Harper's dress

Kat's top

"Remind me again", I huffed, "Why exactly am I going to this?",

"Because you and Will are dating now", Liv pointed out, "And you have to go to his family dinners now",

"But what if I'm not ready to meet them yet?", I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.

"Babe, you're a strong and beautiful woman and they will LOVE you, so let me go on my date with Cody and you go to the dinner party and knock em' dead",

"Okay, have fun, Will's going to be here soon anyways",

I cut the call and assessed myself in the mirror.

I think I looked decent enough. But the real question was that did I look decent enough for a Green family dinner?

Suddenly the door burst open.

"Your hubby's here", Kat grumbled.

"Kat, is it really that hard for you to knock?", I sighed.

"No", she replied, "I just don't want to",

"What crawled up your ass and died?", I looked at her scowling face.

"Levi's here for our date", she put air quotes on date.

"Kat, you have to give him a chance", I said, "The boy really likes you",

"No he doesn't, he just wants to annoy me", she sneered.

"Yes he does, girls would kill for a guy to like them and care about them like Levi does for you", I took out a cute pink off shoulder top from my closet and threw it at her.

"Are you serious?", she asked.

"Yes, I see the way he looks at you, and wear the top with some pink lipgloss, have fun", I pinched her cheek before going downstairs.

I saw Will and Levi standing there by the door.

"Dude, I'm nervous", Levi ran his hands frustratedly through his hair, "What if she hates me?"

"Doesn't she already hate you?",

"Yeah, but she's going to hate hate me after this?", he huffed.

"Stop freaking out, you're almost as charming as me, you'll be fine",

"Well that's reassuring", I interrupted.

Will's gaze shifted to me and his lips curled up into a smile.

"Wow", he whispered.

Levi let out a whistle, "Damn Harper, I mean you're older than me but...Damn",

Will smacked him on the head, "Stop staring at my woman",

"Hey I'm already committed", he held up his hands in surrender.

Will wrapped his arms around me and spun me around, "You look amazing", he pecked me on the lips.

"I hope your family thinks so too", I mumbled.

"They'll love you", he assured me.

"Yeah, Will's other girlfriends shopped from the strippers section, so yeah they'll be happy to see a clothed woman", Levi added.

"Thanks, that's good to know, have fun on your date", I ruffled Levi's hair as Will and I stepped out of the house and into the car.

"Shouldn't you have given him some kind of reassurance? He's your little brother", I said to Will.

"Harp, there are two people I can say sweet and sentimental things too, that includes you and my mom, no one else", he explained as he opened the car door for me.

Once he slid into the passenger's seat, he saw the look I was giving him.

"What?", he asked.

"I'm one of the people you can say sweet things to?", I gushed.

"Yeah obviously", he gave me a duh look.

"I love you", I accidently mumbled.

"What did you say?",

"I said, I love your shoes, where'd you get them?", I managed to look casual, even though I was mentally bashing myself on the head with a mallet.

"Doubt they'd fit you", he replied, "You're pretty tiny",

I feigned an offended gasp.

"Am NOT!",

"Oh please, I could throw you over my shoulder like a backpack", he scoffed.

"That is in no way, related to my size", I corrected, "That's because you're freakishly strong that's all",

I fiddled with my bracelet as we drove out of my driveway.

I bit my nails furiously as thoughts swirled around in my head. Will they like me? What if they think my dress is slutty too? Is it? Should I go back home and change? Is my makeup alright? What if it gets smudged and I end up looking like pennywise? What if they hate me?

Will grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine, resting it on my thigh.

"You plan on biting your fingers off?", he chuckled.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous", I admitted.

"You don't have to be nervous, they'll like you", he reassured me, "Just stay out of my Aunt Tami and Silver's way",

"Why?", I asked.

"My mom's sister and her mom aren't the nicest people", he explained, "Mom moved out of there when she was 18 because she never liked them very much, apparently they were very toxic people from the beginning",

"Well that is the fucking cherry on top now isn't it?", I groaned.

"Harp, you'll be fine, you'll have me by your side", he kissed my intertwined fingers.

I gave him a small smile, but the knots in my stomach had tightened even more. I had a chilly feeling at the back of my mind, telling me that this wasn't going to go well. But I tried to be optimistic.

"Harper, come on", Will urged.

"Fine! Fine! Just give me a sec", I protested.

"I have been giving you a sec for the past 10 minutes", He cocked a brow at me.

