The Strings Attached

Part 22

-------------

She broke it off before. And her family accepted it.
But now they were together again.
And they had to find out.

I was sitting at the gate in the airport, waiting for Harrison and Tom to get some stuff for a store before our flight. I've been texting Sam and Harry, and in the middle of texting them that's when it hit me.

Mum and dad know.

They wouldn't be mad at the fact I'm dating Harrison, because they love the guy. But they would be mad at the fact that I never told her.

How mad is mum
about Harrison and I?

She's not really mad,
more disappointed you
didn't tell her.

She's thrilled that
you and Harrison
are together.

Okay. What about
dad?

Well, I want to
say he's fine but I
mean, your his daughter
so I'm not sure.

Damn. Well it's Harrison
I mean they've knows the
guy forever. I think we are
fine.

Okay. I'm going
to help Paddy. He's
still sick.

Have a nice flight.
I love you.

I love you too

I put my phone in my pocket and slouch down in the chair I was sitting in, now disappointed to go home.

"You okay love?" I hear someone say and look up to find Harrison walking towards me with two coffees in his hand. He gives me one and I slowly nod.

"Yeah I'm fine." I wiggle my nose and look over at Tom who's sitting a few seats down with his headphones in, not listening to is. "Is Tom okay?" I ask.

Harrison looks over at Tom and sighs. "I'm not sure to be honest, I think somethings bothering him." Harrison says.

I sigh and sip my coffee, talking with Harrison until they call us for boarding. I walk over to Tom and he looks up at me, pulling his headphones out. "Time to get up. We have s fought to catch." I smile.

Tom frowns and stuffs his stuff back into his bag and stands up. He mumbles something I can't understand and walks into the line. I look at Harrison who's confused as I am but we both shake it off and get into line. We board the plane and get ready for our long flight back to London.

"I wish this weren't complicated." She says to him.
"I know." He kisses her forehead.
"I love you."
"I love you too."

I sigh and close my laptop. I'm so close to being finished this book. I've sent most of it to my editor who's making careful notes. Then I have to re edit it and send it to my publisher and then if they like it, it should be in stores by November or December.

I look over to my right where Harrison is sound asleep. I look over to the left to see Tom is still awake but he's staring ahead like he's thinking.
