*Harry’s POV*

Calling our parents, we told them how we were going to arrive home later than planned.

“Did you guys realise we will be late for Christmas if we wait?” Ally pointed out.

“True. But, I don’t think it’d be pretty safe taking in the fact that we are all so damn tired.” Mabel adds.

“It’ll be okay, we are only staying the night. We are going to leave early in the morning.” Zayn says.

“Fine.” Ally sighs to tired to argue, plopping onto the couch.

“Wait … where is Destiny?” I asked, suddenly realising Destiny wasn’t with us.

“I have no clue …” June shrugs.

“Didn’t she go to bed?” Liam asked.

“I don’t know …” I slowly say. I walked over to our bedroom in the hotel. I see a lump on the bed.

‘Destiny?’ I thought to myself, laughing. Slowly and quietly, I made my way to the bed. Just as I was about an inch away from the bed, I leapt onto the lump on the bed, screaming, “Hey Destiny!” with a smirk.

“Harry!” Someone screamed from under the covers.

“Harry?” Hearing another voice call from the bathroom entrance.

“Destiny? But, who …?” I stuttered, seeing Destiny trying to hide her smirk from the doorway. I grabbed the covers and pulled them down. “Elizabeth!” Immediately Destiny and Elizabeth burst into laughter. Still, on top of Elizabeth, Louis walked into the room.

“Harry! What are you dong?” Louis exclaimed.

“Trust, Louis. This isn’t what it looks like.” I try explaining, rushing to get off her.

“Louis! Harry jumped on top of me, while I was trying to sleep.” Elizabeth says, purposely stuttering out her.

“What! No! Wait … yes but, in my defence, I thought it was Destiny.” I stammered trying to explain myself, my face turning red in embarrassment.

“But, Destiny was in the bathroom, mate.” Liam tests me.

“I didn’t know that!” I defended myself, angrily. “You are the one who told me that she was sleeping!”

“Why didn’t you just shake her awake?” Louis asked they were clearing trying to get on my bad side.

“Because that’s lame.” I groaned.

“Alright. Alright.” Destiny choked on her laughter, as she came over to me. “I think that is enough torture for today.” She protected me from the boys, still laughing. I slightly hid behind her, jokingly.

“My hero,” I whispered, making her giggle.

“Wait … what were you doing in their bed, anyway?” Niall asked Elizabeth, who was getting off the bed and walking over to Louis.

“Sleeping. What else?” Elizabeth only says.

“But why there,” Niall asked.

“Just because I felt like it.” Elizabeth shrugged.

Just as everyone retreated to their bedrooms, they fell asleep almost immediately.

“Goodnight.” Destiny smiled at me.

“Goodnight to you too, baby.” I smiled back, planting a kiss on Destiny’s forehead before falling into a deep sleep.

*Next Day*

Rushing around the suit, we were getting late trying to pack up all our things to leave the hotel.

“Quickly!” Louis exclaimed, “We are going to miss our flight!”

“Destiny! Hurry!” I nudge her, as I find her casually strolling down the wall.

“Oh chill, Harry. We have plenty of time to spare.” Destiny rolled her, plopping onto the couch.

“Are you done packing? You might forget something! That takes such a long time to do!” I exclaimed, confusingly watching as the girls plopped down next to her, without a care in the world.

“Unlike you boys. We finished all of that, last night.” June yawned, leaning on Destiny’s shoulder.

“Last night? When last night?!” Niall questioned her.

“Don’t worry about it. You have many other things to worry about.” Elizabeth shrugged.

“Would you, princesses mind helping our poor peasant selves?” Liam asked, in a sassy tone.

“Mhmm … we’ll think about it.” Mabel shrugged it off.

“Rude,” Zayn whined.

“You can manage by yourself.” Ally waved her hands at us, carrying on a conversation with the other girls, in a tone none of us could understand. Rolling my eyes, the boys and I continue on packing.

Finally finishing with all our packing, we placed our things next to the front door, along with the girls’ luggage, while they were still carrying on their conversation, not noticing what we were doing.

Seeing that there was still three hours before we had to leave, Niall motioned his head towards the girls’ direction, with a smirk. We nodded, understanding what he meant. Immediately we rushed to our girlfriends, and stole them away to our rooms, separately. I had jumped on top the couch next to Destiny, and resting my head on her lap as I smile up at her.

“What are you doing you silly boy?” Destiny laughed, stroking my curly hair.

“Spending time with my baby girl.” I smiled. Destiny giggled, melting my heart.

My eyes traced the line on her face, thinking about how this on girl changed my whole like, making me so unbearably happy.

“Harry!” Destiny exclaimed, shaking me out of my trance.

“Yeah?” I smiled at her, recovering from the trance.

“Are you alright? You were staring at me, and wouldn't reply to anything I said.” Destiny asked, worried.

“Your fault. I got lost in your beauty.” I smiled.

“Oh, shut up.” Destiny giggled, biting her bottom lip, and placing her hand over my face, to stop me from looking at her.

I put her hand in mine and kissed it gently. “I love you, Destiny.”

“I love you too, Harry.” Destiny smile, bending over to kiss me.

Destiny and I carried on a decent conversation, as I continued to lay on her lap, as she fiddles with my hair. About 3 hours later, we stuffed our things into a car and drove off to the airport. Zayn and Louis had returned the vehicles, as we waited to board the plane. Finally getting into our terminal, we were met by a long line up for our flight.

Waiting in the line, I noticed the ice cream booth nearby, realising how hungry I had been feeling. Despite it not being a proper breakfast it beat being without anything. Deciding to retrieve everyone an ice cream cone, I quickly ran to and back from the booth. Panic raced through my mind, as I thought the plane might leave without me, I rushed back to my friends, only to find out that the line only moved up by a little bit.

Shaking my head, I sighed at my stupidity. Waiting in the line, we licked our ice cream cones and carried on multiple conversations amongst ourselves.

Looking around, I noticed everyone talking, laughing and smiling, giving off a nice feeling. I directed my attention to Destiny and saw a bit of ice cream on her chin.

“You got something on your face,” I told her. “Here, let me get it for you.” Stopping her from wiping her chin. Extending my arm, and rubbing her chin clean, I couldn’t help but lean in and kiss her lips. Lasting for more than a minute, the kiss washed the feeling of calmness and relaxation over me.

I smiled as we broke away. Planting a light kiss on Destiny’s forehead, I brought herself close to my side.

After about half an hour, we were finally able to board our plane. Fortunately, all of our seats were right next to one another, just as before. Destiny had settled in next to me.

The flight had been overall very calming, despite Zayn’s constant complaining half the time. There was a man next to him who was continuously barfing, which for the rest we were pretty amusing. After our plane had landed, we quickly grabbed our things and exited the plane.

Resting our bags, at the curve just in front of the airport, we waited for our parents to pick us up.

“Selfie!” Ally exclaimed, grabbing everyone’s attention, as we posed for the picture. Making funny faces, it is hard to keep in our laughter.

“Mum!” Destiny suddenly exclaimed in glee, rushing to her mother and jumping into her arms, as did the rest of the girls.

“Sorry boys, but your parents weren’t able to come. They are trying to decorate the dining hall for our Christmas party tonight.” Elizabeth’s mother explained.

Nodding, we split into the five cars and were driven home. Immediately, after arriving home we each took a nice long shower, changed our outfits and took a much-needed nap before tonight’s party at the dining hall.
