Sofia's POV
" Do we have to go ? ", Harry whined turning on the car . I rolled my eyes at the twenty two whining like a three year old , he was being reluctant to go visit his mum , he was also complaning about turning twenty two . It was his birthday today and we were going to go visit his mum like we promised , even though he was chickening out really bad . I don't understand why , his mum is so sweet and not even that , she hasn't seen us since the wedding and Harry is her son , it's only normal that she misses him .
" Archer stop hitting your sister ", I said sternly turning around to look at the fighting twins , well " fighting " they were just kind of smacking each other like always . Swazzy looked annoyed at her older brother , god I hope they don't fight when their older , their already a pain in my ass . Archer looked at me with his big brown eyes in suprise , every day he looked more and more like Harry , it was sort of scary at how rapid they were growing , it was even scarier how much Harry and him looked alike . They had everything in common , everything from the smirk to the curls , the only diffrence was the eye color , Harry was very proud at the fact that Archer looked so much like him , Harry claimed that he would teach him how to flirt at a young age . I tried not to laugh at the expression Archer gave me , he almost looked mad at me , he was cursing me with his eyes , I could tell .
" Harry look he's death glaring me ", I whispered to Harry how was looking straight ahead . Harry chuckled when he saw him from the rear view mirror , in fact Harry laughed at all of the things Archer did . I frowned at him , I couldn't help but to stare at my fiance , yes I know , I can finally say it in my head without sounding like a complete wierd-o . I was just so excited , I could barely contain my smile when I was around him , even though what happen the other night with Gary really set him off . It all happen too quick , we were talking about our old highschool and then suddenly he just kissed me , at first I was frozen , I had no idea what to do , I had never been in that kind of situacion before . I tried to shove him off , but as soon as I did Harry walked in , perfect timing right ? I had never been happier to see Harry ever before in my life , but then he started yelling and I realized that he had just walked in to some other guy kissing me so I had to act quickly . My fist thought was to explain what was happening but then he kicked Gary out an I panicked , but then I got really pissed off about him not letting me explain so I got all mad too . Then it just kind of escalated to me threatning him , I would never take the kids away from him , it was just a threat , but I swear in that moment I saw something else in his eyes . I could tell that he wanted to smack me or something , and honestly I don't know what I would of done if he had . I had to push the memory out of my head , he had forgiven me instantly , he knew how I felt about cheating , cheating was never the answer , ever .
" Babe ", Harry said huskly tearing me away from my thoughts .
" Uh , yeah ", I said with my eyes spaced out into the road ahead of us .
" Did you hear me ? ", Harry asked me chuckling . I finally tore my eyes away from the rode to look up to him , his wide grin let me to know that he had been calling my name for a while now . My breath hitched when I saw his beautiful grin , the right side of his mouth tugged up higher than the left , god he was pretty , his green eyes bore into mine with a sweet glimmer in them . I would never get used to his male perfection , the outline of his jaw was close to a perfect angle that I would never get tiered of kissing , it was so sharp so symetrical . It was the dimples that made my legs so weak , he was too perfect .
" Um no sorry , what did you say ? ", I asked nervously bitting my lip .
" I said , hold my hand ", He said extending his free hand to me . I giggled lacing our fingers together , his hand was massive compared to mine ; it basically ate mine . The warmth his hand gave off always made me feel safe for some strange reason , it made me feel like nothing could harm me . I know it's a bit cheesy .
" Babe your so handsome , you know that right ?", I asked looking at his messy chestnut curls , his hair looked almost like a quiff today , it was making me feel dizzy . My heart fluttered at the smirk he blew me , he knew the effect he had on me , cheeky bastard .
" I know you tell me everyday , my confidence is up to the sky ", he said looking at the road with a smile . His smile deeped when I kissed our joined hands .
" So will your dad be there ?", I asked remembering our early conversation about his dad . He had told me alittle bit about his father in the begining of our love , he told me something about him being a congress man , or something with politics .
" I think so ", he said looking straight ahead . I knew that his father was a touchy subject for him , he was never really in the mood to talk about his dad , and that was cool with me , I understood his pain . He told me once that his father worked alot when he was younger , so it was just him and mum most of the time . In a way I understood him , my mother worked a lot when I was younger just make ends meet , but Harry's father gave them everything financially , the only thing he lacked was being a father .
" I can't wait for your mum to meet the kids ", I said smiling excitedly while I turned around to see them already passed out . Thank god , even though they had stopped breast feeding they were still constantly hungry , those fatties .
" She's very excited , I could barely calm her down his morning ", he told me chuckling with his eyes still on the road .
" So is it far from here ? ", I asked looking out the window as we left the city . It was a very nice day in London , the sun was shinning through a thick covering of rain clouds giving the city a wet lumicent glow .
" Um a couple of hours ", he said rubbing circles with his thumb . The action automatically relaxed me for some reason , it made my head start to feel heavy and my vision thick . I felt as if gravity was falling heavy on me as I watched him trace circles on my skin , it was just the motion of the sensation that sent my body into a hypnotic state of slumber . Without me really knowing I clunched closer to Harry's large arm , resting my head on his bicep and huggin it with my dear life I snuggled closer to him breathing in his scent . I felt like Swazzy when she clunches to him begging not to be put down . His faint scent filled my nose as I fell into a warm slumber .

" Babe look ", I heard a familiar voice say next to me . I instantly recognized the husky deep voice calling me . Confused I lifted my head from the warm arm that was supporting my head , I was a bit lost until I glanced out the window to see what he wanted me to look at . I smiled when I realized it was a giant banana car , Harry had a thing for bananas for some reason . I laughed at the unsual car next to us on the road , it was paticularly long and yellow , it was obiously made to attract attencion , the neon yellow screamed " look at me ! " .
" Hmm , are we almost there ?", I asked streching my arms in front of me , the popping of my bones let me know I was out for a while .
" Yup , ten more minutes ", he said smiling at me . I caught him looking at my chest before he looked up at my eyes , I smacked his chest playfully .
