Tiny Dancer

Chapter 29 - my bubby

Harry's POV.

I woke up with Luci's warm, tanned arms around my waist.

"You still love me then?" I mumbled in my groggy sleep voice as I turned over to face her.

"Course I still love you.'' She spoke groggily, also in a morning voice.

"Good, I love you too," I smiled as I played a kiss on her forehead and pulled her into me.

"Please delete her number though." She mumbled against my chest.

"No Luci." I said sternly as I ran my fingers down her back.

"But-" she started, but I cut her off.

"No. I'm not.'' I tensed slightly and she went to pull away but I kept her into me.

"Let me go Harry." She pulled away again but I'm a lot stronger.

"Harry please just let me go." She whined as she squirmed against me.

"Why?" I murmured into her long blonde locks.

"Because I don't want to cry in front of you now let go.'' She said a little less strongly.

I felt a pang in my heart. "Why do you want to cry?" I whispered.

"Because she makes me feel inadequate and ugly and maybe I'm not good enough for you. Now let go so I can go cry in the bathroom and then come out like nothings wrong," she stated.

"Luci you're none of those things, if it makes you feel like that I'll delete it." I whispered as I stroked my hands up and down her back, I didn't know that she felt like that. She's just perfect for me.

''Thank you." She mumbled into my chest and she relaxes her body so she was no longer restraining but just letting me hold her.

"You're welcome, anything for my bubby." I whispered into her ear as I gently kissed it.

"What should we do today?" She yawned.

"The boys want to go to the water park I think." I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Great," she sighed.

She's being really funny about wearing a bikini or revealing clothing at the moment, it is starting to worry me.

"Lu, why are you being weird at the moment?" I asked as I got out of the bed to check my phone that was on charge on the dresser.

"I see how you boys look at girls, and how you rate them out of ten on their appearances and how you call certain girls things." She ran her fingers through her hair and brought it up into a messy bun.

"Luci, it's only banter!" I laughed.

"To you maybe." She smiled small and shrugged before disappearing into the bathroom.

A FEW HOURS LATER AT THE WATER PARK.

"She's a seven." Louis announced, pointing to a pretty red head in a black bikini.

"Nah! I'd give her a six." Niall disagreed.

I heard Luci sigh heavily, getting bored and fed up already. I slowed down my steps until I caught up with her.

"You look gorgeous in that bikini." I whispered as I nuzzled my face into her shoulder where I placed a kiss.

"You're only saying that so I don't get pissed at you treating innocent girls like absolute shit. How do you think they would feel if they heard you guys say this bad stuff about them? Do you not realise how fucking self conscious girls are about their bodies? And how hard it is for them to walk around in bikinis? Or how the majority of girls diet for months before coming on holiday so they look nice in a swimsuit?'' She fumed quietly. I just stared back, absolutely flabbergasted.

"Look, I'll prove my point. Look at her, she's got her arm over tummy, that girls trying to make her shorts cover some more, that girl over there is making sure nobody is watching before she changes. Do you not notice this stuff?" She asked, pointing at random girls, who all, in Luci's defence, looked uncomfortable and self conscious.

"I never really took any notice." I admitted, feeling incredibly guilty.

"Well, now you do." She shrugged as she continues walking.

"Ew, a three at a push!" Liam squirmed and Zayn nodded.

"Shut up!" I sort of shouted, they all turned and looked at me funny.

"Just shut up, shut up, shut up! Stop being judgemental! She could be the nicest, most interesting girl on the planet but you wouldn't know because you judged her solely on her looks!" I fumed.

"You've changed your tune!'' Louis laughed.

"No! I've just been thinking about it! You wouldn't like it if someone was doing that to your sisters or your mum! Or Hollie or Luci or Bayleigh so why the fuck is it okay for you to do it to girls who you don't know!" I shouted, they looked at me funny and walked away, I heard a faint clapping from behind me, I turned to see Luci standing behind me grinning.

"That was amazing Harry," she smiled as she wrapped her arms around me tight.

"You made me see sense, boys always complain how girls are 'too self conscious' but then they wonder why!" I explained as I ran my fingers up and down her spine.

"I love you." She mumbled as she pressed her lips gently against mine.

I kissed back passionately and whispered I love you too.
