Chapter 27

"I brought a hammock," Keanna whispers. "We could hang it in the van."
"In the van?" I ask. "There's no enough space."
"We could just pop the roof," she says, shrugging.
"Pop... the roof?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows.
"Yeah," she says, separating from me. Then she looks at my confused expression and laughs. "You didn't know that the roof can be popped up?"
"No!" I exclaim, laughing.

She rolls her eyes and stands up, splashing me water. I laugh and do the same. We walk to the van and she enters. In a minute, she makes the roof to be popped up, leaving more space inside. I could now be almost standing.

"Now, hand me the hammock," she says while adjusting the roof, "it's in my backpack."

I nod and do what she says. I give it to her and she puts it rapidly.

"It won't fall, right?" I ask.
"Try it out," she says, smirking. She crosses her arms and admires her short job. I enter to the van and jump in the hammock with a little difficulty. I lay down and sigh.
"It's comfortable," I say, putting my arms behind my head.
"Hey, leave space for me," she says, laughing. She lays beside me and we stare at the roof.
"Are we really going to stare just at the roof?" I ask, making her laugh.
"I didn't think about that," she says, groaning, "ugh."

Keanna makes double work and now she places the hammock between two trees. We lay down finally and sigh.

"It is awesome sleeping in this thing when my family and I travel," she says, looking at a part of the sky, as the branches of the trees cover the other.
"At least now I know that the roof can be popped up," I say, making her to laugh.

And we keep staring at the sky in silence. I can see a slight mix of colors in it; sky blue, purple and light pink. The clouds today are small and form similar shapes. I can see the moon and the stars barely appearing. Keanna keeps a smirk in her face and her eyes glitter and move rapidly, following everything in the sky that is in movement. She sudddenly glances at me and smiles.

"Don't you like it?" she asks. "Looking at the sky?"
"It's great," I whisper.
"Did you know that when you look at the stars, some of them can already be death?" she asks.
"How's that possible?" I ask, frowning. "If I can see it, it means that it's alive, and shining."
"Some of them, some of them not," she says, smirking. "You see, some stars are so far away that it's longer to the light to get here. So, what you see is how the stars shone before."
"I get it," I say, amazed. "Talking about stars, there's a song about them."
"I bet there are many songs about them," she says, giggling.
"Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars," I sing in a soft voice. "I'm gonna give you my heart."
"Your voice gives me chills," she says, blushing.
"Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars," I continue. "Cause you light up the path."
"I don't care, go on and tear me apart," she sings. Her voice is sweet and harmonious. "I don't care if you do, ooh."
"Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars," I sing. She giggles quietly. "I think I saw you."
"Your voice is so sweet," she says, making me to blush.
"May I ask you... something?" I ask.
Keanna smiles and stares at me. "Of course," she says.
"After our hands touched on Friday, the first time we met, I felt warmth, safety. I felt good. And I mostly never feel that. But anyways, I thought it won't mean anything. That you could be just another cute girl. But no, you weren't, and I kept thinking of you that night. I saw you next day, and I went completely crazy for you. And I couldn't stop thinking. I couldn't stop feeling. Do you feel the same?"
She scans my face, surprised by my short speech. "Of course I do."
"Then, I can ask you the big question," I say. She blushes and looks at her hands. "But not here."

She frowns and I stand up. I grab her hand and make us run to the water. We both exclaim when we touch it, as it's still cold. She chuckles as I shiver. I put my hands in her shoulders so she stands still. She grins and stops moving.

I move my hands off and do the most corny thing ever; get in my knees. She laughs and turns away to look to the ocean. She puts a hand in her forehead, shaking her head.

"I can't believe you, Harry," she says, still laughing.
"Keanna," I say with a shaky voice, "could you p-please be the girlfriend of this f-freezing pop singer?"

She smirks and looks shyly at me.

"K-Keanna, I am really freezing," I say.
"I will be your girlfriend Harry," she says, laughing. Actually, she never stopped laughing.
"Now, help me standing up because my legs are petrified," I say.
"Neh," she says, shrugging. "I'll get on my knees, too."

She kneels in front of me, opening her mouth as water gets her more and more wet. When she's well kneeled, she smiles and kisses me. Her soft lips are so addictive to me. I follow the kiss back and she places her hands around my neck, and I place mine around her waist. She plays with some curls of my hair and I can't stop myself from blushing. This kiss seems more intense than our first. I feel my stomach struggling and my brain completely distracted, until some voices interrupt us. "Get a room!" Niall and Josie exclaim from somewhere.

Keanna and I laugh between kisses. We end up separating before we wanted and stand up.

"Where were you?" I ask. Niall and Josie enter to the water and stand beside us.
"We greeted Anna and Tanya," Josie says. "They work as lifeguards here!"
"Really? Since when?" Keanna asks, confused.
"Since today," Josie replies, laughing.
"Why?"
"Tanya met this guy ..."
"Ugh... again?"
"He seems gay," Niall says.
"I think it, too," Josie tells. "And I told Tanya but she doesn't cares."
"Oh, well," Keanna says, sighing. "So, what do we do, now?"

Just then, some bells ring somewhere. Josie and Keanna's eyes widen.

"Ice cream!" Josie exclaims, getting out of the water. "I'll get first."

Keanna laughs and runs behind Josie. They get to the ground and continue running.

"They are amazing, aren't they?" Niall says, letting out a whisper.
"Of course they are," I say, smirking. I bite my lip, suddenly wanting to kiss Keanna again.

✩ ✩ ✩

"Don't touch me! My skin hurts!" Tanya exclaims to Keanna. Keanna laughs and then starts poking her friend's arm, making her to groan.
"Why you didn't wear a sunblock?" Niall asks, trying hard not to grin.
"Anna didn't tell me it was necessary!" she exclaims, dropping herself in the van and groaning again.
"I didn't need to tell you! It was obvious!" Anna exclaims.
"I just want a burger now," Tanya says with her face sticked to the van's sofa. "Can we go to McDonald's?"
"I can't, I'm sorry," Keanna says, smirking sadly.
"Me neither," Josie replies.
"Then it will be Anna, the One Direction boys and me," Tanya says, happily.
