-Miranda's POV-

My room is colder then cold, it could be the feeling that my bed is empty or the furnace isn't working but whatever it was it could make Satin freeze to death. I pulled the covers up to my chin, a little to far that my toes started to peek out, and now my feet were cold. I pulled them back down and squirmed my body into a round ball, holding the covers tight to my body. I looked over at my alarm clock to see it was a bit past eleven. 

It took me by surprise that I had slept in that late, I was up all night thinking about this afternoon. If it would work and if my dad would by it. They weren't home right now, my dad was on his way back and Vivian at work. I had texted Vivian since my dads cell was shut off, and asked if a friend could come to dinner. Surprisingly she fell for it and agreed without even asking who? Maybe she was just happy that I was making more friends here in London.

I got out of bed slowly taking my hair out of the worn down elastic, and putting around my wrist for later use. My feet slithered out from under the covers as I folded them over closer to the wall. My feet touched the floor an unfamiliar feel running through my nerves. I wiggled my toes and firmly applied all pressure as I stood up. I threw my hands up in the air as a yawn left my mouth. I walked over to my laptop on my desk and flipped the screen open to see I had a couple notification on Facebook since I hadn't logged off of it the night before. 

A notification that Niall had tagged me in his new profile. We had taken this picture at the bowling alley after Niall got his first spare. We had asked the couple next to us to take it for us in front of the alley. They thought we were a couple and thought we were really cute together which then I had to explain were just friends. Noticing the picture now I had realized Niall's hand was a little too close to my ass as mine was on his back and you could see the points of my fingers on the side of his ribs. We were both smiling pretty big but Niall's a bit bigger then mine. The description read "first spare with Miranda Jenner-Olsen" where my name was highlights in blue. They're were a lot of likes in fact 126 likes. I had no idea that Niall was so popular. A lot of comments as well a lot of the guys saying "damn tap dat ass Niall." Or "Niall you lucky bastard" I laughed a every single comment and even liked the comment that Greg had left. "Clearly Niall is not getting any, cause he's not good enough for a girl like Miranda" which made me laugh. Greg comment finished with an lol and a jk. 

Greg was great reminded me a lot of Niall. And I was so happy to hear that he got married and has a son who I've seen many pics of in Niall's arms of pictures on his phone. Theo is one hell of a lucky baby, and super cute as well.

I shut the screen to my laptop logging off. I walked out of my room and across the hallway entering the bathroom, combing my knotty, messy, untamed hair. Pretty much ripping my hair out of my scalp. Then I scooped up some water into my hands from the running sink. I attempted to throw water in my face like those Proactive commercials, but it just wasn't working. Failure is what I call it, even though those videos are totally fake to make it seem like the products. Same with razor commercials. If you want to impress me shave a gorilla not hairless legs. Go big or go home.

After finishing up in the bathroom I walked back downstairs in the kitchen to find Moxie laying on the counter getting her hair all over the food in the fruit bowl. I picked her up and gently placed her on the ground as she slowly started to walk away shaking her ass of she was Queen of this household. She walked up stairs not to be seen for the rest of the day.  

I grabbed some bread and popped them into the toaster pulling down the handle and putting it on a low temperature. While waiting for it to be burnt, like usual. There was a knock on the door. I quickly scurried to the front door looking through the peephole. There was a person standing there but no face was shown since there was a vase of flowers in the way. I curiously opened the door to see a girlish figure standing there.

"Flowers for Ms. Miranda?" They asked in a high squeamish voice that almost seemed to fake to be real. 

"That would be me."

She handed me the flowers, and I was about to thank her when I realized this wasn't any ordinary flower delivery girl.

"Thanks- Perrie?"

There she was standing right there in front of me in some sort of a UPS outfit. "You like?" She asked pointing out her outfit.

"Yeah... Your not suppose to be here till later."

"Yeah I know, I just told the jackass of a boss that I was feeling sick. By the way I also dabble in the art of disguises."

