Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 26

"Look who finally arrived!" Keanna exclaims, standing up from one of the chairs of the hotel's reception.
"Sorry, we were buying snacks," Niall says, smiling. "Do you like peanuts?"
"Yeah, I love them," Josie replies while Keanna smirks.
"Ha! Alex was right!" Niall exclaims.
"Alex?" Josie asks.
"Uh... it's a friend we made," I say.
"And he was right with his percentages," Niall says, opening his peanuts.
"Percentages?" Keanna asks, laughing.
"Let's get going," Josie says. "This seems a little confusing."

Niall and Josie walk happily toward the entrance, sharing some peanuts. Keanna puts on a white backpack she brought and her sunglasses. She's wearing a pastel pink top, blue jean shorts, blue toms, and a plaid shirt tied around her waist. She looks at me and grins.

"Now I can say hi," she says.
"Hey," I reply, laughing.
"How have you been in the last... hour?" she says, laughing with me.
"I have been incredibly fine," I say. "Not like Niall. He has been nervous all the day all the way to the top to the tenth power."
"Wow," she whispers.
"I know."
"And haven't you been nervous?"
"Me?" I ask. "No. And if you want to know why, it's because you make me feel relaxed and comfortable. Happy."

She blushes and looks to the ground. She pushes a lock of hair behing her ear, showing golden earrings. Her smiles remains wide, making her cheeks even redder.

"You need to stop being so adorable, Keanna," I say.

"Show me the map again," I say for the sixth time already to Niall.
"Harry, we can explain the directions to you," Keanna says, laughing.
"No! It's a surprise!" I exclaim. "Show me, Niall."

Niall shows me the screen of his phone. The GPS app Niall has shows the way to the beach, but everything looks so confusing. The turn it mentions isn't were it is supposed to be, and the places around here aren't the same as they are shown. I furrow my eyebrows and Niall sighs, locking his phone with his free hand. He mouths something with his lips, which I understand immediately.

"Let's talk to Siri," he means.
I nod, smiling. "Oh! Low fuel! We need to go to a gas station."
"Look! There's one there," Niall says, pointing to the right side of the street. I nod and drive to the station, which is called Chevron. I get down and help Niall putting the gasoline in the van.
"Girls, we gotta go to the restroom," I say as we finish.
"Really?" Josie asks, frowning.
"Really," Niall lies.
"We will wait you," Keanna says. "But go fast."

We run to the restroom and Niall unlocks his phone. He keeps pressed the home button until Siri appears.

"Where is the nearest beach?" he asks. I shake my head. "No! Ugh..."
"The nearest beach park is Bayfront Park, located 0.3 miles away," Siri says.
"Siri, tell me how to get to Onekahakaha Beach Park," Niall says loudly.
"Hmm... getting the directions," Siri says. Then, automatically, Google Maps opens again and Siri closes.
"Why didn't you used Google Maps instead of that app you had?" I ask, frowning.
"I forgot I had Google Maps in my phone," he says, laughing. We go out of the restroom and run to the van.
"Let's get going, I am impatient," Josie says, smiling. "I want to know the surprise!"
"You will know it in seven minutes," I say. "Six minutes if there's no traffic."
"Wow, a talking map," Keanna says, laughing. Niall and I get onto the van and I start driving. He sits as my co-driver while Keanna and Josie sit comfortably in the large back sofa.
"Let's pl..." Keanna starts.
"You want to play a game, don't you?" I ask, grinning.
"Now that I notice it, almost everytime you and your friends get in the van, we play some sort of game," Niall says.
"Let's play another one," she replies.
"Uh... guess the song," Josie gasps, getting out her phone. "I'll play songs with iTube, you need to guess which it is. The first to guess it in each round will get a... a..."
"Chocolate," Niall says, searching something in his backpack. He then grabs a bag with small Hershey's Bites and hands it to Josie.
"I love chocolate," Keanna says, licking her lips. "Harold, Niall, prepare yourselves to be defeated."
"I can win you," I say, looking to her, "and I will."
"This talk is way to serious for a game," Niall says.
"Harry! Eyes on the road, not on Keanna!" Josie exclaims.
"Okay," I say, rolling my eyes and turning my head to see the road.
"Ready? Three... two..." Josie says. She plays the song. I seem to recognize it's happy start as one of the top songs of some years ago.
"Little Talks by Of Monster and Men!" Keanna shouts, rapidly. As Niall and I remain quiet, she laughs.
"Yes!" Josie exclaims. She opens the chocolate bag and gives a small brown chocolate to Keanna. "Another one."

