-And I can't live without you now, Oh-oh, I can’t even live with myself.

You're a beautiful woman. You deserve a beautiful life. - Water for Elephants.

Summer Lowal

I couldn't help myself as we left the jet, Harry's hand in mine, the slight warm air biting at my skin. But my hand was warm, in the good way from Harry's, and so was my heart. A smile played on my lips as we walked into the airport, checking out, our luggage being brought behind us. Small glances were shared throughout the process of so. A black range rover waited for us outside the airport, both Harry and I sitting in.

"So, are you going to tell me where we are, it's bloody hot." I told him with a smirk. Harry grinned and pecked my jaw, gazing into my eyes.

"Barbados," the country's name rolled off his tongue smoothly and I punched his arm playfully with a faint smile on my lips. He let out a small 'ow' rubbing his arm with a glimmer in his eye.

"I told you nothing-"

"I know. But I can't take you to a goddamn dumpster as a trip, Miss. Lowal," I scoffed muttering profound words. He continued to grin sheepishly at me throughout the entire ride.

"I can't believe we're in the Caribbean," I said in disbelief as we stepped out of the car, walking towards the very cozy looking hotel. The sun beated warmly onto my skin and I shut my eyes. I felt Harry's hand on my lower back.

"You deserve the world, and I'd lose my last breath giving it to you," my heart swelled automatically with more feelings for this man. I opened my eyes to look into his that were already gazing down at me. A soft smile was on his plump lips.

"Stop with the mushy shit," I blurted with a faint smirk. His cheeks tinted and I shook my head.

"It's-it's," he stuttered with frantic eyes. I giggled softly at his behavior.

"I'm only teasing, Styles," his eyes softened and he scolded me.

We begin to walk up the stairs, which were white, and walked down the long hallway. There were trees here and there in pots, at each corner. Everything was beautiful here, I couldn't remember the last time I got a good feeling of natural warmth.

Our luggage was carried behind us, Harry tipping the man. I smiled softly at his kind gesture.

He pulled a key out of his pocket and I furrowed my eyebrows. "You have a room here already?" He looks at me briefly and nods.

"Yes, I've been here before, I practically own this hotel," shocked by his words I stay quiet with a purse of my lips. I walk in, amazed at how lovely the room was, and how spacious it looked. There was a huge king sized bed far off, in front of a balcony, a kitchen in the corner, two bathrooms and a goddamn living room, as we walked through.

I stayed quiet and observed the room with awe.

"Do you like it?" He asks. I turn to him, taking off my shoes and nodding with a smile.

"It's lovely, but too much,"

"Nothing's ever too much for you," I narrowed my eyes but ignored his smirk.

I sit on the couch near the huge glass table and put my feet underneath me. My dress was getting slightly uncomfortable and I was tired from the trip.

"We should rest a little and then go out and eat," Harry smiled softly and nodded. He kicked off his shoes and jacket, sitting beside me. I let my feet lay in his lap, Harry's hands massaging my ankles. The atmosphere was relaxing and it was quiet. I enjoyed it in that moment. His dimple was slightly faint as his eyes were fixated on his hands rubbing gently. His cross tattoo caught my eye and I looked back at his face.

"Harry?" I murmur quietly. He hums in response and looks up with a soft features.

I took in a shaky breath as his bright green eyes gazed into mine, his plump lips were pouted and his eyebrows were furrowed.

My heart pounded harshly against my chest and I felt it in my throat.

"I-I really can't thank you enough," I let out, looking down at my hands. I fiddle with my thumbs and suddenly feel a finger under my chin, tilting my view to face him.

His eyes were intentive. "Why are thanking me, Summer?" I pout my lips and shrug my shoulders with a sheepish smile.

"I was treating you like shit, yet you stayed. You try your best to make me happy, and-and I'm greatful someone tries hard enough for me, I guess that's why I'm thanking you." He exhaled a breath, the minty-ness entering my nostrils. I hadn't noticed how our proximity was terribly close and how I wanted to kiss him oh-so badly.

"I will keep trying, Summer. I'm going to keep trying till you confront your love for me. And even so, I will keep trying, and trying because I need you in my life," he pauses and brings our faces closer, my nose brushing the side of his nose, our lips merely inches away.

"I can't seem to stay away from you, it's like.. there's this magnetic pull, bringing me to you," my hand went to his chest, fisting his shirt, his other hand resting on my waist. My feet were under my bum now, my bare legs touching his clothed ones.

"Just know, I love you, and I'm willing to wait," I flutter my eyes closed as I feel his lips connect with mine softly, the beating of my heart almost unbearable, his hand fully cupping my chin, his thumb grazing the skin just underneath, his nose nudging mine as he angles our faces, his pouty lips over lapping my own. My chest was heaving up and down as the space between us was completely gone, my heart swelling larger and larger.

I was falling completely in love with Harry. I've fallen in love, and I don't even know what love is. Nevertheless, I'd take this feeling over hate and bitterness. I'd gladly live with it for as long as I can. I'd cherish it with him and make sure he knows I love him.

I pull away slightly, my breath coming out in quick pants, my eyes on his lips, my hand on his neck; fingers playing with the hairs at his nape.

"Harry, I-"

"I know," he smiles gently, stopping me mid-sentence. I relax entirely only because I was scared to admit, but he knew. He knew I loved him and I was a-ok with that.
