Chapter 86 : "Profess"

Profess

T A T E

It was already time to leave Cardiff as soon as the band's two-day stay here was over. I enjoyed the place, the foods and gosh the view was amazing. The people were very friendly inside hotel too. My things were all packed and we were all ready to leave for London. Yes, London. Harry had planned to stop over London really quick because his mother texted him that she wanted to finally meet me.

Am I ready to meet her and the rest of Harry's family? Fuck no. I wasn't ready because this wasn't part of the plan on how he wanted things while we were on tour. Since they have four days off before they head to Austria for the next leg of their tour, Harry  it was bestowed introduce me to his family. Holy shit, I swear to god that I am so so so so not ready to face them. I am also VERY fucking nervous about facing them, who wouldn't right? They're Harry's family. That means I need to act calm and be calm.

Shit, how am I gonna even do that?

I settled myself inside the plane while my thoughts bother me about meeting his family. I looked right outside the window and worried about so many things that could happen when I'll be meeting his family. I'm worried that they might not like me. I'm worried that they might think I'm after Harry's wealth. I'm worried that they might want me to end things with their son because I'm not as rich as them. Argh fuck, I'm worried as hell because Gemma hates me.

"Hey.." Harry coos. "You okay?" He gently squeezes my hand.

I smile weakly. "I'm fine but I'm just nervous."

"Why?"

"Because I'm about to meet your family, Harry." I nervously answered him. "I don't know how to please them and make them like me."

"They're nice people. They will love you, I swear. And mum was the one who really wanted to meet you when I told her I already have a new girlfriend." He tells me.

"But I don't know if they will even like me. Im not as rich as you and I don't clearly belong to the A-List. I'm on the Z-List." I still had to joke about so I could at least make myself laugh out the nervousness.

He chuckles. "I didn't know you had that in you. Z-List." He snorted. "Good one sweetie. No wonder we're perfect for each other. We make the corniest jokes only us could understand."

I groan softly. "Harry I'm being serious here. You're not helping."

He chuckles again. "I'm just making you smile, okay? Relax."

I exhale nervously. "I can't even think straight anymore just by thinking of meeting them, what more if they're already sitting right in front of me."

Harry kisses the back of my hand. "My parents aren't really the hardest people on earth. They won't judge you by your social status or how much money you make or how money you have in your bank account. We're not like that Tate. They're not like that. Trust me, they will like you." He rubs my shoulder with his warm palm. 

"Well the last time I remembered, Gemma hated me because she thought I'm after your money." I say softly and it still pains me that his sister doesn't like me for her own brother.

"She doesn't hate you Tate. She's just always like that when she sees me with a new girl. She always think that women who are around me are only after my fame and my wealth. She was also traumatized by what happened to me and Anastasia. That's why she's having a hard time trusting every woman I'm with." He answers.

"Gemma's just being a concerned big sister." He adds.

I cross my arms together. "Exactly how many woman have you really been with Harry?" I arch an eyebrow at him and he looked guilty while he scratches the back of his neck.

"You couldn't count with your two hands anymore? That many?" I ask.

Harry chuckles dryly.

"God, I hope you don't have herpes. It's the least thing I'd wish to have." I shake my head.

"Hey, just so you know I'm clean. I always, and I emphasize on ALWAYS because I always use rubbers with women I just met." He answers.

I gaped. "Ha! There you go! Just went out from your lips. Unbelievable." I gestured my hand to him.

"Only two. Two women that I took seriously." He pulled two fingers up.

"Oh really?" I scoff.

"Yes, really. I've only been serious with two women. Anastasia and you, sweetheart. I'm that serious with dating." He smiles while showing off his teeth.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "And those who you didn't take seriously? Lost count probably, huh?"

Harry cups my cheeks. "You are beautiful."

"Not helping." I answer him sarcastically.

"I swear on my grandma's grave, I only had two serious relationships. And all those others are just extras. Not counted." He answers.

I snort. "Extras. I started as one."

He sighs. "Why do you make it hard for me?"

I look away from him.

"We were first talking about you being nervous about meeting my family and now we're ending the conversation of how many women I had. God Tate we're even talking about it inside the plane." He continued to say.

I look back at him. "I try to understand that you have tons of women."

"There are tons that are after me but I'm only attracted to you." He smiles.

I bite my inner cheek so I won't be smiling but his smug face and evil grin makes me want to stop myself from hiding my smile.

"I know you wanna smile." He tries to tickle me but I tried to pull myself away.

He sighs and gives up. "Tate baby please?"

"How many women do you even call baby?" I ask him, and I'm just being playful with him but I can't help not to ask.

He groans again and pushes his hair off from his face. "Tate are you really being serious right now?" He looks at me worriedly.

I purse my lips together.

"Okay. I have a knock knock joke that you will totally love." He smiles and he's even more excited to tell me about it.

I cross my arms together. "If you don't make me smile, you will run around the plane completely naked. Full frontal and back."

"Easy." He smirks. "Deal. But if I make you smile you will profess your great love to me here." He grins.

I pulled my head up and looked around the entire plane who were with us. There was Louis, Liam and Niall, the other crew for the security, the other members of the band and some of Louis' friends. I look back at Harry and he kept smiling at me and I know he's damn serious.

