Back With A Vengeance

Chapter 4

We had all looked round the third property and Louis thankfully loved everything about it like I knew he would, he signed the papers and we was ready to move in in the space of 2 weeks, I was so belated and happy it had all been sorted. We had found the right house. I was sat in Harry's car as he was dropping us back off at the cafe, or so I thought he was before he took a different turning on the road. I looked back and frowned. ''Um, Harry, you just missed the turning for the cafe?'' I commented as I stared at him. Harry shrugged whilst smirking. ''Thought I'd do a little short cut.'' He replied as he drove along, I sat back in my seat confused, knowing he was up to something.

I glanced at the rear view mirror to see Louis was still following us. Thank god, I actually thought he was kidnapping me for a moment. I smirked to myself then looked at Harry. ''Want to tell me where you are actually taking me? It isn't a short cut is it?'' I implied then all of a sudden, he parked up and we was in a driveway, his driveway I suspected. The house was huge, looking lke it had at least 5 bedrooms with a balcony on each one, I was gobsmacked at the size of it and then it sunk in where I actually was. Shit, why has he taken me to his house? Will Grace be inside? At least Louis is with me.

I looked at Harry and laughed slightly. ''How nice of you bringing me back to your house.'' I rolled my eyes and sighed. Harry just laughed and nudged me. ''Heyyyy, I thought it would be nice for you and Grace to reunite.'' He turned off the engine and smiled. ''Come on in!'' He gleamed as he hopped out of his car. Thanks a bunch Harry. Just bring me back to your house to see someone I haven't spoken to in years who is also in a relationship with you. How awkward is this going to be? Ugh.

I got out of his car and looked for Lous straight away, he came up behind me and grabbed me by waist. ''How exciting eh? I love reuinions!'' Louis looked delighted at the fact I was going to be seeing Grace, I felt differently.  If Harry wasn't involved I'd be excited to see her but I am just nervous. Louis had been in touch with her more than I had but it was brief.

Harry opened the door and let us all come inside then shut the door behind us. I caught myself gawping at the huge hallway, it was all cosy and felt like a proper home. ''Grace?'' Harry shouted. ''I'm here, brung Francesca and Louis?'' I'm not surprised he had to shout for her, it was that big you needed to.

''Alright darling hang on!'' I heard Grace's voice come from upstairs and I looked up to see her coming downstairs wearing a silk dressing gown and her hair in curlers. She looked exactly like I had remembered; dark blonde hair, bluey grey eyes and that same old smile but just a lot more posher. ''Well,'' She stood on the stairs with her hands on her hips. ''If it isn't Francesca Keegan?!'' she smiled brightly and then pulled me into the tightest hug I had ever felt. ''How long has it been since we last saw each other?!'' she gawped at me and hugged me again. I held onto her for ages, it felt so good being back in her presence. ''God I don't know, 2 years or something?!'' I grinned and then looked at her, she pulled me into the kitchen. ''A massive girly catch up is needed.'' She waved back at Harry and I looked back at him and smiled shyly, Harry was stood there with his hands tucked into his coat pockets and nodded at me then motioned Louis into living room for a drink.

''Frankie, I don't know where to start babe.'' Grace began to apoligise and I waved my hands infront of me. ''Do not apoligise okay? It was both of our faults tat we lost touc, neither of us kept in touch and got too busy,'' I sighed and took in her beautiful kitchen. ''Well, one got more busy than the other.'' I giggled then looked at her, her eyes were watching me then she opened the fridge and reached for the wine. ''Yeah,'' she sighed as she poured us both a glass. ''It has been pretty hectic though, first Harry then the business really took off and now we have this lovely house.'' she carried on then passed me my glass of wine, I sipped it then cleared my throat. ''Well I wouldn't complain, you have it all going for you. Couldn't be happier for you.'' I smiled then we clinked out glasses together.
