(TWENTY FOUR)

The two walked to Mickey's diner, where Adam agreed to meet Charlie. Apparently, Adam didn't know that Harvey would get there today. He thought that her and Luis were coming tomorrow.

    "So you aren't staying?" Harvey watched as Charlie shook his head while they headed towards the doors of the diner. "Well, thanks for doing this anyway, Char." Charlie smiled and nodded his head as the walked in, only for Charlie's mom to gasp and run up to the girl. Both kids held their finger to their lips and pointed to one lonely looking Banks. Casey nodded her head and silently hugged the Mendoza girl.

    "I missed you, Harv." Harvey told Casey that she missed her too before letting go of her and walking towards her boyfriend. She smiled as she placed both hands over his eyes and whispered in his ear.

    "Do you mind if I take the hoodie you have on now or?" Adam shot up from his seat and smiled when he saw his now older looking girlfriend standing in front of him. His fingers latched onto her bet loops and pulled her towards him, placing his lips on her. She felt Adam smile while he kissed her, and pulled away before pulling him back in for a bone crushing hug. "I missed you so much, Banksie." He pulled away smiling and placed kisses all around her face, making her laugh.

    "I missed that." She furrowed her brows and looked at him confused. "Hearing you laugh all the time." She smiled and pecked his lips one more time before he grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the door.

    "Where are we going, Banks?" The girl waved to Charlie and Casey, telling them bye as they waved back.

    "My house." Adam looked at Harvey to make sure she was okay with meeting his parents for the first time, but she's talked to them before.

    "Adam, hunny. Who are you on the phone with?" Adam pulled away from the phone and looked at his mom, who was leaning up against the doorframe.

    "Harvey, my girlfriend." Harvey could hear Mrs. Banks gasp on the other end, making her smile. "Babe, she wants to talk to you."

    "Well then hand her the phone." Adam chuckled as his mother happily took the phone from his hand. "Hi Mrs. Banks, lovely to finally meet you."

    "Please Harvey, just call me Beth." Harvey let out a small ok, making Adam chuckle a bit. "So you're the one that's making my Adam happy?" Harvey smiled even bigger as she talked on the phone with Adam's mom.

    "We make each other happy, Mrs.Ba- Beth." After that, whenever Harvey and Adam were on the phone, Harvey and Beth talked too. Beth always told Harvey that she was always welcomed at the Banks' house which made Adam happy. After a couple calls, Harvey met Mr. Banks, well Harold or Harry. They invited her and Luis to their house the next time they came to Minnesota.

Turns out, that day would be today. Adam chuckled as his girlfriend jumped on his back and peppered kisses on his cheek.

    "You ready?" The girl smiled and jumped off of his back before grabbing his hand.

    "Always." The two entered the house and were immediately greeted by the voice of Bethany Banks.

    "Mom? I have a surprise for you." The movement in the living room stopped as Adam closed the door, with Harvey's hand still in his. Harvey saw Beth walk out of the kitchen and her eyes lit up when she saw Harvey.

    "Is it her, Adam? Is it Harvey?" Adam nodded his head as Beth gasped before making her way towards Harvey with her arms opened wide. "Hello, sweetie. Your absolutely stunning." The girl smiled and pulled away from the woman.

    "You are too." The three talked for about twenty minutes before Adam dragged Harvey upstairs. "Banks, what are you doing now?" Adam said nothing and just kept walking to his room with Harvey trailing right behind him. Adam opened the door and let his girlfriend in first, following after her as she looked around the room. She was quick to spot the picture on the nightstand. It was of her and Adam during movie night with the whole team. In the picture, the two were cuddled up on her bed, while Harvey was focused on the movie, Adam looked down at her lovingly. It was the day after they admitted to liking each other and it was the day he realized that he was truly in love with the girl that was being held in his arms. She smiled and turned to Adam who was laying on his bed, half asleep. Harvey giggled as Adam smiled and opened his arms out wide. "So you brought me in here so I would take a nap with you?" He nodded his head as Harvey took off her shoes and crawled under the covers with her boyfriend. "You're lucky I love you, Banks." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist.

    "I am very lucky you love me, Harv. I wouldn't have it any other way." He kissed her forehead and held her in his arms. He missed her not taking naps with him, or taking his clothes, or even playing with his hair. He missed her, and she was finally back in his warm embrace, taking a nap with him once again. "Harv?" She let out a small, hm, letting Adam continue. "You remember the first time we slept in the same bed?" She moved her head away from his chest and looked up at him, nodding.

    "Yeah, you were tired and couldn't get back into your room so you slept on the spare in mine. But then you asked me to stay with you so I slept as far away from you as possible because I was too shy to sleep next to you. After about a minute though, you pulled me towards you and held me the rest of the night." Adam squeezed her tighter and rested his head in the crook of her neck as her fingers twirled his blonde pieces of hair.

    "I've missed you, Harv. I missed doing this." Her fingers ran through his hair as she smiled.

    "I've missed it too, babe."