" Ow ! What was that for ? ", he said rubbing his chest with a big grin . I squinted my eyes at him .
" For looking at my boobs ", I said laughing fixing my shirt .
" I can look at your boobs all I want ", he said childishly . I rolled my eyes at him while I pulled out my make up bag , it was time for touch ups . Harry stared at me funny the wholw time while I fixed my make up , I was barely wearing make up , just blush , mascara and a bit of foundation . My hair was down in my natural waves , I was very happy with my outfit , I was wearing maroon colored jeans that were slightly rolled up from the bottom , my shirt was creme colored that was silky and flowly , it was a tad bit open at the chest area , but covered enough .
" That's what you think ", I mumbled with the coral color lipstick dabbing on my lips .
" That's what I know ", he said back laughing . I smiled at his cheeky-ness before I turned around to check on Archer and Swazzy , they were curiously looking out the windows with paranoid expressions . I loved the little outfits they were wearing , Swazzy was wearing a coral little dress Harry picked out , it was puffy all around making her look like a little cupcake , her curly hair was up to her shoulders now . I wouldn't dare cut it , Harry would murder me first , he loved her hair so much , maybe because it was a perfect combination of mine and his . Archer was wearing something more manly , again Harry picked out the outift , in fact he picked out all of their outfits , he thought they were dolls or something . Archer's little black cardigan made him look like a little man , the white shirt he was wearing contrasted with the blue denim jeans , he looked like a little James Dean or a young Johnny Cash . They were too cute .
" Were here ", Harry annouced as we entred a gate community . I was in shock as we drove farther down the road , it looked like a neighboor hood straight out of Bel Air . The pastel colored houses got bigger and bigger , the houses reminded me of the creppy houses old guys make in their spare time . Like the ones the guy from the Lovely Bones designed , the ones where you can buy little furniture and just be a complete creep about it . The nieghboors where all outside drinking lemonade and watering their garden like it was no tomorrow .
" Whoa ", was I could joke out as we pulled into a house that was slightly diffrent than the others . It was big and white , the tall pillars in front of the door made me gulp , it looked pretty offical , it was like a mini white house .
" Harry is there where you grew up ? ", I asked turning to him . He seemed completly normal , like of we had not just stepped into polly pocket meets barbie neighboor hood .
" Yup ", he said parking into the curved drive way . I nervously gulped as he walked over to open the door for me , it even smelled like fancy China outside , the smell of fresh cut grass filled my scenes as I reached over to open the door to Swazzy's side . She squealed excitedly as I unbuckled her from the car seat , I could hear Harry's cooes as we both shut the door to the car . My eyes trailed up the large house , it was even more intimidating close up , Swazzy patted my cheek for attention as Harry led the way to the gigantic doors . Harry flashed me a smile before he rung the bell , I could hear the loud ringing from inside the house as we waited for it to open . My heart pounded against my chest when I heard Anne's voie from the other side of the white door , all four eyes snaped up when Anne squealed opening the door .
" Sofia ! ", Anne yelled hugging me . It was sort of an akward hug because I still had Swazzy in my arms , I coudl smell Anne's Channel mixing with mine as she excitedly bounced up and down as she looked at Swazzy .
" Oh my god ! She looks just like you ! ", Anne yelled taking Swazzy from me . Swazzy looked scared out of her mind until Anne clunched her to her chest tightly , then Swazzy started to giggle like the sweetheart she is .
" Look at her hair ! ", Anne squealed holding Swazzy back to get a good look at her . I laughed at how heart waming this was , it was so nice that she was finally meeting her gran kids .
" Oh how rude ! Come in ! ", Anne said swaffting us forwards . Harry held on to my hand as he led us into the large house . My breath hitched when I saw the beautiful stair case in front of me , it was competly white marble that shined perfectly against the floor . The large chanderlier hung perfectly in crystal drops iluminating the grand room , it was perfect .
" Wow Anne this is beautiful ", I said gasping as she led us into the kitchen , she now held onto Archer too .
" Thank you ! As Harry to give you a tour ! I'll go call your father ! ", Anne yelled as she exited the white kitchen .
" Come on ", Harry said grinning as I took in every aspect of the house . I giggled as we ran hand in hand up the stairs , his curls bounce with him as he ran up laughing . I was glad Harry was leading me , I would of gotten lost . He led down a large hallway until he stopped at a door near the end of the dim lit hallway .
" My old room ", he said laughing . I smiled when he bent down to give me a small peck . I giggled as he opened the large door . I stopped dead in my tracks when I walked in the old room of my curly haired lover . It was like Star Wars mets Glaxtic Wars .
" Harry ! ", I yelled covering my mouth . He was the wierdest kid . Everything about the room yelled " I was a nerd and proud ! " I couldn't hold back the giggles that escaped my mouth as I walked around the old room , everything was perfetly clean . Millions of action figures decorated the walls , god knows what they were , there was hundred of lego made spaceships . Harry was nervously smiling as he sat down on his old bed that was now the size of his legs , to my suprise it was a Star Wars bed spread . My smile grew when I walked over to his book shelf , he had a lot of the books I read , all mostly classics . Wuthering Heights , Anne of Green Gables , it went on .
" You are so weird ! ", I yelled tackling him to his old bed . He laughed as he held on to my hips as I looked around the room again , it was nothing like his personality now , this was bright and full of color , nothing compared to our flat decor .
" You were such a nerd ", I said laughing with my hands on his toned chest . His dimples where fully intented as I smiled down at my nerd .
" Your so cute ", I told giggling as I bent down to give him a kiss .
" Hmm who knew that I would be making out with a girl in my old room ", he mumbled as I kissed his jaw . I let out a chuckle , really , who new that the nerd would have such a hot girlfriend . That always happens .
" Well the nerd always get the hottest girls ", I murmerd against his neck .
" Harry ? ", Anne's voice rang in the hallway . I squealed jumping off him . I felt like a teenager that was caught as Anne walked into his old room , Harry was all red , I laughed as he covered his face from embarrasment .
