Serendipitous: Harry's Story

Foreign Affairs

Foreign Affairs?

One Direction, the latest international sensations and heart throbs. However we’re sorry ladies but it seems that these boys have all been having more than just concerts while overseas if these pics are anything to go by.

Hey Harry who’s that brunette you’re hiding from us?

Louis, have you gone from brunette to the exotic? Fans have all been whispering since Chicago when you brought that girl to the signing? Is she for real or just a rebound from Eleanor?

Not to mention Niall, we see that smile of yours cutie, but whose the girl with you at International House of Pancakes?

Til then, this is Miss Freddie from Brit Pop magazine bringing you your latest news on all your favorite British celebs!

Even though it was almost midnight, as soon as Harry saw that Hope was online, he’d hit the button to skype her. To his shock though, it wasn’t Hope whose face he saw but Lacey’s.

“Lacey?”

“Hey Harry,” Lacey said as she held Landon in her lap.

“Where’s Hope?” He asked as he waved at Landon, who stared at him, a pacifier in his mouth.

Lacey took Landon’s hand to wave back at Harry. “Well Hope’s actually at Cornell with Mark today and tomorrow for their four year anniversary, I’m on her computer internet shopping for Christmas so Ian won’t see what I’m looking at for him.”

Harry’s face fell at hearing that Hope was with Mark. He gulped, four years… well fudge, he couldn’t help but think, having picked up Hope’s habit of saying fudge in front of the kids.

“How are you Harry?” Lacey asked, bouncing Landon and trying to keep him from touching any buttons on the laptop. Instead the babe reached out his hand to touch the screen, reaching for Harry’s curls.

Harry laughed lightly at the boy, before answering Lacey. “I’m good Lacey.”

Lacey smiled at him. “Hope and Belle are utterly excited for your concert in a few days.”

“I wished you would’ve let me-”

“No Harry, Ian and I can afford to buy Hope and Belle the tickets; you already are providing them with VIP backstage passes.” Lacey shook her head at him. “Which Belle has been bragging to all her friends, I swear if she could take you to show and tell, she would.”

Harry laughed. “But I’d be ditched for Niall the minute she saw him.”

“Well,” Lacey said. “Yes as would all of us, except maybe Ian, she’s a daddy’s little girl of there ever was any.”

Harry grinned, fixing his curls. “Anyway tell Hope I said hi, I guess I’ll head to bed now.”

Lacey smiled at him. “Night Harry, say night to Harry, baby,” She told Landon.

Landon looked up from his playing with Lacey’s hair, having given up at getting to Harry’s. At Lacey pointing to Harry, Landon blinked at Harry before gurgling and making baby noises.

Harry laughed once more before saying goodnight to the two.

As they landed at JFK, Harry couldn’t help but look around to see if Hope was anywhere to be seen. To his utter disappointment, she wasn’t. Not that he could blame him, she was after all supposed to be in class anyway. But after the past two trips and being spoiled with seeing Hope and a ridiculous sign to greet him, he couldn’t help but hope…
