The Opening Act (H.S) {Completed - Editing}

Moving Around

@sugarscape: Look who came to visit the office this morning! @MissAvaMae stopped in to do an interview and her superstar boyfriend @Harry_Styles tagged a long. The interview will be online next week, keep your eyes peeled!

The last few weeks have been madness. A few days after going to Lacey's, I did some press. I did the Zach Sang show, I did Grace's podcast, I did Tyler's podcast, I did some other web and radio interviews. From there, it was back into constant rehearsal for the UK and Ireland tour, which tickets had just gone on sale for not too long ago. It starts up in two weeks, which is why Harry and I flew to London this morning. He starts filming soon so everything is about to get really crazy.

After a few days off in London (recovering from jet lag), my schedule became crazy again. My mom planned a bunch of press (heavy sigh of annoyance) all throughout the tour - more than I've ever done. I don't mind doing it, it's just so exhausting. One plus to it though is that it's easy vlogging material for my channel.

Harry decided he wanted to follow me around for the day, which of course I didn't mind. The first place we headed to was BBC Radio 1, where I'd be doing the morning show with Nick. Harry was excited to see him, far too excited for the time of day it was. The interview was so much fun, as I expected, and it was fun to have Harry there.

From there, we headed to YouTube headquarters. I did an interview and made a video with a few different UK YouTubers that had come to the YouTube space just to meet up with me. After I was done with that, we headed over to the Sugarscape office. Harry practically dragged me in there, hollering for Chloe. I've never met her before, but I know that she's really close with his whole family - especially Gemma. I ended up doing an interview with her and then we were rushed by my publicist onto the next thing.

We stopped by Buzzfeed for about an hour and then hit our last stop of the day. As we went into the Glamour offices, we were immediately whisked away to the dressing room where Rose and Gabbie are. They'd flown in yesterday, along with Victoria. Victoria had texted me what I wanted to eat when we were on our way here, so I assumed she was out getting food.

"So here's the thing, I brought you pinkish, purplish hair and they said you could wear it if you want. I know you were playing around in LA with the blonde, so I brought a color," Gabbie says. "You wanna do it? It'll only be for one round of shots, then you'll do natural hair."

"Uhm, absolutely yes! This is gonna be so cool," I smile excitedly.

"Alright, lets get started right away then, it takes longer for me to get you ready."

"Oh, I've just remembered... I have a surprise for you, babe," Harry says as we pull into the driveway of his London place. I look over at him suspiciously and he just smiles at me.

I grab his hand as I follow him inside. Confusion sparks inside of me when I hear voices coming from the living room. Harry hollers that we're home, which makes the talking stop. As we walk into the living room, we find the sources; Gemma, Lou, and Lux. Lux gets up from next to Gemma and runs over to us, immediately wrapping herself around Harry's legs as giggles fall from her mouth.

I watch with amusement as Harry pretends to be knocked over by her, acting very dramatic as he falls to the floor. She erupts into more giggles and throws herself onto his chest. He grunts, closing his eyes from the sudden force. By the look on his face, she'd knocked the wind out of him.

"Alright Lux, let's not beat him up too much," Lou says, laughing lightly as she walks over to us. Once Lux is off of Harry and Lou sees he's alright, she gives me a hug. "Good to see you, doll."

Gemma comes over and hugs me too, then the two of them try and drag me off to the couch. Before they do that, I excuse myself to change into something more comfortable than my jeans. Harry follows me up the stairs, but just removes his shoes and jacket when we get into the bedroom before he wanders back down the stairs. When I get down there, he's grabbed some wine and snacks and set them out for us. Lux is watching something on her tablet on the ground, not bothered by any of us.

Harry lays down on the couch across from where Gemma and Lou are sitting and then proceeds to tug me down onto the couch next to him. Gemma starts to ask all about the wedding plans so far as he snuggles up to me, looking at me with sleepy eyes.

"Have you guys picked decorations and colors and stuff like that already?"

"We've got our colors I think," I look at Harry smiling as he closes his eyes and rests his head against mine. "And as for decorations... I've been looking at stuff online but that's about as far as we've gotten. Nothing is really set in stone other than what we've reserved for tables and such."

"You two are going to have a stupidly pretty and perfect wedding," Lou huffs. "Sometimes you lot are so cute it really pisses the rest of us off, ya know? Like how you look right now, all cuddled up."

"It's disgusting," Gemma adds. "But also Instagram worthy, so don't move so I can take a picture."

"Pretty sure he's half asleep right now, so I couldn't move even if I wanted to."

"Even if I was fully awake, still wouldn't let you move," Harry mumbles sleepily. I laugh lightly, kissing his forehead. "Shouldn't have gone to Grimmy with you this morning, m'so sleepy."

"You love Nick too much to skip out on visiting him," I reply quietly.

"True, I suppose," he hums. "Also wanted to be there with you 'cause I love you."

"Love you too," I mumble back, kissing his head again.

"Alright Lux," Lou speaks up. "I take it back. Attack them all you want, they're being annoying now and ignoring us."

Lux looks up from her tablet with a look of confusion, clearly unsure of what her mom was on about. She asks a light 'what?' before Lou laughs and tells her to go back to her show. Lux seemed just about as tired as Harry, maybe it's nap time for the kids? I'm thinking I'll join them, if I'm completely honest.
