Chapter 18.

“Pandora! Hurry up, the boys will be here soon!” I yell down the hallway, Panda only decided to get ready now instead of earlier and the boys are sue to pick us up any minute now.

I offered to help her get dressed but she yelled at me and pushed me out of the room. There’s a knock at the door and I run down the hallway to see what the hell Pandora is doing. “Pandora, for gods sake” My mouth drops open when I reach the door, she sitting on the floor in her nappy. “PANDORA!” I yell, I ignore the boys entering the house and rip the ipad from her hands and pull her to stand up.

Placing the ipad on top of the drawers I run into Panda’s wardrobe and pull a cute pink sparkly dress off its hanger and grab her pink sandles, running back out like a mad women to get Panda dressed so we aren’t late for the dinner booking.

“Stop being a pain Pandora and sit down so I can put your shoes on.” I’m getting frustrated now, she won’t cooperate. I quickly put her shoes on and she runs out of the room to the lounge where I assume everyone is waiting. I grab my bag from Panda’s bed fixing my dress and hair before following Panda.

“Hey boys” I smile, everyone is already standing by the door and Harry is holding Panda in his arms.

Harry holds the door open with his spare hand, and I follow Charly and Liam out the door “You look so beautiful” Harry whispers into my ear so only I can hear, making me smile.

“Liam take my car, baby seat” I say when we get to the driveway. “I shotgun front!” Charly says much too excitedly, I laugh at her childish manner although knowing I would totally do the same.

“Here I’ll take her” I say to Harry tickling Panda’s back. “It’s okay I’ve got her” Harry smiles and walks around the other side of the car to put Panda in. “Liam I love my car so don’t hurt it okay? I’ll hurt you if you do!” I warn, I have a light blue metallic kinda colored ford territory and I love it almost as much as Panda, it’s like my second baby.

“I’ll just run it into the fence then” Liam laughs and I lightly slap his arm. “Try it and see what happens” I smile and Harry takes a seat next to me in the car.

“Where are we going for dinner anyway?” Charly asks as we drive off, Harry takes my hand in his I can’t stop smiling. I don’t know what is going on with us but I don’t really care I like it, and he always makes me smile no matter how small the gesture I can never keep the smile off my face when I’m around him.

“Just wait and see babe” Liam places his hand on Charly’s thigh as he drives “We’re here”

“Oi Charly, what the fuck happened to Chord? He hasn’t been home in a few days and I forgot to ask you.”

“You’ve had a lot going on, he took Julie on a holiday to Paris for two weeks. He didn’t even tell me till the morning they were going to the airport because I was up. Otherwise I wouldn’t have told us, I don’t know why but yeah.” She says as we all get out of the car, I grab Panda out of her car seat and Harry grabs her baby bag for me. “Thank you” I smile and close the car door.

“That’s weird, he usually tells us everything.” I sigh, Liam tells the guy at the door his name and we are escorted to a table near the back window of the restaurant. I put Panda into a highchair in between Charly and I, Liam next to Charly and Harry next to me and Liam. “Yeah I tried to call him but he’s obviously out of service over there.” I say sitting down.

“This place looks really expensive boys…” I say peeping over my menu, all the other people in the place look really rich and snobby. The restaurant looks so elegant and beautiful, I feel too poor to be in here.
