The Opening Act (H.S) {Completed - Editing}

Shopping & Sticky Situations

The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of the zipper being undone on our tent. Harry was sound asleep next to me, so I glanced over to see who it was.

"Raina, go away," I mutter. "It's too early."

"It's nearly nine, you butthead. Also, did you guys really need to bring that many pillows? Geez."

Harry stirs from next to me and a sigh falls from his lips as his hands search for me. Once he finds my waist, he pulls me towards him. I kiss his nose and Raina makes a gagging noise.

"You two are disgusting. Breakfast is ready, if you want some. Or you can stay in here with your fifty pillows. Up to you."

She closes the tent and I turn to Harry. "Good morning, handsome," I mumble quietly.

"Morning, beautiful," he mutters back.

I run my hand over his cheek and chin and his eyes close again. He hums and snuggles further into the pillows.

"I know, I need to shave."

"No," I dismiss his comment. "I like your stubble. It's hot."

He smirks and looks at me with his tired green eyes. "Well, good. Cause now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I forgot my razor."

I laugh lightly and give him a kiss before I stand up to get myself put together. I brush my hair and slip some sweats on along with some shoes. Harry gets up slowly after me and pulls on some sweats. I steal one of his zip up hoodies and then wander out of the tent, Harry right behind me. He grabs my hand in his, winding our fingers together. We go over to my parents' campsite and my mom comes over to us with a huge smile on her face.

"Good morning, you two! I've made all sorts of stuff, help yourselves. We're all heading to Seaside after we're done getting ready, feel free to join us."

I glance at Harry and he nods. "Sounds fun."

We eat breakfast and then head to the showers. Once everybody is all dressed and ready to go, we split up into two cars. Harry and I go with my parents. It takes over an hour to get there, so once we pull into the main strip I get really excited. We haven't made the trip to Seaside on the last two trips to Oregon, so it's been quite awhile.

"Feel free to go do whatever you want. We're all meeting for lunch by the carousel inside at one."

I nod and drag Harry out of the car once we park. He yanks my hand back, making me slow down.

"Slow down, babe. We have all day."

I smile sheepishly and he kisses my cheek. "Sorry. I love this place."

I walk slower after that, going towards the strip of shops. I take him into the first shop, which is a clothing shop. It's the kind of place where you can buy shirts with logos on it and even get the one's you choose printed onto a shirt. I end up buying a Seaside sweatshirt (only after making fun of Harry because they had One Direction shirts there and the pictures they used are from, like, 2011).

We go into another shop that's an old candy shop. You can buy candy that they sell on shelves now and you can get candies that you can't find very many places anymore that used to be huge. The store had all of these cool soda bottles, too. Harry was super fascinated by everything that they had (he also bought a ton of candy, but that's not the point).

We met up with Raina and John at the beach and walked down to the aquarium. John tried desperately to get onto my back for a piggyback on the way, but eventually he nearly falls over the wall along the sidewalk so he gives up. When we're all together, usually we all get really weird and start doing the most random shit. But we're family, it's what we do. Raina seemed kind of out of it, but she just looked tired. I know the first night of camping is always the hardest for trying to fall asleep.

Eventually Harry and I wander off on our own again, dropping our bags in the car before heading down the beach towards the water. Harry swings our hands as we walk, getting closer and closer to the water. We'd both already taken our shoes off, so we didn't really mind when a wave splashed against our toes. He dropped my hand and swung his arm over my shoulder instead. I lean into his side and tilt my head up to look at him. His sunglass covered eyes are looking out at the horizon, but when he notices me staring he glances at me.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"Nothing," I shake my head and smile at him. "I'm just super happy that you're here with me."

He smiles and reaches down to kiss me. "I am too."

"Remember that one time that you threw a pie at me?"

I turn around and John is holding a gooey marshmallow really close to me. "Yeah, and I'm terribly sorry and it was a complete accident."

"Well, you see... I never got revenge."

My eyes widen and I squeal as I jump up. He chases me clear back to Harry and I's campsite, where Harry is crawling out of the tent after changing into warmer clothes. Instead of hitting me in the face, John smashes it right in the middle of Harry's face. Harry stands there in complete shock and my hands go up to my face to cover my mouth and contain my laughter.

"Oh my god. John!"

"That was totally meant for you, Ava! Harry, I'm so sorry bro."

Harry turns to me with a glare and I start backing up away from him. "Harry, baby," I smile. "Why don't we head to the bathroom and I'll help you clean up, yeah?"

He grabs my waist and pulls me roughly against his chest. He flips my hair behind my shoulders before he smashes his lips against mine. Any other day I'd be fine with the gesture, but I could feel the sticky marshmallow getting all over my face and quite frankly, I was kinda pissed about it.

I shove him back, glaring at him while he smiles proudly. My mom comes over looking for us and doubles over in laughter when she sees us. I wipe part of the marshmallow off of Harry's face and smash it in Johns face when he's trying to explain the situation to my mother.

My mom takes our picture and John heads off to get a wet washcloth. Harry and I had a lot more on our faces, so I grabbed a towel and we headed over to the restroom. We went into the family restroom and Harry leaned against the wall while I got the towel wet.

I clean Harry's face off carefully, making sure to get all of the sticky marshmallow off. He takes the towel from my hands after I'm done and cleans me up.

"Well, that was interesting."

I laugh lightly. "He was trying to get revenge on me. I never meant for it to hit you."

"S'alright," he shrugs. "I got you back."

"Yeah, about that. How about," I put the towel in the sink and I wrap my arms around his shoulders. His hands go to my hips and he pulls me against his body. "We give that a shot without the marshmallow?"

He smirks and puts his lips against mine softly while he mumbles. "I like the way you think."
