Ashlynn's POV.

I woke up the next morning with a bony arm layed across my neck and a long leg over my waist. At first I was totally confused till I remembered Eleanor stayed the night last night. I couldn't tell if she was a cuddler or a really hard sleeper...all I knew is that she was snoring and it had to stop.

"Eleanor...El....ELEANOR! GET OFF ME!" I yelled at her as she shot up now realizing where she was. Looking down at me she started laughing.

"Geez woman do you always sleep like that?!" I asked her seriously concerned for Louis' health!

"HA HA. NO. I was just so tired biotch!" she said to me sarcastically.

I got out of bed offering her one of my extra tooth brushes. " Do you wanna go to lunch? I'm STARVING?!" she asked me as she was brushing her pearly whites.

"YESSS! FOOOD! Call the other girls and see if they want to go!" I told her after I spit the water into the sink.

Eleanor's POV.

We got to Nandos and I could tell Ashlynn was a bit distracted. "Have you talked to Harry today love? " I asked her. She nodded her no a bit disappointed.

My phone buzzed and I looked down to see a text from Lou
-----------------
Louis Love: Hey love, we just landed.

Me: Tell me what you know.

Louis Love: What are you talking about?

Me: You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Louis Love: Dammit El. It's not my business to tell..

Me: Louis Tomlinson!

Louis Love: Don't tell Ashlynn, but they set Harry up with another PR stunt..

Me: What madness is it now?

Louis Love: Kendall Jenner.

Me: She's bad news bears Lou.

Louis Love: I know. Listen babe I G2G. Love you!
-----------------

"What's wrong?" Ashlynn asked me snapping my head away from my phone.

"Nothing! WHY?!" I said to her quickly.

"You just look confused." She said to me just as confused now.

"I always look confused...silly girl. I'm great. I'm grand! I'm with my best friend! Yippee" I said to her now panicking.

"You are so weird" she said to me and then turning back to face the menu deciding on what she wanted.

Oh God. If there are two things I know its that:

#1. I am not good at keeping secrets...AT ALL. My hair was going to turn gray by the time this weekend was over if I didn't say anything and Ashlynn was going to catch on.

#2. Kendall Jenner was a nice girl..most of the time. The rest of the time she was the furthest thing from nice. If she wanted anything to actually do with harry then then was not going to end well...for anyone. She always got what she wanted.

"Hey girls!" I heard Perrie say as she walked in the front door with Sophia. I needed to tell someone.

'Hey y'all!" Ashlynn shouted at them!

" Do you always say 'y'all'? It's cute it's just so TEXAN!" Sophia asked Ashlynn!

"I suppose I do..It's just something I've always done!" Ashlynn said to Sophia, Perrie ,and I now laughing.

"Y'all excited for this weekend?" Ash asked.

"Dude I can't wait! I'm just excited for us all to be together for more than an hour!" Sophia said.

"I'm excited to be off of work for more than 24 hours! It is much needed that's for sure." Perrie stated leading us all to shake our heads in agreement!

"OH GOD, i almost forgot! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE COVER YOU TWO!" Sophia congratulated Ashlynn and I with hugs!

"Thank you! I was hoping next time you can model for me Soph?" Ashlynn asked nervously.

"I WOULD LOVE THAT!" Sophia agreed.

I was now majorly stressing about this weekend. I had flown Jayci down to surprise Ashlynn and I was so excited to meet her. There was that secret and then there was the Ashlynn's job offer secret and now I had the Kendall Jenner secret. This is not going to end well. Especially when we mix alcohol into the picture.

-------------------

Ashlynn's POV.

Besides Eleanor acting beyond weird and Harry and I being on not so great terms I was really excited to spend this weekend with my favorite people. We had packed all of our bags and the ice chests into Harry's Range Rover. We stopped at the store on the way to the lake to get food for the weekend. Harry had left me his truck keys and his credit card to get the food for the weekend with a note that said "Take my car..make sure you drive it. No one else. Here's my card. Don't you or the girls pay for it. This is your weekend. Sorry I'm not there. - H" Honestly I think he was trying to make it up to me but something tells me he would have done this even if we weren't being weird. He probably just would have been nicer about it. I don't care how frustrated I was with him, I missed him a lot.