"I'm nervous alright! I'm meeting extended family for the first time and I am afraid of public humiliation William, it is one of my biggest fears in life!", I rambled.

"Harp, you're not going to embarrass yourself",

"Oh you know that because you're psychic?", I sarcastically remarked.

"No, because I know you, now come on", he took me gently by the hand, pulling me with him.

I took out a compact mirror and checked my makeup.

"I forgot to put on blush, my face looks pale, let's go back", I insisted.

Will turned to me with an unreadable expression on his face.

"What? William? W-What are you d-doing?", I stuttered as he advanced towards me, with agonizingly slow steps.

I backed away against the warm hood of the car as he trapped me between his arms, staring intimidatingly into my eyes.

"W-William?", I asked shakily.

His hand went to my thigh, sliding up as he never once broke eye contact.

His other hand rested on my hip, pulling me so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips.

Okay, can someone explain why this boy never has bad breath? Like ever? I almost never see him chewing gum or breath mints!

I drew in sharp breath when I felt the warmth of his fingers on my exposed back. Trailing up and down, sending shivers down my spine. The hand on my hip groped my butt, making me tilt my head as another shiver shot up my spine.

He took the opportunity.

Resting one hand on my neck, he started placing slow and soft kisses, trailing up from my collarbone to my ear.

"How does that feel Harp?", he whispered huskily into my ear.

I was so engulfed in desire, I don't even know what I said. Must've been a very inaudible good that would've sounded like goo.

I hope he translated. I REALLY hope.

I rested my head on his shoulder, digging my fingers into his hair, pulling him closer as his fingers travelled to my dress strap, pulling it down and placing kisses on my shoulder, making me bite my lip to suppress a moan.

I let out a gasp as his mouth went to my cleavage, placing kisses in the same excruciatingly slow manner.

His lips moved up my neck, my chin and then finally to my lips as he gave me the most tender of kisses, as his mouth moved rhythmically with mine. His hand went to my hair, pulling me deeper into the kiss.

He tugged on my bottom lip with his teeth, making me let out a soft moan to which he smiled into the kiss.

Pulling back, he observed at me with the same boyish smile as I tried to remember how to breathe.

"You don't need blush now", he smiled playfully.

I gaped at him like a fish.

"I-I-I", I tried to form words, but my nerves were still settling.

He kissed my cheek and pulled me along with him.

"Come on", he grinned.

Oh he is so fucking proud of himself right now. I can practically feel it radiating off of him.

We rang the doorbell and waited as I tried to remember how to speak.

The door opened to reveal a smiling Callie who was clad in a peach dress with puffy sleeves and golden buttons.

"Oh Harper!", she hugged me tight, "I'm so happy you're here",

"It's great to be here", I laughed, trying to hide my nerves.

"Come in, everyone's waiting for you guys",

"Oh great, I'm late", I mumbled.

"Shut up Harp", Will nudged me

Callie scowled at Will.

"Will, I told you to be back in 10 minutes, you're late!", she exclaimed.

"Sorry mom, we had some problems along the way", he nudged me, "Tell her, Harp",

"Y-yea h-huh", I managed to say, handing her the bouquet of flowers mom had sent.

"These are for me? Oh they're beautiful", she admired the blossoms.

"Y-Yeah, my mom took them from our garden, she's been growing these for the past year", I explained.

Well Hallelujah, I speak!

"How lovely, I'll drop by someday to thank her for them and maybe get some gardening tips because my flowers always get trampled", she glared daggers at Will, "By two unseen forces",

"That's horrible", Will nodded understandingly, "Who would do such a thing to your flowers?",

"I wonder William, I wonder", she sneered, "Now come along, everyone's been waiting for you, wait Harper, you look so flustered, are you alright?", she touched her hand to my forehead and checked my temperature.

"She must've applied too much blush, right Harp?", he grinned cheekily.

Oh great. I'm the last to arrive. And now everyone's going to see my tomato-like face.

Before we entered the dining room, I spun around to face Will.

"You, Mister", I poked his chest, "Must stay 3 feet away from me the entire night, if you lay a hand on me tonight, I'll unleash my neighbor's guard dog on you, and trust me, he's vicious",

"I assure you babe", he winked at me, "I'm more vicious",

I felt my face heat up at the reply and I stormed away from him.

Why? Honestly, why? Why do my hormones go crazy all the time? (@whats_up2021 I feel like you'd relate to that someday)
