Summer to Remember

Chapter Forty

I promised myself that I wasn't going to sleep on the way back to my uncle's house, I needed to make sure Harry was focused on the road since it was late out. The first five minutes of the ride, Delilah fell asleep considering the fact she was tired from all the jetlag. It didn't take long for Zayn to fall asleep either, I turned around to look at them and I realized that Delilah's head was resting on Zayn's shoulder, they were both in deep sleep. "Awww' I said to myself quietly. "They've both fallen asleep" I informed Harry and he gave a quiet chuckle looking over at me and interlocking my fingers with his. "Hands on the steering wheel" I warned him and he quickly let go and did as I told.

"Yes m'lady" he joked and I stuck my tongue out at him. 

We stopped at a gas station once to buy a couple water bottles for the long trip back. We made sure Louis and the other's were fine and we continued on our way. As we got closer I leaned against the window and admired the view of London. "We still have a whole summer ahead of us" Harry said and I turned around grinning happily. "I'll take you all around London love" he assured me and I leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek, he flashed a cheeky smile in my direction which caused me to melt a little on the inside.

"Harry what are we going to do about the beach house?" I questioned.

"I'll call Paul and ask tomorrow" he assured me and I instantly felt relieved. As we continued to drive, I recognized the scenery and I knew we were heading towards my uncle's house. We approached the gate and Harry punched in a couple digits and it automatically opened for us. I remembered the first time I had arrived at the house, completely disgusted by the fact that I would be living with One Direction. Look at me now, I'm dating Harry Styles, never would I have thought this would ever happen. I looked at the rear view mirror and Louis was driving right behind us, he wasn't a slow driver today surprisingly. Harry and Louis parked their cars in the garage and everybody got up to take their luggage's inside, I didn't want to disrupt Zayn and Delilah's sleeping but I had to. 

"Delilah, hun, wake up" I said as I shook her gently. 

"Zayn, lad, wake up" Niall said but Zayn was fast asleep. 

"Zayn!" Niall said before slapping his face slightly. 

Both Delilah and Zayn woke up to Niall's loud voice, they were still in the same position as they looked up at us. Delilah quickly realized she was resting her head on Zayn's shoulder so she quickly got up and I could tell she was trying not to blush. Looking over at Zayn I saw him slightly smile. Flirting on the first day, how cute! We all grabbed our bags and walked inside, the place looked absolutely stunning, I had forgotten how massive this house was.

"I'm off to bed guys, goodnight!" Louis said as he rushed up the stairs with Liam and Zayn following from behind. 

"I should go home..." Rebecca said but I quickly interrupted her saying "No sleep here tonight, there's no rush", I didn't want her to leave just yet.

"Yeah, stay here babe" Niall said as he put his arm around her waist.

"You guys got an extra room?" she asked and Harry informed her that we had plenty of rooms in the house.

Delilah was going to sleep in my room, I was ecstatic to be able to share a room with her, reminded me of the days when we went to camp together and shared a room. We didn't keep talking for long, everybody made their way up the stairs and into their rooms. I stood there at the bottom of the stairs looking into Harry's tired but mesmerizing green eyes, "I love you" I said as I leaned in and placed my lips onto his. 

"I love you Els, goodnight" he said as we walked up the stairs and entered our rooms.

Today was such a crazy day but it was another memory to add to my unforgettable start of a summer.
