Chapter Twenty-Two

Harry's POV

I smiled as I looked down at my sleeping beauty.

"Scar..." I whispered, "Scarlet baby wake up"

"Ugh I literally just got to sleep" she groaned, "What?"

I smiled.

"Let's go somewhere"

Her eyes widened.

"But Hazza Boo, it's like.... Midnight" she complained.

"My point exactly. MIDNIGHT MEMORIES! WOAH OH OH OH OH OH!" I sang.

She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Fine, but only because your face right now is absolutely adorable" she giggled, dragging herself out of bed.

I looked over into the darkness, looking hard into Scarlet's full length mirror.

My face I had been making literally looked like a baby with dimples on its cheeks.

*Mental Face Palm*

Scarlet giggled as she walked into her bathroom. She stopped, and turned around, her hair flipping and making her look rather sexy.

"Where exactly are we going?" she asked.

I picked up my purchases from earlier that I had laying on her bed, and handed her them.

"Just put these on" I smiled, handing her the items and she sent a wild grin in return.

"Alright" she winked, walking into the bathroom and locking the door behind her.

I sat excitedly, but sadly, as I waited for Scarlet to return.

She soon came out, in a pair of light denim shorts with rips and a black mid drift with the word 'Dream' across it in white.

"So... Are we beachin' it? Cause you did give me a bikini to put on..." She trailed off, tying her hair up in a ponytail.

I chuckled.

"Yeah, maybe"

She gasped.

"But it's night time Harry... Lifesavers won't be on duty" she smiled cheekily, lifting my white t-shirt over my head and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"Let's go" she sighed, patting the top of my head.

I smiled, adjusting my board shorts with my free hand.

We walked down, sneaking out of the apartment without being caught. You weren't allowed out after midnight. It was Ridgeways' policy.

Scarlet and I soon arrived, kicking off our shoes and Scarlet taking of her shorts and shirt, leaving her in a baby blue bikini.

We ran down the sand, still hand in hand. Hard to see, we dived messily into the water.

I felt the cold water glide through my hair, and my lungs expanded when my face met air.

"That's nice" Scarlet breathed, swimming over waves with ease as she came and wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.

"Now why'd you bring me here" she asked, pecking at my nose.

I sighed, smiling as I held her thighs so she couldn't fall.

"Well," I started as I jumped us over a wave, "I just thought because we are leaving for tour tomorrow, we might as well spend our last night somewhere we both love"

Scarlet's cheeks turned red, and her smile was unforgettable.

"Your so thoughtful" she smiled, brushing our lips together, "That's one of the many things I absolutely love about you"

I smirked.

"What else?"

She sent me a small smirk in return.

"You'll never know" she whispered, creeping in closer and closer to my face.

As our lips got slowly closer, and our foreheads pressed together, our lips slightly brushed.

About to pull her into a kiss, my hand went onto the back of her head.

And...

BAM!

A massive wave washed over the two of us, breaking our cute moment and washing us into shore.

As I was struggling to keep my balance while being pushed to shore, I felt a soft, gentle pair of lips meet mine.

I suddenly forgot how to breathe, how to swim, and how to think. All I could focus on was the pair of lips on top of mine.

We were finally washed up onto the shore, our kiss breaking by our laughter.

"That was the best date ever babe" Scarlet giggled.

"Your welcome" I smiled, chuckling as we headed back to her apartment for a little snooze.
