Chapter 20: it's official

Henry's POV

"You what!" Spencer shouted. I knew straight away I was in for it.

"I uh, I, I." I struggled for words. Luckily for me, Stella decided to make herself present.

"What's going on?" She asked, confused. She'd cleaned herself up and looked a lot better.

"Is it true?" Spencer asked.

"Is what true?" Stella asked, still confused.

"That you and Henry are going out." Spencer asked again. The look on Stella's face was priceless.

"I'm going to go back in the bathroom." She said, quickly turning away.

"Don't you dare." Spencer shouted.

"Okay, okay." Stella said moving towards spencer. "It's true dad. Now run Henry!"

I didn't need to be told twice. Both Stella and I legged it to the door and quickly slammed it shut. We then ran downstairs into the room where the loud music was coming from, so we could blend in with the other guests. By now everyone had moved into this room, including the team. Both Stella and I burst out laughing when we saw all of them dancing badly. We carried on moving through the crowd until I spotted a large drinks table. Just like little kids, we dove under it and hid.

"We're in trouble." Stella said in absolute hysterics.

"We're in trouble, more like I'm in trouble, you should of seen your dads face." I said, laughing as well.

"Why did you tell him?" Stella asked.

"I felt bad. I've known him my whole life." I laughed.

"I see what you mean, he does have that puppy dog look." Stella giggled.

"So are we going to stay under here all night then." I asked.

"Sounds like a good idea to me." Stella said.

"Same, but we can't stay here forever." I stated.

Watch me." Stella laughed. I loved it when she laughed. It was so sweet and instantly brought a smile to my face. Before I knew it are lips met again and we were kissing. When we pulled apart we both couldn't help but giggle.

"I like you Stella, a lot." I smiled.

"I like you too Henry."stella smiled back.

"Now, I would love to stay here forever but looking at my watch its nearly eight, so what say he just hang at the back of the crowd." I suggested.

"Agreed." Stella said quickly. Together we got put from under the table to find that everyone was still dancing. Spencer was talking to mum and dad looking very annoyed. Just looking at his face made Stella and I start laughing again.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you two." Boomed a voice from behind us.

"Jeez Derek you scared the crap out of us." Stella cried.

"Sorry, it's loud in here. Anyway I'm going to bring out something I know you'll like so stay close." Morgan announced.

"Do we have to, we are kind of hiding from someone." Stella moaned.

"Who may that be?" Morgan asked, suddenly interested.

"spencer." I replied.

"Well of you don't stay put I could easily call him over." morgan joked.

"No." We both said in unison.

"Thought you'd say that. Now don't wonder off." Morgan laughed, as hhe turned and made his way to the front of the room. "Excuse me can I have everyone's attention." He shouted. The music turned off and all eyes were on him. "I'd just like to thank all of my friends for joining me again at my annual birthdaY bash. It's so nice to know such a wonderful group of people, who you can have a great time with. This year especially I would like to dedicate it to a new member of our family. Stella Reid." Morgan cried, everyone's eyes were now on Stella and I could tell how much she hated the attention. I could also see Spencer's beady eye on the both of us and he subtly started moving towards us.

"Now Stella, the team all pitched in to give you a little welcome present. I'll give it to you later but I really hope you like it." I could see the relief wash over Stella when Morgan didn't make her get it in front of everyone. "Now everyone, carry on partying and I hope you have a good time!" Morgan finished up, he was greeted by a load of cheers ever the music turned back on.

I quickly turned to see how close spencer was to us. It scared me to death when I realized he was standing right behind me and before Stella and I could run he grabbed onto our shoulders.

"Quiet room. Now." Spencer said firmly. Stubbornly Stella and I left the partying people and made out way to the large quiet room. It was completely empty, except for the fact that mum and dad were there. Great I really had it coming.

Stellas POV

The events of tonight had whizz ed by in a blur. Henry had kissed me twice, asked me out, seen me cry and now we were being interrogated by dad. As we made our way into the quiet room, I was slightly shocked to see that dad had got JJ and will in there.

"Sit." Dad stated firmly.

"Jeez dad since when did you get all hotch like." I said seriously.

"Since you decided to act immature." Dad replied back. He wasn't wrong, we should of really talked to him instead of run away and hide under a table.

"Henry what are you doing?" JJ asked. "Stella is nearly two years younger than you.

"Your point is? Dads older than you and don't tell me it's different because its not. I like Stella and Stella likes me why can't you just accept that and get on with it." Henry said boldly. He was going to get it from being it warmed my heart though that he openly admitted that he liked me.

"Don't even go there with me Henry. I get it you two like each other, but your young." JJ replied sternly.

"Exactly, it's just going to end in one of you getting hurt and Stella you've been through enough as it is." Dad spoke up.

"Dad, I'm not five. I can deal with things on my own." I replied back.

"I'm not saying you can't. Listen to be perfectly honest I don't have a problem with you dating a boy like Henry. It's just I don't want you to get hurt." Dad said, his tone a lot more calmer.

"Trust me spencer, the last thing I want to do is hurt Stella. I really care about her." Henry spoke passionately. For some reason this made me smile a lot. Dad seemed to pick this up and stared at me intensely.

"You know what Stella, you two obviously like each other and there's nothing I can do to stop that. If I didn't let you see each other you'd find a way, like you always do. I can see that you make each other happy and your happiness is the most important thing I care about. JJ, will, if Henry hurts her, he will look worse than he did with the whole Paul thing, but I'm hoping that won't happen. Just no funny business alright." Dad said, smiling slightly. I was over the moon, I instantly jumped up and hugged dad.

"thank you, thank you so much." I cried.

"Don't worry Reid, if Henry hurts Stella, he will get it from me." JJ warned, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Right I'm going back to the big room, you two be good." Dad warned.

"Same here. No funny business." JJ warned, following dad. Leaving just Will, Henry and I left in the room.

"Hen, don't tell your mum but I had no problem with you two. In fact good on you. Just be sensible, okay. I don't want to see to much public affection, but then again the old song is alright." Will laughed.

"Dad, go now." Henry said punching him.

"I'm going, I'll leave you two lovebirds to it." Will said leaving the room. Once we were on our own he both hugged each other happily.

"Guess it's official now." Henry laughed.

"Guess you're right." I smiled