We left the store with way more food and alcohol then we needed. We walked out of the store to be bombarded with paps. Thankfully no one really knew who I was yet...or did they?

"Girls, what do you have planned for this weekend?" a pap asked.

"It's her birthday!" Perrie said pointing to me!

"Cool! Happy Birthday!" another pap said. Some of the paps weren't so bad,.. they just wanted to make a buck and feed their kids. I understood that. Some were just so mean though.

"Thanks so much!" I said smiling at them!

"Are you girls going to celebrate with the boys?" the first pap asked.

"Hopefully. Who knows? They are in New York right now!" Sophia told them!

"Eleanor, congratulations on your cover photo!" the same pap asked.

"THANK YOU! Ashlynn here took the pictures!" El said.

"Wow it was really great! You are really talented!" they said.

"Thank you." I said as we got to the car "Y'all have a good weekend!" I ended talking to them as we loaded everything into the truck.

If they didn't know Harry and I were dating they do now.

"Well I guess cat is out of the bag now, eh?" Sophia said.

"What do you mean?" Perrie asked her cuing us all in.

"If the paps didn't know Ash and Harry were dating ...they do now."

"How?" El asked.

'Well for starters they know her name now..where she works..that shes from Texas..I mean we all heard her say 'Y'all'. She's wearing his shirt and driving his truck and she's hanging out with us..the girlfriends club over here" She was right. I didn't even realize I was wearing his shirt till she said it. Shit. Harry is not going to be happy.

---------------

After a hour long drive we finally arrived at Eleanor's lake house and was it beautiful! At this very moment in time I was so happy. We parked the truck and unloaded everything and toured the house..

"Hey Ashlynn.. You and Harry can stay in this room.." Eleanor told me as she pointed me to what looked like the master bedroom.

"Thanks El!" I told her as she followed me into the room. Suddenly I realized that I have been holding me pee in for a good 3 hours.

"I'm going to use the potty." I told her and she nodded leaving the room. I walked into the restroom when I called Jayci. I missed her a whole lot. As the phone was ringing I heard her ringtone in the bathroom closet. I hung up the phone and called it again to make sure I wasn't imagining things. It rang aloud again. Nope wasn't imagining anything. I opened up the bathroom closet door to see my very best friend pop out!

" SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" she yelled at me bringing me to tears and to pee my pants.

'OHMIGOD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I asked her not even caring about my pee!

" ELEANOR WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU SO SHE FLEW ME HERE SO I COULD BE WITH YOU GUYS THIS WEEKEND!" she told me pulling me into her arms! "Ashlynn...I don't want to ruin this moment..but did you pee?" she asked me with laughter loudly coming from her mouth!

'Yes...I really had to go and then you scared me and I got excited...I'll change and then I'll take you downstairs so you can meet everyone!" I told her as she nodded still laughing.

I changed my shorts and tackled my best friend. "I am so happy you're here!" I told her with tears in my eyes.

" Me too! Why are you crying though?!" she asked now concerned..

"There is just so much I have to tell you." I told her.

After about 20 minutes I had told her everything that had happened that past week. From Harry to my job offer to getting talked up by the paps last night and today.

"Wow I never realized how much can happen in one week..." She said to me totally stunned. I was about to start saying something to her when my phone buzzed.

Harry: Just landed at Heathrow. Already packed. You at the lake house already?

"Oh la la, is that Harold?" Jayci asked me leading me to nod. "It's so weird that y'all are dating .. I can't even wrap my head around it."

"Yeah...you and me both." I told her. I looked back down at my phone to text Harry back.

Me: Good. & yes sir. I have someone I want you to meet when you get here. Be careful.

Harry: Sounds good.

Me: Hey Harry..

Harry: Yep?

Me: I miss you.

Harry: I miss you babe. Sorry I've been an arse.

The last text he sent me brought a smile to my face. Finally acknowledging what I've been waiting for. I knew this Harry relationship thing was not going to be easy. But something told me it would be worth it. I needed him. Now I just needed him to be here with me and everyone else. Here holding me close to him keeping me safe like he had been doing.
