My alarm woke me up. I set it last night by the average time Violet gets up. I didn't want to look like a lazy ass to her father by oversleeping. Just to make sure she was awake, I decided to send her a text.
Me: Good morning gorgeous! How did you sleep? Love you xx
I lay back in bed, looking up into the ceiling. I sleep well but it felt weird to sleep without Violet by my side. I just hope this weekend ends soon and her father accepts me. Then I will be able to continue with what I have in mind.
The vibration of my phone pulled me from my thoughts and I reached for it.
Love <3: I missed sleeping next to you :( Let's meet at the kitchen for breakfast. I hope your night was good. Love you. Ps: Good morning!
Me: I missed you too :( I will meet you there soon xx
I jumped out of bed before I pulled my bag open and took a pair of jeans and a jumper out. I quickly got undressed before dressing myself on the clothing I choose. Having finished I ran a hand through my hair in order to style it before leaving to the kitchen.
When I arrived I saw the familiar figure giving me her back. She has preparing the breakfast while still on her pajamas, a messy bum on top of her hair. I smiled to myself before putting my arms around her. I hugged her from behind before I playfully kissed her cheek.
"Good morning my love." I say with a smile.
"Harry." She warned me.
"Good morning to you too kid." Her dad said.
I froze in place before looking towards the direction of the voice. There he stood, her father, sat by the table, reading a newspaper while drinking a coffee. Fuck we got busted yet again.
"Morning sir." I say mentally kicking myself.
Of course, I took my arms from around Violet as well as I putted some space between us.
"Don't call me sir. I hate it." He told me making me remember the conversation from las night.
"I'm sorry James." I say.
"And I also told you to stop apologizing." He refreshed my memory.
"Right." I say with a nod.
"Don't mind him." Violet says making her father chuckle. "Do you want some breakfast?"
"Don't worry I can do it myself." I say.
"It's not a problem because I already prepared breakfast for you." She tells me with a wink.
I smile and thank her as she finishes preparing the toast. I help her by pouring two coffees' for us before I settle everything on the table next to James. He doesn't even look at me too concentrated on his newspaper.
Finally, Violet and I sat down to have our breakfast in mostly silence which sucks because usually we are always talking or laughing about random stuff. I guess it's my fault because I am way too uncomfortable with her father.
"How are Brad and Leo?" I ask trying to start conversation.
"Still asleep. Those two will not get up till we leave for lunch I am telling you." Violet says.
"Those brothers of yours will have a good talk today." Her dad says.
"James, I know it is not my place to tell you how to educate your sons. But I need to speak on their behalf. They got drunk because Leo told me about Laura. Brad came just as he spoke and got pissed. I know that is a tough subject from him and it was just their way of dealing with that pain." I spoke.
"Right you shouldn't tell me how to handle my kids." James says making me sigh. "However, thanks for telling me that. Laura is a forbidden subject in this house. At least now I understand why they got that drunk."
"I am glad you understand." I say and he simply nodded.
We finished the rest of the breakfast in silence and as soon as we were done, I told Violet to go get dressed while I will do the dishes. After hearing her complains telling me she can do it, she agreed to let me do the dishes and left to her room.
I was lucky because her father also agreed to go get dressed so I was not left alone with him. Thank god I don't need any more awkward conversations with him.
When I was finished, I went to the living room and began answering emails on my phone.
"Work? I thought you were work free for the weekend!" Violet appears sitting down on the couch next to me.
"I always have something, you know me." I say before turning off my emails to look at her.
Violet smiled when I did that and I pulled her into my arms. Her head rested on my shoulder while my arms rested around her waist. She turned on the TV and left in some weird cartoons with a yellow sponge on it. She laughed every now and then making me remember she was like a kid on the inside.
The door bell sounded and James appeared to open it. He greeted whoever was on the door happily. We didn't have to wait a lot of time to see who it was. Mia ran into the room singing along to the song of the Sponge cartoons with a big smile on her face.
"Sponge Bob!" She shouted as she jumped onto the couch.
She cuddled in between us before sitting completely on my lap.
"Hello Mia! How are you?" I ask her as I brush a strap of her hair behind her ear.
"Good. You?" She asks.
"Very good." I answer with a smile.
She giggled before setting her eyes on the TV. A few minutes later Aaron and Brit came into the room seating down on the other couch. Aaron's eyes looked at me every few seconds; after all I was holding his sister and his daughter. I could feel his eyes stabbing me. You know the saying if looks could kill I will be already dead. Well by now Aaron will have kill me around 10 times just with his eyes.
I felt uncomfortable so I was very lucky when Mia said she was bored and jumped off of my lap. She went to her mom who took some toys out of her bag. She sat on the floor and began to play with her dolls making all the eyes focus on her.
"Hally you play wit me?" She asks after a while.
"Me?" I ask surprised making her nod. "I have never played with dolls so you will have to teach me."
She giggles and I sat down on the floor next to her. She hands me a dolls and begins to tell me as best as possible how to play. Basically she tells me the names of her Barbie's and their hobbies. Eating ice cream and watching cartoon are Barbie's favorite hobbies apparently.
We play for a long while and when I look up; I see that only Violet and Brit are on the room. They have a nice chat but they are mostly looking at me and Mia interacting.
"Where are your dad and Aaron?" I ask.
"They left a while ago. They are in the kitchen with Brad and Leo." Violet informs me.
"I am sure your father is calling those two out of their behavior last night." I say with a sigh.
"I don't think so." Brit says. "They have been in there for over an hour now. Of course, those two must have given Brad and Leo a good talk but I don't think they are talking about that anymore."
"Then what are they talking about?" I ask.
"You and your relationship with Violet. I think they are discussing if they approve of the relationship." Brit tells me.
So they must be discussing whether they accept me or not. My future is being debated on that kitchen.

A/N: god this took me long to write! I had so many troubles to write this boring chapter. I am sorry about that but I am so tired today. But I wanted to give you an update and I tried my best.
So the reason why this chapter has been so difficult to write is basically I haven't been home all day. As soon as I got up I went to the pool with my friends and I been there till around dinner time. Then my sister had friends over for dinner which made me head poud as they weren't letting me concetrate because I could hear them from my room. When they finally left for their night out I finally was able to write. However, I was so sleepy that this is the best I could write.
I have been reading your comments on the previous chapter (as I always do ;) ) and I saw that all of you said that you rather daily/regular not too long updates than weekly longer chapter. So I will continue to write the way I am atm. Being honest I am glad you did that because I really like the way I am working now and I feel really productive and I was scared a change will make my inspiration go away.
So yeah I rambled way too much as always and now I am going to sleep. Have a good night/morning/day!! (depending on the time zone)
PS: what do you think? Harry will be accepted on the family or not?
PSS: gif of Harry playing dolls...kinda haha
