Meeting The Lads

Chapter 13

I look to the left of me, seeing someone I've never thought I'd make contact again with.

Harry

"You're here because?" I ask him looking up scanning the dark red beanie he is wearing.

"Well, my friend works here, and so I decided to have breakfast! Don't worry I'm not stalking you." He assures me. I look over and see Ebony, not paying one bit of attention to me or Harry. I nod my head and roll my eyes then start eating. I stop, feeling uncomfortable seeing Harry watching me eat. I turn my head and wipe my mouth with the napkin sitting beside my plate.

"Can I help you Harry?" I ask him.

"Actually yes. You haven't answered me..." He looks down into his hands.

"Answered you for what?" I ask. Oh gosh. He's gonna mention that night.

"That night...when we kind of fought.... That night when I was being a jerk. Can we start over?" He asks looking me in the eyes. He smiles and I giggle.

"Can we just forget that night. I had no clue what I was doing and why I allowed that girl to do what she was doing...." He asks. He looks desperate in his eyes. But I'm in such a knot right now and don't know what to say.

"If I can trust that you'll make the right decisions, I guess we could start over." I say raising and eyebrow, he rushes for a hug, thinking that I would let him get away with it. Which was exactly what I did.

I hugged back and then pulled away.

"I promise, I won't rush this relationship." He says truthfully, at least I think so.

"That's good with me. But I'm gonna finish eating." I say, eager to take a bite into my probably frozen food.

"Me too." He says and takes a forkful of hash browns into his mouth. I can't believe I'm letting this slide, I'm kind of nervous for what I just walked myself into.

"Mmmm. That was delicious!" I say looking at Ebony and Harry who are getting up to get rid of their plates. Me doing the same. I walk behind them to the trash can and scan Harry up and down, I haven't really looked at his outfit today besides the beanie he's sporting with black skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with a dark jean jacket over.

"Are you busy today Skylar? Or can I call you Sky?" He asks

"My name is Skylar." I say sternly. I wouldn't mind him calling me Sky honestly. I would love it. But ever since that night I'm meaner to Harry than I ever thought I would be. Well, at least sometimes. I have no clue why.

"Go ahead love birds! Have the rest of the day to yourselves, I have to go shopping for groceries anyways." Ebony tells me and Harry.

"Are you sure?" I ask looking at Ebony.

"Positive." She says with a wink.

"You could just get some money out of my purse for groceries. Okay?" I ask Ebony. She nods and I go to hug her and she hugs back.

"Be careful." She whispers in my ear, not allowing Harry to hear. I nod and get out of the hug. Harry grabs my hand and I look back to see Ebony already gone.

"So where are you taking me this time?" I ask.

"Uhm... I think you might have to go in your room and grab your new bikini," He says with a wink. "I'm going to take you to the beach today!" He continues.

" Yay!" I cheer. Lets go to the elevator... It's faster." I say. I look up and he smiles.

"Thank you Skylar."

"For?" I question, stepping into the elevator.

"For forgiving me. I'm really sorry." He says looking down at me.

"It's fine. I guess." I say squeezing his hand tighter. We get to our level and and run into the room to see that Ebony has left.

"I'm gonna go put this under my clothes, you can watch tv for a bit, here." I say handing him the remote. I walk into the bedroom and shut the door. There was no lock, but I trusted Harry would stay away. I strip off my clothes, undies, and bra and apply my bikini after ripping the tags off. I can't seem to get the back tied. I want to ask Harry. I will, I mean the worst he could do is take my top off...

I twist open the door to see Harry's eyes move from the tv to my body, he scans me up and down and I suddenly feel insecure. I don't know why though, I know I'm in good shape, because I did a big workout and ever since then, I felt pretty confident.

"Stop." I demand to Harry and all he does is smirk and look me in the eyes.

"I need you to tie my top." I say watching him get up and walk towards my back.

"I was just checking you out love," he smirks. "You should be proud."

I let out a small laugh and grab two towels from the bathroom. I throw my clothes on over my bathing suit and Harry takes the towels.

"C'mon lets go." I say heading out the door, Harry closing it behind us.

"Okay knock knock." Harry says getting into the car.

"Who's there?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

" boo!" He says putting the key in ignition.

"Boo who?"

"Awe! Skylar, don't cry!" He says, that wasn't even funny but I burst out laughing anyways. The whole car ride we were both cracking jokes to eachother.

BEEP BEEP

I check to see my phone, it's my best guy friend, Luke. He was always there for me, right with Ebony when I needed them, I guess you could call him overprotective too.

'Hey! I miss you! What have you been doing this summer?'

I reply with;

'I miss you too and I'm in London...Me and Ebony took a trip here together. I'm about to go to the beach!'

It takes no time for him to text back and he says;

'OMG GIRL IM IN LONDON TOO! I took a trip here because my moms friends live over here and we came to visit. I made friends with their son and me and him are going to the beach too!'

I can't keep the giggle in. I tell him everything, just not the fact that I've been spending some time with Harry. He would blow up. We get into the Parking lot and Harry sighs.

"What's the matter?" I ask him.

"Our time for my jokes has ran out." He frowns then laughs. He runs to the back and grabs his swim trunks.

"Wait. Did I already know that I would say yes? And you were already planning this?" I snap.

He laughs and looks at me...

"Well..." He doesn't answer but I know what he's thinking.

"Come here." He says and grabs my hand and squeezes it. His big hands touching my skin was so soothing, and felt so warm. We find a spot and sit down.

"I'm gonna go get a water. You want one?" I ask Harry.

"Sure...Ill be right back, I'm going to change." He says and walks to the bathroom. I get up and start running to the line at the concession, I turn around and take a look at the beach, still kind of jogging. I turn back and crash into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." I say looking up.

"Skylar!" The person shouts even though I'm standing right in front of them. I clear my eyes and look up. Right then my heart stops.
