Chapter 2
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. It was Harry.
-Harry Styles 06:44 AM
'Hey sweetheart, todays the day can't wait to see you later, love you. xxxx'
-Lydia Cross 06:47
'Hi babe, why the early text not fair! :( I know I'm so excited for the white beaches! Love you too. xxxxx'
Oh yeah since the last time me and Harry saw each other we are secretly dating. We haven't told anyone because so many things have happened, it will make it confusing. I woke up at 11 and headed for the shower, I came out and chose my outfit for today I picked my Hollister shorts and a cut Hollister top I got dressed and left my hair and makeup natural I was in a couldn't be bothered mood. My phone buzzed twice, I grabbed it from the bedside table and sat on the end of my bed and read the first text.
-Bazza Gunner 11:30 AM
'Hey Lyds! Me, Ali, Beth and Bex are nearly ready will be at yours for 12:30 love ya get you bikini on; D xx'
-Lyds Cross 11:33 AM
'Hey Baz. Yeah sure take your time the boys aren't getting here till 2 in a bit! Xx :)'
The second text was from my mum.
-Mamma Cross 11:30 AM
'Hey sweetheart, sorry I haven't been around the house with you, my work is so busy they needed me, I won't be back until you're in the middle of your holidays, have a fab time with everyone love you loads, M xxx.'
My mum works as a P.A. so she is always out and I never get the chance to bond with her. My dad passed away two years ago it was okay then because he was always around. He worked as a manager for Sky. I missed him loads.
-Lydia Cross 11:38 AM
'Hi mum, it's okay had Louis round for the week to keep me company. Shame you're not gonna be back today to say goodbye but never mind. I love you xxx.'
I walked down stairs and realized how empty the house actually is. My older brother moved out last year to go to uni so it was just me left. I sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. I was watching my favorite film Finding Nemo until the door ran. I quickly got up an answered the door finding Alice, Bailey, Bexy and Beth with what looked like their whole house in their suitcase. I'm jealous of all my friends, Alice was medium and thin with chocolate eyes and brown straight hair just past her shoulders, Bailey was curvy and medium with reddish purplish hair (she dyed it to look more like Rihanna.) and big blue eyes, Beth was shortish/mediumish like me but with big green eyes and long brown wavy hair in-between her hips and her rib cage. My 4 best friends could easily be models if they wanted to no doubt about it!
'I'm soooooo excited!' Beth cried as she budged past the girls dumping her cause in the passage way the other girls followed.
'What time are the boys coming?' Alice asked giving me a hug.
'Urmm round about 3, it's 5 to 3 so they'll be here soon.' I replied walking into the living room with the girlies we sat on the sofa and started to watch Finding Nemo.
'So what's happening with you and Harry then Lyds?' Beth asked innocently jumping on me from the other sofa.
'Ahh get off me! Nothing, nothing's going on, we're just really good friends,' I insisted pushing her off of me onto the floor.
'OWW! That hurt!' She yelped rubber her elbow. 'Anyways we all know you two like each other, just admit it!' She got up and lent on my arm giving me puppy dog eyes.
'Fine! You win! Okay, I do like him a lot but I doubt he likes me he can get any girl!' I mumbled.
'I knew it!' Bailey shouted jumping out of the seat giving me a big hug. 'We all know he likes you don't worry, before you ask how, we watch him and listen to him the way he stares and talks about you, it's obvious.' I sat there hearing the words come out of her mouth I couldn't believe it, I pretended I couldn't care and carried on watching the film, it didn't really work though cause the girls kept pestering me so, I decided to let them gossip and make some teas and coffees to keep them quiet, it was 3 o'clock so the boys will be arriving any moment. I wondered in the kitchen and got out five cups and five tea bags and popped them inside then I boiled the kettle, I hopped up onto the kitchen unit a picked up my phone I had a text, weird didn't hear it.
Harry Styles 2:57 PM
'Hey baby, on our way over with our things get the kettle on we're thirsty love you xxxxx'
Woops, oh well no point texting back he will be here shortly, as I said that the door rung, I quickly grabbed five more tea bags and shoved them into five mugs and ran to the door. Standing outside looking hot as they can, were One Direction. They hurried in dumping their suitcases in the passageway and quickly shut the door out of breath.
'What happened to you lot? Did you decide to run down here?' I laughed.
'Even worst, we somehow have been mugged by a load of screaming girls, weirdly enough they found out we were leaving our house and decided to come visit.' Liam announced.
'And your saying that like it's a bad thing?' I said sarcastically.
'Oh no, it's not a bad thing….'
'It's the best feeling ever!' Niall cried. They all nodded with big cheeky grins on their faces.
'Wow, stuck up much?' I pointed out and ruffled his hair. 'You'll just time guys; I have just literally stuck the kettle on.'
'Oohhhh good, I'm busting for a cuppa!' Louis said smirking and ran to the kitchen with Harry and Zayn following him. Liam and Niall went into the living room to say hello to the girls.
'So Ali's here then,' Zayn said awkwardly looking around the room trying not to set his eyes on us. Harry was sat on the unit and looked up at Zayn and rolled his eyes and Louis elbowed me and nodded.
'Yeah she is, she was talking about you earlier,' I sneakily said pouring boiling hot water in the mugs.
