Chapter 22: What's in store?

My eyes fluttered open as I felt a warm breeze from the window sweep along my skin.

I lifted my head off of Harry's chest and propped myself up on one elbow, laying on my side against him. I ran my palm up his chest before cupping his cheek.

I smiled down at his lips as memories from last night flooded my mind.

I brushed a few strands of hair out of his face and gently leaned down to kiss his forehead. He shifted under me before slowly opening his sleep filled eyes and smiled tiredly.

"Good morning beautiful," Harry's raspy morning voice made me want to melt.

"Hey you," I whispered as he stretched and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"I enjoyed last night," Harry smiled wider, placing a kiss on the tip of my nose.

I smiled back and leaned down to kiss him again, "I did too."

Harry ran his fingertips up my arm, "maybe we should go for round 2?" He bit into my lower lip playfully.

Before I could answer he flipped us over so that he was on top of me, and attacked my sides, tickling me like crazy.

"Harry!" I bursted out laughed as I tried to pry his hands off me. He was laughing along with me.

When he finally stopped tickling me, he just looked down into my eyes.

"What?" I asked curiously.

He brought a hand to my cheek, stroking it gently with his thumb, "you have no idea how happy you make me."

"Oh, is that so?" I grinned mischievously.

"Yes, silly," he smirked.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his lips down on mine, "you make me happy too," I whispered, "I haven't felt this way in a long time."

"I'm glad I changed that," Harry said against my lips before kissing me deeply.

I brought my hands around and cupped his face in-between my palms as I kissed him back passionately.

As Harry started running his hands up my sides, there was a knock at the door.

We broke the kiss and looked at each other with confusion because we weren't expecting anyone.

"I'll get it," I replied as I went to get up. Immediately I felt a pain down in my stomach that made me groan.

Harry chuckled, "sorry about that love."

I glared at him playfully before I put on a silk robe from the bathroom, and headed to answer the door.

Harry got up, put boxers on, and followed me to see who was knocking.

Lo and behold, there was Louis leaning against the door frame, "Hey love birds," he smirked.

"Hey Louis," I greeted him with a smile. I was surprised to see him here.

"Hey man, I didn't know you were coming here too. Who else came?" Harry said as he placed an arm around my waist.

"Just El and I," Louis said, "we got the room next to yours. You guys up for hitting the beach? I've got a surprise planned."

"Sure, sounds good," Harry agreed.

"Cool, met us down by the lobby in half an hour," Louis replied as he started to walk away, but then quickly turned back, "oh! I almost forgot... last night sounded amazing by the way. I loved hearing you scream Emma," Louis winked.

I felt my face get warm. I had no idea he heard us. Oh god, kill me now. I buried my face into Harry's chest hiding my cherry red cheeks.

"Piss off," Harry yelled jokingly as he slammed the door.

I placed both hands on my face and shook my head, "I feel so embarrassed!"

Harry chuckled, "Nothing to feel ashamed of, you sounded so hot last night," he smirked.

I hit his arm, "you know what I mean."

"Don't worry about it," Harry leaned down and kissed me, "Let's get ready to go to the beach."

I nodded and started to pack a tote bag with beach essentials. I changed into a tiffany blue bikini, while Harry changed into some swim trunks and a tank. I grabbed a sheer beach poncho and put it over my bikini before we headed out of our room and down to the lobby.

As soon as the elevator doors opened I spotted Louis and El, who was in a gorgeous floral pink bikini with white shorts

Harry and I walked over to them,"Hey El!"

"Emma! It's so nice to see you again," she hugged me.

"It's nice to see you too! I'm glad you're here!" I replied.

"Yeah, me too. Today should be fun!" El added.

"We better get going if we want to make it in time for the surprise. Meet us down by the beach," Louis said before walking El out of the hotel.

Harry slipped his hand in mine and intertwined our fingers, "Let's go love."

We followed El and Louis out and walked toward the Ferrari Harry rented out. He opened the passenger side door for me before getting into the drivers seat.

"I wonder what the 'surprise' is going to be," I said as he got in.

"Knowing Louis, it's going to be something crazy," Harry said as we pulled out of the parking lot and headed down to the beach.

I kept pondering about what we might be doing when Harry turned on the radio.

"I love this song," I chimed in as Phillip Phillips' Gone Gone Gone started playing on the station.

I started dancing in the car like a freak causing Harry to laugh at me.

As my favorite part of the song came up, I couldn't help but jam out, "You're my back bone. You're my cornerstone. You're my crutch when my legs stop moving," I began singing.

Harry grabbed my hand, "You're my head start. You're my rugged heart. You're the pulse that I've always needed," he sang.

I looked at him and smiled as we sang the next verse together, "Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating."

He squeezed my hand gently and lifted it up to his lips. He placed a soft kiss on the back of my hand and continued singing, "Like a drum my heart never stops beating...for you, for youu."

I leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek, "I love when you sing."

"I love hearing you sing too Emma, you sound so beautiful," Harry said sincerely.

"You need to get your ears checked darling," I joked.

Harry glared at me, "Stop Em. Give yourself some credit," he said as we parked and walked towards the beach.

We met up with Louis and El, and quickly followed Louis as he led us to a dock. El, Harry, and I just stood there all confused about why we were there.

Then, from the distance we saw a boat arrive.

"Ahhh, there we go!" Louis shouted.

"What's that mate?" Harry questioned.



"That my friend, is the boat that is going to take us parasailing!" Louis said while grinning wide.
