If I Could Fly // h.s.

Chapter 9

A/N

Hey guys!! Okay so I know I've been sort of on a hiatus of my own lately but I think I've finally got my groove back! I'm going to try to get back to updating regularly both on here and my other book. Hope you enjoy!! xx Jess

I wake to a soft snore beside me and cold toes pressed between my calves. I slowly roll over to face the culprit. A grin creeps across my face when I see my sleeping best friend curled up beside me. I still can't believe that she's actually here... in London... with me... and my new family. Taking advantage of my last few moments of silence, I reach to my bedside table and grab my mobile. It's already 9:00! We must have slept right through breakfast already. Uncle Richard will have already left for work. We will have to hurry downstairs to catch Aunt Jane before she heads off to whatever meetings or errands she has going on today.

I notice that I already have a text message from Harry.

Good morning :) I hope you and Nichole slept well. I'm sure you two must have been exhausted after all the gossiping and pillow fights ;) xx Harry

I giggled as quietly as possible before hurriedly replying.

Good morning :) Is that really what you think happens when two grown women spend the night together? Pillow fights? xx Amelia

I press send and wait impatiently for his reply, hoping that he's still near to his phone. My phone dings almost immediately.

Well it wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me to tell you what I really imagined going on during your sleepover;) xx Harry

I feel a blush rise to my cheeks. He's getting brave, isn't he. Well two can play at that game.

Well then, I can neither conform nor deny your wildest imaginings. ;) Now, if you're done being a perv...What are you up to today? xx Amelia

That actually depends on you and Nichole. Do you guys fancy an outing in London, or would you rather stay close to home today? xx Harry

Are you not tired of me yet?! Sleeping Beauty is still snoring beside me. I guess I should talk to her and see how she's feeling. I also need to find out what Aunt Jane is doing today. She's having the best time fussing over me AND Nichole now. xx Amelia

I'm not even remotely tired of you yet.But don't worry... I'll let you know when you start to bug me ;) Let me know about later after you chat with Nichole and your aunt? xx Harry

WHEN I start to bug you, huh, Styles? I'll remember that :) I will definitely let you know. Text later. xx Amelia

;) I can't wait. xx Harry

I look over to find Nichole already awake and grinning at me over the covers.

"I'm in England," she groggily whispers.

"I'm well aware," I lean down closer to her and whisper, "I am, too"." I wink before she sits up and props her head on my shoulder.

"So... what fabulous things do you have in store for me today?"

"Umm.. Well we've missed breakfast.We need to try to catch Aunt Jane before she leaves. She loves having us here," I smile.

"She's absolutely wonderful, Mel. I'm so glad things are going so well," she says sincerely before stretching her arms above her head.

"Harry texted earlier asking what we had planned today," I cough, clearing my throat, "He offered to take us into London. I told him I wasn't sure what you would feel like doing today. We can totally make it just me and you or even have him come here if you'd rather."
