It's snowing like crazy where I live! And it's spring! So confused.....
We spend the whole day packing, Louis plays with Emmett and goes out to get us some food. We finally finish packing; we had spent the whole day doing it. All the guys come over to spend some time with us before we leave. We party and have a lot of fun, like we normally do. They all leave earlier than normal, all because we have to get up extremely early for our flight. We snuggle up in the bed with Emmett; I really don’t want to leave him. I hope he's going to be alright without us. "Leigh babe, He's going to be alright. He like Louis and he'll take good care of him." "I know, I just don’t want to leave him." Harry kisses my forehead, "I know love."
We laugh and play with Emmett before we have to go to sleep. We all curl up together, all three of us and we go to sleep. The alarm goes off at 4:30 in the morning. Harry fights me; he doesn’t want to get up. "Harry, Time to get up." I say while kissing him. "Noooooo." He mumbles out, "I'll buy you tea." He growls at me, "I'm going to take a shower, so, you can lay here." I say whispering it to him and then kissing his neck. He jumps up and grabs me, pulling me back into bed. He kisses me intensely. "What do you say? One last time in this bed?" "How about we wait, and break in my bed?" He winks and I get up to shower.
We get ready, and then it’s time to go. We put everything in the car, and I look up to see Emmett standing at the door looking at me. I walk back up there and hold him, trying not to cry. "I love you Em. You be a good boy while mommy's gone." I kiss the top of his head and he touches my nose with his. Harry comes up there and pets him. "I love you little man." He says, we realize we have to go.
Louis gets up, tells us bye and then he takes Emmett from my arms and we leave. While we're in the car I'm looking out the window, Harry's coming home with me. "He'll be fine." Harry says taking my hand and kissing it. I smile, letting him know that he's going to be fine. We make it to the airport and get our tickets. "You know." I say to Harry. “What?" "This is the first time we've traveled together. Usually it's a horrible sad goodbye." He kisses me, "not this time."
We get on the plane together, and then we sit down. We have a pretty good plane ride, Harry slept some. I looked out the window most of the time. When we landed Harry was asleep, I kiss him lightly on the cheek. "Welcome to the south." I said. He smiled and we got off the plane. I had my cousin pick us up.
"Well, well, well look who it is." "Charlie!!" I yelled, I ran to him and he hugged me, picking me up off the ground. Charlie was like my older brother instead of my cousin. "How ya doin Duke?" "I'm alright, you?" "Gettin where I need to be." I laugh at him, God I forgot how southern we are.
Charlie's in a plaid button down shirt, old dirty jeans, his workin boots and a hat. He's leaning up against his pick-up truck. Harry stays a little behind me. "Well, who's this?" He says. I motion Harry to come over, "Charlie, this is Harry." I say, Charlie looks him up and down, "Harry, this is my cousin Charlie." Charlie smiles, and puts his hand out, Harry shakes it, Charlie helps with the luggage and we all pile up in the truck. He drives us about two hours until we hit my home town, Cestdale. "Welcome to Cestdale." I tell Harry grabbing his hand. He smiles; we pull into my apartment, and unload everything. We still got that country smell to it.
We walk into the living room first then down the hallway to the bedrooms, the kitchen is right off the left of the living room. Harry sits on the bed, "What's that smell?" He asks. "That's the smell of the country." I say laughing. "Well, we got somewhere to be." I say pulling Harry up. We go out town to shop, "Leigh, what are we buying?" "If you’re gonna be in the country, you gotta look like the country, plus we got work in the morning." "WORK?!" Harry yells. "I got to take care of the farm while I'm here. Baby, I want you to experience where I come from. Every little bit of the country." I say. "Well what do we have to get?" "Boots." I respond walking over to the shoe section. We get the right size and we go home to change. He's meeting my family tonight.
We get ready; Harry acts nervous, "What's wrong Harry?" "What if they don’t like me?" "Harry. Baby, it's fine. They're going to love you." I kiss him and we leave. I'm wearing a red plaid shirt, with jeans and boots, my hair in curls and a little make up on. Harry's in a short sleeve t shirt, with jeans and his new pair of boots. There sits my baby. My white dodge truck. All jacked up and pretty. Gah I've missed it. "Hop in!" I say as I sit in the driver’s seat. He gets in and shuts the door. I turn in on and put it in drive.
We pull out and hit the main road. Harry keeps looking out the window. We hit the main road. We drive about 10 minutes then hit a dirt road. I grab Harry's hand; He smiles and kisses me on the cheek. He scoots over in the middle and puts his arm around me, going down the driveway; there are the horses and cows pins on both sides. We pull in at Dad's house. I park and Dad walks out.
"Daddy!!!" "Hey Duke!" Dad says as I jump on him and hug him. Harry falls out of the truck, and walks onto the porch. "Who's that?" Dad whispers in my ear. I turn around to see Harry standing there with his hands in his pockets, stiff arms. Makes me think about when I first met him. I walk over to him and put my arm around his waist, then the other one around his stomach. I look at him and wink. His arm falls to my waist. "Daddy, this is Harry." Harry looks at me then at him. "Harry this is my daddy." Harry reaches out his hand and dad takes it, shaking it firmly. "Leigh, why dontcha go on into the kitchen, help your maw-maw with supper.” I look at Harry, hug him and go into the house. "Maw-Maw Linda!" I yell when I see her.
We cook in the kitchen, but I over hear dad and Harry. "Well, you’re welcome to come in." "Thank you sir, it's very nice to meet you." Harry responds walking into the house. It's a complete wooden house, with stone in some places, very cozy. The smell of fried chicken fills the air. Dad walks past Harry and sits in the recliner, that's dad's favorite place to sit. Harry sits on the couch to the right of him. "Harry." I yell. "Come in the kitchen." I can hear his boots against the wood floor. He walks in the kitchen and stands in the door way. "Well, is this that boy you don’t stop talking about?" "Maw maw!" I yell, she laughs at me, Harry blushes, "Well, he's mighty cute." "Thank you ma'am." He responds, I wink at him, there's food everywhere. Maw-maw always makes a ton of food.
"Well, aint cha gonna sit down and tell me about yourself?" Maw maw asks Harry. He sits at the table and faces us. "I'm from Britain; I'm in a band called One Direction. I have an older sister named Gemma." Maw maw stops cooking and listens to Harry talk about him. I keep cooking while they talk. Daddy comes in the kitchen and talks with them. I finish supper and set the table.
We all laugh and talk, it seems like Harry and dad are warming up to each other. After we finish eating, I start to clean but Mawmaw tells me to go show Harry the farm. I kiss her on the cheek, the same with daddy. "Duke, here." He hands me my four-wheeler key. "I'll be back soon, love you." I hug him and we leave. "Where are we going?" Harry asks, I smile at him and run, I hear him running after me. I stop at the barn and he crashes into me, I turn on the light, there's Moonshine, Georgia, Firecracker, and Shadow.
