Adore [H.S.]

"She is." I agree, making a mental note to thank Jaz for letting Nat come here and stay with us. I also made a note to slap her for not telling me my sister was coming. 

I jump on Nat one more, attacking her face with kisses. "Ew, get off me you weirdo." She screams, pushing me away but not succeeding. 

Suddenly, a cough comes from behind us. I pull away from Nat to see Harry standing awkwardly at my bedroom door. I grin over at him, waving him over. "Harry! Look - my sister! She's here!" 

Harry makes his way over to where we sit. His hands are in his pockets and his strides are long. He has a small smile on his face. I glance over at Natalia. I hold back the laugh that wants to escape at her starstruck expression. 

"That's him?" She mouths to me. I nod quickly. "Wow," she mouths once again. 

Shaking my head, an amused grin on my lips, I stand up. I pull Nat up with me. She stands beside me, awkwardly, before shaking her hands at her sides. She takes a step ahead, "Hey! I'm Nat." 

She pulls Harry into a hug. His arms stay beside him. He stands there stiff while my sister hugs the life out of him. I bite my lip from bursting out laughing. "Uh, hey." He pats her back once. 

Natalia finally lets go of him and takes a step back. "It's nice to meet you. I've heard a ton about you." 

Harry scratches the back of his neck. His floppy curls falling in front of his face, causing him to push them back instinctively. "Yeah. 'Mm, you too." 

Natalia looks at Harry and then back at me. Her eyes glistening with so much excitement that I can feel it radiating off of her small frame. A small giggle escapes her lips before she turns around and grabs her back from outside. "I'm guessing that's your bedroom?" She nods towards the room that Harry just walked out from. 

"Yeah."

"Great. I'm going to go and freshen up." 

I give her a quick nod before she makes her way towards my bedroom. Harry quirks an eyebrow. Curiosity written on his face. He walks towards me, his arms wrapping around my body. "So that's the sister." 

"That's her." My hands wrap around his neck. My fingers automatically playing with the curls at the base of his neck. He smiles down at me. His dimple showing. 

"She seems... friendly." He says, referring to her overly excited hug. 

I let out a chuckle, shaking my head slightly. "Yeah. She's a hugger." 

Harry hums a response before leaning down and leaving a soft kiss to my forehead. "It's nice that she's here, yeah? You're happy." 

"Yeah. It is," I say back. It really was. This was the one thing that I had hoped for. My birthday wish, if you will. "I'm happy." 

I hear my bedroom door open. I tilt my head to the side, looking over Harry's arm. Nat stands at the door, smiling at me. She mouths out the word bathroom and I nod towards the door. She winks once before walking towards the right direction. She shuts the door softly behind her, leaving Harry and I alone once again.  

Harry's stomach begins to grumble, causing me to giggle. "Hungry?" 

"Very," he chuckles. "We should go get dinner. Very hungry." 

"I'd like that." I say. I rub my hands up and down Harry's arms before leaning in and kissing his cheek. "I'll go see if Nat is up for it. She's probably tired from traveling."

"Right," he says. "You should go do that." 

Reluctantly, I break free from his grasp and walk towards the bathroom door. I knock lightly on the wooden door. "Come in," Nat says from the other side. Her voice muffled by the door. I open it up slowly. She is standing in front of the bathroom mirror, a hairbrush in hand. Her hand struggles to brush through the knotted mess that her hair had somehow gotten itself into.
