2-Arrival
Harry's POV
Harry held on tightly to the armrest, feeling a little nauseous as the plane made a steep downward descent.
The wheels struck the runway with a loud thud and the plane was on flat ground again. Harry heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of flying as such but he was happy to be back on the ground instead of floating around miles high in the air.
Harry quickly took his suitcase from the cabin storage above and made his way to the front of the flight. People were already lining up to leave the aircraft, eager to get on with their own businesses.
Suddenly Harry heard what sounded like a child crying loudly behind him, it was a heart wrenching sound and made his heart melt...
Harry pushed his way to the back of the flight where he saw a little girl, not older than 3 years, crying in her mother's arms. Harry glanced at the woman who was trying desperately to quiten the weeping child. Harry held out his arms and asked the mother if he could hold the little girl. She smiled and handed the child over in relief.
As soon as the girl was lifted into Harry's arms, she looked at him, with surprise in her eyes, wondering who this strange man was with the pretty eyes and curls. She reached out a chubby hand and grabbed hold of one of his curls, Harry laughed at her and pulled a funny face, the little girl completely forgot the fact that she had been bawling her lungs out just a minute ago and let out an excited squeal. The child's mother looked at Harry with appraisal in her eyes. "You really have a way with children", she said smiling at him, "you'll make a great father one day". Harry blushed and smiled shyly..
He held the little girl in his arms until they got off the aircraft and she happily allowed herself to be held in her arms, playing with his curls and occasionally glancing at him with fascination in her little eyes.
The trio walked into the airport and Harry patiently waited while the girls mother collected her luggage.
"I'm really very grateful that you're doing this for me. I was in such a hassle I forgot to even ask your name son, hi I'm Lisa" she said with a smile on her tired face.
"I'm Harry, and it's my pleasure, I love children with all my heart and I'm glad I was able to help you out" Harry said in his sweet, down to earth fashion.
"So are you here on vacation or..?"
"No, I'm actually moving here, I haven't really thought about it much but I just needed to get away and I've always wanted to move to London so.."
"That's great love, I really admire how you're following your heart. So do you have an apartment?"
"Not really, I was hoping I'd find something once I reached here, I just needed to take the plunge"
"I wish you luck with finding your apartment love. Here's my number, if you need any help, feel free to contact me, I've lived here all my life and know a lot of useful people"
"Thank you so much, it means a lot, genuinely, I should get going now, thanks once again"
"Bye Harewh" the little girl, Emma yelled.
Harry's face lit up at the sound of her voice, "bye love, be a good girl" he said to her after kissing her softly on the cheek.
Harry looked around the alien city while he stood outside the airport. He had taken the plunge, he had made it to London, now came the difficult part. With night fast approaching, he had nowhere to go and he had to make arrangements soon...