I don't recognize the start of the song, but I do know the beautiful female voice.

"Video Games, by Lana del Rey," I say.
"Yes!" Josie exclaims. She hands me the chocolate and I immediately put it in my mouth. It's bitter but sweet taste is simply lovely.
"No!" Niall cries out, shaking his head.
"It's okay, you have more opportunities," Keanna says, laughing.

Josie plays another song. This one is more active.

"Oh! Bangarang!" Keanna exclaims.
"Keanna!" Niall exclaims, laughing.
"You heard me," Keanna says, "I love chocolate."

We continue guessing a couple of songs until we see the park's sign.

"Oh! We are going to the beach!" Josie exclaims, laughing.
"Yes, we are," Niall says. "Surprise!"
"Onekahakaha Beach," Keanna says. "I missed this place."
"We haven't come here since... our freshmen graduation?" Josie asks.
"Yes," Keanna says. "That time, Ethan drank a couple of beers way to fast and while he was swimming, something happened that made him almost drown."
"And who saved him?" Niall asks.
"Anna did," Josie says. "He says that when he opened his eyes, and saw her, he felt something for her."
"Aw," I say. "How romantic."
"Like what you did for Keanna this morning," Josie and Niall say at the same time while I park the van. I smile and feel like I am blushing.

✩ ✩ ✩

I am already wearing my swim shorts as well as Niall, though the girls remain wearing their normal clothes. As well as Coconut Island, there's a part pf the beach which has grass and picnic tables. The other part is where we can swim, though it's in a low level, so we can surely be standing up.

A rock bridge goes further inside to the natural pools, and in its middle, there are some stairs made of the same material descending to the water. The clear and light blue water sparkles, reflecting the shiny sun on it.

Niall grabs Josie's hand, making her to walk with him near the water. I walk with Keanna, too, but we go to the opposite site, where the stairs and a small, red lifeguard house are located. We sit in the first step of the rocky stairs, making our legs to get wet inside the water.

"It's cold," Keanna says, shaking dramatically in my right side. I put an arm around her and pull her closer to me. She lays her head in my shoulder and smirks.
"Better?" I ask. She nods and laughs.
"You are really warm," she says, laying one of her hand in one of my knees.
"Don't you feel warm when you blush?"
"Uh... yeah?"
"Then I will make you blush."
"Don't you dare, Styles," she says, laughing.
"You are so beautiful," I say. She stays wrapped beneath my arm. "Your eyes are simply so catchy that when I look at them I can't look toward any other thing."
"Harry," Keanna says, laughing.
"I haven't finished!" I exclaim. "I like it when you paint your nails golden because they match your beautiful blonde hair, as beautiful as Rapunzel's. Your smile is really pretty and I want to see it everyday."
"Oh my gosh," she whispers, laughing.
"And I know I said earlier this evening that you need to stop being so adorable but I don't really want you to; I really love that," I say. "And I love you."

I feel how her face which is resting in my shoulder turns warmer. She plays with her fingertips and I know she's smiling widely.

"Harry," she says, "I love you, too. You drive me crazy."
"No, I don't," I say. "You were already crazy before you met me."
"Oh well, that ruined the moment," she jokes, laughing.
"But that's another thing I love about you," I say. "You are not common. You are crazy."

Keanna raises her head to see my eyes. Her eyes sparkle as she smirks.

"And the way your eyes sparkle everytime you are truly happy," I whisper, "is wonderful."

She laughs and gets closer to me, resting her forehead in mine. Her breathe smells like mint. And her lipstick tastes like chocolate when she finally kisses me.

"Chocolate lipstick?" I ask, separating our mouths a little. "You gotta be kidding me."
"You don't like it?" she asks.
"Of course I do," I say. "Please wear it everyday."
"For making our kisses sweeter?"
"They are already enough sweet because of you."

Harry so lovely 😍 I was so damn inspired because of Valentine's Day.

Oh my gosh, I love chocolate lipsticks! I got one and when I wear it, I can't wear it more than 10 minutes because I eat it! And I am not a chocolate lover u.u

Thanks for reading and sorry for not updating fastly 😅 I'll surely update every weekend.
