I woke up to a phone ringing again only this time it was Harry’s not mine, “Good morning babe” he says reaching over me to get his phone “Morning” I giggle back. “Hello?” I hear Harry say, my back to his chest nuzzling his head into my neck “I can do tonight, can I bring someone?” Harry says before removing the phone from his ear and covering the mouth piece “Beth do you want to come to my mum’s for dinner with me tonight?” Harry asks I freeze, I’m not sure I’m ready to meet Harry’s family yet, “Sure” I say digging my face back into the pillow. “Yeah we will come at about 6, see you then” “yeah love you too mum, bye” Harry says before hanging up and throwing his phone onto the bed behind him and wrapping both his arms around my waist again. We lay in silence for a few minutes before Harry speaks “Are you sure you are fine with going to my mum’s? I don’t want you to feel like you have to and it’s okay to say no…” He says trailing off, “No I want to its fine it’s not that big of a deal.” I say turning to face Harry, “What do you want to do today?” Harry asks “Can we just stay here all day?” I giggle nuzzling my face into the crook of Harry’s neck “I wish we could but if we don’t get up soon the boys will come in here” Harry laughs before kissing me on the cheek and getting out of the bed, I Pull the doona over my head refusing leave. I hear Harry start to walk towards the bathroom and the door closes, assuming he has gone to have a shower I fall back asleep.

“Why are you still in bed?” I hear someone say before the doona is ripped from me and the bed “AH what are you doing?” I squeal as the coldness hits me, I look up to see an amused Harry and bury my head back into the pillow. “I have a surprise for you today but you have to get up first” He says as he walks into his wardrobe to dress as he is only wearing a towel covering his lower half. I slowly bring myself to sit up “I hate surprises” I say before grabbing my dress and going to the bathroom to shower.

 I make my way downstairs to the kitchen where I find everyone chatting away and eating pancakes I take a seat next to Harry as he puts a pancake on a plate and places it in front of me still chatting to Louis, more like arguing actually. “Thanks” I laugh he nods acknowledgement as he continues bickering with Louis, Niall and Zayn are having their own conversation as is everyone else so I just sit and eat my pancake awkwardly until Louis finishes his argument with Harry and starts talking to me. “So Beth has Harold told where he is taking you today?” Louis asks taking a huge bite of his pancake, Harry chucks Louis a scowl and Louis just smirks “Nope, I wish he would I hate surprises” I say and suddenly Cam was listening “She really does, bad stuff always happens when she gets surprises. I bought her a puppy a surprise once and the next day Zac accidentally let it out and it never came back. Another time I threw her a surprise party and I copped drink to the face” everyone including me laugh at Cam’s story “I’ll be sure to make sure you have nothing to throw at me then” Harry smirks before taking our plates into the kitchen and comes back in seconds later “You ready? Cam and Liam are coming to” He says taking hold of my hand “Yeah can we stop by our place to get changed please?” I don’t really want to wear the same dress I had on yesterday, today as well “Sure but we can’t be there to long” Liam answers as we all make our way to the car.

 We are on our way to the ‘surprise’ the boys still won’t tell us where we are going, they are even making us where blind folds so we don’t have any idea. “We’re here” Harry says as he helps me out of the car and Liam helps Cam who is also blind folded like me. “Jump on my back so you don’t trip over” Harry says as I feel him grab the back of my legs “If you drop me I won’t be happy” I say as he lifts me off the ground “I won’t I swear” He laughs before he starts walking I can hear Liam trying to navigate Cam behind us all I can hear is Liam laughing and telling Cam to jump on his back as well. Harry suddenly stops, puts me down “Ready Liam?” he says as he takes the blind fold off “Oh my god” Cam and I both say when we see two huge hot air balloons in front of us. “Come on let’s go” Harry says grabbing my hand and leading me to the balloon “Harry I can’t” I say looking at the balloon “What? Why not?” he asks looking at me worriedly “I’m terrified of heights” I whisper “Don’t worry I’ll be next you the whole time, you can hold onto me as tight as you like” he tries to reassure me “Okay…” I say still not convinced, Cam and Liam are already up in the air waving to us as Harry helps me into the basket before getting in himself. I press my back to Harry’s front and wrap his arms around my waist, he laughs at me but doesn’t stop me. As we get higher my grip on Harry gets tighter, he kisses my head to try and relax me but I am so scared right now.

 Harry lifts me out of the basket as the balloon ride is now over and I couldn’t be more thankful to be on solid ground “Are you alright babe?” he asks worriedly “Yeah, I’m fine” I say gripping his hand and we start to walk over to the car to wait for Liam and Cam who have gone to pay. “Thank you Harry, despite being scared shitless it was lovely.” I smile and give him a soft kiss wrapping my arms around his neck, he reacts placing his hands on my hips and pulling me into him and deepening the kiss we were so caught up in each other we didn’t hear Liam and Cam walking over to us till Cam spoke “Ew get a room bloody hell” I quickly move back from Harry and he opens the door for me to get in.

 “Where am I dropping you two off?” Harry looks at Cam through the review mirror “we need to go home, we have work tomorrow” she replies, although she doesn’t realize Harry meant Liam, not me. “Actually Beth is coming to dinner with me” he says before turning to Liam “what about you Li?” “Back to the house please mate” He smiles at Harry before turning to Cam “Did you want to stay again tonight and I can drive you to work tomorrow?” Liam asks Cam “Okay can we stop by ours so I can get some clothes though?” “If you’re quick this time, we have to be at dinner at 6” I laugh at Harry’s response and Cam just huffs.

 We just left Harry’s from dropping Liam and Cam off and are now on our way to Harry’s mum’s house I am so nervous. “Don’t be nervous babe, it will be fine.” Harry responds like he could read my mind “I hope so” I say as I stare about the window and take in the beautiful scenery passing by.
