One More Time

Chapter 20

I gasped and pushed him away quickly. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

"I-i" Harry stuttered then regained confidence. "I've been wanting to do that for a long, long time." I glared at him and pulled my hand back quickly. I struck him across the face. I covered my mouth realizing what I'd done. Harry seemed to shake it off a smirk still on his face. Niall hadn't see any of this. He was maybe 15 Yards away. No one else saw it either, they were all trying to get away because i was Marco. I took a shaky step back. "H-Harry's Marco." i announced and swam to Niall. He wrapped his strong arms around me. Lightly kissing my neck as i blushed. But i couldn't think straight. Harry likes me? Im his best friends' girlfriend. This cant be happening. And to think, i started out as a regular fan who happened to get backstage passes.

I cant deal with this. How do i tell Niall? Do i tell Niall? "I-I'm gonna get out." I stammer as i slowly start walking out of the water. I wrung out my hair and felt the water drip down my back.

"Need any help?" i heard Niall call behind me like i was a helpless child.

"I'm fine." I called over my tattooed shoulder. I walked to the beach chair and picked up my towel. I started drying off my body. I looked up and saw Niall staring. I smirked but turned my vision to the other person staring. Harry. I quickly finished drying and laid back in my beach chair. I took my earbuds and slipped them in my ears as 'Midnight Memories' filled my ears.

I sang with it quietly smiling largely when Nialls solo came up. I turned around to find, conveniently, speakers to plug in my iPhone. I did so, playing my play list of all one direction songs. I looked at my boyfriend to see a large smile cross his face. I got up from my chair to start dancing. Kelsey joined me because that's what best friends do. She smirked but i didn't know why.

I didn't bother turning around. But i didn't know Niall swam to the edge but as far behind me as he could so i couldn't see him. Kelsey didn't warn me as Niall ran up behind me. He grabbed my waist and i yelped. He picked me up bridal style and started laughing as he ran towards the water. "Niall!" i protested. He kept running and as he ran into the water the splashing hit me. I shrieked as he dropped me and I went under. I stood up, the water being rather shallow. "I hate you." i joked. I splashed him with the water and pushed him back so he fell in the water. I wiped my hair out of my face.

i chuckled right before he grabbed my ankle and pulled me down next to him. He placed his hand on my cheek pulling me closer to him. And as i smiled, he placed his lips on mine. I giggled and looked at his closed eyes. But i looked to my left to see Harry staring at us. I pulled away quickly. Almost too quickly. Niall looked confused. He pouted.

"Why'd you let go?" he asked pouting.

"Nothing its nothing." i stood quickly. "Lets get out." I walked out of the water as he touched my tattoo. "What was that for?"

"I wanted to see it. You shouldn't've hidden it." He pecked my lips and walked in front of me holding my hand and pulling me to my chair.

"I'm gonna get some iced tea." i smiled and walked inside the back door of the house slowly. I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I rolled my eyes because there was no iced tea. I looked in the cabinets and drawers for Iced tea mix. I bent over to a low cabinet. But I felt hands take ahold of my waist that was in the air. I chuckled thinking Niall followed me. I finally found some mix as I stood up with it in my hand. I placed it on the counter and turned around. Harry was standing behind me. Holding my waist tightly.

I tried desperately to push him off. "Stop this little game of yours it's stupid." I say as I grabbed a pitcher from the cabinet.

"I'm not playing a game I really like you." he replied smirking.

I rolled my eyes filling the pitcher with water and pouring in the right about if iced tea mix. "Well move on because I've got a boyfriend." I walked to the fridge with him following as I pulled out a lemon. I found a cutting board and placed the lemon on it. Slicing it, as I feel Harry's arms creep back around my waist. I let out an exasperated sigh and place the knife down. "look, I said stop and if you like me, and are Niall's friend, you'd respect that." I pushed him off as I placed the lemon slices in the iced tea.

I walk back to the fridge and open the freezer side grabbing a handful of ice cubes. I place them in the tea as Harry took a hold of me, refusing to listen and he kissed me. Again. I tried to shake him off but he had a firm grip on me. I placed my hands on his chest and shoved him off. Wiping my lips. "Niall, and only Niall, is allowed to do that." I snap as I place 8 glasses on a tray with the iced tea pitcher and walk outside. I place them on the table. "Here." I said in a somewhat monotone voice. Obviously I was feeling kind of off. I sat down next to Niall. He placed a hand on my knee.

"Hey, you ok?" He asked rubbing my knee.

"Yeah fine." I shrugged.

"No you're not." he took his hand off my knee and wrapped his arms around me. "What's wrong?"

I took a deep breath. I didn't want to tell him. "Nothing. it's not important. I'm fine." I sounded more confident.

"Okay...." he reluctantly let go.

"Anyway," i started pouring the iced tea into glasses for my friends. They all gratefully took their glasses in their hands. "so, what else do we do while we're here?" i asked

"Same thing we did today." harry responded. Oh i wish anyone but him responded to that. And with that response. No way was i reliving what harry did today. I took a shaky breath.

"Sounds good." i stood. "I-i think im gonna wash the salt water out of my hair. " i slowly walk to the house as i see the others out of the corner of my eye stand and follow. I guess we're all going to wash up for the day.

I walk to me and Niall's room and before i start to take my bathing suit off, i feel arms wrap around me. I'm not naive enough this time to think its Niall the first time so i turned first as i get a glance of Harry before his lips reach mine.

But i hear the door open. And whilst trying to push a resistant harry off, I see my boyfriend in the corner of my eye.

Niall stood in shock as I gave Harry one more shove and i fell back onto my bed.
