After what felt like forever waiting, Riley's car finally pulls up beside me.

She rolls down the window to greet me.

"Excuse me young man do you know where I can find the nearest McDonald's? I've been driving around all night and I'm craving a chocolate milkshake." Shes asks, winking at me.

She's so cute.

A huge dork, but a cute one.

"I'm not sure but I think it's the next left and then left again, over the intersection and then a right." I say trying not to smile but failing miserably.

"Ok, thank you sir." She says starting the engine and driving off.

What?

Where the fuck is she going?

I stand up from the bench I've been sitting on for the over an hour as I see her car reversing backwards towards me.

"Get in rockstar." She pats the passenger seat next to her as I open the door and hop in. "Sorry it took me so long to get here, it's really in the middle of nowhere isn't it?"

"I'm sorry for making you come all the way out here, I should have called Niall instead."

"Niall would ask too many questions, you don't need to be interrogated." She leans back, reaching down to a bag near her feet. "I stopped off at McDonald's on the way, I figured you may be hungry and from the smell of you I guess I was right. I'm familiar with the munchies." She teases, handing me a bag.

She's right, I'm starving.

"I'm really sorry for-" I begin to apologise before she cuts me off.

"Don't worry about it." She picks up a drink from the cup holder and takes a sip from the straw. "Milkshake?" She enquires raising her eyebrows, tilting the straw in my direction.

"No thanks." I laugh.

As Riley drives us home she fills me in of what I missed at school today, which just as I expected, I missed nothing. She then goes on to talk about how she had to sneak out of the house again to come and get me, so I really hope I don't get her into trouble.

"You are going to be in for a wild ride when you get home huh? Your mom wasn't very happy when she came over to see if you were hiding at my house. Oh I met your dad by the way, he seems nice."

Fuck, listening to her talk all the way home made me forget about my parents.

"Yeah I'm a dead mean walking." I sigh. "You will probably never see me again."

"That's a shame, I kinda liked you." She tells me.

Yeah, I like you too.

A hell of a lot.

"I'm sure you like a bunch of people, like Niall." I say, not thinking before I speak as per usual.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, forget I said anything." I look out of the window trying to avoid the awkward conversation that I never should have started in the first place.

There's complete silence in the car for at least a minute.

"Niall is nice-" Riley begins to say.

Great.

Just great.

"But I don't like him in the same way I like you Harry." She puts her hand on my leg and I turn my head to look at her. "Not even close." She smiles at me before turning her attention back to the road.

Holy shit.

Consider myself reassured that she doesn't like Niall as more then a friend.

Thank fuck.

"Hey." I say getting her attention. "Stop the car for a second."

She looks at me confused. "Why what's wrong?" Shes asks, pulling the car over to the side of the road. "Are you o-" I cut her off pressing my lips to hers.

Finally making the first fucking move after all this time.

It might have been the liquid courage taking over but at least I did it.

"I like you too." I breath out resting my forehead on hers.

I look into her eyes for a few seconds before she opens her mouth to speak. "Cheeseball." Riley giggles before starting the car again.

I roll my eyes but slightly laugh too.

What a way to ruin the moment though.

...

We pull up into Riley's driveway and I sit there for a few minutes, not wanting to step one foot inside my house as I know I'm about to get my head chopped off.

"I'm sure you will be fine." Riley says placing her hand on top of mine. I bring her hand up-to my mouth and place a gentle kiss on the back of it. "If you need me I'm only next door."

"Thanks." I take a deep breath before opening the car door.

My front door opens as soon as I step foot on the Riley's driveway. My mom stands there with a furious look on her face. Her arms are folded across her chest, I think she is meant to look intimidating but I can't take her seriously in a pink fluffy robe and bunny slippers.

My dad is no where to be seen as usual so he is either waiting to murder me in the house or he is asleep.

"Good luck." Riley whispers as she brushes past me.

I just thought of the best idea I could possibly ever come up with to avoid getting into trouble right now. If it's just my mother I have to deal with then this is going to be easy. At least enough to buy me some time until the morning.

I grab Riley's wrist and pull her back to face me, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Harry what are y-"

Before she has a chance to finish I press my lips against hers, she hesitates for a second before kissing me back. My tongue swipes her bottom lip for entrance and she's quick to grant me the access I asked for. Twirling my tongue around with hers for a few seconds before pulling away.

Fuck that felt good.

"I see what you did there." She whispers to me before giving me a quick peck on lips. "Good thinking."

I am aware that I just made out in front of my mother but I know my mom well enough to know that this plan is going to work.

"Thanks for the lift, I'll see you at school tomorrow." I tell her, giving her a quick cuddle before letting her go.

She politely waves to my mother before she leaves to go home.

Okay I'm ready to rumble.

I take slow strides over to the porch of my house. I know I'm walking into a lions den right now but I'm hoping for her not to rip my head off just yet.

"Where the hell have you been?" She shouts but not loud enough for anyone to hear.

Just as I open my mouth to answer her she speaks again.

"Is Riley your girlfriend now? You just kissed her, I knew you were more then just friends."

Knew it would fucking work.

I am a genius.

I walk past her into the house and she follows right behind me.

"I really like her Harry, she's good for you. She's absolutely beautiful." She carries on and I try not to smile.

I take a look around the house and I can't see my dad anywhere.

Yes!!

Dealing with mom is a million times easier then dealing with my father. Especially after she saw me kiss Riley. My mom has never seen me with a girl, ever.

She must be over the fucking moon right now.

I usually don't want to talk about this type of stuff with her but at this precise moment I will take this talk any day over the amount of shit I'm going to get tomorrow.
