Meet Me

We quickly arrive at the beach and I run out. I breathe in the salty air and a grin makes it's way onto my face. I grab my new bikini and run to a bathroom building. I strip down and put it on. I glance at the grimy mirror once before retreating back to the car and putting my clothes on my seat. I wrap myself in a towel, suddenly feeling subconscious of my body as I look around at all the model-like girls with perfect tans. Harry walks up behind me, now in his swim trunks, and puts his clothes in the car.

"What's up?" He asks. I breathe deeply.

"Nothing!" I say, a bit too happy to be believable. He cocks his eyebrow but let's it pass.

"let's swim!" He suggests. I beam.

"okay!"

We run to the ocean like a couple of kids. I realize that I still have my towel. I hesitate before unwrapping it and tossing it back with our stuff. I straighten out my swimsuit and run into the waves. The cool water laps against my heated skin. I smile and float on my back. Suddenly, more water gets pushed onto my face. I jump up startled. I see Harry looking around innocently.

"oh no! It is on like donkey kong!" I snap. I splash him and it only takes a minute for us to get into a full-on splash war. The ocean decides that our splash war is annoying and sends a massive wave to end it. We both wind up on shore gasping for breath and laughing. I stand up and stretch out my arms.

"I think I'm gonna tan a bit." Harry says.

"I'll join you." I say, thinking of my sickly pale skin. I lay out my towel and Haz hands me a pair of sunglasses. I thank him and lay out on the towel. My body happily soaks in the sun rays. After a few minutes, I flip onto my back. I begin to sweat and decide that I'm good for now.

"I'm gonna jump into the water for a second, then I'm going on a walk." I tell Haz. He murmurs his consent and I walk to the ocean. I jump in just to cool off then begin to walk down the shoreline. I watch the blue waves lick at the sand and drag it away, leaving a different layer exposed.

I suddenly get this feeling like someone is watching me, so I whip around. I catch myself staring into deep green eyes.

"Ermm, hi?" I say. The boy, or man I should probably say, in front of me just smiles a bright white smile. He looks about 18. He has quiffed up dark brown hair.

"Hey. Err, I'm Gavin. What's your name?" He asks.

"How do I know you aren't a stalker?" I counter.

"If I were, then why would I give you my name?" He shoots back. I laugh.

"Point taken. I'm Aurora. Nice to meet you." I say.

"Nice name. Pretty name for a pretty girl." He winks. "How old are you?"

"Fifteen, how about you?"

"Nineteen. Do you live around here?"

"Not too far away. What about you?"

"Same." He says. I hear Harry call my name. My cheeks blush a deep red.

"Sorry. That's my" I pause. "Brother. I have to go."

"Wait! Can I get your number?" He asks.

"Oh, uh sure!" I say. We switch phones and type in our contacts. Harry's yelling gets closer. We switch back.

"okay, I'll text you. Bye!" I say, running to Haz before he can embarrass me anymore.

"Harry! I'm right here!" I say. He smiles.

"What's his name???" He asks nosiliy. I gasp.

"You were spying?" I ask. He looks at me innocently. I groan.

"His name is Gavin. He is cute and I got his number." I say with a grin.

"How old is he?" He asks me with an eyebrow raised.

"19." I state.

"what?? Aurora, that's 4 years!" He says.

"Chill Haz! You're starting to sound like Louis!" I protest. He sighs.

"Well, go get changed. We need to head off to the surprise." He says. I grab my clothes and change in the bathroom. I walk back out and spot Gavin. He shoots me a wink and I smile back at him. I get into the car. Harry soon joins me, not failing to see Gavin and I's flirting. He starts up the car.

"Aurora?" Haz asks after we are well on our way.

"Yea?" I ask.

"Just... Be careful." He warns
