A Week later...

"Are you sure she's coming in, in this flight?" Gemma Styles asked her brother as they waited in the airport for Claudia.

"She said the 8:30 A.M. flight. This is the 8:30 A.M. flight." Harry replied calmly.

"Okay...do you know where she got the connection from?" Gemma asked.

"New York." Harry replied. "But you're right...she's taking a long time." Harry confessed.

"That's because this is the 8:30 A.M. Florida flight! Dummy!" Gemma pointed to the sign that said Florida for the destination they came from.

"Well, that's not good." Harry said alarmed.

"You travel all the time! How can you not know how to read these signs?!" Gemma laughed.

"Well, I don't typically take commercial planes." Harry pouted as he looked around for someone who worked there.

Half an hour later...

"Claudia?" Harry asked as he came up to a girl sitting on a bench on her phone with her suitcase next to her. She looked up to Harry with worried eyes that quickly changed to relief.

"Harry?" She asked with a smile on her face. "I was worried you forgot about me." Claudia confessed.

"No. Dummy over here couldn't find the Delta lobby for your flight." Gemma added in to the conversation.

Claudia looked at her a little confuse which Harry understood since they had never met, "This is my sis, Gemma." Harry introduced her to Claudia. Claudia smiled and put her hand out to shake, "I don't shake hands! I hug!" Gemma overlooked Claudia's hand and hugged her instead. Claudia didn't object but was caught off guard with the hug.

"Well, shall we get going then?" Harry asked happily.

"We shall!" Claudia happily replied as she started getting up.

"A double date? Sounds great!" Harry talked on the phone with management.

"..Alright. I'll tell Liam that. Yup. Okay, have a nice day Linda!" Harry pleasantly said good bye.

He was in a good mood that day.

He had just finished dropping Claudia off at her Hotel after a fun day through London with Gemma along.

"You seem happy." Gemma looked out the window as they went through the dark streets home at his mum's for the night.

"I am." Harry replied with a goofy grin.

"You really like her, huh?" Gemma asked as she finally took her eyes off of the window and looked at him instead.

"Yeah." In reality, he wasn't so sure now.

He really liked her...but he didn't feel like he actually loved her. This was always the issue he had which always made him doubt whether he just had too high expectations for love.

"Well...I guess she's a nice girl. I'm happy for you. You know mum's gonna want to meet her if you really fancy her." Gemma giggled.

"Yeah...well...not for now. I'm still testing the waters." Harry said less enthusiastic about the idea.

"Oh. I didn't know."

A Day Later...

"...Yeah, so we'll just pick them up, and be on our way." Harry explained the plan to Claudia on their way to Liam's. It was already a bit late, around 7 pm and the sun was setting.
