Chapter 100 : "Spain"

T A T E

When we landed Spain, a lot of people took photos of us the second we arrived at the airport. We hurriedly got inside Harry's car and quickly drove to my home. Harry has been silent since we landed and he hasn't talked much too. He was looking straight ahead to the road while the GPS was teaching him where to go.

"Hey..." I placed my hand over his hand that was holding the clutch.

He travels his head to me. "Yeah?"

"You're awfully quiet. What's up?" I ask.

Harry exhales. "I'm just so nervous to be meeting your father and your two brothers. Like seriously how huge are they?"

"Hulk-like." I answer.

He gapes at what I said and I could see now how nervous he really was to meet my family. I didn't even know that he was anxious this whole time. He tries to keep his cool after what I said but I really had no idea that the reason why he's been quiet all this time since we got here was that because he's nervous to meet them.

I laugh softly.

"It'll be okay." I say to him.

"Hulk-like is so not okay Tate." I smiled at his remark. "Why didn't you give me a quick briefing about your brothers being that insanely huge?" He asks.

Harry leans closer to me and his nervous face just makes me giggle inwardly. "Do you even know how huge Hulk is?"

I chuckle. "They're nice Harry. Don't worry. I'm sure they will love you. They're huge but they also happen to have a huge heart."

But on the serious part, my two brothers are really huge. They're really super tall since my father is tall as well, they inherited dad's height and because they work out a lot, they're kind of buff too. And most of the times they worry about me being in a relationship because I'm the only girl in the family and well I'm a woman.

"If your brothers are gonna kick my ass, save me. Please." He nervously says.

I laughs softly as I lean close to him to kiss his cheek. "They will not hurt you. I promise."

By the time we arrived home, Harry was already sweating like a pig. I've never seen him sweat this much in just a few minutes-span. He was constantly wiping his forehead with his handkerchief and I've never ever seen him bring handkerchief with him, just now. He must really have prepared for this.

My Boy Scout is so adorable right now.

The door swings open after we rang the doorbell twice. "Tate?" It was Julio who got it, my eldest brother who works as a barista in some coffee shop by the morning and a bartender at night.

"¿Qué estás haciendo aquí? Todavía me debes por eso billete de avión que compró que se dirigía a New York." Julio stared at the sweaty and nervous Harry. (Translation: What are you doing here? You still owe me for that plane ticket you bought that was heading to New York.)

I smile at him because I still do owe him that.

"Oye. ¿Es así como me tratas delante de mi visitante?" I ask him back. (Translation: Is that how you treat me in front of my visitor?)

Julio glares at me and ignored what I said. Instead he asks me another question, "¿Y quién diablos es esto?" He crosses his arms against his chest. (Translation: And who the hell is this?)

He gapes. "Espere. Yo lo conozco. Él es ese tipo de esa famosa banda." (Translation: Wait. I know him. He's that guy from that famous band.)

I sigh. "Julio I le dirá todo el interior. ¿Por favor?" (Translation: Julio I will tell you everything inside. Please?)

He widens the door for us while he looks at Harry eagerly.

I smiled at Harry. "Let's go in."

"Did he say he didn't like me?" Harry whisperingly asks.

I softly laughed and whispered back. "No. But just a head's up for you he can speak and understand english."

"Oh. Right. I'll keep that in mind." Harry pressed his lips together as we walk inside hand in hand.

Julio glares at Harry as soon as he shut the door behind us. I know he's getting really overprotective again over me because he thinks Harry is my boyfriend and his guesses are right.

"Harry, I want you to meet my eldest brother Julio Cesar." I begin to introduce my brother to Harry but I could tell that Harry's really nervous right now and it shows to his smile.

But Julio didn't even reach out his hand to him which even makes things worse right now.

"Um, right. Julio this is Harry Styles. My boyfriend." I say as I held back on Harry's hand.

Harry extends his hand to my brother to probably shake hands. "It's really nice to finally meet you." He tells Julio.

