Touch (Z.S) (Rewriting)

Chapter 36.

Zayn and I woke up early in the morning for the beach. We were going with the entire group, or as Niall calls it, squad. Zayn and I were in charge of bringing drinks. Zayn closes the cooler, a smile on his face. He seemed proud now that he knew how to swim but he probably wouldn't get in the water unless Louis or I got in the water with him.

"Let's go!" I hop up and down excitedly

Today, I wore yellow swimming shorts and a plain black t-shirt. Zayn was wearing dark grey swimming trunks with a black t-shirt too. I squint my eyes at him and he raises an eyebrow in confusion.

"One of us is going to have to change." I say in a serious tone

Zayn looks a bit scared until I start laughing, not being able to keep my serious act up.

"Alright lets go now." I playfully smack his bum, picking up the backpack with was filled with our towels and sun screens.

...

We were the last ones to arrive. Luckily for us, we found our squad right away. Squad. What a weird word.

Zayn sets the cooler under the tent and I set our backpack right next to it. I go to greet everyone and of course Niall is first. After I've said hi to everyone, I take my shirt off and sit on the warm sand. Zayn has a conversation with Louis.

"So, how's Louis treating you?" I nudge at Niall, giggling

Niall lets out a happy sigh before he starts talking,

"He treats me like a prince. He even tried to cook for me, although he burnt the food, it was still cute. He makes me feel like I'm the only boy in the world." He giggles

I should give Louis cooking lessons. Just to surprise Niall in the future. I can teach him, maybe help him set up a dinner, and then there's a romantic dinner. Of course I'll leave before Niall gets there. As I'm in thought, Niall rambles on about how amazing Louis is and how funny he is. I swear, Louis can breath and Niall will start dying of laughter.

Suddenly, Luke comes running, all wet. Of course, he was wearing a t-shirt and his swimming trunks. "Harry!!!" He almost hugs me but realizes he's soaking. I hesitate but in the end, I pull him into a tight hug.

We hold up a conversation for a couple of minutes before we decide to play a game of volleyball. Niall didn't want to play but I ended up convincing him to play. It was team Styles-Horan-Hemmings against team Malik-Tomlinson. It was obvious who was going to win. The team with people who don't work out much or even at all or the team with people who are actually in shape? But who knows, they might just really suck at volleyball.

I serve the ball first and we keep the ball going until Luke hits it over, knocking it right passed Zayn. Luke, Niall and I do a victory dance, celebrating. After that's over, we continue the game.

After a while it was 4 to 4. The rule was whoever reached 5 first wins. We were doing good until Niall zoned out and got hit with a ball. It was obvious who hit him because Louis came running to Niall's side, holding him as if he just shot him.

"Niall, are you okay? Jesus christ, I didn't mean to hit you Niall!" Louis holds him close

Niall continues to rub his head where he got hit, but suddenly he grabs Louis' wrists and pins him down on the sand. Niall starts laughing and Louis stares up at him in shock, his cheeks pink. Niall giggles before pressing his lips against Louis'. At first it was cute but they continued to kiss with more... passion. I grab the ball, throwing it at Niall so it hits him on the head.

"Hey, lovebirds, I don't think you know this but we're in public, around people and children.. And you're literally having sex." I tell them once they pull apart

"Anyways. Team Malik-Tomlinson wins." I chuckle, ruffling Louis' hair before walking over to Zayn, "wanna get in the water?"

Zayn thinks for a bit before nodding slowly. I take his hand before running to the water. I stand so the water is up to my ankles. Zayn was a bit behind me, our fingers still intertwined. I look off in the distance, seeing Liam and Alex playing in the water. I smile at the two, especially at the huge smile on Liam's face.

The sun shines on my face, the smell of salt filling my nose. I play with the sand beneath my feet, looking across at the body of water. I rush into the water until the water is up to my mid-thigh, Zayn's lower hip. A wave crashes against our bodies, pushing us back a bit. To get Zayn comfortable, I held him by his waist when the waves crashed against us.

It was all cute and romantic until a wave caused me to fall off balance. I brought Zayn down with me. Either way, he was going down but at least I knew he was closer since my hand barely slipped away from him.

When I get up from the water, Zayn bursts up right after, coughing. He swallowed water. After helping him get closer to the shore where the waves wouldn't be as strong.

Finally, he stops coughing and he punches my stomach quite hard. I grunt, clutching my stomach.

"Zayn what was that for?" I groan

"For letting me fall!" Zayn chuckles, letting out another cough

...

We stayed for a bit, went back to eat, hung out. We hung out until dark and then we started a fire, roasting marshmallows. We were listening to music and talking. I bite into the s'more I put together, my head against Zayn's shoulder. I watch everyone around me.

Niall was sitting between Louis' legs, Alex and Liam were talking and eating marshmallows, Luke was talking with Ashton and Michael. This time with all my friends and especially Zayn made me grateful.

I wipe my mouth clean and close my eyes, snuggling closer to Zayn. The fire keeps me warm although it was pretty warm out. I press my lips against his neck, wrapping my arms around him.

Right when I thought today wouldn't get any better, Zayn whispered into my ear,

"Dinner tomorrow at 6 sound good?"

"Yeah, sounds good" I look up at him

"Great. Hoping you would say that, I already made reservations so you can't say no anyways" Zayn says playfully, kissing my cheek

"What makes you think I would say no?" I chuckle

Zayn shrugs and we sit in silence for the rest of the night, holding each other like someone was going to take us apart.

...

...
