Olympics and One Direction

Chapter 5

Emily's POV

I wake up the next morning in Harry's strong embrace. I smile looking up at his face. His lips are slightly parted letting soft snores escape.

Quietly I slide out of his warm arms before getting out if he bed. The cold air his my exposed legs, causing me to shiver. Looking down I realize I'm only in my underwear and Harry's T-shirt. Walking over to his drawers I start to dig through them. Eventually I find a pair of sweatpants and I put them on, tightening them with the drawstring so they wouldn't fall.

Once I'm satisfied with how the sweats fit I walk out of Harry's room quietly, making sure I don't wake him.

I walk around the house, eventually finding myself in the kitchen. Niall's standing at the island, eating a giant bowl of cereal.

"Hi." I say awkwardly, walking to the sink. I grab a glass of water before going and sitting next to him. "Hey Emily. How'd you sleep?" He asks, looking over at me. "Pretty good." I shrug before taking a sip of my water. Niall nods his head and I look around, trying to think of something to talk about.

At that moment Liam walks in, dressed and smiling widely.

"Why are you so happy?" Niall asks him. "Especially this early in the morning." I add and Liam chuckles. "For your information management called and we get to go tour Vancouver." Niall looks at him. "And?" He asks. "And, they're letting us go to giant water park without any fans there. Just us and any guest that we bring." Niall cheers and Liam smiles brightly.

Louis and Zayn walk in rubbing there eyes. "Why are you guys so happy?" Louis asks and Niall smiles, exposing his pearly white teeth. "Two word my friends; water park."

When we finally reach the water park I look around in total shock. The place is empty. There isn't a single soul in there except for 1 man that's sitting in an office looking building. I look around in wonder.

Now you must be thinking that I've never been to a water park before. Actually I have. I've even been to this one a couple of times. It's just amazing to me to see it so empty.

I set my stuff down next to the boys. They're already in the middle of taking off their shoes and shirts.

Nervously I remove the cute pink, crop tank top Harry gave me before doing the same to the high waist, black skirt leaving me in the black and white polkadot bikini they gave me. I step out of my gladiator shoes before turning my attention back to the boys.

They're all staring at me like I'm a piece of fresh meat and they're a pack of starving wolfs. Nervously I look down, soon becoming self conscious about how I look. I tighten my ponytail before playing with the brackets on my wrists.

"Where do you want to go first?" Liam says, soon snapping out of his daze. I shrug my shoulders and he sighs. "Let's split up for now and we'll meet back here at 12:30 for lunch." I nod my head and the others nod there heads absentmindedly as they continue to stare at me.

I look over at Liam with pleading eyes and he smiles. He motions for me to hop onto his back and I quickly run over, jumping on. One of my arms grips his shoulder as the other goes to my bikini bottoms, holding them so they don't fall down. Liam's hands grip my upper thighs, right below my butt before he takes off. Squealing I dig my head into the crook of his neck, looking to see where we're going.

He carries me to a giant slide, that curves every few feet. The one issue is there's a million stairs you have to climb before you get to the top. A sigh escapes my lips as I stare at the long hike up to the top.

Liam lightly drops me and I land on my feet, luckily without falling over. "Thanks for the ride. Sorry if I was to heavy." I apologize looking down. Some of my old instructors and friends have told me that I need to shed a few pounds and that a professional soccer player shouldn't look as big as I do.

I feel two fingers gently lift my head up and I stare into Liam's big, brown, doe like eyes. "Did you just say you're heavy?" He asks and I nod my head ashamed. He doesn't have to repeat it back to me. He snorts. "You, my friend are anything but heavy. In fact you're as skinny as a toothpick and as light as a feather." I smile at his compliment. "Thanks Liam. Now let's go." I grab Liam's hand and we start to run up the millions of stairs.

After a while Liam and I split up and I'm soon joined by Niall.

"Hey Em." Niall says, ruffling his damp hair. "He Ni." I say as we start to walk towards another slide. We walk along in silence and I have to admit its awkward.

"So how long have you been laying soccer?" He asks and I shrug my shoulders. "Since I can remember actually. How long have you been singing?" We start to climb the stairs towards the top of the ride. "Since I was a young lad." He said and I smile. "I wouldn't mind hearing you sing." I soon add after it though. "You know, you and the other boys." His bright smile fades a bit. "Yeah, of course. Me and the lads."

As we climb I spit out. "So do you have a girlfriend?" I blush after realizing I said that out loud. He smiles at me, displaying his beautiful smile. "Actually I don't." I look at him shocked. "A handsome boy like you, not having a girlfriend? What has the world come to?" I put my hand up to my forehead dramatically. He laughs at me. "I guess I just haven't found that special someone. That someone I can call my princess."

Niall's words got me thinking. Have I really found my prince. I know Harry's been acting like we're still together and I'd like to think we are. But if you really think about it we've grown apart a bit. We've been away from each other a little over a year, we're practically strangers.

Is Harry still my prince? My knight in shining armour? Or is he just another peasant? Someone that once was?
