'only happy tears.' ═════════════
The Hollands arrived at the door, Tom had picked up his family from the airport, with the extra addition of Harrison and his sister.
"I can't believe we are going to hang out with Ariana Grande," Paddy had expressed his excitement in the car, "Tom, you're so lucky."
Sam Holland chuckled at him, "Yeah, Paddy's had a huge crush on her ever since the concert."
"Ooh," Tom and Harry mocked him playfully.
"No. No, I don't," Paddy insisted, brushing his brother's prodding hands-off. However, when they entered the building, Paddy's face went red.
"Hey, Paddy," Ariana took him into a hug, "I missed you..."
"Um, uh, me too," Paddy backed away slowly. There was an awkward string of laughter and Ariana could gather some of what was going on, she proceeded to give Sam and Harry hugs too.
"You must be Harrison," Ariana smiled, "Thank you so much, for everything. I can't even say how much Tom talks about you."
"Oh, stop," Harrison offered her a hug, which she excepted quickly, "Thank you. I've never seen Tom happier than when he's with you. He's doing better and it's because of you."
Ariana pulled him into another hug, "Thanks, man." When she pulled away she turned to the Grandes, who was standing a distance away, by a bench placed in the park. "Mama, Frankie, Nonna! Get over here!"
It was there first time meeting, Tom was kinda nervous but what he didn't know was that Ariana was just as nervous as he was. She had to meet his parents too.
"I'm Ariana," She introduced herself to Nikki and Dom, "It's amazing to finally meet you."
Ariana was shaken when Nikki pulled her into a hug, "I can't even say how much I've been wanting to meet you too. We think you're amazing."
"Oh, dang," Ariana hugged her back, "You better not make me cry at the happiest place on Earth."
Nikki chuckled, "Only happy tears..."
"Thank you so much for helping Tom," Dom smiled, "Everyone was shocked when Tom said he had a girlfriend, I was just shook he could make it through the door every day."
Ariana laughed, she liked Tom's dad a lot. Throughout the day he proved to be a great father figure and she was happy that she had someone like that to look up to now. Plus, she could see where Tom got his humour from.
They spent the whole day getting to know each other, both Holland's parents were amazing. Tom thought the same way about her family. It was a different dynamic to his but they were just as amazing - he took a particular liked her Nonna.
