Holly's POV

"Anyone seen Harry?" A shirtless Liam strolls though the hotel door. 

"Nope, not since the movies," I reply "Have you seen my sunglasses?" I kick a t-shirt off the floor to see if my sunglasses are under it but I am greeted with dull grey carpet.

"They're in your backpack," Poppy shouts from the bathroom. Sure enough, I reach into my backpack and pull out my black ray-bans case. I take my sunglasses out and slide them on top of my head, and quickly tie my hair up into a bun. 

"Alright, ready?" Liam hurries. 

"Coming, coming." Poppy runs out of the bathroom with her long, blonde waves tumbling down her back. She's wearing a pink bikini top, and black tie bottoms. Her large black aviators slide down her nose as she sprays herself with perfume. Liam whistles.

"Niall will love that bikini." He comments. Poppy blushes.

"Thanks," She says self consciously, checking her bikini straps are straight before leaving the room. "I'll get the lift," She calls.

"I like your bikini as well Hols," Liam adjusts his red snapback.

"Yeah well." I mutter, adjusting the top of my black and gold bandeau. 

"After you," I walk out the door and into the lift, with Liam following closely behind. 

"What level is the pool?" I ask. 

"Ground." Poppy answers. The lift doors slide closed, then open again moments later. 

"Hey! Over here!" I hear Niall's familiar voice as we stroll into the pool lounge area. He bounds over to us before we can sit down and instantly his eyes lock with Poppy's. 

"Hi," She breathes. 

"Do you want to sit down?" He asks her, and before she can answer, he pulls her down onto his lap. 

"I ordered food," Louis remarks, leaning back on his pool bed. 

"What did you order?" Zayn asks, appearing out of nowhere. He sits next to me and squeezes my thigh as a hello.

"You'll find out soon enough mate," Louis retorts, and a waitress comes over. She places down a plate of simosas, a plate of spring rolls, and a bowl of hot chips. 

"Thank you," Everyone choruses. The waitress nods, and scurries away. 

"Excuse me love? Oh well never mind," Zayn tries to call out to the starstruck waitress, with no luck. A loud bang makes me jump. Everybody spins around to find a fuming Harry come out of the staircase.

"Hey mate," Louis says, but Harry storms right by him. He drops his towel on the pool edge and jumps into the pool, splashing everyone around me.

"Ugh," Zayn grumbles, he hands me a towel and I wipe myself dry. I look at Zayn.

"Want to swim?" I ask, and he eagerly nods, pulling me after him into the pool. The pool is a long rectangle shape, with an infinity edge. The water is warm, and Zayn and I play around for a bit before ending up at the end of the pool. I swing my legs up onto the edge and lay back, letting my body be immersed in the water, my hair flowing out around me.

"Will you come to dinner tonight?" Zayn blurts out, interrupting our pleasant conversation. I stand up and look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well everyone is going out for dinner tonight and I was wondering if you would come... with me." Zayn finishes, looking down at the pool water. I pause.

"I would love to," I reply, and Zayn engulfs me in a wet, warm hug. After a while, he releases me.

"I'm going to get out then. Want to come?" He asks, and I shake my head.

"No thanks I'll stay in a bit longer." My eyes travel down the other end of the pool to where Harry is swimming around moodily. Zayn lifts himself out of the pool and joins the group, leaving just Harry and I alone in the pool. Slowly, I swim over to the other end of the pool. I sit on the steps and look over the hotel, and after a while I feel a tugging on my foot. I dive underwater and find Harry. He releases my foot and grabs my hand, and we swim down to the other end of the pool, hidden by trees. Hee pulls me by my waist into his arms, and I wrap my legs around his waist. We stay there for a minute, looking into each other's eyes before he pulls me closer and under the water. As soon as I feel my lips connect with his, I melt into him. A noise above the water catches my attention and I break off the kiss. 

"Holly I'm going to get ready," I hear Poppy call.

"Oh I'll leave in a bit with the others then," I reply. 

"They're all gone," she calls back, and I make a quick decision.

"Alright, I'm coming," I shout and turn my attention back to Harry. His face falls, and he cups my cheek in his hand. 

"I pick you," He whispers.
