JUST GOT LUCKY novel Chapter 90

CHAPTER 89

END OF THE DAY

LINDY’S POV

The next morning, I headed to my parents’ house with Harry because he insisted of wanting to talk to my parents formally to ask their permission to date me again. I told him it was unnecessary but since he insisted, I agreed to it anywyas. I texted my mom and told her that we will be having dinner at home and how excited she was when she knew Harry was going to join us.

For the rest of the morning, Harry and I went around Canada as I did him a little tour around the city since we never really got the chance to do it before. I showed him around to some of the popular tourist spots in here while the paps were tailing us the entire day. We were stopped by a few fans who wanted to ask his picture and he was kind enough to agree.

The whole day I spent with Harry was fun even though there were a lot of people in the places we went to who were taking photos of him without his consent. He told me that I should not be bothered about it because he is used to it but then I think it is still pretty unrightful. I think it is pretty unneccessary that they should take photos without his permission.

I spent the entire morning and afternoon touring with Harry as I was showing him around the city I grew up in. He loved every bit of it and took so much photos on his phone, the one that he accidentally swapped with mine.

Fast forward that night, we finally reached my parents’ house and I know Harry was nervous as soon as he parked his car outside. We held each other’s hand as we walked towards the door. He reaches out for the doorbell but I stopped him.

“Wait.” I hollered.

He turns to me, “What?”

“Just be yourself.” I tell him.

He smiles, “I am jsut worried about your dad. I hope he will not hit me.”

I smiled, “I am sure he won’t.”

He rings the doorbell and after ringing tit twice, my mom and my dad came by the door and opened it for us. I hugged them instantly while Harry showed his formality through hugging my mom and shaking my father’s hand. Mom leads us to the dining table where I see Harry already sweating as soon as dad turned his back to us.

I smile to myself and Harry poked on my side which caused me to flinch before we sit on the table in front of my dad who is staring at Harry intently. The entire dining area smelled amazing and the whole table was filled with tasty foods. I am sure she learned all this from YouTube tutorials again that she has been getting hooked into lately. When mom joins the table, we began to eat.

“This is really tasty, Mrs. Swanepoel.” Harry complimented as he tells my mom.

“You can call me Gina.” Mom shies away like a high school, “But thank you Harry. I learned it all from YouTube. I am glad it turned out good.”

Harry smiles, “It is better than good.”

“Mom’s always been into cooking.” I tell Harry who is now focusing his attention on me. “When she is not busy with work, she tries to learn a new dish.”

Harry smiles, “My mum loves cooking too. She’s a pro in making English dishes and snacks. I’ll let you try them someday.”

I smile at him. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Dad clears his throat, “That all sounds so nice, young man.”

Harry turns to my dad, “Thank you, sir.”

“But we still need to talk about things that happened to you and Lindy in the past.”

“Dad.” I called out.

Harry holds my hand and smiled at me, “It’s okay, babe.” He says reassuringly.

He turns to my dad, “I know I have treated her unfairly sir and I hurt your daughter in a very awful way. But I want you to know Mr. Swanepoel that I didn’t do it for selfish reasons. I had to because the management would ruin her future and I didn’t want to be the reason why it would happen. I protected and secured her education because it was the rightful thing to do even if it would mean the two of us breaking up.”

His eyes travelled towards me, “I gave up my own happiness for her future because I didn’t want to be selfish.” Harry holds my hand before he faces my parents again and my mom looekd as if she was about to cry. “I honestly love your daughter and it would tremendously make us very happy if you will support this relationship she has with me.”

Dad clears his throat as he takes his fork, “You can call me Phil, Harry.” He says before he cotinues to eat.

A smile instantly creeps on my face as Harry stares back at me happily. My mom seemed so happy too as we continued to eat. As soon as main course was done, mom pulled out my favorite dessert which was in a whole different level. Everything tasted really great and the entire night was more than what I had imagined.

Harry and my dad were in the living room as they were talking about music since my dad was into music too. He showed Harry some of his old collections that he’s always been so proud about which surprisingly was adored by Harry. They had the same taste for music and Harry told my dad that music had always been a huge part in his life, especially Elvis. My dad was a huge Elvis Presley fan and I enjoyed seeing the two of them getting along.

I was in the kitchen helping my mom drying up the plates. “He is a good man, Lindy.”

I smile at my mom, “I know mom.”

“And he really loves you too.” She miles.

“I love him as well. I’m glad that dad managed to put his walls down for Harry.”

“Who wouldn’t? I mean, Harry came here to talk things with your father and to ask for our permission about the two of you going out again. That’s a very mature and serious man. And I am so happy and so proud of you.”

I stand from my feet and hugged my mom, “Thank you mom.”

She kisses my forearm, “You are very much welcome, honey. Talk to your dad because he was more anxious and nervous about this whole thing.”

I nod.

When we finished, we joined Harry and my dad in the living room.. “Harry?” Mom calls out and Harry was quick to turn his attention to my mom. “Can you help me in the kitchen? I want to pack some food for you to bring.”
