Best Summer Ever

Chapter 12

“Does it make you feel alive. Don’t look back, live you’re life, even if it’s only for the night.” -One Direction, Alive

Dani’s POV

The next day, I woke up, put my hair into a messy bun, and walked out into the kitchen. I made some tea, and then went and sat on the couch. I decided to turn the T.V. on. Oh, it’s 12:00 p.m.

What?! It’s 12:00 p.m.? I have a date with Harry in less than 4 hours, and I’m still in my pajamas.

I finished my tea, ran into my room, and hopped in the shower. I washed my hair, then got out and blow dried it so that it wasn’t frizzy. My hair was naturally straight, so I decided to leave it, and just french braid the front part of my hair, where my bangs would be.

I found a red and white striped dress, with a silver belt, that went just under the knees. I paired it with a brown leather bag, and some reddish pink heels. I put on some mascara, eyeliner, a little bit of eye-shadow, and some light pink lip-gloss I found some silver Aviators to finish off my look, and I was ready to go.

I looked at my phone, and I saw I had a text. It was from Harry.

Harry: I’ll pick you up at 3:00 xxx

Dani: Ah-kay :)

I looked at the clock and saw that it was 2:50. I made some touch-ups to my make up, and then the doorbell rang.

I ran to the door, and before I opened it, I made sure my hair was okay, and fixed my dress. I opened the door and was met by a handsome Harry. He was wearing a white polo and a navy blue blazer, with black skinny jeans.

“You like what you see?”

“Was I staring?”

“Yeah. But don’t be embarrassed. I would’ve stared too, I mean look at me. Oh god, I’m starting to sound like Zayn,” he chuckled.

“Haha, but really you look nice.”

“Thanks. So do you. You ready?”

“Yup,” I said popping the ‘p’.

“Then off we go m’lady,” Harry joked around.

He opened the door to his car for me, and then went and got into the driver’s seat.

“Where are we going,” I asked being my curious old self.

“That, love, is for me to know and you to find out.”

“Fine.”

I turned the radio on, and saw that ‘The Way’ by Ariana Grande was on. I automatically started singing. It got to the rap part, and Harry started rapping.

“I make you feel so fine, make you feel so fine, I hope you hit me on my selli when I sneak in your mind, you’re a princess to the public but a freak when it’s time, said you’re bed be feeling lonely, so you sleeping in mine. Come and, watch a movie with me, American Beauty or Bruce Almighty that’s groovy, just come and move closer to me. I got some feelings for you, I’m not gonna get bored of so baby you an adventure let me come and explore you.”

I stared at him with my jaw dropped.

“You know the words to this song?!”

“Yeah.”

“Why didn’t you tell me,” I asked while slapping his arm.

“Because you never asked. Why does it matter,” he chuckled.

“Because I LOVE Ariana Grande!”

He laughed really hard at that.

“So that’s why you slapped me like 5 times just now?”

“Yeah. I got really excited. I get it from Katie. Now can I know where we are going?”

“NO. Because we are here.”

I looked outside and saw that we were at a park.

He took my hand and led me down a path. the path led into the trees, and then came into a clearing. There was a blanket set out in the middle of the clearing, and candles surrounding the blanket area. There was a pond near the edge of the clearing. It was starting to get dark, so the candles were the only thing lighting up the place. It looked really beautiful.

“Harry it’s so beautiful.”

I turned to look at Harry, and saw that he was already looking at me. He took my hand and lead me to the blanket. We got there, and sat down, and I saw that there was a picnic basket there.

Harry pulled out little sandwiches, crackers, grapes, and chocolate. This was going to be a great night. I could already tell.

********

After eating and talking about ourselves a little bit, Harry got up, pulled out his phone, and put on some slow music.

“Would you like to dance?”

He held out his hand to me. I took his hand and got up. We were still on the blanket though. He snaked his arms around my waist, and I put my arms around his neck. Halfway through the song, I put my head on his shoulder. The song ended and we thought another slow song was going to come on, but an upbeat song came on.

He put one hand on my hip and took my hand in his other hand. I put my free hand on his shoulder, and we started moving. He swung me around, and we were just laughing and dancing. After a bit, we layed down on the blanket.

We layed down next to each other, looking at the stars.

“It’s so beautiful,” I said.

Harry got up so that he was leaning back on hand, and his face was over mine.

“I see something even more beautiful. It’s you.”

He looked into my eyes, and then down at my lips. I did the same. He started leaning in, and before I knew it his soft lips were on mine. Our lips moved in perfect harmony. While holding on to our kiss, I got up so that I was leaning back on hand too. I took my other hand, and put it behind his head and started playing with his hair. He smiled in the middle of the kiss, and it made me giggle. Sitting there with him, made it feel like we were the only one’s in the world. Nothing else matter. It was just me and him.

He went to pull away, but I pulled him back. I pulled with a little too much force though, because it made me fall onto my back with him on top of me. I kept playing with his hair which made him laugh and made me smile. We pulled away, breathless. He got off me and layed down next to me. I moved closer and put my head on his chest, and he wrapped his arm around me.

“I think that was the most magical kiss I’ve ever had,” he said.

“Same.”

“Hey it’s getting late, we better go,” he said getting up and offering me a hand. I took his hand and got up. “But there’s one more thing I want to do before we leave.”

He picked up a candle and so did I. I didn’t notice this before but the candles were shaped like water lilies. He took my hand and led me over to the pond, he got down and motioned for me to sit down too. He put his candle down on the grass, and then came next me and held my hands from the side. He took my arms and helped me put the candle into the water. We did the same with the other candle too. We sat there, me in his arms, and watched the candles float across the pond.

He got up and helped me up too. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers. We walked down the path, back to his car, without a care in the world.
