"Harry!" I hear woman say as we get off the plane and walk into the airport, I assume it's his grandmother. She looks like the sweetest old lady!

"Hi gran!" He says before leaning down and hugging her. I smile at the adorable sight. "This is my girlfriend, Aubrey" He says as they pull apart.

"Are you sure? She's so beautiful!" She jokes and walks over to me, pulling me into a tight embrace. "I was more excited to see you than my grandson" she laughs.

"Thanks gran!" Harry says and we start walking out of the terminal.

"Well hi dear, I'm obviously Harry's grandmother, but you can call me gran!" She says to me. "Did you have a good flight?"

"Yeah, it wasn't too bad!" I say.

"That's good! So the boys are waiting at the house, they are very eager to meet the infamous, Aubrey!"

"I'm excited to meet them!" I say and lace my fingers with Harry's.

"They can be a little... Much sometimes.." He smiles.

On the drive to the house, gran points out different things out the window like she's my tour guide. I really like her already. Very sweet and kind.

"Haz! Is this the lucky lady?" I hear one of Harry's friends say when we get into his grandmother's house, which is very nice.

"Yep, guys this is Aubrey" Harry says, seeming a little nervous.

I meet all of his friends, Louis, who is just as I imagined after talking to him on the phone a couple weeks ago. Very cheeky and funny. Then Niall and Zayn, who are very polite and nice. Finally I greet Liam who gives me a hug, he seems like the mature one of the group!

"Well you two go get ready, Zayn's having people over tonight" I hear the blonde one say before Harry takes my hand and drags me upstairs.

"Sorry if that was overwhelming" he laughs and I join. They are very outgoing and I feel like we'll all get along.

"I like them, they're nice!" I say and open my suitcase. I need to change into something nicer because I just wore jeans and one of Harry's sweatshirts on the plane.

"We don't have to go, if you want to just stay here.." Harry asks.

"No, we should go! It'll be fun" I assure him. I really do want to get to know Harry's friends better. Maybe they'll tell me something about him that I don't know yet, or I'll get to know what he was like when he was younger!

"But you'll tell me if you want to leave, right?"

"I promise!"

"Alright well let's go then, I think they're waiting"

"Okay let me just find a different pair of shoes" I say while digging through my bags and finally pulling out the pair of shoes.

****

"Alright gran, we're going to Zayn's. thanks for picking us up from the airport" Harry says to her and grabs a pair of keys from a dish on the table.

"Yes thank you very much!" I agree and follow behind Harry into the garage. He walks past a BMW and unlocks a range rover.

"You have your own car here?" I say with wide eyes.

"Well it was my grandpa's, so gran just kept it for when I come home" Harry explains and I just nod my head. I want to know what happened to his grandfather, but I don't want to ask. I feel like if Harry wanted to talk about it, he would have, so I just let it go.

"So what's your favorite thing to do when you're here?" I ask on the way to Zayn's, trying to break this awkward silence.

"Really, just hanging out with the guys. And gran of course." He smiles and rests a hand on my thigh. "I'm really glad you came Aubs, we'll have a good time"

"I think so too" I lean over the center console and press a kiss to his cheek.

We pull up to a modest-sized home with a few cars parked out front and Harry stops and jogs around his car to open my door. I'm starting to get a little nervous.. I know I just met his friends, but I haven't really talked to them. What if they don't like me?

I thank Harry and hop out of the car before grabbing his hand.

"You'll tell me if you want to leave, right?"

"Yes Harry!" I say and we continue towards the house.

"The guests if honor are here!" Louis says after we walk inside to find a bunch of people. Oh great, already drunk!

"Oh my gosh! You're Aubrey?" A girl comes up to me and asks. She is very pretty, and looks my age.

"Umm.. Yeah?" I ask with a confused smile.

"I can already tell you're too good for Harry" she laughs and looks at him.

"Gee thanks El" He chuckles.

"Come with me and meet the girls! We've been dying to meet you ever since Harry came home and wouldn't stop talking about you!" She smiles and grabs my hand. I laugh and look to see Harry's cheek turn red. I give him a quick peck and let go of his hand to follow this girl who I don't know.

"I'll be with the boys, text me if you need me" he says and I nod as we walk away.

"Wow, never seen Haz like that!"

"Like what?" I ask the girl that's pulling me.

"In love" she laughs and I blush.

"Okay Aubrey, this is Danielle, Liam's girlfriend, Perrie is Zayn's girlfriend and oh god, I'm Eleanor! Louis' girlfriend" She laughs and the rest join in. I'm guessing they're all drunk too..

"Hi guys!" I say and sit down next to Perrie.

"Oh my gosh, your accent is so cute, say something else!"

"Like what?" I smile.

"I don't know, but I love American accents!" Danielle exclaims.

"Thank you" I laugh.

"Do you want a drink?" Perrie asks as she hands me a bottle of some clear liquid.

"I'm fine, thanks" I politely decline. I don't really want to get shit faced around people I don't know. And if Harrys drinking then I'll have to drive.

