Audrey
This Christmas has been the best one yet. I was still in shock over the camera Harry had bought me. I know that he can afford it, but I don't deserve something that nice. The body of the camera was fifteen hundred dollars not counting the lens, which Harry was taking me to pick out whenever we got back to California.
Harry also told me that he was taking me shopping before we left. He wanted me to have clothes and other things at his house in London.
Speaking of shopping, Anne invited me to go shopping with her today. She told me she wanted to catch a couple after Christmas sells, plus it would be a great opportunity to get to know me. I thought it was really sweet how accepting this family has been. Ever since day one, they have treated me like they had known me for years.
Anne told me I was like a daughter to her already and that meant so much to me. It felt good knowing that I had her considering I hadn't spoken to my mother in months. I have been trying to reach out, but she won't respond.
I thought it was childish how she was acting. I don't think she will ever speak to me again all because I wanted to spend time with my boyfriend rather than lay at home in bed all day. How could she expect me, a 24 year old, to spend the rest of my life locked away in that bedroom? How could she be upset with me for growing up?
Despite everything, I missed my mom. I missed having her to talk to because now I don't have anyone. I can't really go to Anne whenever I need to rant about Harry. Maybe I could go to Gemma or Sarah, but I always worried they would tell him.
Maybe one day my mom will start to miss me and maybe she will even reach out. I just wanted to talk to her even if it was only for a minute.
"Where's your head at, sweet girl?" Harry whispered into my ear while he snaked his arms around my waist.
"I miss my mom." I admitted honestly, "I have tried to reach out to her but she won't answer. I just wish she would talk to me."
Harry left soft kisses along my neck and shoulder in order to comfort me, "I'm sorry, my sweet girl. I wish I knew what to say or do to make you feel better. I have never been through something like this and I'm sorry that I can't help you the way that you need. All I know to do is love you and I promise that's what I'm going to do."
His words made me melt into him, completely relying on him to keep me up straight. The kisses he was leaving on my shoulder wasn't really helping. I couldn't focus on anything other than how his lips felt against my skin.
I turned around to kiss him. Right now, it felt like time had stopped, like we are the only two people left on Earth. The butterflies were fluttering mindlessly in my belly.
Harry lifted me onto the kitchen counter with ease. He pushed his body in between my legs so we were close together. I could feel his body heat radiating off him.
"Is this okay?" Harry asked, all I could do was nod. I'm not sure I could even form a sentence at this point.
Harry moves his lips down my neck, pulling my skin between his teeth. Soft moans escaped my mouth, filling the air around us.
The desire I had for Harry was creating a pit in my stomach. I craved him with every ounce of me.
Harry grabbed the hem of my shirt, pulling it over my head. I watched his eyes look over my body with love. I wrapped my fingers inside his belt loops, pulling his bare chest against mine.
"Are you sure this is okay?" He looked to me for approval. I managed to push out a 'yes.'
His lips attached to my neck again before he slowly kissed down my stomach. I could feel my breathing start to pick while he made his way down my body.
He shifted his eyes up to me, once again, looking to me for approval, I nodded. Harry's fingers hooked around the thin straps of my panties, pulling them down my legs. He pressed his lips against the inside of my thigh as he made his way back to my core.
Harry was being a tease and it was killing me. He was leaving soft kisses along my hips, making me want him more.
Harry ran his tongue over my clit causing strangled moans to escape my throat. "Holy shit!" I moaned while I threw my head back in pleasure.
My body has never felt this way, I have never felt this good before. I could feel myself falling into the most euphoric state.
I pushed my hips forward again, begging for more. Harry slipped his fingers inside of me, causing the most ungodly sounds to escape my mouth.
My body started to seize up causing my eyes to clamp shut. I dug my nails into Harry's back, "God, I'm- I'm so close."
Harry pulled his lips away from my clit, causing me to whimper, "Cum for me, sweet girl." He moaned before he buried his face between my thighs again.
"G-God, Harry!" I moaned.
My entire body was shaking while his tongue rode me through this bliss.
I don't know if i'll be able to walk after this. I couldn't feel my lower half. All I knew was that my legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Harry slowly pulled his face away, looking to me with the most devilish smirk on his lips. He propped himself on the counter while his eyes ran over my body, "such a good girl, baby," he whispered into my ear.
"Let's go get you cleaned up." He whispered.
I just looked at him, knowing I wouldn't be able to walk to the bathroom. I was trapped in an utter state of euphoria. I couldn't speak, hell, I couldn't even think straight.
Harry wrapped my legs around his waist, walking us upstairs to the bathroom. He was being so gentle with me now, leaving the softest kisses along my collarbone.
I am hopelessly in love with this man.

Anne and I had stopped for a late lunch before we went home. I knew Anne had a sweet soul, but today it really shined through. I hadn't seen the smile fade from her face one time.
Anne brought me some of Harry's baby pictures to have. She informed me that Gemma spent hours looking for the perfect ones to give to me, which when I saw the pictures she had brought me, I wasn't surprised. The majority of these pictures would embarrass Harry. He was the cutest kid even in a speedo and goofy ears.
I'm framing that one as soon as we get back to California.
"How long have you and Harry been together?" She asked.
"A little over a year." I kept thinking back to make sure I had told her right. I felt like I had known Harry for most of my life.
"Can I be honest with you?" She asked. I'm not going to lie that immediately made me anxious, but I nodded.
I don't do good in situations like this. I'm always so anxious of what the other person was going to say. Was I about to get my heartbroken or was this about to be some of the best news? Would I be leaving London alone after this bit of information?
Anne took a lot longer than she should have to respond to me after I nodded.
The suspense is killing me.
"I have never seen Harry this happy."
Okay, so a mix of heartbroken and best news ever. I'll take it.
"I mean that whenever I say it. I have seen that baby go through so much heartbreak and pain. Love has never been easy to come across in his line of work, and the media has always been malicious." I thought back to all the headlines I have seen of Harry throughout the years, and it broke my heart. "For a while, I was really worried about him. He didn't seem like my Harry. I was fearful of the path he was taking then one day he was okay again. He was smiling and laughing. He seemed to have found a new meaning of life."
It was taking everything in me not to break down in tears right now.
"Audrey, I really want to thank you. You don't understand how much joy it brings into my heart to see my baby smiling again, so thank you. Thank you for saving him and being there for him the way you are. Harry and I have had a few heart to hearts about you, and my god he talks about you like you put the stars in the sky."
Harry has always struggled with feelings, so I have appreciated the few moments he's really allowed himself to be open. To sit here and listen to Anne tell me this gave me the validation and confirmation that I needed.
I felt a few tears race down my cheeks while she continued to thank me. I have never felt this much love before. I can't even describe how happy this makes my heart. It's crazy to think I found someone who rushes home to tell his mom about me and is so proud to call me his.
I wiped my face before I spoke, "I want to thank you for raising Harry the way you did. Thank you for teaching him how to love and respect a woman." She smiled at me before she dropped her eyes to look at her hands, "Harry has grown into such a beautiful soul and that's all because of you."
"I am thankful for you, Audrey." She admitted while she laid her hand over mine.
I spent the rest of the day thinking about everything Anne has said. I don't think she understands how much I needed to hear that or how much joy it brought into my heart.
This family has been my biggest blessing.
