{Katie's POV}
Erin tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out the plane window.
"Dude! Look what you're missing!" She said, obviously commenting on the fact that I had my eyes closed and my headphones in, blocking out everything around me. I had forgotten how much I hated planes and I was definately looking forward to getting off. I never seemed to get used to these trips even though I took them so regularly.
"It's just the ocean. I've been over this route a thousand times Erin... It hasn't changed..." I mumbled
"Oh really?" She asked, smirking "The ocean looks an awful lot like London Bridge from here then..."
I scrambled over to see what Erin was looking at. We were indeed flying over London already. I could see Big Ben and the London Eye. I couldn't believe we were so close to landing already. My stomach jumped as I realised that in a matter of hours I would be seeing Harry again. I could tell that a similar thought had just processed through Erins mind too. It had been far too long.
{Harry's POV}
I checked my watch and jumped up, noticing the time. Without a single thought I ran to the door and grabbed the keys to my car. I was going to pick up Katie. Her plane would be arriving within a matter of minutes. I caught sight of myself in the reflection of the car window. Cursing, I turned around and ran back inside. I couldn't go like this. My hair was a mess and a singlet and jeans was NOT going to leave a good first impression on Mrs Belle. I changed into something a little more respectable and ran a comb through my hair as I ran back down the hall and out the door, passing Niall as I left.
"EY HARRY! Where are you going in such a hurry?!" He called after me
I hesitated in my reply.
"Urm... to pick up Katie?" it was posed more as a question then anything.
"That's TODAY?!?" He asked, evidently surprised, "Could I go with you?"
He was often tagging along. I felt sorry for him considering all the other boys were off with their girls. Louis was already probably halfway to the airport by now. I was about to say yes when I remembered Mrs Belles words before she hung up.
"No. Definitely not." anger boiling over at the memory of the words.
Calm the fuck down Harry... You're overreacting. That was too harsh. Niall looked pretty hurt at my conclusion but shrugged it off and started to leave.
"Niall!... Sorry mate, that was---
"Nah, You wanna spend time alone with your girl. That's perfectly fine. It's not like she's my friend too..." He spat sarcastically before walking off again.
I didn't have time to worry about this. I got in my car and drove off. I was running late.
{Nialls POV}
I immediately regretted storming off like a child.
But...
Harry's reaction HAD taken me by surprise.
Did he know?
Did he know how I've been feeling?
I mean... I don't even know...
{Katie's POV}
After we collected our bags we went and sat down to wait for our ride into the city. Erin was fiddling with her clothes, trying to look perfect for when she saw Louis.
"Do you think I should have worn different earrings?" She fussed
"I honestly don't think he's going to care Erin. He hasn't seen you in months so I don't think he's going to be looking at your earrings..."
"Yeah... You're right... I guess I'm just reall--- LOUIS!!!" She screamed, jumping up and running over to where he had just entered.
He picked her up by the waist and spun her 'round, planting a soft kiss on her lips as she landed. The paps waiting nearby went mad, their cameras were madly flashing as they tried to get the best shots. The effect of the flash made it look as though they were surrounded by fireworks. Erin and Lou walked back over to where my mum and I were waiting patiently, never letting go of each other. As they sat down a group of girls came running over and asked for a picture, which Louis was happy to take and as they walked away he turned to me.
"Where's Harry?" He asked, concerned.
"I-I don't know..." I stuttered, "I thought he was coming with you..."
"Nah, Not enough car space" He gestured to all our suitcases and laughed, "Oh and this must be your mum," He put his hand out for a handshake
"Please, My name's Julie" My mum said, accepting his firm grip
Everything was quiet for a little while and then Erin started giggling.
"What? What's so funny?" Louis asked
"Zayn sent me the video of you when you were drunk..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How 'bout I just take Erin and Julie, and when Harry arrives you can go with him?"
Louis and I were becoming quite concerned about how late Harry was. We didn't know where he was and he wasn't replying to texts or phone calls.
"Yeah, ok" I said a little disappointed but understanding that they wanted to get out of the busy airport.
Where could he be? Why is it taking so long?
A young, important-looking woman in a swede jacket and a peplum skirt waddled over to me in her ridiculously high heels and tight skirt.
"Do you mind answering a few teeny-tiny questions for me?" She asked innocently with a strong Northerner accent
"Umm..."
"Wonderful! It won't take a second, I promise!"
"I-I..."
The woman, who must have been in her mid-twenties, took out a pen and notebook
"Now, to start off I noticed the newest couple leaving the airport without you just then. Is there a reason you didn't go with them?"
"I-I'm getting picked up by someone else..."
"Ooh! Another one of the boys?"
"Umm... Harry..."
Was I saying too much? I couldn't give anything away... Right?
"Harry eh? You don't fancy him do you love?"
"No. No..." I tried to sound as casual as possible.
"Oh... So what are you doing here in London?"
"Visiting family." Her questions were starting to get on my nerves.
"Is that all? Hmm?"
"Well... That's why I came... I'm going on the 'Chatty Man' show too... I guess... But that's about it... I haven't seen the boys in a while so I might spend more time with them... Yeah..."
"Back onto the topic of Harry now... You have been spotted with him on numerous occasions and far more often than the others. Are you SURE there's not something you want to tell us?"
She certainly was pressing. My problem is that I'm not a very good lier. I'd be better off just telling the truth. Maybe I was finally ready to tell the world... Would I regret it? I opened my mouth to reply but I was distracted by a rough, sexy, but stressed voice that came from behind me.
"No. No she doesn't. We're just friends."
I turned around to see Harry standing behind me. I couldn't believe how easy he found it to lie to this woman.
"I'll take it from here," He said, taking my hand and suitcase and walking out to his car, leaving the woman with a look on her face that made it appear as though she had been smacked cold with a bag of ice.
All I could think at first was of how grateful I was that he had arrived. Then I remembered how long it had taken for him to turn up. We walked for quite a distance and then finally found his car in an uninhabited side-street. He was just about to get into the black vehicle when I smashed my handbag into his side. Not hard. Just enough to get his attention.
"Ouch! What was that for?" he asked
"WHY did it take so long?"
I hit him again.
"WHERE have you been?"
"WHY didn't you answer calls?"
He started to turn away, smirking.
So naturally...
My bag made contact with his side again.
"WE WERE worried sick!"
"LOUIS had NO idea where you were!"
"WHAT are you going to do to make up for this now? Huh?"
He grabbed my waist and dipped me until I was leaning over his carseat. Our bodies were half in the car, half out. I grabbed onto his shirt to stop me from falling right back. He didn't say a word, he just looked straight into my eyes. It was the kind of feeling that felt like he was staring directly into my soul. As quick as anything he dove in and his lips found mine. After lingering for a short while, he pulled away.
"T-th-that could work..." I mumbled breathlessly
"Good. Now get in the car." he couldn't wipe that smug smile off his face.
I jumped into the front seat and we took off with the radio blaring. Harry had one hand on the steering wheel and his other hand was holding mine the same way he would hold my hand in the coffee shop - gently resting on top with our fingers intertwined.
I was finally with Harry again. I could tell life was going to pick up from here. No more boring days. Not when I'm with Harry. My Harry.
I just felt like something interesting was going to happen... And happen soon...
