Chapter 37:

------{Harry's POV}------

I sat myself at the kitchen table as I ate my breakfast. I'm excited for today! Today is the day that Emma and Hayles get home; me and Niall have already arranged to meet them at the airport, whilst the lads set up a 'welcome home' party at Emma's house.

I'm meeting Niall here in an hour so we can go and get the girls together. Its safe to say I can't contain my excitement, theses past six months have been painful not being able to see her and today is finally the day she comes home!

I finished my cereal and put the used bowl in the dishwasher, making my way towards my room. I picked out a simple white tank top and dark wash denim skinny jeans and lay them out on my bed; next I grabbed my towel and headed for my shower, turning on the water and letting it run before stepping in. I felt the lukewarm water flow over my body as I continued to wash myself, the white bar of soap slipping in my hands occasionally.

After rinsing my body I grabbed the bottle of shampoo and emptied a small amount of its contents into my hand, putting the bottle back. My palms rub together before they lathered my hair until bubbles formed, the pear scented shampoo was soon washed from my hair as I rinsed it and turned the shower off. I almost winced at the loss of warmth from the water as my naked body was hit with a cold gust of wind as I stepped out.

I wrapped a towel around my body as I made my way into my room, picking up some white boxers and putting them on, I heard a voice downstairs, "Hellloooo?" a familiar Irish accent boomed through the house.

"I'm in my room Niall!" I shouted back, informing him of where I was. His footsteps make their way up the stairs before his cheerful and overly excited face walked through my bedroom door. "Hey! You look happy." I commented.

"I am. I can't wait to see them. I've missed them so much!" he grinned.

"How're the lads doing?" I asked wondering how they were dealing with setting up the surprise party.

"They're fine. They're all at Emma's putting the decorations up. They said it took Zayn a while to get out of bed but he managed it." he laughed, "Oh and apparently the girls are there too helping." I smiled, knowing that we can always depend on the girls to whip us lads into shape.

"You spoke to Hayles lately?" I asked him. Me and Emma have our suspicions that they got together before we went on tour but they haven't said anything yet.

"Yeah, I spoke to her yesterday." He smiled largely as he thought of Hayley. I nodded my head with a knowing smirk and finished getting dressed before grabbing my keys and closely following Niall out of the front door.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and took it out to find a message from Emma.

The Tease: Thank you for your letter baby, I'm very excited! xxx.

I smiled at the message, glad that she didn't open it before hand. I had written her a small note and placed it into her suitcase before we left, it read: 'Cant wait to see you baby, not long left now! I've missed you, have a safe flight and I'll see you at the airport. Love from the amazing Harry .xx' I giggled as I remembered the memory and began driving to the airport.

~~

We got to the airport 15 minutes ago and have been waiting for the flight to land. It had gotten to the point where both me and Niall couldn't stop fidgeting, we are too excited to see our girls again. After a painful 15 minutes of waiting we finally heard what we have been waiting for, "Flight number 254 has landed." me and Niall looked quickly at each other, his wide eyes and mouth agape replicated my own as we ran to greet the two girls.

We were engulfed within a crowd of passengers, workers and fans that had rushed to greet us; swallowing us in their presence. After signing the odd autograph or taking the odd picture, me and Niall bid our farewells and continued our search for the girls. I saw Niall sprint to see Hayley as he spotted her face in the crowd - he immediately ran to her and wrapped her in his arms tightly as she did the same to him. They pulled apart slightly before I saw their lips meet in a sweet kiss, I chuckled to myself, me and Emma were right.

After watching them for a couple of seconds my attention turned to the crowd around them as I browsed the faces in search for Emma. As I did this Niall and Hayles made their way over to me, Niall with his arm around her shoulder and Hayles with her arms around his waist as he kissed her forehead. She broke from the position to give me a friendly hug, "it's nice to have you back Hayles," I smiled welcoming her home, "Where's Emma?" I asked curiously. Hayleys face dropped as she looked to the floor, saddened at what she was about to tell me.

"She isn't coming back Harry. She's staying there, she wants to help them." she spoke sadly, my heart sank in my chest as I realised she wasn't here.

