"What?" I chuckle, even though I already know what she's about to say.
"Oh I just love it when you're home, you and your sister." She squeezes my side.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same, how nice it is to be back here."
"Sometimes I wish you'd move here, live here instead of London." Mum sighs sadly.
"Mum it's not.."
"It's not that simple, I know Harry."
I sit up and look at her with a sympathetic smile; I do feel awful that I don't spend enough time with mum and Robin, unfortunately, there's not much I can do right now.
"You know you can stay with me whenever you want, you and Robin." I try to reassure her.
"Easier said than done Harry, Robin works and it's not just your house anymore."
I shake my head, mums putting up a bit of resistance here. "Oh don't play that card, you know Flo adores you and would never say no."
Mum stands up, fixes her jumper and smirks. "True, come through when she comes down and we can eat dinner."
Flo POV:
I'm drying my hair off with a towel when my phone starts to vibrate on the bed, I see it's a facetime request from Lou's phone which means it must be Lux.
I press the green button- the call connects, the screens lit up with Lux's eyes as she squashes her face up the camera.
"Lux, Lux come on move away." I hear Lou's thick Yorkshire accent.
Finally, she moves back and sees me, she's sat on Lou's lap eating her tea. "Hello sweetheart."
"Aunt Flo! Aunt Flo!"
"How was school today?" She jumps off Lou's lap and returns with a painted picture.
"I painted this for you, it's us in the garden and Uncle Harry under the arch."
Me and Lux are on one end of the paper and Harry on the other, she's used different coloured paints for the fairy lights and she's got all the outfit colours right. "We'll put that up in the kitchen next weekend princess."
"Where's Uncle Harry?"
"He's downstairs Lux, hang on, come on tell me about your day!" I rush down the stairs to see Harry on the couch watching the TV. "One-second darling..."
Harry pats the space next to him as I hand him my phone, he leans it on the coffee table so Lux can see both of us. "Here I am, here I am!"
"She's showing you her painting of us." I murmur into his ear.
The screen is covered in bright block colours whilst Lux puts the picture in front of the camera, I can't help but giggle. "Wow, bubba that's really good!"
Lou tells Lux to go and put her picture upstairs so she can chat to the both of us. "So you two, I'm hosting a dinner party next week and you are invited."
"A dinner party Louise?" Harry mocks in a fake posh voice.
"Indeed, a very casual dinner party, basically a get together. Both of you, Adam and Emi, Tom and Sam, Nick, Harry." She lists.
I nod, that sounds cool especially if it's casual. It'll be nice to finally get to talk to everybody and get to know them a bit better. "We'll be there."
"Wonderful.." Lou huffs as Lux appears back on her knee "..bloody hell Lux."
"Aunt Flo!"
"Yes?"
Lux pushes her face to the camera again. "Will you take me swimming on Wednesday?"
"You two dinners ready!" Anne calls from the kitchen.
"We will.." Harry replies "..we're going to have to go Lux, be a good girl this weekend okay?"
Lou cuts in. "Flo is it alright if she goes to Emi's on Saturday and you pick her up?"
"Course, I'll look forward to meeting Adam and Silver." I blow Lux a kiss. "See you soon, we love you."
Harry's arm goes around my waist, I turn my head and see Anne poke her head around the door. "Bye love."
:
"..and she was stood there speechless, at first I thought I was going to get turned down." Harry laughs as he finishes telling the story once again, for Gemma this time.
"Hey!" I nudge him playfully. "One, you know I'd never have said no and two, it was unexpected."
"Well, either way, I'm over the moon for the both of you." Robin grins.
"Me too." Anne nods in agreement. "By the way kids.."
Harry and Gemma look to their mum in unison.
"...me and Robin are going to a party tomorrow night, you're more than welcome to come."
Gemma pulls a jokey face at Harry and laughs. "Out on the town eh! Who's party?"
"One of my friends 60th birthday party." Robin adds. "A party with the oldies, always fun."
Harry, Gemma and me all look to each other and give a little nod.
"You're coming? Great, that'll be nice for us all and I'm sure all the old ladies will want to dance with you, Harry." Robin jokes.
"What can I say, they always do." Harry says sounding smug.
After dinner Harry and I decide to go to bed, the journey may have been smooth but it's exhausted both of us. We say goodnight to the others and head up the stairs.
"This bed is so squishy." I smile sinking into the mattress. "Almost as comfy as our bed."
"Nothing will ever be as heavenly as our bed, it was the best purchase."
"I'm sure the hotel bed you stay in next weekend will be even better." I tease.
Harry breathes deeply. "Can I not just come home and be with you."
"No, I've told you, you should go out and let loose and spend time with Gemma." I encourage. "Plus think of all the time and money that's got into this, it is a party hosted by you as well so it'd be awkward for you not to turn up."
"I'm going to worry about you, being alone." He gets into bed and holds me tight. "I'm just.."
"...very protective of me, I know and I appreciate it." I cup his face and kiss his lips. "I won't be alone, I'll have Lux and it's only one night."
Harry sighs and nuzzles his head into me. "You're right, you're right."
"Of course I am, I'm always right." I joke.
"I love you." Harry yawns, I can feel his hot breath on my neck. "Get some sleep, we're going on a tour of the town tomorrow."
I lean over and switch off the bedside lamp. "Love you too."
