"Rita!" Ariana squealed and Rita did the same as they ran to each other and attacked each other in a huge hug. Most of their friends had come to see harry preform in London.
"Ari!" Rita grinned and pecked both of the girls cheeks.
"Oh god." Harry sighed once he caught sight of Rita. It's not that he didn't like Rita. That was absolutely not the case. But Rita was literally the devil's angel. That devil being Nicholas Grimshaw.
"Oi Oi harry lad?" The older girl teased with a smirk and wrapped her arm around Ariana's shoulders.
"I'm not talking to you-" he playfully shook his head with a laugh.
"Your girlfriend likes me, That May be a problem for you." Rita grinned and Harry rolled his eyes dramatically.
"I will never let you corrupt her." Harry growled playfully.
"It's only a matter of time Harold, only a matter of time." She chuckled and squeezed Ariana's shoulders.
"First of all, thats not my name. Second, Where is the devil himself hmm?"
"He's right here." Ah, Nicholas Grimshaw. The man who enjoys making harry feel miserable. He believes its all in good fun anyways, so wheres the harm in a little innocent teasing?
"So this is your lovely lady? Stunner she is." Nick grinned, giving Ariana a hug.
"Don't really know what you see in this wanker. Personally, I think he's a total knob head." Grimmy grinned and Ariana covered her mouth in a small laugh, knowing that he was only kidding.
"You two are horrible." Harry sneered playfully with a scowl. The mischievous pair chuckled in amusement. They were actually very lovely people, harry unfortunately, just fell victim of their antics.
"I was thinking of having you two on live lounge." Nick offered and Ariana nodded enthusiastically.
"It'll be fun H." Her soft voice mused in a pleading tone, and nick squeezed her shoulders in endearment.
"Yeah, we could have you two do a duet of one of each of your singles."
"Why the fuck not then?" Harry finally agreed and Ariana squealed happily and pecked his cheek.
"Thank you bubs. I've literally always wanted to do live lounge, but Nick and I always missed each other when I was in England." She pouted and looked up and nick who smiled sympathetically. Harry silently thanked god for that.
"Such a darling. I'm glad you like the show."
"Of course! It's one of the only genuine radio shows that don't ask a bunch of fucked up personal questions. And y'all are hilarious." The younger girl grinned.
"God, she really is America's sweetheart."
"She's England's sweetheart too. Besides the duchesses, of course. On behalf of Manchester, I can proudly say we've made her an honorary citizen." Harry smiled proudly at Ariana as he spoke. She blushed adorably and averted her gaze to the floor.
"Can't argue with you on that one. Ariana is definitely special." Rita agreed with a smile. Ariana, for the first time in a while, felt like she belonged with these people. Besides her small friend group that she's had for years, she never really fit in anywhere else. Taylor Swift (who she doesn't exactly talk to anymore), tried to introduce her to her girl squad but she didn't click or make friends with any of them except Hailee, Zendaya, and Lorde. She recently has been hanging out with Cara who Harry formally introduced her to.
Her and Selena got along... kinda. Not really. The only problem was that Selena was a bit competitive, and Ariana wasn't the fondest of her after her and Niall broke up on bad terms. Ariana really didn't appreciate how badly Selena treated Niall, or any of her ex boyfriends for that matter. Selena became slightly spiteful, or jealous towards Hailee, and Hailee was one of Ariana's best friends, so it was obvious that it didn't sit well with her.
A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and someone placed their head on her shoulder. Speaking of Hailee.
"Hi hails." Ariana giggled turning to the taller girl.
"Hi babes." Hailee grinned and nuzzled her face in Ariana's neck.
"Dammit Ariana, you're always stealing everyone from me." Niall cursed and Ariana laughed at his attempt to be mad. Niall was truly harmless. Or as he says it, "Im a lover, not a fighter.". No one believed otherwise.
"She's my girlfriend now ni! Sorry bubs."
"Fine then, I'm stealing harry." Niall smirked and grabbed Harry's arm. The younger man chuckled lowly and shook his head at the two.
"Fine. Steal him, see how much I care. Come on hails, let's go make out." Ariana grinned and Hailee shrugged, following Ariana towards the exit of the stage, only to come back 20 seconds later, dragging a very amused Liam Payne behind them.
"Look who we found!" Ariana grinned and hopped on Liam's back. He laughed and caught her, linking his arms around the middle of her legs so she wouldn't fall off.
"I love having ten children." Liam replied sarcastically, but it was good natured. Though, everything Liam did was good natured. Ariana grinned and batted her eyes to the ceiling, making it known that the slightly younger man was talking about her.
"I mean you kinda asked for it, but like go off I guess." Ariana shrugged and dramatically rolled her eyes.
"You know what harry, I like her." Rita smirked and harry sighed.
"That's not a good thing." The green eyed man replied and Rita cackled, slapping him on the shoulder.
"You'll love having us around. I promise."
"Oh I'm sure I will." Harry muttered sarcastically, looking at Ariana to save him.
"Sorry babes, I like em'. You're on your own." She shrugged and everyone except Harry laughed loudly, liam giving Ariana a high five.
"She's amazing." Liam laughed.
"Yeah, She is." Harry agreed with a gentle smile. Ariana pouted and squirmed against Liam's extremely strong grip. She was actually really impressed that he's held her on his back for so long without slipping.
"Bubba, you're so cute." Ariana cooed, running into Harry's arms once she got down.
"This is why I'm her favorite." Harry said in a whisper, smirking at niall, who couldn't even be mad. Ariana and harry were both happy. That's all that mattered to the Irishman.
"Okay but where the fuck is Louis?" Well shit.
