“What are you doing during the Easter holidays?” Harry asked, looking at me from where he was sat on the floor, his laptop by his feet.
I shrugged. “Staying here? You?”
“Going home.” He stretched, flickering his eyes towards me.
I shrugged at him and went back to my typing. We were both studying for exams. Well, I was studying. I’d forced him to try and study. In the two and a half months that we’d been dating, I’d done everything I could to make him study better. I was making progress. He now showed up to lessons on time, and all of our teachers were very surprised.
“Come home with me,” he said, suddenly.
I looked at him, frowning. “Are you out of your mind?”
He shook his head. “I’m being serious.”
“I’m not coming home with you.”
“Come on, it’s not like I’m asking you to marry me.”
“I don’t care. It’s a serious thing, meeting someone’s parents.”
“I know it is. It’s why I’m asking you to meet them. You’re my girlfriend, after all.”
He sounded so casual, I did a double take. “We’ve been dating for like, two months.”
“I don’t want you to stay here alone.”
“I won’t be alone. I’ll have Dan.”
“Oh come on.”
“It’s not--”
“Please?” He dragged his ‘e’ out and pouted, and I raised my eyebrows. “You do realise I won’t stop pestering you, right?”
I scowled at him. “What if they hate me?”
He scoffed. “Fat chance. You’re very likeable.”
“Mhm,” I muttered sarcastically. “All I’m saying is, I think it’s too soon.”
“Too soon would be if we were a normal couple. But we aren’t.”
I pondered what he was saying. He was right. Normal couples didn’t see each other pretty much every day, did they? It had gotten to the point where I had some clothes in Harry’s wardrobe (he had made space for me due to the fact that I usually spent so many late nights in his room that we didn’t see in any point in my going back to my room.
Me and Autumn weren’t friends anymore. I had thought that she’d be happy for me, but her and a bunch of other girls were extremely jealous that I had been the one to claim Harry’s heart. Even if it was completely unintentional. Harry had kept to his words, and he hadn’t fought (not in front of me, anyway) with anyone else. He was sweeter than I had expected him to be, and it was a pleasant surprise.
He seemed to sense how I hesitated, and he jumped at the chance. “Come on. Please? I’m not asking you to stay the whole two weeks, you can stay for like three days? If you don’t like it, we can leave. I promise my mum is really nice. So is my stepdad. You’ve already my biological dad, too. Please?”
“Alright,” I said, chewing on my lower lip. “But she’s probably going to agree with me about it being too soon.”
“Nah, she’s cool. Thank you,” he grinned, reaching up and planting a peck on lips. I pushed him away lightly.
“Get back to studying,” I scolded. “You have that engineering exam soon.”

I knocked on Harry’s dorm door, and he opened it, clad in only jeans. I allowed my eyes to roam his body, before snapping my eyes back to his face. He had a smirk on his face. Busted.
