Chapter 19

"C'mon Alli! It's time to get up! We have loads to do today!" Louis yells. I turn to punch him in the stomach but he dodges it.

"Ugh. Lou, can't you just get the bloody hell away from me and let me sleep for a few more minutes?" I groan, snuggling in closer to Harry.

"Nope. We've got to get going. Or else we'll end up leaving you and Harry here." he threatens.

"Sounds good to me." I sigh in contentment and Harry's arms tighten around me.

Lou lets out an exasperated sigh, and leaves the room.

Ugh, finally. I focus my hearing on Harry's steady heartbeat and even breathing and soon, I fall back asleep.

I think I've finally got rid of Lou. I was wrong.He comes back. And this time, he's brought everyone with him. Dani is holding the camera and the rest of them start jumping on me and Harry's bed, disturbing our sleep. 

"Get up! It's time to get up!" they all chant and scream. 

A few minutes pass before I groan, giving up on having any more sleep.

"Okay, okay! We'll get up. God, can't get a minute of sleep without someone waking you up at the crack ass of dawn." I complain as I get up, go into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.

I hear laughter coming from the other side of the door, which only fuels my anger and frustration at them.

"That's going on Twitter faster than you can say carrots." I hear Louis say. 

Fucking fantastic. Now the world can see me in my tired, cranky, morning attitude and all its glory. I can hear Harry talking to them, though I can't make out what he's saying.

"Allison? Love, can I come in?" he quietly asks after knocking a few times.

I open the door for him to come in. 

"I'm sorry," I immediately apologize.

"For what?" he asks, genuinely confused. 

"For overreacting about them waking me up and everything." I sigh, running a hand through my mess of morning hair. He smiles at me before taking me into his arms. I rest my head against his chest as he gently kisses the top of my head.

"Don't worry about it." he whispers."You just need sleep. We don't have to go today if you don't feel like it."he offers.

"No, that's okay. I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, and besides, I'm much more woken up now. I'm fine," I reassure him.

"Okay. Well, we should start getting ready." he says. I nod my head and exit the bathroom to get my clothes while Harry takes a shower. 

Harry finally gets out of the bathroom, smelling absolutely wonderful, and his hair looking nice and curly. He gives me a kiss on the cheek as I pass him so I can take a shower and get ready. 

I take a shower, washing my hair so I don't have to do it later, and freshen up. I put my hair in a side fish-tail braid, and put on no make-up except for mascara. I'm happy I don't have bad skin. By the time I'm ready, everyone else is too. Harry and I head downstairs, hand in hand.

"So, what exactly are we doing today?" Dani asks once we're all sitting comfortably in the van Lou rented.

"We're going to be spending a whole week, maybe a little more depending on some stuff, seeing some of the top attractions in Italy. Our first stop, La Torre di Pisa." he informs us.

"Um, English please?" I say and Lou chuckles. 

"In English it means the Leaning Tower of Pisa." Liam translates.
