Over Again
Chapter 13
Chapter thirteen
It was now Wednesday, and Harry and I were sitting in the living room, aimlessly flipping through channels as we ate our breakfast. I was finished with mine, so I reached over and placed my dishes on the coffee table. I then sprawled out on the sofa, placing my feet in Harry’s lap. He looked at them, then at me, very pointedly. I laughed and simply wiggled my toes at him. Then my phone started buzzing on the coffee table. I reached for it, answering it without seeing who was calling, assuming it was my mum.
“Hello?” I answered it, smirking at Harry.
“Houston, we have a problem,” Louis said in his theatrical tone. I rolled my eyes at him.
“Trouble in paradise?” I asked him teasingly.
“Pssh,” he laughed. “Something like that. Apparently...” he paused. “Well, Zayn’s house is shit.”
“Hey!” I heard Zayn say in the background. “It is not, give me the phone.” I heard them struggle for dominance of the phone, before Zayn finally gained control.
“Hey, Sarah,” he said.
“Gooooood morning,” I said in a sing-song voice.
“Well, not exactly,” he laughed. “We woke up this morning to water literally pouring out from the walls so, naturally, I called a plumber, and it seems that the pipes are all no good, something about the pressure or what not. Anyways, would it be terribly inconvenient if we came over to your guys’ place?” he asked me.
“Of course,” I said. “You’re all more than welcome.” Harry’s eyes shot up to mine as I said this and I laughed at his expression. “It’s Zayn,” I told him. “He’s having plumbing troubles so the lads are going to stay with us.”
“Great,” Harry said with mock disappointment before shooting me a smile and winking.
“That tetra-titted-tossey better be jokin-” I heard Louis say before he was cut off.
“And you’re officially off speakerphone,” Zayn laughed. I laughed loudly.
“What’s so funny?” Harry kept asking me, but I just brushed him off, laughing to myself.
“Alright, we’ll see you in a few!” I said into the line.
“Alright, cheers!” Zayn said before we clicked off.

The lads and the other girlfriends had been staying with us since Tuesday afternoon, and now it was Thursday, the day before mine and Harry’s first public event as an official couple. I was a combination of excitement and absolute nerves. I was worried about people’s reaction to Harry and I as a couple, but I had an idea of what to expect. I also didn’t really care. Harry knew me better than almost anyone else on the planet, the same way I knew him. As long as we held on to that, we’d be fine.
I was currently sitting in my room with Eleanor and Danielle, going through our outfits for tonight. Eleanor was comparing two pairs of shoes and Danielle was hanging upside down over the edge of the bed on her phone. Meanwhile, I was placing my dress back in its plastic and hanging it on the rod in our closet.
“So how was shopping with Harry?” Danielle asked me, still on her phone. I looked over and she was on instagram.
“It was fun, Harry actually picked out the dress.” I told her.
“No way!” Eleanor said, coming over to inspect my dress with a new-found vigour. She nodded in approval. “Harry’s got good taste, I’ll give him that.” She said, smiling as she handed it back to me.
“I thought so,” I said, replacing it on the rod again. Danielle threw her phone down on the bed and sat up.
“So, when are we going to go shopping for the movie premiere?” She asked us.
“That’s not for a while, Dani,” I said and she laughed at me.
“Sarah,” she shook her head. “Two weeks is not a long while.”
“Dani’s right,” El agreed. `
“Yeah, well it’s in L.A, why not just buy our dresses there and save ourselves the hassle of having to travel with them?” I suggested. El and Dani looked at each other and nodded.
“That sounds reasonable, I mean, it doesn’t give us a lot of time...” Dani drifted off in thought.
“A lot of time for what?” Harry asked as he walked in the room. Dani stared at him in horror.
“Excuse me!” She gasped. “We could’ve been naked in here...” She trailed off suggestively and Harry rolled his eyes.
“With the door open?” He asked skeptically.
“You never know...” Dani trailed off, seeing his point. Harry laughed.
“And, not to rub it in your face, but you are in my room.” He laughed. He came over and kissed me, heading into the closet.
“What are you looking for?” I asked him as he rummaged through our closet.
“I borrowed a shirt off Louis, like forever ago, and now I can’t seem to find it.” He told me, his voice muffled by the clothes he was digging through.
“Which one?” Eleanor asked.
“It’s his sweater from the ‘gotta be you’ video; I literally borrowed it for an interview like three years ago.” Harry laughed.
“What does he want with it?” El asked, laughing lightly. Harry stood up and gave a sigh, giving up on his search.
“He made me a bet that I lost it,” he shook his head with that adorable crooked smile of his.
“Looks like he was right and I owe him £50.00.” He laughed. I wrapped my arms around his waist as he came to stand beside me, snuggling into his side a little bit.
“You know,” Dani said. “I’d be willing to bet that Zayn stole it from you on tour. It wouldn’t be the first time.” She laughed. Harry’s eyes lit up at this prospect.
“Time to go downstairs and clear my name!” He said with a laugh, kissing my forehead before heading towards the door. “Oh, and just so you know, the call just came in from management and we’re leaving at three tomorrow.” He smiled and shot me a quick wink before exiting the room.
“Are you nervous about tomorrow?” Eleanor asked me. I walked over and slumped onto the bed with them, propping myself up on one side.
“A little, but I’m more excited,” I told them. “I mean, I know that there’s always going to be the fans that hate me, but I really just want people to know that Harry and I are together, you know?”
“Yeah,” El said. “I felt the exact same way, only wasn’t as calm as you are.” She laughed. I smiled at her.
“Well, I have two amazing friends to help me.” I winked at them and they laughed.
“That you do!” Dani laughed.