Julio quietly accepted Harry's then pulled it back right away as he looks at me quickly.

"Whoa wait. Hold it. Boyfriend? Did you just say boyfriend?" Julio asks worriedly.

I nod. "Yeah. He's my boyfriend."

"Does dad even know about this?" He asks.

I nod again. "Yes."

"I was expecting them, Julio." Dad suddenly appears from behind my brother as he walks closer to join us.

Dad's eyes stares at Harry for a while and I quickly threw myself to dad as he accepted me with arms wide open. "I missed you dad." I say.

I felt him kissing my hair before he releases me and says. "So you've finally made it here."

I nod and shove my hand to Harry's. "Harry this is my dad, Caesar Kavanaugh. Dad meet my boyfriend Harry Styles."

"It's a pleasure to meet you young man." Dad politely extended his hand to Harry.

Harry accepts right away. "It's an honor, sir."

All of a sudden someone dramatically coughed from behind dad and popped his huge head to join us. "Did someone say the b-word?"

I sigh.

"Yeah. She did." Julio answers.

"Oh so he's here too. Great. I thought he still has work." I commented.

I don't have any hate on my second brother, but if Julio is strict, he's ten times stricter.

"Doesn't my little sister even wanna see me? I am hurt." He playfully remarks.

"Harry this is my second eldest brother Luisito Andres. Luis for short. Luis meet Harry styles my boyfriend." I gestured to each of them.

Luis was quick enough to offer a hand and Harry accepted of course with a smile on his face. There's a huge difference between my two brothers, Julio and Luis. Julio is the more serious type and also strict. He's the coldest one among the three of us but also the sweetest and most thoughtful brother, not that Luis isn't. As for Luis, he's the coolest and very laid back brother that I've ever had but he's also very annoying and also very strict. He's even stricter than Julio and I really hate making him mad because he's not the happy-go-lucky Luis when he goes mad and transforms into a demon from the underworld. Okay that was a bit harsh. He's the perfect epitome of hulk in real life.

I glared at dad before Luis and Julio would do anything to embarrass Harry. Dad suddenly says, "Let's all have dinner? The table is all set. Good thing Luis cooked for us."

Yes, Luis' the great cook in the family.

Luis snaps. "That's why you forced me to take the day off to cook for them."

"Well thank you then Luis." I say with a smile.

"Great. Everyone hungry?" Dad asks.

"Yeah." I snapped. "That would be perfect right now. Food. I'm starving. Harry's starving as well." I smiled.

I shove my hand to Harry's and said, "Let's go."

All of us walked to the table and Harry was kind enough to pull a chair for me so I could sit. I sat next to Harry quite he takes the chair on my dad's left. As for my two knucklehead brothers, they decided to sit right across him.

"Luis made all this?" I ask.

Luis smiles smugly. "You know I'm better than you in cooking."

I smiled at him fakely and faced Harry who was just staring blankly at my lap. "You should try what Luis cooked sweetheart. He really is the greatest cook in the family." I say to him.

Harry pulled his head up to me and smiled.

When we began to eat, Harry and dad were the only ones talking casually while Julio and Luis were intently looking at Harry. Dad asked him about how things go in showbiz and Harry was politely answering back my father. Dad also mentioned some celebrities' names and asked if he had met them. They were casually talking to each other as if they've known each other for years. Harry does get along with anyone, most especially my dad. And I was so happy that my dad was accommodating him with all respect and not letting Harry fear him.

"So Harry.." Julio starts to speak.

I take a deep breath and felt Harry's eyes glaring at me before he stares back at my brother.

"I've read some news about you online. My friends' sisters talks a lot about you." He adds.

"Oh yeah.." Luis butts in while agreeing. "Me too. My friends' siblings. I also heard you were linked to so many women. Even dated the ones who were way older for you." He continued.

I exhale.

"You're quite the popular one whenever it comes to women." Julio adds.

"Guys. Quit it." I snapped at them.

