Little Mixed Directions

Chapter Nine: Herrie in India

{Harry's POV}

"It's the eighth of April Harry! There's only sixteen days until Jesy and Jordan get married!" Perrie smiles as she lies on the floor in front of me with Ellie placing blocks on her stomach. I chuckle and Perrie sits up and hands all the blocks back to Ellie.

Everyone else went out but Ellie was asleep so Perrie stayed and I'm kind of trying to avoid Dan so I decided to stay and keep Perrie company, but Ellie woke up three minutes after they all, including Paul left, neither of us have bus licences so we're stuck on this bus.

"Want to go out for a walk?" Perrie asks me. We're in India at the moment and the others went on a three hour drive from here in New Delhi to the Taj Mahal because we go to Indonesia tomorrow and they 'really needed to see it' in their words not mine.

"Yeah!" I smile at Perrie. I really don't want to spend this long in a bus. Perrie gets Ellie ready and I grab the pram before we head out of the bus, locking it on our way out. I strap Ellie into the pram so she's facing forwards and we head out into the warm, bustling streets.

In certain places there's lots of people, in others there's not. We come to a market place and decide to go in. There's Indian music playing, people selling food, clothes, accessories and other different bits and pieces.

"Come over here Perrie." I grab her left hand, that no longer has a cast on it, and pull her over to a stall. They're selling wooden pendant necklaces. We look at them all and I pick out one with a swirl on it. Perrie picks up one with a bronze chain and a flower shaped pendant.

We purchase them and then move along to an open space. "Want me to put it on?" I ask Perrie. She nods and turns around, pulling her hair back. I put the necklace around her neck and clip it up.

"Thanks." Perrie smiles and then puts mine on me. We continue on and come across a stall with plush toys. I purchase a felt elephant for Ellie and sit it in the pram next to Duckie. We've decided to call the duck Zayn bought Duckie. Spelt like that because Ellie's name ends in 'ie' too.

We come across a group of people Indian dancing. Tourists and locals dancing around, men in coats and women with head jewels on. A local comes over and grabs me, dragging me into the group. I keep holding Ellie firmly on my hip.

The local places a coat on me and a little jewel head piece on Ellie and we dance around with them. Ellie is giggling and squealing with delight and I watch Perrie laughing and filming us on her phone. People are clapping and cheering and I'm having the time of my life! So much better than the tour bus.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That was so much fun!" I exclaim as Perrie and I walk into Nando's. Yeah there's Nando's in India! We could go and get curry but you know...

We order our food and go and sit at a bench that's up against the window so we can see outside. Perrie holds Ellie in her lap as she eats her food. Ellie chews on a chip, making it all wet because she can't really bite it. Ellie has two front teeth and she's so adorable!

We sit there chatting about all sorts of different things until there's knocking on the window in front of me. I look up and there's a girl smiling and waving at me. Wait! I know that girl!

She comes inside and I jump up and hug her. "Zoë! It's been so long!" I hug the girl I went to primary school with and lived next door to for years.

"I know Hazz!" She pulls off me. I've missed Zoë. We used to have great times together, at school when we were little, after school when we were older. I haven't seen her since X- Factor. I offer her the seat on the other side of me and we sit down.

"So what brings you to India?" Zoë asks me.

"Tour." I reply. "How about you?" I ask her. "Is India part of your world travel plan?" I ask her. Zoë and I used to always discuss how she wanted to travel the world once she became a Doctor at university.

"It sure is!" Zoë smiles. "And hey, congrats on everything you've achieved. It's truly amazing Hazz." She hugs me. "Never really imagined it'd actually come true. You a singer me a doctor." She says amazed. I nod and look at her brown eyes and auburn coloured hair. She really is quite beautiful, always has been.

"Um Harry, there's a baby eating your food." Zoë says to me. Oh shit! Perrie and Ellie! I spin around and Perrie is smirking at me as she feeds Ellie my chips.

"Excuse me, I was going to eat them." I say to Perrie as I watch Ellie trying to eat a chip. "She has only got two teeth." I remind Perrie. 

"Do you want me to regurgutate it into her mouth like a bird?" Perrie asks me in reply. I roll my eyes and Perrie just shrugs. 

"Okay. Just make sure she doesn't choke please." I look at Ellie. Perrie nods and kisses Ellie's head.

"You sound like her Dad." Zoë tells me. Perrie laughs a little and I sigh. "Hi! I'm Zoë Everton." Zoë smiles at Perrie. 

"Perrie." Perrie replies to Zoë. "And this is Ellie." She introduces the smiling baby. I tickle Ellie and she giggles and squeals. I swear this baby is always smiling, giggling or squealing. She has such an adorable giggle but then she full on laughs and sounds awkward, a bit like Perrie does but then again most people sound stupid when they laugh.

{Perrie's POV}

After watching Harry flirting with Zoë for half an hour and getting her number she leaves and Harry turns back around to face me. I just smirk at him.

"Yes Perrie?" He asks sighing.

"Oh nothing Harold!" I place my hand on his shoulder. "Nothing at all." I start to laugh and end up cracking up as he sits there with his arms crossed. 

"Ready to go Perrie?" He asks. I nod and he stands up.

"Harry," I stand up and Harry takes Ellie, strapping her into the pram. "Harry look at me." I instruct. He looks into my eyes, his green ones meeting my blue ones. "Sorry, thank you for a great day so far." I hug him and then kiss his cheek.

He smiles and takes the pram. "Coming Pezz?" He asks heading out. I run after him and we head back to the tour bus.

When we get to where the bus is parked there's some Directioners. They're cheering out to Harry but he keeps walking. I turn and face them. "One sec." I smile and then run up to Harry. "Let's go backwards love." I smile and push the pram backwards, forcing Harry to move back to the girls.

He signs all their papers and one girl steps forwards. "I learnt English. I say something to Harry?" She asks him.

"Go ahead." He nods and smiles. The girl holds out a decorative plastic sweet bag with chocolate coated something inside it. 

"They chocolate coated penis." She says, obviously not saying the right words. I try not to laugh and Harry thanks her before the girls run off. I crack up and bend over from laughing so hard. Harry is also laughing his head off. 

They were such beautiful girls but that was just too funny! Here Harry, have some chocolate coated penius. We're so mean. I whack Harry and he gives me a look before we head into the bus, still laughing so hard our stomachs are aching. 

The others are already back and we head straight into the lounge.

"Where have you been?" Leigh asks. I fall onto the ground laughing and Harry leaves the pram and squats down laughing his head off. My stomach is really starting to hurt. I take a few deep breaths and compose myself, sitting up. Harry does the same and our friends and Dan are looking at us weirdly.

"What happened?" Niall asks us. If we tell him that we will be in fits of laughter again. "Actually, don't tell me." He adds. We agree that thats a good idea and both sit on the couches with the others. Asha and Ella play on the ground together whilst us adults chat.

"Whose hungry?" Louis asks. Most of our hands shoot up and Louis goes to the pantry. He comes back over with a bowl of mini chocolates.

"What are they?" Niall asks pointing at the little chocolate drops. 

"Chocolate covered peanuts." Louis replies and after one glance at Harry we are both losing it again. Oh my goodness what a day!
