London came into view below me, the rain was hammering on the windows and the gloom of the city already made me miss the vast countryside of the Africa plains. I sigh heavily as i notice we are starting to descend and I pull my headphones out so I can hear any announcements, just in time for the air hostess to come on over the speaker., "Ladies and Gentleman we are making our descent down to London now, the local time is 2.30pm. Please keep your seat belts on while the seatbelt light is on. Please remember to take all of your belongings with you. Thank you for flying with us today."
I am one of the last to leave the plane as I hate being caught in the mass of people stressing and panicking as they head into the airport. I calmly make my way to the luggage belt and grab my bag as it makes it's rounds for probably the hundredth time. The airport is busy and people are full of chatter especially when I come out into the departures section. It's buzzing with excited people and I frown at the way people are moving around. Soon it becomes obvious to me as I see him from afar, my heart beats fast as I get closer to him. His brown hair is curly yet wild and he's trying to hide by dressing down in one of his own merch hoodies and black shorts but anyone who is a fan will recognise him from a mile off. I'm walking faster now - actually I'm practically running. It's so nice to see his familiar face and as I get closer his green eyes light up and he smiles so much his dimple shows. I'm actually running now and I drop my bag a foot away so I can jump into his arms. "Harry!" I exclaim as he catches me. Suddenly a load of people are around us and there's cameras flashing everywhere. He lowers me quickly. "Shit!" He says grabbing my hand, I pick my bag up quickly as he starts leading me towards the exit.
"Paige! Are you and Harry back together?"
"Harry is the engagement back on?"
"Paige where have you been?"
The questions are being shouted at us thick and fast but Harry soon has us outside where there is a car waiting for us. He grabs my bag off of me and throws it the boot before we both dive in the back of the car. Fans and paparazzi unite banging on the car as we are safely inside. "Phew." I say, "I didn't realise you were coming to get me?"
"Well, neither did I really. Lana and Niall told me you were coming back today so I got your flight number and time to surprise you.... surprise!" He says chuckling. I giggle too.
"Such a good surprise! How is the new baby? How is everyone?" I quickly throw a million questions at him. He smiles at me.
"Everyone is fine - the baby is super cute, you will love him. Everyone is waiting for you at theirs."
"Okay, I might have to pop to the hotel first though." I say, looking down at myself in my beige shorts and vest top. I'm actually super cold right now - even if it is June. Harry looks at me shocked, "You're staying at a hotel?"
"Yeah, I can't exactly stay with Niall and Lana!" He looks confused, "first of all they have a new baby to get into a routine with and second of all my room is now a nursery." Harry frowns and he taps his bottom lip with his index finger. I look down in my lap pulling awkwardly at my shorts. "I forgot about that. Well stay with me?" He looks at me from under his eyelashes and my heart beats happily at his green eyes - I've missed those eyes. "I don't know if that's a good idea." I say quietly, trying not to hurt his feelings.
"Oh come on love, why isn't it? It will save you money for a hotel? I mean you don't know how long you will be here?" He's very convincing.
"Well I'm looking for a flat..."
"Great! I'm looking for a room mate. It gets lonely in a massive house by yourself." He says cheerfully. I sigh heavily - the massive house we were meant to live in together. "I dunno H..."
"Well I'm not taking no for an answer." He leans forward to let the driver know the change of plans and i can smell the Tom Ford aftershave rolling off of him. I smile at him as he sits back down. "Thanks H." He smiles back at me.
"Plus you can tell me all about your African adventure." His dimple is on show now and I smile wider.

"P, love, I told them we would be 15 minutes, that was 30 minutes ago." Harry calls to me from the bedroom. I'm currently in the bathroom trying to tame my red hair which is even more wild than before due to the lack of moisture in Africa. I grab a bulldog clip out of my toiletries bag and just clip it back out of my face then look up at myself in the mirror - my face looks dirty from the tan. I roll my eyes at myself, you need to calm down. They are just your friends. The door opens behind me and I jump, Harry walks in with his eyes closed, "Sorry love but I think we really ought to..." he opens his eyes and stares at me looking half decent in a yellow flower printed summer dress, I'm sure it's a label but I can't remember who. I just grabbed out the first thing I saw in the wardrobe that used to be mine. "Wow." Harry says looking me up and down.
"It's a bit loose actually at the waist, I had to put a belt around it... does it look stupid?" I look up at Harry who's mouth is half open and he closes it quickly then shakes his head. "No, you look perfect love." I smile at him.
"Thank you." I say feeling myself going slightly red. Harry continues to look at me and i quickly check my phone - it's been nearly an hour since I landed. "H," I say making him jump, "we should probably..."
"Yes. Oh sorry." We both go to walk out of the bathroom at the same time and bump into each other. Harry looks down at me his sea green eyes staring into mine. I look away quickly and shimmy out of the bathroom, walking towards my bed and grabbing my denim jacket off of it. "Ready?" I ask him as he slowly follows me. He nods and we both head out of the door.

I knock on the familiar door and within seconds it's opened. The smell of baby powder wafts out into the hallway. I'm pulled instantly into a hug. "Paige!" Lana exclaims. She holds me at arms length, "wow you look amazing." She looks at Harry who nods in agreement. I get to look at her now, although she still looks beautiful there seem to be some bags under her eyes and her hair is a bit more wild than normal. "You look fantastic too. Motherhood suits you!" She smiles and mutters some sort of thank you. She leads us into the apartment which has turned into an aisle at Toys R Us - there's baby stuff everywhere! Niall is stood just inside with the cutest mini person I have ever seen in my life. I tiptoe and give Niall a kiss on his cheek before taking in the smushy face of my godson. "Paige, we would love you to meet, Joshua Samual Horan." He whispers as the angel is asleep. "Oh my god. Guys - How did you create something so perfect?!" I whisper and they both giggle - Even Harry chuckles.
"I think he resembles a bit of an alien meself - albeit a cute one." My heart stops beating as I hear the familiar Doncaster accent. Someone moved behind me so I turn around to be almost face to face with him. "Louis... hi." I manage to get out.
"Hi Paige luv. Africa treated you alright then." He says nodding at me. He looks quickly over to Harry who nods in agreement again. A hand suddenly appears around Louis waist and my heart drops. "Are you not going to introduce us Pudding?" I hear an annoying London yet Harley Quinn wannabe accent and try to look around Louis for the person who made the noise. Finally she appears, all dressed in pink, looking completely fake and so skinny I could probably snap her in half like a chocolate finger. What the hell? My heart drops down to my butt. "Oh yes, sorry sweetie." I frown, sweetie? Louis has never used that word in his whole life. "Eliza this is Paige Sanderson, the one I was telling you about - me best friend." She looks me up and down like a dangerous bug - bring it bitch, "and Paige this is Eliza Montague - my girlfriend."
