I woke up alone in the bed and sat up to look around. The balcony doors were open and a light breeze made the curtains gently waft in and out of the room. The sun was streaming in through the open doorway, filling the room with warmth and light. The quilt was messed up on Harry's side of the bed; my side was still wrapped around my body.

I flopped back down into the bed and yawned. I felt something pointy digging into my arm so I felt around until I found it. It was a piece of hotel paper with a message from Harry.

"Had to go to work, slept later than expected, oops! I didn't want to wake you, you look so beautiful when you sleep and so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you. Last night was so amazing I can't even describe how I feel. I'll see you later.

Lots of love, Harry xxxx"

I twisted over to the bedside table to look at the time on my phone before realizing it would be in my bag, on the chair in the living room where it had been thrown in our haste to get to the bedroom last night. I blushed at the memory.

I climbed out from under the quilt and slipped on the dressing gown provided by the hotel. I trailed my hand along my dress as I walked past it, remembering the night before.

The clutch was where I'd left it. It was 1pm! I'd slept for ages! I had 5 messages on my phone that I hadn't seen. One was off my Mom.

"That's beautiful! Lucky girl, you'll look gorgeous in it! Enjoy and ring me tomorrow xx"

I had one off Louis, which was a surprise, saying "Yo. Is Harry up? We need to go, he's late! X" and then another one saying "Never mind, he's here now. Looking tired, you should let him sleep more ;) x"

I read through the rest of the texts before ringing Bay.

"Sleeping beauty is finally awake then! Did you have a good night?" I winced as she shouted down the phone. She had a habit of doing that, it's like she forgets that there's a phone between us, she must think she's shouting across the country to me.

"You don't need to shout!" I muttered. "Yeah, I'm awake. It was amazing!" I sighed. "It was perfect, I can't get over it. I just can't describe how amazing it was." I couldn't help but gush to her.

"Sounds like you enjoyed. You looked stunning! You're on the internet mind! You're on Perez Hilton and loads of different sites! Google your name, you'll pop right up."

"I'm on Perez Hilton? Bloody hell! I used to be obsessed with that site and I'm on it? That's epic! I'll look now. What are you up to today?" I grabbed my laptop from the side as I spoke.

I walked onto the balcony and sat at the table as she spoke. "I nearly screamed when I saw you! Um, well I'm just staying here. I was up late with Niall last night and Danielle went out with Liam, I haven't spoken to her yet today so I assumed she was just doing the same."

I tucked my feet under me as I waited for my laptop to load. "Oh right, yeah that's fine. Do you want to go down to the pool or something?" I opened the internet browser and went straight to Perez Hilton.

"Sounds great, I assume you're not ready or anything, so give it a few hours?" She guessed right.

"Yeah, meet you by the pool at 3?" I searched Harry's name on Perez Hilton and the first picture that came up was me and him.

"Perfect, see you then!" I hung up and clicked on the post.

"Harry Styles Lady in Red!

One fifth of Britain's top boy band popped out for a bite to eat in Café La Boheme last night with his girlfriend.

18 year old Lilo stepped out in a scarlet red Alexander McQueen dress, black Christian Louboutin heels and carried a black Alexander McQueen clutch in one hand and her hunky 18 year old boyfriend Harry Styles in the other. Harry was wearing a Dolce and Gabbana suit that fitted his toned body perfectly.

People from inside the restaurant have said they spent the whole night gazing into each others eyes, looking loved up and constantly smiling. One witness said 'They looked so happy. Especially Lilo, she looked like the cat that got the cream!'

We're not surprised, with a boyfriend like that we'd be smiling like a cat that got the cream too!"

I couldn't help but squeal to myself. I went onto Google news and searched Harry. Loads of sites came up and all had the same few photos of us.

I sent one of the photos to my phone and made it the wallpaper. I closed the lid of my laptop and hugged my knees on the chair. The sun was filling the sky, glittering and shimmering on the turquoise ocean and people were running around on the sand, I could hear some screams and squeals drifting across to where I was sat. The heat was already intense on my skin so I stood up and went inside to get ready.
