Chapter 10

This night was slowest among them all. Neither Louis and Harry knew why, but maybe it was because it was the final night. And all of it was a lot of dancing, and looking into each other's eyes as the world slowed down for them.

But watching each other made them realize something else. That love wasn't far above their heads. Almost like they barely realized it, love at first sight.

When the night was over for them, they tiredly made their way to their van waiting for them to take them to their last night at the hotel. Louis and Harry, of course, still hand in hand.

They climbed into the vehicle, one after the other. They listened to Liam's music loudly, basically dancing in the car though they were exhausted. However, they couldn't help jamming out to Big Payno's mixes.

Harry nestled his head into Louis' chest as they entered the hotel. They were on their way to the elevators when Louis got a bright idea.

"Guys!" He blurted. They looked at him oddly for his loud outburst. "Let's go swimming! I mean, night swimming is always the best, and a very fine way to the end the weekend."

"The pool's closed, Lou," Olly pointed out.

"Well, there's this thing called money, and bribes, Olly." Louis pulled out his wallet, and inside were quite the number of bills. "I'll be right back!" Then he scurried off to the front desk while everyone else waited by the elevators.

"What is the hedgehog up to?" Liam crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

Minutes later, Louis was back, a smirk plastered on his face and a key in his hand.

"What's that for?" Harry asked, walking over to his side.

Louis put an arm around his waist, and pulled him closer. "This," tossing the key up and catching it,"is the key to the pool." He had asked the lady at the front desk for the key and when she told him that it was already past the hour curfew, he slid a couple fifty dollar bills towards her.

The lady was nowhere near offended, and she slowly took the money, and stood up to grab the keys from a file cabinet. She removed the one key for the pool, and before handing it over to Louis, she said to have returned the key once they were done, and to have fun.

After going up to their rooms, and changing into their swim trunks, the boys were in front of the gate, Louis putting the key into the keyhole, and twisting it quickly so they were in. The door squeaked as he opened it, and the others ran past him, Liam and Niall doing cannonballs into the lit up water.

The water splashed onto the surrounding concrete, and on a few of the too close lounge chairs. Olly went to go turn on the spa, wanting to relax in the warm bubbly water.

The night's temperature was somewhere between seventy and seventy-five degrees. Nice and cool, very comfortable.

Harry sat on the ground, only putting his feet into the water first. He swayed them back and forth, the water swishing around. He felt relaxed like this, and watched as Niall and Liam splashed water at each other. They looked like children, playing and laughing with each other.

Harry felt a warm shoulder touch his and he turned his head to see Louis sitting down next to him, letting his feet dip into the pool as well. His eyes roamed over his body, and he had to bite his lip from drooling.

"Hey." Harry smiled, slightly pushing Louis' shoulder with his.

Louis smiled in return. "Hi." He gestured towards the pool. "You're not gonna get in?"

"Yeah, but it's a bit cold."

"That's how pool's are supposed to be."

Harry shrugged. "I'm just gonna sit here for now."