" Come down stairs , your father is here , come on , we don't want you two making another baby in here ", Anne said giggling as she closed the door behind her . I covered my mouth as I stiffed the giggles that wanted to escape my lips , Harry was still blushing .
" Come Star Wars lets go ", I said getting up from his nerdy bed . I was about to open the door when a large pair of hands gripped my waist pinning me to his back .
" Your not going to get away from calling me that ", he huskily whispered in my ear . I giggled pulling him out of the room , this time I led the way . I could hear a deeper laugh coming from the kitchen as we neared it , I was instantly taken back from the familiar ring to it .
" Dad ? ", Harry asked taking my hand . Sitting right there on the table was a man with Archer and Swazzy happily bouncing on his lap . I gasped at how much Harry looked like him . Same smirk , same green eyes , same cheeky smile . I was looking at Harry in thirty years .
" Son ! ", Harry's dad yelled getting up ,he handed Anne our babies as he rushed to hug Harry , Harry was a head taller than him . I stood there not really knowing what to do , they were so alike but so diffrent , Harry was wearing dark jeans and a white button up while his dad was wearing all white . Literally , white polo shorts and shirts , he looked like he a golfer .
" I've missed you ! ", Harry's dad said pulling away . His green eyes flickered to me .
" Ah you must be Sofia ", Harry's dad said pulling away with a very intrested look on his face . His expressions reminded me of Aro from Twilight , his way of saying my name me shiver .
" Hi nice to meet you ", I said extending my hand , he had other ideas . He pulled me into a tight hug , the smell of old spice and expensive colloge filled my scenes .
" Your so lovely , please call me Andrew ", Andrew said pulling away from me , his large hands took hold of my shoulders as he scanned me up and down .
" Your even prettier in person ", he said turning to Harry who was watching us closely . I let out a nervous laugh , I had no idea what to do , should I talk about the finacial problems in India or the depth America is in ?
" Thank you ", I said smiling . My body relaxed when Harry walked over to hold my hand , It's not that I was uncomfortable , I'm just saying , I wouldn't want to be alone with the guy .
" Alright , lets eat ", Anne announced clapping . We all followed her as she led us to an outside patio , it was all too beautiful , the white metal dinning table was perfectly decorated with sliver ware . Now I was getting nervous , I had no idea what to do , or what to say , all I did was cling to Harry as they sat Archer and Swazzy to miniture chairs with us .
" I hope you like clams ", Harry whispered in my ear making me giggle as we sat down .
" So Sofia ", Andrew began with him opening the trays of food . The sea food filled my nose as he poured himself clams .
" I hear that you were a dancer ", Andrew said smiling kindly .
" Um I was ", I said smiling back . Anne was totally observed in Swazzy's hair making me feel more relaxed that she was here .
" Was that your first carreer choice ? ", Andrew asked on a more serious note . I felt Harry stiffen up besides me .
" Actually no , I went to collage for a teaching degree , special ed actually . I mastered in that for a couple of years until I started dancing ", I said thruthfully . It was true , I had wanted to be a special ed teacher for a long time , ever since I can remember actually .
" Oh wow so a teacher ", Anne said as she feed a bit of yogurt to Archer .
" What led you to choose that carreer ? ", Andrew asked leaning in .
" Um well ever since I was in high school I used to volunteer with the kids , and I grew very attached with them so I just wanted to do something that I knew how to do , and a teacher has good hours , its not the highest pay but I love helping ", I said to him with a smile .
" That's lovely Sofia ", Anne said sending me a heart warming smile .
" Did you ever feel uncomfortable around them ?", Andrew asked with a frown .
" Dad", Harry said sternly . I let out a chuckle , people always asked me this , I was used to it .
" No I never felt uncomfortable , I think that people forget that they have feelings and they like to joke around and have fun , just because they have a disability people think that their aliens or not people . But it's the complete opposite , I have meet the most intresting people with them . Their normal people ", I said to Andrew directly . Harry turned around to give me a warm smile , he squeezed me hand lightly .
" That's intresting , so you worked with them , how does that work ? ", Andrew asked really intrested leaning in .
" Well I basically thought one in paticular , his name was Andres and he got in a very bad accident , and it completely paralized him , it left half of his brain shattered . So I would take him to his classes , but the thing is that this guy was normal at one point , he had girlfriends and he hung out with his friends , he was a normal teenager . But after the accident he had to be wheeled around all day , and I would feed him and clean him , almost like if he was my child ", I said looking deeply into the icy green eyes of Andrew . I smiled when I remembered Andres smiling face .
" There was a point wher he had a crush on me , he would get mad when he saw me in the hallway talking to other guys ", I said chuckling .
" I think that is an excellent career Sofia ", Andrew said smiling . Harry and Anne's head snapped at his comment , I'm guessing their not used to that .
" Thank you ", I said taking a sip of my water .
" So dad ", Harry said sitting up .
" Yes son ? ", Andrew said sitting up from his relaxed position . The wind was blowing lightly as they had a small stare off , at first I was kind of confused at what was happening but then Anne spoke up .
" Boy's not here ", Anne said sternly .
" Sofi where did you say you where from ? ", Anne said changing the subject .
" Um well my mom is Latina and my father is from Spain ", I told her squeezing Harry's hand under the table . I sighned in relief when he relaxed back into his chair , Andrew soon following .
" Oh ! That's lovely ! Do you speak spanish ?! ", Anne asked excitedly .
" I do actually ! ", I said laughing .
" I actually speak it more when I'm mad ", I said smiling at Harry who was already smiling down at me .
" Whoa so Harry makes you mad a lot ?", Andrew asked with a tight smile . Something tells me that comment had a deeper meaning .
" Actually no , not at all , he's very peaceful ! He's amazing ", I told his father pulling him off his high .
" Oh really ? How so ? ", Andrew asked smiling at me .
" Well he's a complete gentleman and he's very cheeky and he's sweet and he spoils me for no reason ", I said smiling hugely as a hint of blush crept to my cheeks .
