{i can't believe I'm at 66k. Holy crap when did that happen? I only got 3 comments last chapter. Cmon guys. Help a sister out. Love you and enjoy. x}

Harry POV:

After lunch, my family and I hung around and in the pool for a couple hours just enjoying each other's company. Louis, his sister, and his Mum arrived around 3:00. Johanna and Lottie both kissed my cheeks in greeting.

"How are ya, love?" Johanna smiled down at me after I sat down.

"Better than I deserve. Where are the babies?" I ask, slightly disappointed that they were not here.

"They're back home. I didn't want to bring them on the flight all by myself." She looks up from and me and begins to talk to both Louis and me. "So boys, how was the Tour kick-off party?"

My eyes immediately dart to Louis. That's the night everything with Eleanor went down. Louis was clearly at a loss for words.

I look back up to Johanna. "It was lovely. Typical business party. Lots of work, little play."
Louis nodded his head in agreement. Johanna leaned down to kiss the top of Louis's head and walked back into the house. I turned to my friend.

"You haven't told her?"

"No, but she knows. Lottie's got quite a mouth on her." He spoke quietly.

"Have you heard from her?"

"No."

"M'sorry mate."

"Forget about it. I know I will." With that Louis stood up and walked away like he hadn't just told the biggest lie to ever escape his mouth.

My phone buzzed and it was a text from Hayley.

-Niall invited me up to the house. I don't want to intrude.

Of course I wanted her up here.

Please come.

I don't want to take away from your family time.

Hayley. Come. x.

Fine.

I smiled down at my phone and then popped up to go tell my mum about our special guest.

I found my mother in the living room talking to Louis and Johanna. I plopped down next to my mum and put my arm around her.

"Hayley's drivin' up with Niall." I say casually.

"Oh! That's great!" She turned away from me to talk to Johanna. "Hayley is Harry's girlfriend! A real one!"

I just laughed and shook my head. Anything to avoid the devilish smirk from Louis's face.

"Harry, that's wonderful! Have you met her, Louis?"

All eyes were focused on Louis. I was praying he would help a bloke out.

"She's a lovely girl, yeah. Very american, gets along with us all well, attractive-"

"Watch it." My face says I'm joking; my voice does not.

Louis just laughed and turned back to our mothers who wouldn't stop smiling. There was always a huge fascination whenever I got a girlfriend. A legitimate one.

"She's great. You'll like her." He does his little smile signaling he's done and the women turn back to me.

"Well I for one, can't wait to meet the girl. I'm very happy for you Harry." Johanna smiled at me and reached over to grab my knee. I patted her hand in gratitude and smiled back.
