Cait's POV.

"Come on, we're going bowling."

I look up from my book. "What?"

"You heard me," Louis says throwing some jeans at me. "We're going bowling."

"Aren't we driving to São Paulo?" I frown sitting up in my bunk.

"Yeah.. but it's our day off so we've asked to stop so we can do something."

I nod placing my bookmark in my book and pulling my jeans on. I straighten my top and redo my bun.

"I'm not that good at bowling." I sigh walking through the bowling alley doors. "But I do love it." I grin.

Harry's POV.

I threw my arm around Cait's shoulders as we walked to our alley. "I don't mean to warn you but, I am the king of bowling."

"It's good I'm the queen then isn't it?" Cait quirks her eyebrow.

I laugh at her comeback. A few months ago she wouldn't have said 5 words to me, I like how comfortable she's becoming with me. It reminded me when I took Maria for a date to bowling and she was so uninterested and bored with bowling. Cait's her polar opposite.

"Every king needs a queen," I wink following her to our allotted seats.

Cait's POV.

"Get in Cait!" Louis shouted as I scored my first strike. We were 25 minutes into the game but that's not the point..

I turned around throwing my arms up doing a random dance that I should probably regret doing but I don't as I've just striked!

Louis lifts me up cheering me on, I laugh as he puts me down.

"I've never scored a strike before." I sit down beside Niall and sip my coke he'd kindly bought me.

Niall and I sat talking as the others talked and bowled.

"Do you think if I leaned in like this and talked quietly I could make harry even more jealous?" Niall smirked leaning near my ear.

We'd been talking and laughing for a good 20 minutes, I'd noticed Harry had been looking our way, he was on the opposing team, it was Harry, Liam and Zayn on team 'BOYYS' and me, Niall and Louis on team 'CNL' which we thought was original.

"Jealous?" I frown.

"He's been looking over as much as he can wanting your attention."

"I don't think he has." I scoff sipping my drink again.

"He text me because I bought you a drink."

I raise an eyebrow. "Saying what?"

He shakes his head. "He just didn't want me to buy you a drink."

I frown. "It was just a coke."

We took a break half way through and decided to get some food from the counter.

"What would miss like?" Harry asks standing next to me in the line.

"I'm okay, I'll get my own food."

"Nu-uh. What do you want Cait?"

I roll my eyes. "I'll get my own Harry."

Once we get to the counter I order a hot dog and fries with cheese and a coke. Harry however pushes my hand out of the way and pays for my food. I glare at him but he only grins with his ridiculous dimples.

When we all sit down immediately I begin to feel the panic rise, I slowly lift some fries to my lips and casually chew them hoping no one is watching, I continue until I finish my fries and pick at my hot dog.

"So, you've been here two weeks.." Harry starts.

I smile. "I have."

"What are you thinking?"

I swallow.

"Are you going home, or staying?"

I look around. "I'm.. going to stay. I mean you guys are going home soon for a break, why go home now?"

He looks almost disappointed. "Yeah. I guess."

I frown as he eats silently.

Was it something I said?

We finish bowling, harry's team winning by 11 points.

"We won fair and square, don't be bitter." Liam laughs as we walk back onto the tour bus.

We all sort of collapse in the chill out area, Niall bringing out his guitar and playing quietly.

I take out my phone, opening instagram.

caittommo: Chill time.💤🎸

The photo is of the boys all laying on the sofas, Niall playing the guitar, harry talking with zayn, Liam watching tv and Louis on his phone.

Instantly the photo gets likes, girls overreacting because all 5 were in the photo.

I scroll through Instagram, I find a photo harry had posted earlier.

harrystyles: bowl-stagram.🎳

It was a photo of me, Niall and Louis talking about something or other, you could see my face blatantly, he hadn't used a filter to hide it. I was smiling at Louis as Niall laughed about something, I liked how natural and comfortable we looked.

I liked it and scrolled on.

It was a photo Lottie posted that dampened my mood completely.

lottietommo: Wedding planners!👰

It was a selfie of her with Eleanor and my mum.

I rolled my eyes. I should be there. I should have been invited. I was her oldest daughter and she's forgotten all about me.

I looked up at the boys and thought to myself, is it too late to change my mind and go home?

A/N:

Uh oh.

Is she going to go home?

I have decided to keep the story. I'm going to put up 5 chapters, if they get the votes/reads whatever I'll keep it permanently. If not, I'll look whether to keep it still :)
