*LIZZIE’S POV*

Once I was done with my pancakes, I got somewhat bored, so I sent a quick text to El and Dani while I showered and got dressed- taking special care to apply some useless makeup to my neck before giving up and wrapping a light scarf around it.

“Lizzieeeee?” I heard Eleanor call as the bedroom door opened, and the pair walked in.

“How did y’all get in here?” I asked, somewhat startled because I thought the door was locked.

“Everyone has copies of each others,” Dani answered, jingling her keys in the air. “So what should we do today?”

“I was actually thinking along the lines of going to the hotel and surprising the boys at the fragrance release!” Eleanor said, her face lighting up as she looked to me for approval.

“I love it.”

~~~~~~

As we walked up the stairs into the hotel, there was already a surprising amount of security.

“Ma’am,” a man approached us as we attempted to walk down the hallway that had the sign on it for the press conference. “I’m sorry, but I’ll need to see your pass to get back there.”

“Oh,” Danielle faltered, unsure like me and Eleanor of what to do, “well I’m Danielle Peazer. I’m Liam’s girlfriend?” She offered hopefully as we watched his face which showed no form of recognition.

“Pass, or you’re not getting in. I don’t care who you are.”

“Should we call them?” Eleanor suggested as we walked away from the man towards the direction of the lobby.

“No, we don’t want to bother them, plus that’ll ruin the surprise.” Danielle said as we sat down on the couch in a seemingly empty lobby.

“So do we just sit here until they come out?” Eleanor asked, looking between my and Dani’s faces.

“I mean I guess. Plus, I want to see the look on that security guard’s face when he sees that we really do know them.” I said, looking over at the burly man who was still standing guard at the beginning of the hallway.

As the time ticked on, we quickly got bored of our phones and decided to go exploring in the non-restricted area of the hotel, quickly finding ourselves in a massive ballroom that was just a few feet down another hall from the lobby.

“Dani! Dance!” Eleanor said with a laugh as she pulled her onto the smooth dance floor.

“I can’t! There’s no music!” She said, immediately becoming bashful. As my eyes scanned the room, a smile grew across my face as I located the baby grand piano on the other side of the dance floor.

“I can fix that!” I said with a laugh as I skipped over and sat down on the familiar hard bench, looking at their questioning faces before launching into a sonata.

“You’re incredible!” They gushed simultaneously as I finished and immediately became embarrassed.

“I haven’t played in months…” I said, looking down at my fingers.

“What else can you do!?” Eleanor asked, skipping over to sit next to me on the bench. After playing as they belted out numerous songs, ranging from Adele to Lady Gaga, we had made our way into my Beatles repertoire.

“BOO!” Louis screamed, in the middle of the Let It Be chorus, as he came running across to us from seemingly no where, scaring us all half to death as we shrieked while the other four boys quickly followed.

“WHAT THE FUCK, LOU” Eleanor screamed as he helped her up from where she had fallen onto the ground and off of the piano bench while the rest of us laughed.

“We were leaving, but we heard music in the lobby, so we followed it, and it surprisingly turned out to be you three!” he explained, “so we devised a quick plan of action which resulted in you being so scared you fell, spaz.” He added a teasing wink at the end, causing Eleanor to smile.

“Wait, am I the only one who is mildly confused here??” Zayn asked, looking between us three girls.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, becoming just as confused.

“Since when can you play piano like THAT?” Harry blurted out, arms flailing as he finished his emphasized question.

“Okay, so I’m not the only one who didn’t know?” Zayn asked sheepishly with a laugh.

“We just found out about twenty minutes ago,” Danielle offered up as I became increasingly embarrassed from all the attention on me.

“I’ve always played, just not in the past few months,” I said with a smile as I looked over to Harry’s still astonished face. “Okay, c’mon, let’s get out of here,” I tried to slide off the bench but was quickly surrounded by all five of them, with Eleanor still on my left side.

“Oh no, you’re not getting out of this that easy,” Liam said, “can you start that Beatles song over again?”

“Let It Be?” I asked which he answered with a smile and a nod. As I began the intro, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous playing, but my nerves were quickly abolished as Liam and Harry began the first verse in unison before being joined by the other three in the chorus.

“Well this isn’t fair!” Eleanor said jokingly, interrupting them; we looked to her as I kept playing, “now we can’t sing because we sound like proper crap compared to you!”

We managed to get through a few more songs before the sing along turned into a sliding free-for-all on the dance floor. When they split into pairs and began sliding Niall across the smooth floor between the two teams, we knew it was time to leave. So, after some convincing, we managed to get them out as we decided on afternoon plans.

“Okay, well,” Louis said as we made our way into the lobby. The fans had mobbed outside, so it was going to be difficult to exit, “Harry and Zayn and I have some business to take care of, so how about Liam and Niall you take these three lovely ladies to get some lunch?” A bit skeptical of these plans, my eyes wandered over to Harry’s, but I decided not to question him.

“I’ll catch up with you in a bit, sorry.” He said with a smile as he pulled me into a hug and planted a kiss on the top of my head. Slightly sighing, I looked up at him before he kissed me softly for a moment, my eyes shutting.

“Well let’s go then, we’ve got stuff to take care of,” Louis said, clearing his throat and interrupting me and Harry before we pulled away from each other.

~~~~~~

After a very filling lunch with Danielle, Eleanor, Liam, and Niall, I decided to break away from the group and head back home for the afternoon. I loved living in London, so I took a very long walk home and by the time I finally got there, I was exhausted.

Sliding my key into the lock, I couldn’t help but overhear voices on the other side of the door. Curious, I slowly stuck my head in only to quickly be spotted by Louis.

“ELIZABETH!” He cried out, enunciating each syllable and quickly silencing his, Harry’s, and Zayn’s conversation. I walked in as Harry stood up and rushed over to me, planting a quick kiss on my lips in greeting.

“Hello love, you’re home early!” He said with a flustered smile.

“Are these the secret plans that you three have been talking about?” I asked with a smile, finding it somewhat comical. I was suspicious over seemingly nothing. “Y’all wanted to have a little sharing circle in the living room?” Zayn and Louis looked over to Harry’s face before sharing a laugh.

“You caught us!” Zayn said as he nudged Louis in the ribs before they both uttered quick goodbyes and left.

“They’re acting weird..” I said, running my hands over Harry’s chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into him.

“Okay I was thinking,” he said as he looked into my eyes. “Let’s spend the night in Paris?”

When I didn’t respond for a moment, his eyes searched my face for a response. “Lizzie?”

“I would love to!” I exclaimed, snapping myself out of it.

“Thank god. You had me worried for a second.” I stood on my tippy-toes as I kissed him before he could continue. “Well let’s go pack,” he said as he pulled away and looked into my eyes again, “we have a plane to catch.”
