A-Punk – Vampire Weekend

It's Time – Imagine Dragons

Harry's perspective.

"Well, what did you do when you checked in at the airport Niall?" I ask him, impatiently sighing.

"I checked in! And then... Oh shit." Niall stops his explanation, his eyes widening.

"And then what Niall?" I ask him, my tone getting harsher as I lose the little patience that I have left.

"I... I saw a food truck that was selling sausage rolls... So, I ran to get one." He trails off, his head dropping in disappointment.

"So... you forgot to check your fucking luggage into the check in station because you saw a food truck? You have got to be kidding me Niall. We have all been waiting at this turnstile for over half an hour waiting for your luggage to find out that you didn't even check it in!" My hand sweeps through the air and connects with the back of Niall's head with a thump.

"What d'ya do that for?!"

My eyes close and my hands clench into fists. I'm going to fucking lose it. A soft hand touches me arm causing my eyes to open, meeting with a pair of alluring green ones. Lexi.

"It's fine Harry, let's just go to the hotel. There's nothing we can do about it now." Her small voice calms me almost instantly. I nod in response to her suggestion.

Lexi, Niall, Cara and I climb into a taxi. Cara sits in the front, talking the drivers ear off the second she puts her seat belt on. Lexi sits in the middle of Niall and I, our thighs brushing with the movement of the car. Get yourself together Styles.

Zayn, Louis, Zendaya, Hailee and the two body guards climb into a van, all of us on our way to the hotel that King has booked for us. That fucker by the name of Liam is still in the hospital so he won't be joining us.

Apparently he's in a coma or some shit. Oops.

Not like he will ever get the chance to be within the same vicinity of Lexi ever again, King doesn't like issues and he knows that there will be issues if I have to work with Liam after what he did so King is going to move him to work with Andy and Nick once he gets out of the hospital. Once and if.

Body guards you may be asking? Well, King doesn't trust the girls to not run away if they get the chance so the body guards are there to make sure that doesn't happen. They are also there for when the guys and I have to do the drug deal that King has sent us here to do. The girls wouldn't run away though, they know what the members of the gang are like. If someone escapes, they go to the ends of the earth to find them and then kill them. They are ruthless. Lexi wouldn't try to run away though... Right?

In other news, Lexi fell asleep on my shoulder when we were on the plane. I'm not too sure why I said that actually... Nevermind.

We arrive at the entrance of the hotel, all of us climbing out and getting our suitcases out of the boot of the car. I grab both mine and Lexi's and start walking towards the checking in desk. The rest of the group meets us at the desk, the clerk hands me three pairs of keys for the penthouse suite that we are all going to be staying in.

We reach the top floor after a very long trip in the lift. Lexi mumbled something about the music that was playing but I couldn't hear what she said exactly.

I put one of the keys into the lock and unlock the door, swinging it open and entering the suite first. We all pile into the suite, looking around us as we take in the massive suite. The pool table is the first thing I notice, I'll definitely be beating Niall and Louis at a game later.

To the left of the entertainment area is a huge kitchen and dining room table with around twelve seats.

"So, who's sleeping where?" Cara asks, looking between Lexi and I.

No one says a word. This is awkward. I don't know what Lexi wants to do; I mean I'm sure she doesn't want to sleep in the same bed as me but what if she does? I mean, we have slept in the same bed twice. I think the other night I might have asked her to sleep in my bed with me when I was super drunk, I'm not entirely sure though. I can't remember anything from that night so I don't really know what happened or what I said, I just hope I didn't say too much.

There are some things that she can't know.

I'm sure she would have said something if I did say something that I shouldn't have by now.

"Uhm, there are four bedrooms. I think they all have two double beds. So... it's whatever you guys want to do I guess..." I leave it at that and see what Lexi says.

"Margot and I will stay in a room together." Louis announces, with a closed lipped smile. I notice the small eye roll that Margot gives, I fucking hate that bitch. All she does is sit on her phone, there's a cap on it so it's not like she could contact anyone but she just likes to scroll on Instagram and twitter and shit. Poor Louis still likes her for some reason that I'll never understand.

"I want my own room." Zayn states, already walking up the stairs to find his room.

"I'm guessing you two will want to share a room?" Lexi asks the two bodyguards. They just stand quietly, side by side, with their sunglasses on and their arms crossed over their chests. Not a word from either of them.

"Well, it was nice chatting to you both..." Lexi jokes, causing me to exhale air from my nose in humour.

"Niall and Harry can share a room and then us four can share a room. We're all set then." Zendaya makes the decision that we all seemed to be hesitant about making. I can't help but notice the small look that Niall and Cara share. I need to ask him what is happening with the two of them. I can't help but feel disappointed with the decision myself for some reason.

**********

I walk into the club behind Niall, Lexi close behind me. The smell of cigarettes, weed, alcohol and sweat hits me almost instantly. We're only here for two nights so Louis and Niall said that we had to go out tonight since tomorrow will be spent on the drug deal.

We walk through a long and dark corridor that is filled with people hooking up. We reach the end of the corridor which leads to a large dance floor, on either side is sets of booths to sit in. There is a large bar placed on the back wall that has loads of people surrounding it.

"Let's find a booth." I yell to Niall over the music. He nods, striding towards one of the empty booths. There is a long table in the middle with couches on either side.

Niall sits down first, Cara sitting next to him. I sit down right after her. Lexi, Zendaya and Hailee sit on the couch across from us, the body guards stay standing by the entrance to the booth. Zayn decided to be a miserable fuck and stay in the suite so at least I don't have to deal with him tonight.

Cara and Niall leave to get us some drinks from the bar, whispering and giggling to each other like what they always do. They seem like they live in their own world together sometimes.

"Harry, don't you think Alexa looks pretty tonight?" Zendaya asks me out of nowhere.

I mean the answer is obvious, she looks beautiful. She's wearing black jeans and a white corset kind of top with her Doc Martins. She always looks pretty.

Kind of reminds me of the night that we met at the pub, she was wearing a type of corset top that night too. God, I love the way she looks in them.

"Of course she does." I reply to Zendaya, staring directly at Lexi when I reply.

She looks down at her hands and starts playing with her nails but she can't hide the blush and smile that creeps onto her face. I smile, ruffling my hair as a distraction to stop myself from staring at her.

Niall and Cara come bounding back with trays of drinks, way too many drinks but oh well. Niall hands each of us a drink that looks like a dangerous cocktail.

"Cheers to getting wasted in Vegas!" Niall yells causing everyone to cheer in agreement and down their drinks.

That had vodka and tequila in. A lot of vodka and tequila.

I glance at Lexi and see that her face is scrunched up in disgust. She hates vodka and tequila. I can't help but giggle at her reaction. She notices that I'm laughing at her and narrows her eyes, glaring at me playfully.

I didn't realise that she was drinking tonight. This is going to be interesting.
