Paige's POV:

I had to say the lazy river was probably one the best inventions of all time. I was lounged out on a inner tube, my eyes closed and facing the sun. Just when it seemed to hot some water would splash off and it was perfect. I loved the feeling off warm sunshine soaking into my skin. Suddenly a wave of water hit me from the side, rocking the unstable floaty. I jerked up, blinking a few time to clear the sports dancing in my vision.

"Hey!" I demanded, seeing Harry's smirk before he turned away.

"What?" He asked innocently, looking at me with concern.

I didn't reply except to scoop my hand in the water and fling it onto his torso. "Hey!" He squealed, scrunching his nose.

"What?" I asked, mimicking his earlier question.

Harry let out a laugh and sent another wave of water my way. This time it splashed onto my head and I was soaked. Ok it's on. I pounded the water with my feet, sending wave after wave of liquid towards him. I barley saw his hands reached towards me then suddenly I was underwater, the freezing water sending tingles up my arms.

When I surfaced Harry was already ten feet away, running rapidly towards the exit. I jumped up, swimming until I felt my feet brush the floor. I pushed passed the empty inner tubes, my legs burning as they propelled me forwards. Harry was almost to the exit, and I was still a few feet behind. So I jumped forward, stretching my hand towards his shoulder. Unfortunately I missed, only by inches. I heard him let out a laugh and saw a gleam of mishchevious green eyes before he was running again. I quickly jumped up onto the pavement and chased after him. Suddenly a loud whistle sounded from behind me.

"No running!" The lifeguard demanded.

I let out a sigh and apologized, walking at a fast pace towards were I had last saw Harry. But since I slowed down the heat from the pavement was getting uncomfortably hot on the bottom of my feet. Actually I think it was searing into my flesh. I started jumping and ran towards the nearest grass I could find. There was a small area with a few trees and tall grass and that's what I ran towards. A small sigh of relief escape my mouth as the cool grass took away some of the burning pain from the asphalt.

Now where was Harry? I hid behind a small bush, peaking out towards the pool. There was that him? No..no his hair was lighter than that. I continued searching, oblivious to the shadow creeping behind me. Suddenly there was a hand clamped over my mouth as I got pulled deeper into the grass. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears as terror took over my senses. So I went into self defense mode, grabbing the hand and flipping him over my shoulder and onto the ground, sitting on my attackers chest.

"Oww." He whined, looking up at me and pouting.

"Harry? Oh my gosh what the hell were you doing?" I said with a laugh, trying to ignore his adorable little lip poking out.

"I was trying to scare you." He explained.

"Yeah well how did that work out for you? Because I think I won." I gloated from my place on his chest.

Harry looked up with a small smirk, grabbing my shoulders and flipping me onto the ground. Suddenly he was laying on top of my, hands on other side of my head holding my arms to the ground. His face a few inches from mine, wet curls dripping water onto my cheek. "Pinned ya." He whispered.

Again I felt my heart beating so fast I thought it was trying to fly away. He was so close. All I had to do was lean forward and his lips would be on mine. I don't know how long I stayed like that. Maybe seconds, maybe minutes. But to me it felt like hours. Agonizing hours as his face hovered over mine, those green eyes starting straight to my soul, I could practically feel his abs pressed against my stomach. Just an inch, half an inch closer....
