.

Our eyes stare lustfully into each other. I swallow the lump in my throat, as I admire his really good looks.

"Fuck it." Harry suddenly grabs my waist, but instead of tickling me, he pulls me up.

He brings me to sit on his lap with an unimaginable strength. My legs lay on each side of his thighs. I can feel his parts against mine, but instead of moving off, I sit there frozen.

"Harry?" I begin, but his name is the only thing to escape from my mouth.  My heart beats so fast, I feel like I can have a heart attack any second now.

Suddenly, I grab his face from both sides and pull him into mine. Our lips suddenly crash. He then hungrily kisses me. Both sides push in more, making us loose all breath.

His plump, pink lips feel so amazing with the way they mold with mine. My hands snake into his long hair. I then feel his hands grip onto my waist, giving me a light squeeze.

Our tongues move in a rhythm. His large, soft hands snake into my shirt. I feel his whole palm admire my skin. His crotch begins to grow more as he touches me.

His hands then go further up, stopping right under my boobs. In the background, I hear a door open.

I suddenly jump off of his lap and sit beside him. I then hear the footsteps from the stairs.
