The Contract

13

"Wow. Austrailia sure is warm!" I commented when we had gotten out of the airport. Harry had insisted on us taking a flight separate from the rest of the boys and we had landed in Melbourne a day ahead of every one else.

"I don't understand why we couldn't just fly with everyone else?" I grumbled when I had to struggle with my luggage with myself. "We forfeited all of the perks of you being in a boy band by doing this, you know."

Harry rolled his eyes and pulled his suitcase along. It was nearly 3 in the morning in Melbourne but Harry had insisted it was so we could land without being mobbed.

"I'm tired!" I kicked my suitcase and it fell over on the curb and I glared at the massive thing that had been the bane of my existence for the last hour as we struggled to get through customs and everything else.

"You complain a lot," Harry commented as he walked over to pick up my suitcase. He set it next to his and pulled his phone out.

"Fuck," he cursed.

"What? Let me guess the car isn't coming?" I asked, sighing and sitting down on the ground next to my suitcase. The airport really was empty. I was surprised no one had come up to us asking if he was in Harry. Normally every where he went the got mobbed. Tonight was a different story.

"I don't have service. Do you?" He asked, sitting down on the ground next to me.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned on my roaming data before handing him my phone. "How much is this going to cost me?"

He ignored my comment and dialled a number on my phone. "What do you mean it's been cancelled? Everything was supposed to have been arranged! Look mate it's four in the morning and I'm tired and I just had a 24 hour flight and I have a cranky wi- girlfriend with me. Can you send a car?"

He cursed at the man on the phone before hanging up and handing me back my phone.

"Oh, you have a text from Louis," he said.

I snatched my phone out of his hand and pushed it back into my pocket. Louis had been texting me since we had the threesome and Id been ignoring him. I wasn't sure how I felt about the situation. Harry and I hadn't talked about it yet and this was not the time to get into it.

"Is the car coming?" I asked, ignoring his comment.

He shook his head no. "We need to get a cab."

"Okay, so let's get to the taxi rank." I stood up and glanced at him as he remained on the ground.

"Harry!"

He sighed and stood up, grabbing both of our suitcases and dragging them behind him as we walked back into the airport and headed towards the taxi rank. I rushed up to the first taxi parked there.

"Good morning darling! Where can I take you to?" He asked, getting out to get the suitcases off of Harry.

"Some place to get food. And then our hotel, please." I asked once we were settled in and the driver had begun driving.

"Ah. You're going to be hard pressed to find a place open at this hour. I can see what we pass though," he commented.

I sat back in my seat. "Give him the address to the hotel." I nudged Harry.

He glanced at me from looking out the window. "Mate, just go to the nicest hotel in Melbourne."

"Yes, sir." I glanced at Harry questioningly but he said nothing in response.

The driver managed to find a drive through open and I ordered one of everything on the menu and proceeded to eat most of it before we got to the hotel.