"Oh come on! Didn't Harry drive?" Perrie says and holds the bottle in front of me.

"Yeah but-"

"Have some fun!" She says and I decide accept her offer. Maybe it will help me get rid of these nerves? Yeah I'll just try a little.

I take the bottle from her hand and take a sip of the alcohol. The first sip burns as I swallow, but it's my favorite, raspberry vodka, so I take another large swig.

"No chaser, we like you already!" Danielle says from across the room and I smile. After all those parties that my friends and I have thrown, I've grown a pretty strong tolerance to liquor and will drink almost anything straight. But no, I am not an alcoholic! Just a teenager who likes to party.

After passing the bottle around amongst the girls a few more times, I start to relax and it calms my nerves.

"So what's it like in America.. California, right?" Eleanor asks.

"I love it, it's warm and busy and I love the beach" I smile.

"I've always wanted to go there" She says. "Do you like it here so far?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen much but Harry is taking me to London tomorrow"

"That is so cute! You'll love it"

"I still think it's weird how Harry is acting, I've never seen him like this!"

"Right?!"

"What do you guys mean?" I ask curiously.

"I don't know, he's just always so.. rough and tough, but every time I've seen him since you two
started dating, he's totally softened up!" Danielle says and the other girls nod in agreement.

"It's nothing bad! It's actually good! I think you make him a better person" Perrie smiles.

"Well he definitely makes me a better person!" I say. "But tell me something about him that I wouldn't know! Any embarrassing memories?" I say with a smirk.

"Oh gosh.. Where to start?" Eleanor smiles and the girls giggle.

We stayed in the room for hours as they told me about all the funny things about Harry that they could remember and I don't think we stopped laughing. I haven't known them for very long, but I already like them. They remind me of my friends back home.

"Oh my gosh! How could we forget the time when Harry was visiting, and he just got super drunk and fell asleep in Niall's dog's bed!? That was hilarious!" Perrie says before the door to the bedroom we are in abruptly swings open.


Harry's POV

Once Louis had drifted off into a drunken sleep, I decided to go check on Aubrey. I hadn't seen her all night, but I figured if she was with the girls she'd be alright.

I stood up from the chair and carefully avoided the sleeping people on the floor to go find Aubrey. She made it easy when I heard all of the girls laughing from Zayn's room. I opened the door to see her, Perrie, Eleanor and Danielle sitting in a circle laughing hysterically.

"Harrrrrry!" Aubrey exclaims when she's sees me. I should've known these girls would get her drunk. Good thing I only had a beer so I can take care of her and bring her home.

"Hey babe" I say and kiss her when she throws herself at me. "Are you ready to go?"

"No let her stay! We were having so much fun!" Perrie pleads and I smile. It seems like they're really getting on well and I'm glad. I really hoped Aubs would like my friends.

"Perrie, it's four in the morning!" I laugh and she checks her phone to confirm the time. "We'll all hang out soon, I promise!"

"Alrighttttt, fine!" She pouts.

They all hug Aubrey and exchange phone numbers while I awkwardly wait by the door.

"Okay I'm ready!" Aubrey says and walks towards me. "Bye girls! See ya soon" she turns around and waves at the girls.

"So did you like them?" I ask her as we walk out to the car.

"I love them! They are so nice!" She slurs.

"Good, well lets get you home before you pass out" I laugh and she lazily nods her head.
I begin the familiar drive home and we almost make it back when I see the flashing red and blue lights in my rear view mirror. Fuck.

I pull over and struggle to find my wallet in my pants pocket when the police officer knocks on my window and I slowly roll it down. Thankfully Aubrey fell asleep as soon as we started driving otherwise she would be freaking out.

"Do you know why I pulled you over sir?"

I looked nervously at the middle aged man and slightly shook my head. I really don't know why, I only had one Stella, I'm certainly not drunk. My heart sunk thinking about the alcohol, but then remembered we are back in England. Thankfully the drinking age here is 18, otherwise Aubrey and I would both be in some deep shit right now.

"Well you were going a little fast, and it's very late."

"Oh um, I'm sorry officer, we were just heading home"

He asked me the typical questions that I was too familiar with. After explaining we were only at a friends house and apologizing for speeding, he let me off with a warning and got back into his car. I took a minute to calm down before I started driving again. Shit, I did not need a ticket, that's for sure.

"Why are we stopped?" I hear Aubrey's quiet voice ask and look over to see her opening her eyes to take in the surroundings.

"I just got pulled over"

"Oh my god! Did you get a ticket?" She asks frantically.

"No, just a warning" I say and take her smaller hand in mine before driving again. She shoots me a small smile before leaning her head against the window again.

We finally make it home and I am forced to carry the sleeping beauty inside, but I don't mind because now I get control of where she sleeps. I bring her to my room and set her on my bed, there is no way she's sleeping in the guest room! I struggle to take off her jeans because she is still sleeping, but I don't want her to be uncomfortable and sleep in them. I stop for a moment, admiring her perfect body before I snap out of it and pull of my jeans and shirt to climb into bed with her. I'm so glad she's here with me.