'Be careful with the water now Lydia, don't want an accident like last time.' Louis joked laughing; Zayn and Harry looked up at Louis confused.
'What accident?' Harry asked confused as he stuffed a Hobnob in his mouth.
'Nothing, Louis being stupid,' I blurted. 'Anyways we were talking to Zayn about Ali.'
'No, no, no we weren't we are talking about you and the supposedly accident that happened with boiling water.' Zayn walked over to me and looked at me concerned.
'Well, let's just say Lydia got a bit shocked over a name and pour boiling water all over her hand, hence why she had a cloth wrapped round her hand for a week.' Louis admitted sipping a bit of his tea smirking.
'I did see that but you're so clumsy and you injure yourself all the time, I thought that there's no point in asking.' Zayn sighed walking into the living room with Louis sipping their teas having a private joke about me leaving in the kitchen with Harry. He hopped down and went to grab his cup of tea so he could dunk his Hobnob in, I sat up on the side having a sip knowing that the next thing he would ask would be about the accident. He came over and put down mine and his mug.
'You know what I want to know, just tell me.' He persuaded.
'Trust me it was nothing.' I started to bite my lip; he pulled my face up to his and looked into my eyes.
'I love it when you bite your lip.' He leaned in a gave me a peck on the lips. 'I'll be right back need the loo.' He walked off leaving me spellbound on the unit, Zayn walked in and put his cup in the sink he turned round and looked like he had something on his mind.
'Lyds, I was wondering, I know you know that I really like Ali, I know you too well, and I was thinking if I should ask her out?' He looked at me so innocently and looked at the ground.
'Do it Zayn! She has liked you for ages!' I beamed hopping off the counter. 'I'll go get her so you two can have some privacy.' I bounced down into the living room and looked for Alice she was sat on a black bean bag giggling at Louis who was doing impressions of different people. 'Urmm, Ali can you go in the kitchen please I need your help.' She looked up with beaming eyes.
'Yeah sure,' and hopped up and skipped to the kitchen to Zayn.
'What's going on there then wifey?' Louis asked in a posh voice chucking his arm over my shoulders giving me a kiss on my cheek.
'I cannot say you will all find out soon.' I said grinning at how privileged I felt knowing that I was the only person who knew about the big news. Harry came wondering in minutes later.
'Just to let you know your bed it's messy.' Harry grumbled looking down.
'What?' I asked confused making a list of possibilities of why my bed would be messy.
'Well I got tired and your bed looked cozy so I had a nap and then couldn't be bothered to re-make it.' He seemed quite pleased with himself and sat down next to me. 'Where's Ali and Zayn?' He asked looking around for them.
'They're in the kitchen,' Louis replied in a dirty way winking.
'Oohhhh are they now?' Harry winked.
'Shhh, leave it out Louis!' I demanded. Harry walked over and slumped down next to me on the sofa. Everyone here liked each other, Bexy and Louis, Ali and Zayn, Bazza and Louis and Beth and Niall. It was ironic and sweet. Funny thing is no one would admit it. Bexy and Louis were whispering to each other about something then Louis cleared he throat.
'Me and Bex have a confession to make.' Louis announced. Everybody suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at them. 'Me and Bexy are dating,' he grinned. 'We have been seeing each other for a while but, last night we met up and it went from there really.' They looked at each other and he planted a kiss on her forehead, Bazza, Beth and I awed at the cute couple whilst, Liam and Harry cheered at them.
Two people walked into the room hand in hand both grinning like Cheshire cats. Everyone turned their heads from the film we were watching and cheered at Zayn and Ali, we all instantly knew that they were dating. We were all cuddled up with each other watching the rest of Despicable Me and Niall from the blue asked what the time was.
'About 6,' Zayn replied looking at his phone.
'I'm hungry let's eat!' He suggested standing up. We were going to be leaving soon so I thought if I wiped something quick up we will have plenty of time to leave.
'Fine you hungry, hungry elephant.' I chuckled walking to the kitchen thinking of what things were quick and easy to cook. I looked in the freezer and decided the best thing would be chicken nugget and chips. I stood up and behind me was Harry.
'Woooah! Why are you stalking me Styles? I know you love me but jeeze I need my own personal space.' I joked walking past him putting the chips and nuggets into a tray then in the oven. He sat at the table and watched me faff about. I sat down next to him and in silence we sat there and listened to the whispers from the living room; we knew they were all talking about us. Harry shook his head smiling at some of the comments.
I put the food on the plates and called everyone in. We sat there at the table eating, talking about how excited and all the things we were going to do in Hawaii.
'Only 30 minutes before we leave!' Ali chirped. We stacked all over plates away and ran through a checklist making sure we had everything then we headed off for the airport.
As soon as we got there we rushed to check in and then rushed to the plane. We booked two rows both by the window on the right hand side.
'Right everyone choose one person you wanna sit with,' Ali ordered. Zayn chose Ali obviously, Bexy and Louis chose each other, Niall and Beth and then me and Harry sat with it other.
'Well aren't you a lucky bee sitting next to me?' He winked, 'wait I thought I was going to get a window seat!'
'Well I think you have been spoiled too much lately.' I joked sitting down seeing Bexy and Louis sitting with us. Harry sat down next to me and held my hand as the plane took off.
