Finding Yourself

chapter 66

The past 2 weeks went by quicker than I could ever imagine and waking up on our last day in America was pretty sad to say the least. We ate pancakes for breakfast and they were, as always, delicious. Not as good as Harrys or Annes but they were very good. After breakfast Harry drove us to a shopping mall and we spent the next few hours buying shit we didn't really need but would just remind us of our time here. We also went into a photo booth and me and Harry posed for the little strip of pictures that we would be rewarded with. The pictures were really nice actually and I put them in the little clear section in my purse so I'd have them with me all the time. My favourite one was a picture of us both laughing. I was sitting sideways on Harrys lap and he was tickling my sides. We were looking at eachother with huge grins and glowing eyes. It was perfect and it represented us both pretty well.

When we returned to our villa for the last time we got into the pool and drank the last of our champagne. I don't think I've ever drank as much champagne as what I have done in the last few weeks. I really didn't want to go back to England. I liked it here in our villa with our huge bed, bottomless champagne bottles and swimming pool. I also liked the fact it's just us doing what we like when we like. All good things come to an end though don't they? Unfortunately.

"We'll come back here." Harry said sipping his champagne and flicking his finger in the water.

"Harry, we both know we'll never be able to afford this." I scoffed.

"I can. Remember I'm getting paid to just go into a building once a month and check everything is okay." He smirked. "We obviously won't come back in a few months but we will come back. Together. I promise." He kissed my head and drank the last of his drink.

"Don't promise me that Harry. Hannah promised she'd be here with me and look where that got her." I sighed.

"I'm sorry." He frowned.

He pulled me closer to his chest and held me tight.

"How about I say we will come back and I'll make sure of it? I'm technically not promising it."

I laughed slightly and placed my lips on his. "Okay."

The airport was buzzing with people rushing everywhere and anywhere. I couldn't help but be jealous of all the people going on holiday instead of heading back home. Me and Harry went through the whole bag check in thing which again, took ages and then we went through security. I had nothing on me that I shouldn't have yet I still sighed with relief when the buzzers didn't go off. Just like on the way here, Harry looked like he wanted to kill the security guard who was searching me. Tapping his foot on the ground with his fist in balls by his side. I laughed at him and he was okay again when I kissed his pouty face and held his hand.

We got to the gate early again but only by 30 minutes where Harry played on my iPod, still adamant to beat my high score on candy crush.

"Thanks for bringing me on holiday with you Melanie." He smiled, locking my iPod.

"Who else would I want to spend 2 weeks in America with? Aside from Hannah of course." I grinned.

He shrugged and laughed. "It's been amazing though hasn't it?"

I nodded. "I loved it, every single minute of it."

"Good, that's what I wanted." He brushed my face with his hand and planted a small kiss on my cheek.

The loud voice over the tannoy sounded telling us to board the plane and we headed towards the stewardess. I couldn't help but laugh at how many people we had to show our boarding passes and passports to before we got on the plane because I knew how much it annoyed Harry. He rolled his eyes at every stewardess we approached and I giggled everytime.

Harry managed to make me agree to him having the window seat this time and as we sat in our seats, knowing the next stop was England, I couldn't help but frown.

"Melanieeee, Love Actually isn't on this flight." Harry whined.

"Good." I laughed. "You'll be brainwashed soon!"

He shrugged off my comment and rested his hand on my thigh. We sat through the air hostesses presentation about seatbelts and oxygen masks and finally the engines roared and we were heading for the clouds. We chewed gum so our ears wouldn't pop which seemed to work even though the gum was like chewing a chili, I'll never understand why Harry likes his gum so hot!

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah." I grinned. "I'd just rather still be in our pool."

"Me too baby, me too."

We finally landed in England at 5am the next morning. We collected our suit cases and made our way back to Harrys car that had been parked here for 2 weeks. I don't know what I though could of happened to it but I was still glad to see it was where we left it. We loaded the bags into the boot and climbed in. It felt weird being on opposite sides now after Harry had been driving on the left in America.

It didn't take very long at all to get back home, probably because not many people are driving around at 5am! As soon as we got back to my house we dumped all the bags in the living room and went straight to bed. I can't lie, it felt good to lay in my bed again and me and Harry were both out like a light.

--

I woke up the next day at 2pm, jet-lag is shit. Harry was lying next to me but he was already awake.

"Morning." I smiled, stretching out my body.

"Hey." He laughed.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Not long, maybe 20 minutes. I didn't wanna get up and wake you."

He put his arm around me and pulled me into his chest. "Feels good to be back in England huh?"

"Yeah great." I scoffed.

He laughed and kissed my forehead before climbing out from the bed covers.

We had a shower and spent most of the day unpacking and washing and sorting everything out before we went over to Harrys and did the same at his house.

"You're back!" Louis beamed at us both as we walked in. "And much darker!" He laughed.

He pulled me into a tight hug and Niall and Liam did the same.

"How was America?!"

"Louis, it was incredible. Our villa was literally huge, we had our own pool, you should of seen it!" I couldn't control my smile as I told them about it.

"And the bed was huge." Harry smirked.

Liam nudged his arm and laughed. "I love how that's the only thing you mention."

"What can I say?" Harry winked at him.

We got each of the boys a basketball jersey from America and loads of American candy which they all loved. I also got one for Zayn too but I don't know when I'd be seeing him. I missed him so much.

"Who's up for pizza?!" Niall announced. "Now we're all reunited I feel it's time to celebrate!"

We all agreed and he didn't hesitate to order. As much as I wish me and Harry were back in our swimming pool under the sun sipping champagne, seeing the boys again kinda made me happy to home. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't missed them!

Niall pulled me into his chest when he hung up the phone and kissed my head. "It's good to have you back lass."