"In front of them." He adds.

"You've got to be kidding?" I ask him.

"A deal is a deal." He says to me. "But no lip biting nor pressing of lips together or pursing."

I crossed my arms again and tried to accept his deal. "Okay. Deal. Let's hear your ever corny knock knock jokes." I smirk.

He shifts to his side so he could take a good look at me. Harry kept that smug look on his face and he looked like he was gonna win this thing but I won't let him. Though it's easy to profess my love for him but I couldn't do it with them around. It's too embarrassing even if I know for myself that I really do love him.

"Knock knock." He smiles with his teeth showing. Oh he's too sure that he's going to win this little bet.

"Who's there?" I arched an eyebrow.

"Owl."

My eyes narrows as I look at him.

"Owl who?" I answer.

"I'm owl yours." He rested his chin on my shoulder while he smiles adorably.

I felt myself stopping from laugh when my stomach tightens and the next second was my lips about to purse together. He kept grinning at me but I felt my lips moving to the sides as I try to hide my smile from my face. I as trying so hard to bite my inner cheek so I won't laugh but Harry's smug face knows that he's winning. Oh god, who am I kidding? He already won.

"You do know if you hold a laugh it'll cause you to fart?" He grins.

I felt my chest moving up and down and I was obviously holding myself to laugh. "Oh God I hate you.." I covered my eyes with my hands while bursting myself in laughter as I kept glaring at him.

Harry threw his fist up in the air and laughed. "I won! I made you smile. Not only smile, but laugh too."

I pulled my head up to him and smiled, "Oh you're soooo happy of what you accomplished."

"I am. Yes I am. It was by far the greatest and sweetest knock knock joke that I've ever made up." He winks.

I kept giggling inwardly and covered my smile with the back of my hand. Harry holds it and pulls it away from my face while he says, "A deal is a deal Tate." He smirks.

"Does it really have to be in front of this whole crew?" I shied.

"Yes." He snapped and stood from his chair.

"Oh my god. Harry, no." I tried to pull him back down on his seat.

"Yoh guys listen up!" Harry calls out.

"Fuck." I cursed as I covered my eyes with my hands. I literally feel my cheeks reddening now. "Harry, oh my god. This is gonna be so embarrassing."

Harry glares at me. "Tate and I had a bet." He grins as he continued to say, "And she kind of lost."

The boys began to cheer up when Harry begins to pull me up from my chair. The entire plane was so loud with wooting, whooping, laughing and of course teasing. Liam, Louis and Niall were even laughing and cheering for me. I feel my face even warmer than a while ago. I swear I think my face had turned into a tomato.

"That's why she has an important thing to say to everyone that is inside this plane." Harry was standing behind me while he held onto my shoulders.

"Oh my god.." I giggled nervously.

Harry kissed the top of my left shoulder, "I do wish everyone to listen very well. Put up your phones out if you have to. It's so important. I swear." He laughs teasingly.

"Let's go Tate!" Louis yells from the back of the plane with his phone out and recording me.

I take a deep breath in and just laughed my nervousness away. "Okay so I lost the bet but Harry was being such a cheater." I side glanced at hm as I he stands next to me smirking.

"I didn't cheat. To clarify that out." Harry smiles, setting everyone laughing.

I briefly covered my eyes and looked back at everyone, "As what Harry just said out loud, it's something very important to say. It's important because everyone inside this plane have witnessed it the past days and months."

I smile at Harry and I'm just locking my eyes at him. "I was to profess my love for him in front of you guys, that's our deal and since I lost, here I am about to scream to the entire world how much I love him."

Everyone from inside the plane started teasing again and they were so game for this. I can't believe they even want to be part of this cheesy moment of my relationship with Harry.

I take a deep breath in and kept smiling, "Harry Styles I am pathetically and incontestably in love with you."

The entire plane went even louder and louder, cheering us to kiss and make out. Okay they went overboard with the teasing but I just threw myself at Harry as he accepts me with arms wide open then wraps it around me so tight. I felt him kissing my cheek as I felt my body pressed against his.

"I love you Tate. So much." He whispers to my ear.

We pulled ourselves slightly away from each other and he cups my face before he leans closer to kiss my lips.

"I am so in love with you and I don't know how to explain it." He adds.

I kept smiling at him and just hugged him tight.

When we landed to London it was just four in the afternoon, Romano quickly drove me to the hotel while the lads were drove to the management. I told Harry to just take things easy with his bosses and he just nodded. I was to meet his parents by seven in the evening tonight and I was already nervous as hell.

Suddenly, someone rang my doorbell and I quickly rushed to it. I was sure it was Harry since its been an hour since he went out. I hope everything went well with them and the management.

I swing the door open, "How did your meeting with..." I trailed off when I see a woman standing right in front of me. She was wearing a charcoaled suit, a pair of black heels with pointed fronts with a bright red lipstick.

"Hi? Can I help you?" I ask her.

"You must be Miss Tate Kavanaugh." She tells me and I was surprised that she knew my name.

"H-how did you know my name? And... And how can I help you?"

She smiled tight-lipped. "I'm Mrs. Summers. I work for the Modest! Management."
