Lads Holiday

19

The group were now in the taxi heading out to a pub, Harry, ella, lux, jj and cal in one and the rest in another one.

Harry was holding Ella's hand while Ella fiddled with her new necklace

"ay Ells that's a nice necklace how come we've never seen it before" cal smirked knowing fine well harry bought her it today

"aw thank you, harry got me it actually" ella smiled leaving the necklace alone and smiling at harry

"boggooooo good choice lad" lux laughed fist bumping harry

harry giggled and returned the fist bump "thanks lad" he mumbled

"you two together yet?" jj asked looking up from his phone

"what?" harry replied

"i said are you two together yet?" jj repeated

"aw yeah" he replied as casual as ever

"well in" jj laughed going back to his phone

the boys celebrated for harry but he just acted as calm as ever, trying not to make a big deal of it, he squeezed ella's hand lightly and she smiled at him.

They finally arrived to a pub big enough to sit the big group and headed inside to see the rest of the group were already there.

They took their seats and chatted away.

"what would you like to drink?" harry asked ella

"uh just a orange gin lemonade please" she smiled

"okay doke" he gave ella a kiss hoping nobody noticed

"oi oi" lux called out as harry pulled away

"shut it" he spat back at lux

Ella felt her face go red as harry walked over to the bar to get their drinks

"Hi Ella, you got something to tell me?" Talia whispered to ella who was sitting beside her

"uhh yeah harry asked me to be his girlfriend" ella whispered back "don't make a big deal out of it yeh"

"about time to be honest, i'm happy for you though ella, i can see he makes you happy" she smiled hugging ella

The group had dinner and some more drinks, chatting about the amazing holiday they've all shared, gutted to be going home.

It was around 11pm when they decided it's bed time and they all piled out and into taxis home.

Ella decided to go with Talia this time, leaving Harry to get in the other taxi.

In Ella's taxi was Simon, Talia, Josh, Vik, Tobi and Freya and the other one was Lux, JJ, Harry, Ethan and Cal.

The ride home was quiet, just small talk between the boys while Talia slept on Simon's shoulder. Ella had her eyes closed listening to the world around her.

They finally made it back to the villa and all headed inside and up to their rooms, calling good nights as they went into each room.

"You staying with Harry or me tonight, Simon's in here" Talia smiled as they got to their door

"uh lemme go see" ella walked over to harry who was just coming up the stairs

"hi" he smiled

"hi, simons sleeping in my room tonight, can i stay with you? Cal could go with Jj?" ella asked nervously

"yeah course, Cal might moan though"

"cal might moan about what?" cal asked coming up behind Harry

"ella has to sleep in our room as simon's in hers, you wanna sleep in ours or with Jj?" harry asked

"oh for fuck sake, jj snores i'm sleeping in my own bed, just no shagging eachother" cal laughed walking past and into his room

"that'll be that then" harry laughed

It was just them two left in the hall

Harry wrapped his arms around Ella pulling her into a tight hug and kissing her on the forehead

Ella felt at peace, warm and somewhere happy, she didn't want to leave his embrace ever.

"right i'll go get pyjamas on" ella smiled

"nah just wear my clothes you'll look cute" he giggled nervously

"okay" ella laughed

They headed into Harry's room, he grabbed her a pair of clean boxers and one of his t-shirts and she got changed in the bathroom, fixing her hair up too.

When she came back out harry was in the bed on his phone, topless and he looked good. He looked so innocent

He smiled as he realised she came out and patted the space next to him.

Ella headed over and got herself comfy and cuddled into him closing her eyes instantly

He kissed her forehead and placed his phone down, cuddling ella in closer

The pair fell asleep pretty quickly
