"Baby..." I hear him whisper. "Wake up, sleepyhead. We're leaving today."
I groan out of tiredness and attempt to sit up when I feel something - or someONE on top of me. I open my eyes as I see Harry lying on my chest. I smile, but my brows also knit together in confusion. "Haz?" I whisper. He stretches before sitting up.
"Yeah, baby?" His voice was that morning rasp again, and I'm pretty sure I died on the spot for a second and had a stroke.
"You woke me up and then you were trying to fall back asleep? Slightly hypocritical of you."
I hear him chuckle.
"Sorry, beautiful. You're just so comfortable to sleep on."
I ruffle his hair. "What time's our flight?"
"5. So we'll arrive at the airport around 3:50. I know you're gonna want to go around duty free and watch some planes take off before we leave."
"You know me too well."

"Hi, how are you?" Harry says to the taxi man. He's always so polite, which was another thing I adored about him.
"Fine." The taxi man barked, making me jump slightly. Harry notices this and grips my hand gently.
"Do you have to be so rude? All I did was ask how you are." Harry says, his eyes narrowing.
"And I don't need you wandering in on my personal business." The taximan replies, death staring harry through the rear view mirror.
"Asshole." I mutter, eliciting a laugh from harry. He brushes his thumb over my thigh, caressing my inner thigh gently. I take deep breaths to try and calm my pounding heart, but nothing worked.
"I love the effect I have on you, darling." He whispered against my neck, his hand getting teasingly close to where I wanted it to be.
"Harry..." I whisper back.
"Mm?" He kisses the side of my head as I lean my head on him.
"If we start this now we're gonna have pent up tension the entire thirteen hour flight."
"Sensible, you are. Although... since the flight is first class we'd probably get away with a few things." He smirks at me as my jaw drops.
"You booked... a FIRST CLASS flight?!" I whisper in confusion and shock.
"The very best for my girl." He says proudly.
"You two lovebirds, shut your mouths." The taxi man says coldly.
"Leave my girl alone, you lonely sod." Harry spits. I almost laugh at how cold Harry's being as that is genuinely not him. Harry notices and smirks, kissing my neck.
"I know you said about the tension, who cares baby? That just makes it more passionate when we get to the real thing tonight." He whispers.
"You have a point." I whisper back.
We sit in silence for a while, and as I see the "DUBLIN AIRPORT: 1 1/2 MILES" sign, I say to Harry.
"Baby?"
"Yeah, love?"
"Who's Niall?"
Harry smiles. "My best friend. We've been friends since we were eight. We'll live close to him, if that's okay?"
"Obviously, he seems like a nice guy. We'd have to be quiet though." I smirk.
"Yeah, we would. There's also Louis who I've been friends with since we were ten, Liam who I've been friends with since we were eleven and Zayn who I've been friends with since we were fourteen."
"Oh, they sound nice." I say, a hint of sadness in my voice.
"You sound sad, what's wrong?" Harry immediately picked up on it.
"Well... you've met all these people meanwhile I know nobody."
"If it makes you feel any better, they all have girlfriends."
"Oh? What're their names?"
"Louis' is Lily, Niall's is Caitlyn, Liam and Zayn are dating though."
"Oh, wow. Wait. Lily...?"
"Lily Tomlinson, they're married."
"And im guessing Caitlyn Horan?"
"Yeah. And Zayn and Liam Malik. Imagine you... Felicity Styles."
"Aw. Felicity Styles..." I whisper.
"Sounds perfect." He whispers and i nod in agreement.
"What's going on with housing?" I whisper.
"There's four huts i think. Liam and Zayn, Caitlyn and Niall, Louis and Lily and me and you."
"Oh okay."
He nods, both of us were definitely too tired to converse.

"We're 'ere." The taxi man says, snapping both me and Harry out of our fantasies.
"Thank you very much, although I don't appreciate you being rude to us." Harry says.
"Thanks." I say, nodding with appreciation at both the taxi man and harry.