" Well that is is how I raised my son ", Anne said pinching Harry's cheeks . We all let out a loud laugh at the motherly actions of Anne , especially when Harry blushed .
*****
" So I would tell Harry not to open his eyes but he did everytime ! ", Anne said laughing while she held her stomach . We spent the whole evening talking about Harry and his childhood adventures , the twinkling light above us made me feel supisingly at home . Anne was telling us about how Harry would always open his eyes with soap in them , then he would burst out crying of the pain .
" No ! No wait ! And then he would run naked from me when I tried to clothe him ! ", Anne said whipping a tear while she held onto Andrews forearm .
" He still does that ! ", I exclaimed laughing . The table broke out in laughter , Harry had his arm wrapped around my shoulders as I rested against his chest , it was all too funny .
" Oh Harry ", Anne said giving him a scoll . Butterflies flew to my stomach when Harry placed a loving kiss on my temple while he laughed .
" Wait you guys never told us how you two met ! ", Anne said boucing up and down .
" Oh I'll let Harry tell you that one ", I said chuckling while I took a sip of the amazing wine Andrew shared with us .
" Hmm how did we meet , let's see ", Harry said laughing with his forehead pressed to my temple .
" I'm serious tell us ! ", Anne said chuckling .
" Okay well I went to this club and I'm just sitting there looking for someone nice to talk to , and out of the no where I see this girl with red hair dancing in the dance floor , and I was completly mesmerized by her , but I never got her name because the place started to get really crowed and out of the no where the place starts to go paranoid it goes absolutely wild . And theres people screaming and trying to get out , and out of the corner of my eye I see this red haired girl being eaten by then sea of people - ", Harry began while he looked straight in my eyes .
" Wait I was not being eaten my the sea of people ", I said turning to Harry with a scroll .
" Yes you were ", Harry said laughing .
" Was not ! ", I yelled laughing back
" Was too , anyway so I help her out of the club to this alley and she's just there looking scared so me being the gentleman I am , offer to take her to a small cafe across the street . And then we just started talking and talking so when I was about to leave I invited her to the beach , and since then it's been kind of magical ", Harry said smiling looking into my brown eyes .
" Awh ! So what happen at the beach ? ", Anne asked with a huge smile , I noticed that even his dad was in Awe .
" Um well we had our first kiss there ", Harry said blushing . He blushed even deeper when I lent forward to press a kiss to his forehead .
" And then ? ", Andrew asked captivated by the story .
" Well then we didn't talk for a while , until I was walking down the street anf this crazy lady bumps into me and completly blacks out from the impact ", Harry said to his father with the most genuine smile I have seen them share the whole night .
" Hey ! ", I yelled smacking his chest .
" I was that crazy lady ! ", I exclaimed while Andrew chuckled .
" You two bumped into each other !? ", Andrew asked excitedly .
" It was more like a collision ", I said to Andrew . He let out a loud laugh .
" Wait so go on ", Anne said nudging Harry's arm .
" Okay So I'm like I know this girl , I kissed her on the beach , so I carried her back to my flat ", Harry said to his mom .
" So after she finally wakes up she's like " I know you ! " she was glad I wasn't a rapist or something , and the crazy chick kisses me again ", Harry said to his dad that was totally observed in the story .
" You kissed me ! ", I said bouncing up and down .
" Did not , babe don't lie ", Harry said to me with a playful smirk .
" But you did ask me out ", I said matter of factly with my glass of wine in my hands .
" That I did do ", Harry said with a smile .
" You guys are too cute ", Andrew said reaching for Harry's hand . Anne had tears in her eyes when the gesture ended , Harry looked like he was in shock .
" Sofia will you came with me to get the dessert ? ", Anne asked kindly getting up .
" Yeah sure ", I said letting go of Harry who still looked like he had seen a ghost . Anne held on to my waist as she led us into the giant kitchen , I smiled when she suddenly pulled me into a tight hug .
" I hadn't seen them laugh with each other in years ", Anne sobbed in my neck . I was completly taken back by her words , how long had it been since Harry spoke to his dad ? Or better yet be loving with him . All I could simply do was hug Anne back with as much comfort I could radiate from my still schocked body .
" You brought them together ", Anne said with her hands cupping my cheeks . Her red stained eyes held so much more than just thank you , it was full of love and dispear .
" Thank you Sofia ", Anne said kissing my forehead . I was about to say something when Harry walked in with curiosity written all over his face .
" Mum dad wants you ", Harry said pulling her away from me . Anne gave me a quick smile before she vanished back into the patio , a warm feeling spread through me when Harry pulled me into a hug . My head burried in his chest taking in the smell I would never get used to , his hands found their way to my back pressing me to him , I could feel his lips on my temple as he kissed it as he did before .
" I love you so much Sofia ", Harry weakily whispered in my ear as his head lowered to the crook of my neck . I was about to answer back when I felt a wet substance hit my neck , the tear rolling down my breast . Harry wrapped his arms tightly around me while I held him by then neck afraid to let go . Our feet padded blindly around until he pulled us into a chair , his head was still burried in my neck as he sat down on top of him . Comforting him my hands stroked hid curly mop of curls as he softly sobbed into my chest like a toddler , it reminded me of Archer when he didn't want me to let him go .
" I love you too Harry ", I whispered back to him . Dragging my hands from his neck I cupped both of his cheeks tilting his head so he would look at me . The expression was heartbreaking .
His nose was a shade of pink along with his trembling lips , his blood shot eyes where now masked with water as he looked up at me like a sad puppy .
" Oh Harry ", I cooed whiping the tear that rolled from under his thick wet lashes . It was moments like this that made me love him so much more , he was never afraid to show that he had emotions , he was a very emotional person .
" Your amazing and your an amazing person , and I love you so much its's crazy . I love you even though you always leave the cupboards open and that you always leave you jacket unhung and I have to hang it back up , and I love every inch of your beautiful body and your beautiful heart ", I told him pinning our foreheads together .
" Do you mean that ? ", Harry asked me with a shaky voice .
" Every word ", I said holding back my tears from spilling .