"So I can tell."

I let her walk in behind me as I placed the vase of flowers on the counter. I noticed it held a note in between the petals of the lilacs which are my favorite flowers. I picked it up, it was in an unsealed envelope. 

I opened it up and read the note; See you soon xxx -H

"Harry sent them?" I asked looking up at Perrie who had already undressed from her disguise into a pair of red skinny jeans, black combat boots and a camouflage T-shirt. 

"Indeed."

Now I know why they were lilacs. I had told him once that they were my favorite, and it made me happy that he had remembered. I smiled big, sniffing the lilacs close up to my face. 

"Now stop having nose sex with the flowers, I need help."

"With what?" I asked.

"What do I need to do so your parents will like me?"

"Just be yourself."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

Of course she should, she should be herself. She reminded me a lot of Stella and my parents love Stella. Which reminded me I needed to return one of her calls these days, she called four times since I've been here and I haven't answered a single one, nor call her back. I'm a terrible friend, it's just that I've been awfully busy lately and I haven't had any free time with everything that's going on write now.

Note to self; call Stella back.

"How's Harry?" I asked

"Why is it never, how are you Perrie?" She asked laughing at her own sentence. I smiled and then answered her question.

"Sorry Perrie. Hi Perrie how are you?"

"I'm good a bit-"

"And Harry?" I asked interrupting her mid-sentence. 

"Good, better actually. A lot nicer since he's seen you."

*Later*

Both my father and Vivian were home and we were all sitting around the dinner table including Perrie. The seemed to be fond of her since they were laughing at all her jokes that were actually funny.

"Perrie you are quite the charmer." My father said wile pushing the food around on his almost empty plate.

"Why thank you Mr.Olsen."

I was more then happy that my father was pleased with Perrie. I mean she is quite the actress but her being herself is what really caught my fathers eye. 

"Father?" I asked he looked up and grabbed the napkin from off his lap to wipe his mouth.

"Mhmm?"

"Could I sleep over Perrie's for the week being since you'll be away?"

"I don't know. I mean Perrie you are wonderful and all bit I'm not sure if I feel safe quite yet. Since I don't know your parents."

"Actually you do." Perrie spoke up grabbing another roll from the center of the table and buttering it up.

"I do?"

"Yes don't you know Veronica and Michael Edwards?"

"Oh my! I had no idea they had a daughter!"

"I wouldn't expect you too. They don't talk much about anything, since they're to busy with work and all." She spoke of. Her phone went off ringing, and she excused herself. "Sorry, it's my parents." She then left the room.

"So dad? What do you say?" I asked tilting my head and giving the puppy dog eyes.

He sighed for a second and then let out a deep breath before answering my question. "Sure. She is a lovely lady. And since I know her parents who are wonderful people, you may."

"Thanks you so much!" I ran on the other side of the table and tackled him in a hug. I ran into the room where Perrie had walked in to take her mysterious phone call. She hung up the phone with a smile and I told her the greatest news I've heard in the longest time. "Hey nice cover up family."

"What are you talking about?"

"Being the Edward's daughter and all."

"I wasn't lying."

"Oh I had no idea-"

"It's fine really. That was Zayn and he's here to pick me up. So I got to go."

"Alright, I'll see you later?"

"Sunday?"

"Sunday."

"Can you give Harry this?" I asked her as I walked her to the door handing her a piece of paper.

"Sure."

-Harry's POV-

I waited patiently at the door walking back and fourth in pace, I was anteing with anticipation wondering if Scott had agreed to letting Miranda stay with Perrie. Well mostly me, yet he just didn't know that.

I heard a car door slam from the driveway and that's when I ran into the living room, jumping over and onto the couch to seem like I hadn't been waiting at the door all day. They walked through the door with both clueless looks not giving me any signal of what was going down. I slowly got up and approached them. "And the verdict is?"

Perrie smiled and reached into her coat pocket and handing me a small piece of torn white line paper.

Can't wait xxx -M
