Save This Moment

Chapter 18: You Know All The Right Things To Say

Harry and I get back to the hotel and waste the day away relaxing. It feels good because we’re always moving; and even though I hide it, I’m pretty exhausted. I flop down on the bed in our room. I can't comprehend that I'm his girl. He's Harry Styles. The boy who's been caught drinking, sneaking chicks into his hotel, and who likes "cats." Was this bad boy look a whole publicity stunt? I had to think so. I watch him walk around the room on his phone. He sang a song to me... in public... asking me to be his girlfriend. I’m pretty sure that means he's more of a romantic.

While I was thinking to myself I tell him, "Harry I need you to know that I don't drink..."

That was probably a little blunt, but if we are going to parties and stuff he needs to know.

"Yeah, I understand that. I actually want to try to stop drinking."

I look at him and see that he's looking pretty seriously back at me. He hasn't drunk a drop of alcohol around me yet, and I realize that it might be because of me.

"What? That's really sweet of you, but you don't need to sober up for me. I'm totally fine with you going out and having fun. Don't let me hold you back," I say pretty awkwardly.

It’s not like I’m not fun to be around, I’m actually pretty big at parties; but some people like the drinking kind of “fun.”

"Nah, it's okay. It's really not that fun being all drunk like that; and anyways you are my fun! I also do dumb stuff when I'm drunk and I don't want to risk losing you to something stupid."

I look him over, "Awhhh."

I give him a quick kiss on the cheek. Geez that was so perfect.

We walk into the main room with the other boys.

"Hey do you guys still want to go to the bonfire at the beach tonight?"

Zayn responds, "How many people are going to be there?"

"Hmm I'm guessing a lot. But Drew, the guy who came up to me, said it was going to be a ton of fun."

Niall looks at me, "So wait, this guy just came up to you... And invited you to a beach party? Wow he must've really liked you," he smirks at Harry.

Harry throws a pillow at him.

I laugh, "Ha-ha he seemed cool; not really my type, but it was nice of him to invite us."

Louis looks around the room, "Why not lads, we never turn down a good party."

Zayn says, "Yeah let's go check it out, see what it's like."

We all get ready. For me, beach means shorts and a cute shirt so that's exactly what I put on. The boys dress similarly casual in khaki shorts and shirts. They're so chill. My type of people.

I text Amanda, 'We'll meet you at the beach!'

We head out again, Harry and I in the R8 and the boys in the Rover. I roll down the window and smell the salty air as we near the beach. I love summer nights in Los Angeles. It's hot during the day, but always perfect temperature at night. We pull up to one of the beach parking lots and get out.

"Whoa."

A huge bonfire is the only source of light there is, but it's covering a giant distance. A bunch of people walk around the fire, sit on logs, and laugh their heads off.

"This is so cool!"

The boys and I walk towards the fire. I see Drew run over to us with his recognizable muscular figure. Gawd he is so cute.