" Do we have to go ? ", Harry whined turning on the car . I rolled my eyes at the twenty two whining like a three year old , he was being reluctant to go visit his mum , he was also complaning about turning twenty two . It was his birthday today and we were going to go visit his mum like we promised , even though he was chickening out really bad . I don't understand why , his mum is so sweet and not even that , she hasn't seen us since the wedding and Harry is her son , it's only normal that she misses him .
" Archer stop hitting your sister ", I said sternly turning around to look at the fighting twins , well " fighting " they were just kind of smacking each other like always . Swazzy looked annoyed at her older brother , god I hope they don't fight when their older , their already a pain in my ass . Archer looked at me with his big brown eyes in suprise , every day he looked more and more like Harry , it was sort of scary at how rapid they were growing , it was even scarier how much Harry and him looked alike . They had everything in common , everything from the smirk to the curls , the only diffrence was the eye color , Harry was very proud at the fact that Archer looked so much like him , Harry claimed that he would teach him how to flirt at a young age . I tried not to laugh at the expression Archer gave me , he almost looked mad at me , he was cursing me with his eyes , I could tell .
" Harry look he's death glaring me ", I whispered to Harry how was looking straight ahead . Harry chuckled when he saw him from the rear view mirror , in fact Harry laughed at all of the things Archer did . I frowned at him , I couldn't help but to stare at my fiance , yes I know , I can finally say it in my head without sounding like a complete wierd-o . I was just so excited , I could barely contain my smile when I was around him , even though what happen the other night with Gary really set him off . It all happen too quick , we were talking about our old highschool and then suddenly he just kissed me , at first I was frozen , I had no idea what to do , I had never been in that kind of situacion before . I tried to shove him off , but as soon as I did Harry walked in , perfect timing right ? I had never been happier to see Harry ever before in my life , but then he started yelling and I realized that he had just walked in to some other guy kissing me so I had to act quickly . My fist thought was to explain what was happening but then he kicked Gary out an I panicked , but then I got really pissed off about him not letting me explain so I got all mad too . Then it just kind of escalated to me threatning him , I would never take the kids away from him , it was just a threat , but I swear in that moment I saw something else in his eyes . I could tell that he wanted to smack me or something , and honestly I don't know what I would of done if he had . I had to push the memory out of my head , he had forgiven me instantly , he knew how I felt about cheating , cheating was never the answer , ever .
" Babe ", Harry said huskly tearing me away from my thoughts .
" Uh , yeah ", I said with my eyes spaced out into the road ahead of us .
" Did you hear me ? ", Harry asked me chuckling . I finally tore my eyes away from the rode to look up to him , his wide grin let me to know that he had been calling my name for a while now . My breath hitched when I saw his beautiful grin , the right side of his mouth tugged up higher than the left , god he was pretty , his green eyes bore into mine with a sweet glimmer in them . I would never get used to his male perfection , the outline of his jaw was close to a perfect angle that I would never get tiered of kissing , it was so sharp so symetrical . It was the dimples that made my legs so weak , he was too perfect .
" Um no sorry , what did you say ? ", I asked nervously bitting my lip .
" I said , hold my hand ", He said extending his free hand to me . I giggled lacing our fingers together , his hand was massive compared to mine ; it basically ate mine . The warmth his hand gave off always made me feel safe for some strange reason , it made me feel like nothing could harm me . I know it's a bit cheesy .
" Babe your so handsome , you know that right ?", I asked looking at his messy chestnut curls , his hair looked almost like a quiff today , it was making me feel dizzy . My heart fluttered at the smirk he blew me , he knew the effect he had on me , cheeky bastard .
" I know you tell me everyday , my confidence is up to the sky ", he said looking at the road with a smile . His smile deeped when I kissed our joined hands .
" So will your dad be there ?", I asked remembering our early conversation about his dad . He had told me alittle bit about his father in the begining of our love , he told me something about him being a congress man , or something with politics .
" I think so ", he said looking straight ahead . I knew that his father was a touchy subject for him , he was never really in the mood to talk about his dad , and that was cool with me , I understood his pain . He told me once that his father worked alot when he was younger , so it was just him and mum most of the time . In a way I understood him , my mother worked a lot when I was younger just make ends meet , but Harry's father gave them everything financially , the only thing he lacked was being a father .
" I can't wait for your mum to meet the kids ", I said smiling excitedly while I turned around to see them already passed out . Thank god , even though they had stopped breast feeding they were still constantly hungry , those fatties .
" She's very excited , I could barely calm her down his morning ", he told me chuckling with his eyes still on the road .
" So is it far from here ? ", I asked looking out the window as we left the city . It was a very nice day in London , the sun was shinning through a thick covering of rain clouds giving the city a wet lumicent glow .
" Um a couple of hours ", he said rubbing circles with his thumb . The action automatically relaxed me for some reason , it made my head start to feel heavy and my vision thick . I felt as if gravity was falling heavy on me as I watched him trace circles on my skin , it was just the motion of the sensation that sent my body into a hypnotic state of slumber . Without me really knowing I clunched closer to Harry's large arm , resting my head on his bicep and huggin it with my dear life I snuggled closer to him breathing in his scent . I felt like Swazzy when she clunches to him begging not to be put down . His faint scent filled my nose as I fell into a warm slumber .
****
" Babe look ", I heard a familiar voice say next to me . I instantly recognized the husky deep voice calling me . Confused I lifted my head from the warm arm that was supporting my head , I was a bit lost until I glanced out the window to see what he wanted me to look at . I smiled when I realized it was a giant banana car , Harry had a thing for bananas for some reason . I laughed at the unsual car next to us on the road , it was paticularly long and yellow , it was obiously made to attract attencion , the neon yellow screamed " look at me ! " .
" Hmm , are we almost there ?", I asked streching my arms in front of me , the popping of my bones let me know I was out for a while .
" Yup , ten more minutes ", he said smiling at me . I caught him looking at my chest before he looked up at my eyes , I smacked his chest playfully .
