Around the campfire [h.s au] {RECONSTRUCTION}

IX: Right now...

Right, I know I said this would be called Olivia, but I am going to save that for another time...

I see a hidden meaning in this song that works for Olivia (you will understand later on in the book web the secrets start to come out).

So, here's the next chapter, Right Now, I hope you like it!❤

Harry and I continue to splash about in the water for a while longer, before deciding to get out and dry off on the bank.

Behind us, Harry's phone buzzes on the picnic blanket so he leans back to check it and let's out an exaggerated sigh.

"What's up?" I question and sit up from my position of laying on the floor, trying to determine what interrupted our comfortably silent sunbathing in the sun that peaked through the space I the trees above us.

"Zayn just text me, they're all back at the camp now and what us to head bad and get ready for tonight."

"Oh, okay. What time is it anyway?" I ask both exhaustedly and disappointedly.

"Erm... 4:45, they said that the party is starting a 6. Are you ready to go back?"

"Yeah... Will you pass me my clothes?" I ask sweetly.

He nods quickly but, to my severe annoyance, states "we need to speak about this, though."

Oh no. I don't know if I can deal with this right now!

Whilst I'm trying to prepare myself for the upcoming conversation, I notice that Harry has frozen in the corner of my view and turn to ask what's wrong before realising what he's holding.

"Hey, wha-oh... I-erm-I, yeah." I stutter as he stares at my underwear- a red, lace thong- which had been left with the rest of my clothes on the floor.

He seems to snap out of his trance and clears his throat, slowly picking up my heap of clothes as he smirks at me, making me blush.

"They're nice, love. I have to say, though, I was not expecting to see those today." He winks and I hurriedly put my top and jeans on with my bikini, stuffing my pants in my pocket and bra in the bag.

"Anyways... We should get going." I rush out and as I try to hide my embarrassment. More like try I avoid the conversation, Livy corrects.

"Hey hey hey, not so fast! We still need to chat." Harry softly grabs my wrist and pulls me back down once his t-shirt is on.

"Do we have to? Can't we just go with the flow? I hate committing to labels." I whine and look down at the blades of grass in my fingers.

"Olivia, we don't have to label it," he softy uses his finger to lift my chin and gaze, "I just need to know where we stand... If you want to go with the flow and see where this goes, then that's what we'll do. At least we're on the same page now."

"Okay. I'm sorry, by the way, I kind of stole that first kiss." I try to laugh but it just sounds forced as I look back at the ground.

"Haha, it's fine, I was hoping you would do it whenever you were ready because I didn't want to push you into it or anything."

We fall into a peaceful, calming silence and, stupidly, I let my mind wander.

Thankfully, his hands comes up to brush a strand of hair out of my face and I instinctively look up at him as he caresses my cheek in his hand.

Slowly, we both lean in and he places a small peck on my lips then pull away, smiling.

I feel so much more comfortable around him and I just hope I can keep it this way. I don't want my barriers to come back up, because I like the mindset I'm right now and I don't want it to change, but I know that this probably won't last too long so I silently warn myself not to get too attached to the comfort.

I miss him though, I can't help but feel that everything happening, though amazing, is scarily new and him being here could probably calm me slightly.

A tear comes to my eye but I discretely wipe it away as Harry gets up off the ground. He puts his hand out to help me up and grips my hand in his whilst grabbing the bag in his other one.

Slowly, we stroll back, stealing kisses along the way and talking about what tonight will bring.

Just a short chapter, but can I get props for starting and completing this in, like, 2 hours?

Anyway, Harivia are going to go with the flow for now:

How do you feel about that? Do you think it will work? Will she keep her barriers down? And who is this he that she speaks of?

Mwahahaha! I know all of the answers for once and it makes me feel so happy!

That's all from me for now as I watched This Is Us & Paper Towns and I'm about to catch up on Geordie Shore (because I'm dreadfully ill).

Bye hunni's
