"Attention, flight 347. It is my greatest apologies to inform you that it seems the plane is having mechanical troubles, and another plane won't be coming in until Tuesday at approximately 10:00 AM. Once again, our apologies for the inconvenience."

LIV.
The airport employee's announcement rang through my head.
"...Another plane won't be coming till Tuesday..."
A hand grasped my shoulder and wrenched me around. "Liv. Did- did she just say that our flight is delayed?" Piper's brown eyes were wide and reflected my emotions at the very moment. Utter shock. Disbelief.
In a daze, I replied, "Uh... I think so?"
Her freckled face broke into a blinding smile. "That means we have two more days with the boys."
Piper's words took a few seconds to sink in. We have two more days with the boys. I would have two final days with Niall before officially leaving for the states. Except this time, things would be a little, well, different. Not necessarily a bad different, by all means. My stomach fluttered as I recalled how Niall had admitted he liked me. As in, like-liked me. My lips lifted into a smile as I remembered the way it had felt to kiss him.
"Let's go surprise them," I giggled in glee. "Imagine the looks on their faces when they see us."
Piper nodded enthusiastically, and we jumped to our feet, high tailing it out of the airport and towards the boys' flat.

I buzzed their flat's line from the intercom at the front entrance."Who is it?" a British male's voice asked, sounding very much like Liam.
I lowered my voice and spoke with a British accent. "Yes, flat 452? I have a delivery for a, uh, Mr. Horan, and let's see here, Mr. Tomlinson?" I purposefully mispronounced their names, hoping to throw Liam off.
Piper covered her mouth, stifling a giggle as she stood next to me.
"Uh, one second. Niall! Lou! Mates, did you order a package or something?"
I heard a muffled reply, and Liam sighed in answer. "Because someone says they have a delivery for you two."
There were a few beats of silence before Liam spoke again. "Okay, well, come on up."
The door buzzed open, and Piper and I attempted to stealthily enter the building. This proved to be diffucult as we lugged our heavy suitcases behind us. A few minutes later, the elevator had brought us to their floor. Putting a finger to my lips, I gestured to Piper to be quiet as possible.
"We're like ninjas," she whispered, kicking her foot up into the air in a ninja like motion. "Hee-yah!"
"Shhh," I hushed, trying to hold back a laugh.
I knocked on their door and lowered my voice once again. "Flat 452, your delivery is here."
"Coming!" A voice hollered.