"Well where is she? What part of Africa? I'll go there if I have to!" I asked, furiously trying to get answers of where she was. I looked at Hayley's face as it changed from sad to humoured as she began to laugh at me, "What? What's so funny?" I asked confused and slightly agitated.

"I'm only joking Harry, of course she's back! She hasn't stopped talking about you for the past six months! She's just signing a few autographs and taking a few pictures with fans we met on the flight. She should be here any minute." she finished looking at me, I shook my head at her, she had me worried sick!

"That wasn't funny." I pointed at her playfully as her and Niall continued to laugh together. I rolled my eyes and walked past them as I continued to search for Emma.

A familiar head of naturally curly brown hair that cascaded down her back caught my eye. I smiled to myself as she walked through the crowd, pulling her small black suitcase close behind. I noticed her newly tanned skin as I started to walked closer to her - her eyes shifted from the floor as she searched for me unsuccessfully, making me smile. Her beautiful eyes continued to browse through the crowd in hopes to find one familiar face. Until she found mine. At this point we were about ten meters away.

Her smile touched her eyes, showing her beautiful dimples - her hazel orbs started to glisten as she tried her best not to cry. I chuckled at her, seeing her again after six months has made me realise that I love her more than I thought I did. The butterflies in my stomach still flutter whenever I see her smile or when I feel her touch or hear her voice. She has complete control over me, like I do with her - she is perfect and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, just making her happy.

We walked closer to each other, our smiles mirroring. I decided to sprint to her, I ran as fast as I could and the next thing I knew our lips crashed together in a passionate kiss; they moved in sync with each other, she let go of her suitcase and snaked her arms around my neck as I rested mine around her waist until they met at her lower back, allowing me to tickle her back dimples. As I did this I could feel her smile into the kiss, not pulling away. Her fingers ran through my curls as the kiss deepened, without hesitation I swiped my tongue across her bottom lip asking for entrance - which she denied. Such a tease.

I smiled at her actions as our lips remained connected, and bit her bottom lip cheekily making her gasp; taking this as my opportunity to explor her mouth with my tongue, occasionally grazing her tongue with my own. Her soft fingers fluttered effortlessly across my skin, similar to the butterflies in my stomach. I pulled her body closer, closing whatever space there was between us; we were both engulfed in a trance until we heard familiar clicks making us reluctantly tear away from one another. We looked around and noticed flashing cameras everywhere, I grabbed Emma's hand and her suitcase as I walked in the direction of the car. "I love you. I've missed you so much." I heard Emma whisper beside me, I smiled at her teary face and wiped a tear away as we kept walking.

"I love you too, more than anything. And I'm just glad to see you again." I sighed and kissed her forehead, "I love you so much!" I whispered into her ear as we reached the car.

Me and Niall put the girls' suitcases in the boot of the car whilst the girls sat in and rested, I jumped into the drivers seat and began driving in the direction of Emma's house.

We pulled up to the house and got the girls suitcases, I looked over to Niall and smiled at him as they chatted unknowingly, all the way to the door. Emma slowly opened the door and gasped as she noticed all of the banners and decorations, she turned to me in amazement as I put her suitcase down and took her hand - leading her into the living where everyone was waiting. She laughed at me, "Harry, you didn't have to do th-"

"SURPRISE!!" everyone screamed and jumped up. Emma hid in my chest and I felt her fast heartbeat thump against my chest due to the sudden surprise.

"Oh my gosh!!! Hi guys!" she said as her and Hayley both ran over to the others, engulfing them in hugs and kisses. "You guys this is amazing! Thank you so much!" she gushed as she continued to squeeze Louis.

"Emma...can't...breathe." he puffed in-between breaths. She chuckled and let go of him, blushing slightly as she walked over to me and cuddled back into my chest, allowing me to wrap my arms around her small frame tightly, and pull her closer to me. God I've missed this!

The girls all went into the dining room to get a few snacks while me and the lads stayed in the living room. "Guys I need your help...again." I chuckled as all of their heads turned to me and waited for me to continue, "Mine and Em's anniversary is in five days, I'm taking her to a place called Santorini in Greece because she's always wanted to go, but I need your opinion on her present." I ask them to which they nod in reply.

"What are you planning on getting her?" Liam asked as he glanced at me quizzically. I took a deep breath and exhaled before saying...