" Ow ! What was that for ? ", he said rubbing his chest with a big grin . I squinted my eyes at him .
" For looking at my boobs ", I said laughing fixing my shirt .
" I can look at your boobs all I want ", he said childishly . I rolled my eyes at him while I pulled out my make up bag , it was time for touch ups . Harry stared at me funny the wholw time while I fixed my make up , I was barely wearing make up , just blush , mascara and a bit of foundation . My hair was down in my natural waves , I was very happy with my outfit , I was wearing maroon colored jeans that were slightly rolled up from the bottom , my shirt was creme colored that was silky and flowly , it was a tad bit open at the chest area , but covered enough .
" That's what you think ", I mumbled with the coral color lipstick dabbing on my lips .
" That's what I know ", he said back laughing . I smiled at his cheeky-ness before I turned around to check on Archer and Swazzy , they were curiously looking out the windows with paranoid expressions . I loved the little outfits they were wearing , Swazzy was wearing a coral little dress Harry picked out , it was puffy all around making her look like a little cupcake , her curly hair was up to her shoulders now . I wouldn't dare cut it , Harry would murder me first , he loved her hair so much , maybe because it was a perfect combination of mine and his . Archer was wearing something more manly , again Harry picked out the outift , in fact he picked out all of their outfits , he thought they were dolls or something . Archer's little black cardigan made him look like a little man , the white shirt he was wearing contrasted with the blue denim jeans , he looked like a little James Dean or a young Johnny Cash . They were too cute .
" Were here ", Harry annouced as we entred a gate community . I was in shock as we drove farther down the road , it looked like a neighboor hood straight out of Bel Air . The pastel colored houses got bigger and bigger , the houses reminded me of the creppy houses old guys make in their spare time . Like the ones the guy from the Lovely Bones designed , the ones where you can buy little furniture and just be a complete creep about it . The nieghboors where all outside drinking lemonade and watering their garden like it was no tomorrow .
" Whoa ", was I could joke out as we pulled into a house that was slightly diffrent than the others . It was big and white , the tall pillars in front of the door made me gulp , it looked pretty offical , it was like a mini white house .
" Harry is there where you grew up ? ", I asked turning to him . He seemed completly normal , like of we had not just stepped into polly pocket meets barbie neighboor hood .
" Yup ", he said parking into the curved drive way . I nervously gulped as he walked over to open the door for me , it even smelled like fancy China outside , the smell of fresh cut grass filled my scenes as I reached over to open the door to Swazzy's side . She squealed excitedly as I unbuckled her from the car seat , I could hear Harry's cooes as we both shut the door to the car . My eyes trailed up the large house , it was even more intimidating close up , Swazzy patted my cheek for attention as Harry led the way to the gigantic doors . Harry flashed me a smile before he rung the bell , I could hear the loud ringing from inside the house as we waited for it to open . My heart pounded against my chest when I heard Anne's voie from the other side of the white door , all four eyes snaped up when Anne squealed opening the door .
" Sofia ! ", Anne yelled hugging me . It was sort of an akward hug because I still had Swazzy in my arms , I coudl smell Anne's Channel mixing with mine as she excitedly bounced up and down as she looked at Swazzy .
" Oh my god ! She looks just like you ! ", Anne yelled taking Swazzy from me . Swazzy looked scared out of her mind until Anne clunched her to her chest tightly , then Swazzy started to giggle like the sweetheart she is .
" Look at her hair ! ", Anne squealed holding Swazzy back to get a good look at her . I laughed at how heart waming this was , it was so nice that she was finally meeting her gran kids .
" Oh how rude ! Come in ! ", Anne said swaffting us forwards . Harry held on to my hand as he led us into the large house . My breath hitched when I saw the beautiful stair case in front of me , it was competly white marble that shined perfectly against the floor . The large chanderlier hung perfectly in crystal drops iluminating the grand room , it was perfect .
" Wow Anne this is beautiful ", I said gasping as she led us into the kitchen , she now held onto Archer too .
" Thank you ! As Harry to give you a tour ! I'll go call your father ! ", Anne yelled as she exited the white kitchen .
" Come on ", Harry said grinning as I took in every aspect of the house . I giggled as we ran hand in hand up the stairs , his curls bounce with him as he ran up laughing . I was glad Harry was leading me , I would of gotten lost . He led down a large hallway until he stopped at a door near the end of the dim lit hallway .
" My old room ", he said laughing . I smiled when he bent down to give me a small peck . I giggled as he opened the large door . I stopped dead in my tracks when I walked in the old room of my curly haired lover . It was like Star Wars mets Glaxtic Wars .
" Harry ! ", I yelled covering my mouth . He was the wierdest kid . Everything about the room yelled " I was a nerd and proud ! " I couldn't hold back the giggles that escaped my mouth as I walked around the old room , everything was perfetly clean . Millions of action figures decorated the walls , god knows what they were , there was hundred of lego made spaceships . Harry was nervously smiling as he sat down on his old bed that was now the size of his legs , to my suprise it was a Star Wars bed spread . My smile grew when I walked over to his book shelf , he had a lot of the books I read , all mostly classics . Wuthering Heights , Anne of Green Gables , it went on .
" You are so weird ! ", I yelled tackling him to his old bed . He laughed as he held on to my hips as I looked around the room again , it was nothing like his personality now , this was bright and full of color , nothing compared to our flat decor .
" You were such a nerd ", I said laughing with my hands on his toned chest . His dimples where fully intented as I smiled down at my nerd .
" Your so cute ", I told giggling as I bent down to give him a kiss .
" Hmm who knew that I would be making out with a girl in my old room ", he mumbled as I kissed his jaw . I let out a chuckle , really , who new that the nerd would have such a hot girlfriend . That always happens .
" Well the nerd always get the hottest girls ", I murmerd against his neck .
" Harry ? ", Anne's voice rang in the hallway . I squealed jumping off him . I felt like a teenager that was caught as Anne walked into his old room , Harry was all red , I laughed as he covered his face from embarrasment .
