Dedicated to @|SassyRbws because she's such a sweetheart. Luv ya sis

. . .

I jumped out of the house into his arms. He lifts me off the ground and twirled me around, then placed me in front of the door again.

"Mom didn't told me you are gonna be here today" I squealed once I had pressed a kiss to his cheek. 

"She didn't told me you were going to be here neither, so I guess we're even" He shrugged.

"Surprise!" We turn around to face mom and dad out on the porch too. I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at them before laughing off.

"Well if it wasn't for my other fruity" Dad said as he hugged Olive. "Now our fruit family is completed"

Olive Devin. My little brother. Well from little only means he's two years younger than me. Olive is freshly out of college and is doing a course on English literature. From the very young of age Olive wanted to teach people, to help them. And I'm so incredibly proud of my brother.

"Oh by the way, I forgot to tell you guys, you're going over to Anne's for dinner" Mom exclaimed while we were back inside, sipping another round of tea. And surely enough, I chocked on it. The tea was sprinkled out of my mouth and i started to cough. My eyes teared up and I felt a burn in my head. Olive softly patted my back until I got out from the stage.

Olive is the only one who knows about me and Harry. So he was well aware that I didn't wanted to meet him at the moment. 

"W-what did you say?" I chocked out.

"Your dad and I have to attend a party outside the town sweetie. When I told Anne about that, she invited you two to have dinner with them. Oh how sweet of her" She cooed. "So Cherry I recommend you go there while Olive get ready so you'll be able to help Anne to get the dinner ready yeah?" But before I could even object she waved me off saying a 'perfect'

I looked over at Olive, expecting some help but he was already leaving to get his beauty bath.

...

My heart beat was at the peak as I stood in front of their door. I stared at it and had been for last ten minutes. The lights of the house was on and I could hear quiet laughs from the inside. I stood there, with some kind of pie in my hands, deciding weather to knock or turn right away and stride over to my place.

But before I could even do anything, the door burst open and my hand stopped in the air, making a weird gesture. Anne's face lit up as she saw me, she was quick to pull me into her embrace, letting the pie squash between us awkwardly. 

"Cherry" She said. Keeping her hands on my shoulders. "So nice to meet you again honey"

I playfully rolled my eyes at her. "You met me four days ago Anne" She hit my arm softly. Without another word she pulled me inside and closed the door. My heart started to pound in my chest. I think Anne felt my uneasiness because she stopped and turned to me again. 

"Cherry?" She furrowed her eyebrows and tried to look at me but I let my gaze fall to the floor. She softly put her hand on my cheek, letting my eyes met hers. She gave ma a tiny smile and a nod. "It'll be alright sweetie. he'll be surprised, and nothing more"

She turned around and led me to the living room where I can hear laughter coming from. My eyes were widen from what Anne had said. What does she means from that? Did this- no way! Does this mean she knows? He hadn't been telling her, can he?

But before any thought stuck up in my mind, we were already in front of the living room. One more step, and I'll be in. As Anne pulled me inside, my eyes return to the floor. But I made up my mid and slowly let them look up. Robin was sitting by the fireplace with Gemma snuggled up next to him. Niall, I believe was strumming a guitar on a bean bag. Zayn and Liam, they were  laughing at something Robin had said. And Louis was laughing at something Gemma had said, along with,

Harry.

"Guys" Anne tried to take their attention. "I present you Cherry!" This time louder. Every face turned to look at us. I ignored his green eyes and focused on Gemma's who was twinkling.

"Cherry!" She stood up and stride over to me. Wrapping me up in a her embrace. "Finally you're here!"

Robin came up next. "Hello little Devin" I giggled. Then I mentally cursed myself for giggling in front of him. The other lads stood up too. I easily ignored his eyes before awkwardly waving at them.

"Hi Cherry!" Niall was the first to greet. He came in and gave me a hug which was unexpected but I hugged him back anyways. Liam and Zayn quickly followed the suit. Louis was next, he opened his arms.

"Well if it wasn't for the famous CEO of famous STYLES designers" I felt my cheeks heat up as he mentioned my company. He just laughed it off and came in for a hug as well. "Have heard a lot about you"

"Not just by company Cherry" He whispered into my ear before pulling away and returning. My eyebrows furrowed as his words echoed in my head. What does he mean from that?

My thoughts were cut off from someone clearing their throat. I stupidly let my head whip to the the noise. My eyes immediately landing on his jade green ones. Even I had gotten over them ages ago, they still managed to left me breathless. 

"Uh..nice to meet you" He awkwardly mumbled. I thought he was going to hug me but no, he didn't. I caught everyone except Anne and Louis looks at us with confused expressions. And that made it clear that Anne and Louis, in fact, knows something about us.

"You too..."
