"Soo...what's this about?" Harry flung himself onto my sofa as I placed myself next to him, a mischievous grin on my face.

"Do you know when you and the others are next free?" My eyes locked onto his, impatiently awaiting his response.

"Uhh..yeah I can check their calendars hang on." His eyes glanced down on his phone and he pulled out a calendar app, showing the schedules of the boys.

"Next Thursday till Sunday we're all free." He said, glancing back up at me.

"Hmm, how about we all go away to France? To do skiing or something. I can always book it I'm stacked." It sounded like a bit of a flex but it was true; I'd made millions off' social media and my parents were rich from being engineers, which made it easier to organise trips such as this.

Harry's eyes lit up at the thought of it. "That actually sounds like a good idea. Il ask the rest hold on." He clicked onto WhatsApp, quickly typing a message to a group chat named 'troops'.

Within seconds he got a reply, "they all seem interested. You sure you don't want me to pay for anything?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Positive, leave the booking and flights to me. Il sent everyone the details." I squealed with excitement as I gentle hugged Harry, but soon pulled away, trying not to make him feel uncomfortable.

"I'll add you to this group chat, so you can send everyone the details." I nodded as his eyes locked onto his phone.

Soon enough, I heard a notification letting me know I was added to the group chat. "Thanks" I whispered to Harry.

"No problem. I have to get going now as I have a shoot in 30 mins but I'll keep in touch." He gave me an awkward smile as we both stood up. He pulled me into an awkward hug before turning to leave the building.

Soon enough, I was left all alone to drown in my thoughts, and simmer in excitement for next Thursday.

Eventually, after what felt like decades of waiting, the day had arrived and I'd somehow ended up at the airport, shaking with excitement. Laura stood next to me in awe, disbelief flooded her, knowing that she was about to go on holiday with her idols.

Of course, I had to bring Laura along; I knew it would be unfair to go on holiday with her idols without bringing her along. And either way, I'd never really travelled without her, except for school trips or when I had modelling shoots.

"Oh my god he's even more handsome in person." Laura gasped, staring directly at Harry. "No wonder everyone simps for him."

Laura somehow hadn't told me that she'd been crushing on Harry for 5 whole years, until this morning in the car. She stood, practically drooling as she gazed at him.

I couldn't help but smile to myself because in reality, I felt the same way, but I could never tell him that. I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship we'd built up already and risk my relationship with Laura, because I knew she would be livid if I tried going after her so called 'husband.'

As we boarded the flight, I took a seat next to Laura.

We were sat in the middle isle, meaning that there was still a spare place next to me. Josh, Freya and Talia had sat behind us while Vik, Freezy and Tobi were sat in front. The others were sat on the side isles.

"I wish we'd sat by window, I was looking forward to the view." I whined to Laura, as she rolled her eyes at me.

"You'll probably end up sleeping anyway." She moaned.

"It's only an hour and 20 minutes away! There's no way I'm sleeping in that time!" I continued to moan, before glancing down at my phone.

"Well it looks like you've got a better view to look at now." A deep voice spoke, as he gently sat down next to me, smiling.

Sarcastically, I rolled my eyes at him. "I'd rather take the window seat, at least the view isn't annoying." I said, slightly chuckling to myself. He laughed back at me before playfully nudging me on the shoulder.

Laura seemed to notice that Harry was next to me and clasped her hand over her mouth, before leaning over to whisper to me. "Wow, I can't believe he's sat next to you. You should deffo talk to him. Say nice things about me, please."

I laughed at her before rolling my eyes. "Il see what I can do." I playfully winked at her as she beamed back at me. Then, she put on a pair of headphones and gently shut her eyes.

I turned around to Harry, to find that he'd also got his AirPods in, and he seemed to be watching something to do with planes.

Curiously, I took out one of his AirPods, so he could hear me. "What are you watching?" I said, slightly raising an eyebrow at him.

"Plane crash documentaries, I like to watch them during flights. They make me feel more relaxed."

Was this guy being serious? Plane crashes make him feel more relaxed?

"You're insane. Let me watch." I said, gently putting his AirPod into my ear so I could hear the commentary of the documentary.

"I know." Harry smugly looked at me, before placing the phone in between our seats, so we could both see the phone.
