Luster

Nevaeh's Pov (Pronounced Nih-vey-ah)

"But, mum, why do I have to go?" I ask as I continue to load my suitcases into the car.

"Because, Harry wants us to be there with him.  You should feel thankful that your cousin is inviting us to join him and the boys there!" she replied as if I was crazy.

"Yeah, maybe if it was for a week, but for three months we're going to this reunion.  THREE MONTHS!" I whined, closing the trunk.

"Look, Nevaeh, you are coming to this family reunion with everyone whether you want to or not.  We have an 8 hour drive ahead of us so by the time we get there you better have a major attitude change.  Do you hear me?" she snaps at me.  I sneer and get in the car, putting on my headphones.

As the rest of the family; my little brother, my older brother, and my parents, got in the car, I ignored them all.  I'm not happy to be going to this reunion, I don't even see why cousin Harry wants us there.  Not that I don't really like seeing them but its just that is all the boys' family's reunions.  So basically 5 families are having a Reunion together.  

Do you realize how many people that is?!  That's the boys, their parents, their siblings, their cousins, their aunts and uncle, everyone!  I get claustrophobic, I cant spend three months with that many people, I'll good mad!

After an 8 hour car drive and a stop after every two hours so that I wouldn't go crazy, trapped in a mini van for so long, we finally arrived.  The reunion was being held at a beautiful rural area by a lake.  Five houses were laid out on the grounds, all Victorian styled three-story houses.  Each house had a plaque above the door with the last name of the family, ours of course said Styles.

As I get out of the car, I'm greeted by Harry and Aunt Anne.  I hug and kiss them both on the cheek before walking into the house to look around.  It looks like we're the earliest here so we will get room choice, other than those chose by Harry, Aunt Anne, Gemma and Step uncle Robin (Uncle Rob).

I carry in my bags and put them in the middle room on the top floor.  Since there aren't enough rooms for everyone, it is decided that the kids would decide who to share rooms with.  I end up sharing a room with my little brother Josh.  He takes he bed on the right side of the room, while I take the one nearest the window incase I get a claustraphobic attack.  

"Hey, Nevaeh!  Long time no see!" Gemma says, entering the room.  I hug her tight and release her to say hello to Josh.  "Once it gets dark out, we're all heading down to the middle grounds, we're having a bon fire tonight!  you're going to get to meet all the others, I'm sure you'll love them.  Be sure to wear a jacket, though, it'll get cold!"

"Sure thing, Gems!" I reply as I close the final drawr of the dresser I just finished filling with my clothing.  I throw my suit case under my bed, then open the window to get some fresh air.  Looking out the window is peaceful and full of serenity, especially because of the view.  A crystal clear lake, brigth green pastures and a forest of oaktrees to top it off.  Its almost as if this should be on a post card, not out of the window.

After admiring the scenery for a while, the sun starts to set so I grab a sweater and brush my teeth, then head down stairs.  I greet the rest of my aunts and uncle and cousins down stairs and I feel rude that they'd been here so long and I spent all this time staring out a window.  However, they take no offense to it as they understand and respect the fact that I have claustrophobia and open windows and large spaces are like heaven to me. 

"Nevi, hun, can you come here please!" Aunt Anne calls from the living room.  I make my way over to the leather couch where she's sitting with Harry and our Uncle Mel.

"Yeah, Aunt Anne?" I ask.  She smiles and says, "Could you start to get everyone to start heading down to the middle grounds?"

I nod and then go back to the kitchen and begin to go around and tell everyone, "It's time to head down to the bonfire!"  They all start to leave the house together,  like a flock of sheep.  I'm the last to leave and I make sure all the lights are off at the house.  But before I can leave the house my mom calls to me, "Harry is still getting ready, wait for him then come down together please!"

I roll my eyes and go back inside, then sit on the fine leather couch.  Its dark brown yet I can almost swear its black.  It's only now that I take notice of the intercate flower pattern on the wall paper.  Thought most would hate it, I adore it, I think its absolutely lovely and honestly wouldnt mind having it in my bedroom back home.

"Ugh, what's taking that boy so long?" I grunt to myself after maybe half an hour of waiting.  I decide to go up stairs and check on him.  "Harry, what is taking so long!?"  

I hear him say something from his room but it's not clear enough for me to get the words so I walk up to his room

"What did you say?" I ask as I open the door.  He stood there, shirtless, with his room a mess.  But rather than notice the room, all I could look at was his abs...... his solid, perfectly chizzled- oh god!

As soon as I realize what I'm doing I bolt down stairs to the couch and shove my face in a piliow.  I dont know why but I just felt like that may some how help.  As if hiding my face in this pillow would change anything.

I just full on check out my cousin

My cousin

Worse than that was the enjoyment of looking at his body, his perfect abs, smooth tan........
