"I swear the first thing I'm going to do is run into the sea!" I am literally bouncing up and down in my seat. We're less than 20 minutes away from Barbados and I am so excited to have a break. "I'm going to have a decent shower." Liam says and i laugh, i look out of the window at the plane wing amongst the clear blue skies. "I wouldn't mind the sea either but after that I'm going to go back to my room and watch romcoms on Netflix." Harry smirks.
"I wouldn't mind the romcom either." I say smiling at him. He smiles back. Liam rolls his eyes dramatically.
"Get a room." He laughs as he says it and my jaw drops open.
"Liam!" I punch him softly on the arm and he rubs at the spot laughing.
"I'm gonna go to the loo quick before its too late and we come to land. Sorry H." I stand up and shimmy my way out of the seats. I walk towards the back of the plane, Louis is stood waiting for a bathroom too. He greets me with a half smile, "Bit of a queue. I thought i would go before we land. Of course everyone else had the same idea." He chuckles.
"Yeah, that was my plan too." I sigh. Someone comes out and we all shuffle down the queue.
"Heard Liam taking the piss. You still got something going on with Haz?" He asks casually over his shoulder. I feel myself blush slightly.
"Not really," my stomach butterflies flap happily with encouragement, "I ended things." Someone comes out of the toilet and they hold the door open for Louis, he looks like he wants to say something but someone further down the queue shouts something like "Some of us are desperate back here." He shakes his head and enters the toilet, he never breaks his eye contact with me until the door is firmly closed. I sigh. The next toilet becomes free and i enter it. Don't you hate plane toilets? They are tiny and you feel like you're drunk when you sit on them. To top it off you feel like you might get sucked out when you press the flush. I will never fully understand how people manage to have sex in one of these. I finish my loo time and head back out holding the door open for someone else to enter before heading down the aisle back to my seat. When i walk through to business class i see Louis is already sat down, headphones in. I debate whether I should just tap him on the shoulder and ask for him to talk but i decide against it. I don't want him to feel pressured or anything to feel forced. I take my seat next to Harry who smiles up at me to greet me - i half smile back. "You okay?" He asks and i look back at Louis for a second then nod.

"LANA!" Niall shouts as we get out of the baggage area and see Lana sat waiting for us. He runs to her and she jumps happily into his arms, they kiss. I stop in my tracks at the sign of emotion and Louis bumps into me, "Oh, sorry." He says and looks up at the scene in front of us - he stops walking too and watches, i look at him quickly and he catches my eye. We both look away and sigh at the exact same time. I then start walking towards Niall and Lana. They break apart and i hug Lana, "You look tired." She comments and i look back at Louis.
"You have no fucking idea." I sigh - she knows.
"Well I'm here now." She pokes her tongue out at me.
"Hi Lana." Louis gives her a hug.
"Hi Louis. You look tired." I hear her repeat what she says to me before i stop listening. Louis raises his eyebrows at me once he had finished his greeting then sits down while we wait for Harry and Liam to get to us. "You guys need to talk." Lana says to me subtlety keeping an eye on where Niall and Louis are and to make sure they are not in earshot. "What?" I ask.
"You and Louis just need to sit down and talk." She repeats herself.
"I'm done talking Lana. Every time i open my mouth to him i annoy him more." She goes to open her mouth but i shut her down, "No. I'm done." I pick my rucksack up and swing it over my shoulder, "i'm gonna go get us a cab. Don't be too long." I feel Lana's eyes on me as i walk away and Louis looks confused as i walk past him and Niall sat on the bench. I walk out into the warm air of Barbados and take a deep breath. This is a place of chill and relaxation, i do not need to start the day feeling tense and annoyed. A taxi pulls up in front of me and i speak to the driver, "There's 6 of us?" He nods at me and i see theres seats in the boot, "Okay, thanks they wont be long."
"Sure, sure! No problem." He says to me and i look back at the doors. Louis is just walking though them.
"Oh nice one P." He says bumping my shoulder. I side eye him, "Hey! Stop being grumpy... we are in Barbados... a place to relax!" I don't respond, shove my bags into the tiny boot space and then climb into the front seat next to the driver. "What's 'appening there?" The driver asks. "Don't even get me started."
"You are on island time now. Relax." He says. Louis climbs into the seat directly behind me, followed by Lana and Niall who sit right in the back of the cab and Harry and Liam sit with Louis. Harry looks awkward sat in the middle basically touching Louis and i smile at the flashback of carpool karaoke with James. "That's better." The cab driver says seeing me smile.