"We can't just quit it Tate. You're our little sister and we need to make sure you won't be just one on his list." Luis answers me.

"It's okay Tate." Harry smiles at me as he turns his head to my brothers. He begins to tell the two of them, "Well the media kind of wants the public to see me as like that because they want to label each of the boys with nicknames and that nickname happens to be attached to my name since we got famous."

I glare at my dad and he was listening to Harry intently even my brothers too.

"I must admit that some of those women that were linked to me was true. I've dated them but not really in a serious commitment like what I have with your sister. I was always busy with recording, being on tour and going to places from here to there and I was more focused on my career. I also admit that I've never wanted to be in a commitment because of my past. I never trusted anyone on telling about it but Tate knows all about that. I was afraid to fall in love' yes. But Tate made me realize again that falling in love was the nicest and most beautiful feeling in the world." Harry says as he glares at me.

He takes my hand that was on top of the table and looked straight into my eyes seriously.

"I am really nervous right now sitting in front of the top three most important men in Tate's life. My stomach is churning not that the foods aren't great because it is. My throat feels really dry. I feel like my heart is pounding. Like it has never pumped this fast in my entire life before. Just now. I've never felt this nervous before..."

He turns his attention to my dad, Julio and Luis then adds, "But I need to conquer this fear and face the three of you because I love her. I love your daughter and your little sister. I love the only girl in your family. I love Tate."

I smile sheepishly and blushed with the words that he said to my family. I felt my tears building in my eyes as I stare at our hands entwined together and felt my heart happier than it had ever been before.

Harry turns his head to me, "I don't know if there are words in the dictionary to describe what I feel for Tate. But she knows that I'm crazy about her." He chuckles softly as I smile.

"I've given up my bad ways for her. I've never taken anyone seriously the past years but she makes me wanna be serious with her the moment I met her. Tate makes me want to become a better man." He adds.

Luis coughs dramatically making us turn our attention to him. "But you're a famous man Harry. You said so yourself that you're always busy with your work. We don't want our sister to get hurt and you're not around."

Julio nods. "And your fanbase are mostly composed of women. Women gets jealous easily even if they don't own the man. They might be hating on her because she's your girlfriend. What if they will cyber bully her? What if they will hurt her when they will get the chance?"

"Julio que ya es demasiasdo." I snapped. (Translation: Julio that is already too much.)

"Somos sus hermanos Tate. Tenemos el derecho de investigarlo." Luis snapped back at me. (Translation: We are you brothers Tate. We have the right to investigate him.)

I sigh. "Pero no como este. Ambos están recibiendo demasiado personal sobre él." (Translation: But not like this. You are both getting too personal on him.)

"Necesito que te calles Tate." Julio answers. (Translation: I need you to shut up Tate.)

I stare back at Harry and he was calmly looking back at me before facing back my brother.

"I know that I'm a busy man. I know that a lot of people know me because of my job and I am aware that a lot of fans may have known her and will possibly invade her privacy but I will promise you that I won't let them hurt her nor invade her personal life. That's the least thing I would want to happen." He answers.

"Pero estar con usted ya está haciendo su riesgo su privacidad." Dad mumbles. (Translation: But being with you is already making her risk her privacy.)

I sigh. "Papá por favor." (Translation: Dad please.)

The three of them looked back at me.

"Estoy muy enamorada de él y yo quiero que le dan la bienvenida." I added. (Translation: I am really in love with him and I want you to welcome him.)

I love back at Harry and he was also looking back at me eagerly. "Me encanta Harry." (Translation: I really love Harry.)

Harry's brows creasing and asked, "Kanta in Philippines is sing. Do you want me to sing?"

I chuckle. "No. I am just telling them how much I love you back too."

I look back at my dad, Julio and Luis.

I say to them, "Y si no lo acepta, que todavía quede con él incluso si va a odiarlo." (Translation: And if you do not accept him, I will still stay with him even if you will hate it.)