" Come down stairs , your father is here , come on , we don't want you two making another baby in here ", Anne said giggling as she closed the door behind her . I covered my mouth as I stiffed the giggles that wanted to escape my lips , Harry was still blushing .
" Come Star Wars lets go ", I said getting up from his nerdy bed . I was about to open the door when a large pair of hands gripped my waist pinning me to his back .
" Your not going to get away from calling me that ", he huskily whispered in my ear . I giggled pulling him out of the room , this time I led the way . I could hear a deeper laugh coming from the kitchen as we neared it , I was instantly taken back from the familiar ring to it .
" Dad ? ", Harry asked taking my hand . Sitting right there on the table was a man with Archer and Swazzy happily bouncing on his lap . I gasped at how much Harry looked like him . Same smirk , same green eyes , same cheeky smile . I was looking at Harry in thirty years .
" Son ! ", Harry's dad yelled getting up ,he handed Anne our babies as he rushed to hug Harry , Harry was a head taller than him . I stood there not really knowing what to do , they were so alike but so diffrent , Harry was wearing dark jeans and a white button up while his dad was wearing all white . Literally , white polo shorts and shirts , he looked like he a golfer .
" I've missed you ! ", Harry's dad said pulling away . His green eyes flickered to me .
" Ah you must be Sofia ", Harry's dad said pulling away with a very intrested look on his face . His expressions reminded me of Aro from Twilight , his way of saying my name me shiver .
" Hi nice to meet you ", I said extending my hand , he had other ideas . He pulled me into a tight hug , the smell of old spice and expensive colloge filled my scenes .
" Your so lovely , please call me Andrew ", Andrew said pulling away from me , his large hands took hold of my shoulders as he scanned me up and down .
" Your even prettier in person ", he said turning to Harry who was watching us closely . I let out a nervous laugh , I had no idea what to do , should I talk about the finacial problems in India or the depth America is in ?
" Thank you ", I said smiling . My body relaxed when Harry walked over to hold my hand , It's not that I was uncomfortable , I'm just saying , I wouldn't want to be alone with the guy .
" Alright , lets eat ", Anne announced clapping . We all followed her as she led us to an outside patio , it was all too beautiful , the white metal dinning table was perfectly decorated with sliver ware . Now I was getting nervous , I had no idea what to do , or what to say , all I did was cling to Harry as they sat Archer and Swazzy to miniture chairs with us .
" I hope you like clams ", Harry whispered in my ear making me giggle as we sat down .
" So Sofia ", Andrew began with him opening the trays of food . The sea food filled my nose as he poured himself clams .
" I hear that you were a dancer ", Andrew said smiling kindly .
" Um I was ", I said smiling back . Anne was totally observed in Swazzy's hair making me feel more relaxed that she was here .
" Was that your first carreer choice ? ", Andrew asked on a more serious note . I felt Harry stiffen up besides me .
" Actually no , I went to collage for a teaching degree , special ed actually . I mastered in that for a couple of years until I started dancing ", I said thruthfully . It was true , I had wanted to be a special ed teacher for a long time , ever since I can remember actually .
" Oh wow so a teacher ", Anne said as she feed a bit of yogurt to Archer .
" What led you to choose that carreer ? ", Andrew asked leaning in .
" Um well ever since I was in high school I used to volunteer with the kids , and I grew very attached with them so I just wanted to do something that I knew how to do , and a teacher has good hours , its not the highest pay but I love helping ", I said to him with a smile .
" That's lovely Sofia ", Anne said sending me a heart warming smile .
" Did you ever feel uncomfortable around them ?", Andrew asked with a frown .
" Dad", Harry said sternly . I let out a chuckle , people always asked me this , I was used to it .
" No I never felt uncomfortable , I think that people forget that they have feelings and they like to joke around and have fun , just because they have a disability people think that their aliens or not people . But it's the complete opposite , I have meet the most intresting people with them . Their normal people ", I said to Andrew directly . Harry turned around to give me a warm smile , he squeezed me hand lightly .
" That's intresting , so you worked with them , how does that work ? ", Andrew asked really intrested leaning in .
" Well I basically thought one in paticular , his name was Andres and he got in a very bad accident , and it completely paralized him , it left half of his brain shattered . So I would take him to his classes , but the thing is that this guy was normal at one point , he had girlfriends and he hung out with his friends , he was a normal teenager . But after the accident he had to be wheeled around all day , and I would feed him and clean him , almost like if he was my child ", I said looking deeply into the icy green eyes of Andrew . I smiled when I remembered Andres smiling face .
" There was a point wher he had a crush on me , he would get mad when he saw me in the hallway talking to other guys ", I said chuckling .
" I think that is an excellent career Sofia ", Andrew said smiling . Harry and Anne's head snapped at his comment , I'm guessing their not used to that .
" Thank you ", I said taking a sip of my water .
" So dad ", Harry said sitting up .
" Yes son ? ", Andrew said sitting up from his relaxed position . The wind was blowing lightly as they had a small stare off , at first I was kind of confused at what was happening but then Anne spoke up .
" Boy's not here ", Anne said sternly .
" Sofi where did you say you where from ? ", Anne said changing the subject .
" Um well my mom is Latina and my father is from Spain ", I told her squeezing Harry's hand under the table . I sighned in relief when he relaxed back into his chair , Andrew soon following .
" Oh ! That's lovely ! Do you speak spanish ?! ", Anne asked excitedly .
" I do actually ! ", I said laughing .
" I actually speak it more when I'm mad ", I said smiling at Harry who was already smiling down at me .
" Whoa so Harry makes you mad a lot ?", Andrew asked with a tight smile . Something tells me that comment had a deeper meaning .
" Actually no , not at all , he's very peaceful ! He's amazing ", I told his father pulling him off his high .
" Oh really ? How so ? ", Andrew asked smiling at me .
" Well he's a complete gentleman and he's very cheeky and he's sweet and he spoils me for no reason ", I said smiling hugely as a hint of blush crept to my cheeks .
