Marcel's p.o.v

We parted lips, grinning like crazy.

"Do you want to go do something?" She asked blushing slightly.

"Like what?" I asked standing up holding her hand pulling her with me.

"I don't know, a movie or something" she shrugged. I nodded, walking by her side. Then a lightbulb went off in her head.

"No wait, I know!" She shouted. I jumped looking at her, she ran off into a room while I trailed behind. I stood in the doorway of the room, guessing it was her brother's room. The walls were white with different band posters on them, a wooden bed with a red checkered pattern sat in the middle, and the rest of the room was just cardboard boxes.

"Alex?" I called out.

"Here!" She announced sticking her hand up in the corner. I walked over to her smiling, finding her crouched down looking through a box. She rummaged through pictures and different shirts before coming across what she wanted.

"These!" She shouted pulling out a pair of white swim trunks with blue stripes across them.

"Are you up for some swimming? I know it's a bit late but I figured" She asked looking up to me. I smiled widely.

"Yea, I can never swim around Harry so this will be nice" I smiled. She grinned standing up.

"Ok here you go, Ill go change and get some towels then we can swim" she explained. I nodded seeing her skip out of the room.


Alex's p.o.v

I rushed up to my room, opening a drawer full of swim things. I pulled out my favorite Hollister bikini and slipped it on. Walking over to the hall I found Marcel stepping into the guest room, I pulled out two towels and walked downstairs.

"Alex?" Marcel called from upstairs.

"Downstairs!" I announced, I heard footsteps come closer until I saw Marcel himself standing in the doorway. His tan bare chest exposed, showing off a tattoo of two sparrows. I noticed him stare at me a bit but brushed it off.

"You have a tattoo!?" I asked pointing to it. He looked down at it, like if he didn't know and nodded looking back up blushing.

"I got it with Harry a while ago, he got a giant butterfly on his stomach and I got sparrows" he shrugged.

"Butterfly?" I asked.

"He said something about it helping him fly, I don't know I honestly didn't care. He got more later on but I only got the one and I make sure it's covered at all times" he explained.

"Harry's sake?" I asked. He nodded slowly.

"Oh, well anyways lets go swim!" I exclaimed, trying my best not to sound annoyed. He nodded as I handed him his towel before heading out.


Marcel's p.o.v

I followed her outside, looking at her tan back and blue swim suit. I don't know why she would say yes to being my girlfriend, and I still don't understand how I got a hold of her before Harry did but I felt proud. For once the pretty girl went after me and ignored Harry. I liked the feeling. We stepped outside, letting the warm yet cold spring air circle us. I stared at the darkening water, as it moved with the slight breeze. Alex walked over to a switch by a patio table and turned it on, causing lights to erupt from the inside of the pool making the water look shiny and pretty.

"Ready?" She asked. I nodded walking over to the pool setting my towel on ground, I stepped in quietly letting my body adjust to the temperature. Looking around for Alex I heard a splash. I looked to the source of the noise only to find Alex popping out of the water gasping for air. She swam over to me smiling.

"Come on!" She laughed. I sighed and submerged myself to the water, letting it circle me. I popped out gasping for air, seeing Alex smile at me. I pulled her closer to me, pressing my lips on to hers moving them in sync. We swam for another half hour before going inside and showering.

We laid on the couch, my arms around Alex's small waist, and our legs tangled together. We were currently watching Monsters Inc. Until I heard Alex's stomach growl.

"Lets go make dinner?" I suggested. She nodded in response standing up. We cooked spaghetti and ate it quickly before heading upstairs and laying in the guest room.

"What's your favorite color?" She asked.

"Blue, you?" I answered.

"Same, favorite animal?" She retorted.

"Leopard, you?" I smiled.

"Wolf." She yawned.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked. She directed her attention directly to me smiling. Nodding for me to go on.

"When Harry and I were younger we were actually best friends" I smiled.

"Then what happened?" She asked.

"I honestly don't know, we came into High school and that was that" I shrugged. She stared at me sadly.

"Well it's his loss" she smiled. I looked at her confused.

"He lost the sweetest and kindest guy I know" she explained. I blushed looking at her outline in the darkness. I heard her yawn and pecked her lips.

"Go to sleep babe w-we'll talk tomorrow" I stuttered. She giggled.

"Babe, I like it" she acknowledged. I smiled before drifting off to sleep along with her.
