We arrived in Portugal and it was beautiful! The weather was amazing, the food was amazing, the sea view from our hotel room was amazing, everything was just amazing! I could definitely get used to taking a week out of uni for this. Speaking of uni, I did actually bring my laptop on holiday with me so I could do some work while I sunbathe.
Tristan's friend Harry was super lovely too, he's been making us laugh the whole time! He looks a bit like Harry Styles but without the cute accent.
Today was our third day and we were done with all the touristy stuff so decided to have a chilled day at the hotel. Mum and Tris were at the bar getting drinks while I opened up my laptop to start writing the script for the play I was directing for one of my assignments.
'Morning Jas' I looked up whilst pulling my sunglasses over my head to see a cute looking, brown haired guy standing in front of me. It was Harry.
'Hey Haz! Sorry that sounded way cooler in my head' I began to blush.
'It's cool' he laughed. 'So what are you doing on your laptop when you're meant to be relaxing?'
'Oh don't, you sound just like my mum and Tris' I giggled. 'I'm writing a play at uni so I need to make a start on my script because I want to get first rehearsals done before Christmas!'
'Wow, talented and organised!' He clapped at me. 'So what do you study at uni?'
'Oh, I do Theatre and English! I'm a bit of an arts geek like that' I nervously giggled.
'You're not a geek! So does this mean I get free tickets to your plays?' He nudged me.
'Yeah if I ever make it up on the big stage!'
'Hey don't say that! Of course you will!'
'Thanks' I smiled at Harry.
'Wow this is crazy' he changed the topic.
'What's crazy?'
'T-dog having a sister!'
'I'm sorry, 'T-dog'?' I burst out laughing. 'That's such a stupid name! But yeah, it is crazy! I still don't know how I went all these years without him. Now I can't go a day without speaking to him!'
'We all had bets on how hot you were when he said he had a sister' he laughed. 'Oh! Erm, I mean not that that was the only thing obviously, I mean not saying you're not hot of course but, erm, I-'
'It's okay Harry, breathe' I couldn't help but laugh.
'What's so funny?' He asked, his cheeks were turning red
'The way you began to panic, it was cute' I smiled. 'Oh, erm, I mean well not in that way, I mean in a general cute type of way!'
'Yeah, I know what you mean' his smile was the cutest, he has two dimples that showed every time he smiled.
'Right, well I'm going to get back to writing this script!'
'Oh yeah sure! I'll see you around then?'
I burst out laughing again. 'Harry, you're acting as if we just met in a bar or something and you just asked me out on a date and are about to leave not knowing if you'll see me again'
'Did I? Shit'
'Don't worry about it' I smiled, trying to hold in my giggle. 'You're stuck with me for 2 more days unfortunately'
'That's fine by me'
...
After dinner Tris, Harry and I decided to go for a walk along the beach while mum had an early night. The stars were shining so bright in the sky, it looked so beautiful.
Boys being boys, Tristan and Harry tried pushing me into the sea but I resisted a lot.
'DON'T YOU FREAKING DARE' I screamed at both of them.
'Uh oh, let's leave it. I know that scream and that means don't mess with her' Tris explained to Harry.
'Aw dammit, that would've been fun pushing you in' he teased.
'Well mister, if you're so keen on going in..' I turned around and pushed him into the sea before me and Tris fell on the sand laughing.
'I'll get you back Jasmine, don't you worry!' He shouted out.
'Yeah good luck trying!' I shouted back.
'Oh crap!' Tristan yelled out. 'I think I left my phone at the bar!'
'Oh well done, you're so smart! Run back and check!'
'Are you not coming with me?!'
'Erm, do I look like I can run in flip flops?'
'Fine' he groaned. 'I'll meet you back at the hotel. Will you be alright walking back with Harry?'
'Yeah I'll live, now go find your phone!' I called after Tris as he was already running off.
'Where's he off to?'
'Oh he thinks he left his phone at the bar so I said we'll meet him back at the hotel because these shoes weren't made for running'
Harry laughed. 'You're funny'
'Why thank you' I flipped my hair. 'So go on then, tell me about yourself. All I know is that your name is Harry and your best friend is 'T-dog', so what else is there to you?'
'Well I live with my mum near where Tris used to live' he started off.
'Did your dad have another family like mine and Tris' dad?' I joked.
'Erm, no, I-I lost my dad when I was about 3 so it's just been me and my mum ever since really. She's my rock, I don't know what I'd do without her'
'Oh my gosh I am so sorry Harry! I didn't mean to say what I said, I'm so sorry' I hugged him.
'It's okay, you weren't to know'
He then continued on telling me more about his family life.
'You scare me' he said.
'I scare you? Why?'
'Because I tell you things I can't even tell myself'
In that moment I felt so connected to Harry, like I've known him for all of my life. I had a warm feeling inside.
'Thank you Jasmine'
'What for?'
'For letting me open up like that. I've never done that with anyone before, not even Tris knows half the stuff I just said but it felt good letting it out, so thank you'
'Hey, it's okay, I know we're not exactly best buds seeing as we've only just met but just so you know, I'm here for you' I smiled at him. 'Whenever you need me, I'll be here'