" Well that is is how I raised my son ", Anne said pinching Harry's cheeks . We all let out a loud laugh at the motherly actions of Anne , especially when Harry blushed .
*****
" So I would tell Harry not to open his eyes but he did everytime ! ", Anne said laughing while she held her stomach . We spent the whole evening talking about Harry and his childhood adventures , the twinkling light above us made me feel supisingly at home . Anne was telling us about how Harry would always open his eyes with soap in them , then he would burst out crying of the pain .
" No ! No wait ! And then he would run naked from me when I tried to clothe him ! ", Anne said whipping a tear while she held onto Andrews forearm .
" He still does that ! ", I exclaimed laughing . The table broke out in laughter , Harry had his arm wrapped around my shoulders as I rested against his chest , it was all too funny .
" Oh Harry ", Anne said giving him a scoll . Butterflies flew to my stomach when Harry placed a loving kiss on my temple while he laughed .
" Wait you guys never told us how you two met ! ", Anne said boucing up and down .
" Oh I'll let Harry tell you that one ", I said chuckling while I took a sip of the amazing wine Andrew shared with us .
" Hmm how did we meet , let's see ", Harry said laughing with his forehead pressed to my temple .
" I'm serious tell us ! ", Anne said chuckling .
" Okay well I went to this club and I'm just sitting there looking for someone nice to talk to , and out of the no where I see this girl with red hair dancing in the dance floor , and I was completly mesmerized by her , but I never got her name because the place started to get really crowed and out of the no where the place starts to go paranoid it goes absolutely wild . And theres people screaming and trying to get out , and out of the corner of my eye I see this red haired girl being eaten by then sea of people - ", Harry began while he looked straight in my eyes .
" Wait I was not being eaten my the sea of people ", I said turning to Harry with a scroll .
" Yes you were ", Harry said laughing .
" Was not ! ", I yelled laughing back
" Was too , anyway so I help her out of the club to this alley and she's just there looking scared so me being the gentleman I am , offer to take her to a small cafe across the street . And then we just started talking and talking so when I was about to leave I invited her to the beach , and since then it's been kind of magical ", Harry said smiling looking into my brown eyes .
" Awh ! So what happen at the beach ? ", Anne asked with a huge smile , I noticed that even his dad was in Awe .
" Um well we had our first kiss there ", Harry said blushing . He blushed even deeper when I lent forward to press a kiss to his forehead .
" And then ? ", Andrew asked captivated by the story .
" Well then we didn't talk for a while , until I was walking down the street anf this crazy lady bumps into me and completly blacks out from the impact ", Harry said to his father with the most genuine smile I have seen them share the whole night .
" Hey ! ", I yelled smacking his chest .
" I was that crazy lady ! ", I exclaimed while Andrew chuckled .
" You two bumped into each other !? ", Andrew asked excitedly .
" It was more like a collision ", I said to Andrew . He let out a loud laugh .
" Wait so go on ", Anne said nudging Harry's arm .
" Okay So I'm like I know this girl , I kissed her on the beach , so I carried her back to my flat ", Harry said to his mom .
" So after she finally wakes up she's like " I know you ! " she was glad I wasn't a rapist or something , and the crazy chick kisses me again ", Harry said to his dad that was totally observed in the story .
" You kissed me ! ", I said bouncing up and down .
" Did not , babe don't lie ", Harry said to me with a playful smirk .
" But you did ask me out ", I said matter of factly with my glass of wine in my hands .
" That I did do ", Harry said with a smile .
" You guys are too cute ", Andrew said reaching for Harry's hand . Anne had tears in her eyes when the gesture ended , Harry looked like he was in shock .
" Sofia will you came with me to get the dessert ? ", Anne asked kindly getting up .
" Yeah sure ", I said letting go of Harry who still looked like he had seen a ghost . Anne held on to my waist as she led us into the giant kitchen , I smiled when she suddenly pulled me into a tight hug .
" I hadn't seen them laugh with each other in years ", Anne sobbed in my neck . I was completly taken back by her words , how long had it been since Harry spoke to his dad ? Or better yet be loving with him . All I could simply do was hug Anne back with as much comfort I could radiate from my still schocked body .
" You brought them together ", Anne said with her hands cupping my cheeks . Her red stained eyes held so much more than just thank you , it was full of love and dispear .
" Thank you Sofia ", Anne said kissing my forehead . I was about to say something when Harry walked in with curiosity written all over his face .
" Mum dad wants you ", Harry said pulling her away from me . Anne gave me a quick smile before she vanished back into the patio , a warm feeling spread through me when Harry pulled me into a hug . My head burried in his chest taking in the smell I would never get used to , his hands found their way to my back pressing me to him , I could feel his lips on my temple as he kissed it as he did before .
" I love you so much Sofia ", Harry weakily whispered in my ear as his head lowered to the crook of my neck . I was about to answer back when I felt a wet substance hit my neck , the tear rolling down my breast . Harry wrapped his arms tightly around me while I held him by then neck afraid to let go . Our feet padded blindly around until he pulled us into a chair , his head was still burried in my neck as he sat down on top of him . Comforting him my hands stroked hid curly mop of curls as he softly sobbed into my chest like a toddler , it reminded me of Archer when he didn't want me to let him go .
" I love you too Harry ", I whispered back to him . Dragging my hands from his neck I cupped both of his cheeks tilting his head so he would look at me . The expression was heartbreaking .
His nose was a shade of pink along with his trembling lips , his blood shot eyes where now masked with water as he looked up at me like a sad puppy .
" Oh Harry ", I cooed whiping the tear that rolled from under his thick wet lashes . It was moments like this that made me love him so much more , he was never afraid to show that he had emotions , he was a very emotional person .
" Your amazing and your an amazing person , and I love you so much its's crazy . I love you even though you always leave the cupboards open and that you always leave you jacket unhung and I have to hang it back up , and I love every inch of your beautiful body and your beautiful heart ", I told him pinning our foreheads together .
" Do you mean that ? ", Harry asked me with a shaky voice .
" Every word ", I said holding back my tears from spilling .
