I immediately pull away turning to the bush too. "I uh I don't know." I stare anxiously. "Harry! You're gonna blow our cover!" I hear Louis whisper-shout. I see Jay creasing his forehead in confusion and my anxiety fades as I realize who are behind those plants. "ssshhh! Shut up guys! I think she heard us!" Liam does the same as Louis.
I don't know whether to confront or ignore them but it's clear that Jay has also heard their conversation and he's probably going to want an explanation. "Yes, 'she' has boys." I roll my eyes, annoyed.
I mean who wouldn't be? I was about to experience a magical moment with Jay and they ruined it! "What are you guys doing here?" My tone more cold then I wanted it to be. The boys shuffled out from behind the bush. Zayn shoved Niall in front of them. They knew I'd fall for anything Niall says because he always makes things seem better, with his adorable smile.
But not this time. This time they had better have a damn good explanation. "Um uh, you know just chilling by the pool." Niall stutters, scratching the back of his neck. "Behind a bush?" Jay raises an eyebrow as I try not to giggle at him. He then receives five death glares. I glance over to him, noticing how he's taken aback by their hostility.
"Yea Jay's got a point. Besides I thought you guys said you're going to the game room." I become defensive, placing my hands on my hips. I notice Jay smile at this, which in turn gives me butterflies making it harder to keep up my 'bad-girl' act.
"Uh, change of plans. The room was too full." Louis almost questions his response, knowing how lame it was. I narrow my eyes at them. "Yea. But we should get going, it's getting late. Nice seeing you again Jay." Liam fake yawns. "Yeah you guys too." Jay waves as they practically scurry away. Jay turns to me,"Hey, listen your friends are right it is getting late and I don't wanna keep you up so, see you tomorrow?" He smiles politely.
I wanted to scream at him to stay here with me all night, I wanted to convince him not to leave so we could finally have our magical moment but instead I merely choked out a, "Yeah, sure." I looked up into his eyes, which were still twinkling due to the lights.
He simply pecked me on the cheek, and hugged me. He didn't seem to make much of it and yet I felt like I was about the explode. His warm, muscular arms around me, it just felt so right. We pulled away and shared a last smile as I head to my room and he does the same, I can't help but glance back in his direction, just to get a last sneak peak at his perfection.
As I walk towards my room, anger builds within me. What the heck were the boys doing there? And what were they trying to do? They ruined everything! I could still be having a good time with Jay now, but no. Of course they had to mess up my perfect night. My pace increases as I almost tear the door open in frustration.
"Back so soon?" Harry questions casually, lying on his bed with his phone in his hand. "How dare you even ask me that after what you guys have done?" I ask with a raised voice, which gets all of their attention on me. "What'd we do?" Zayn asks oh so innocently. "What did you do?" I say lowering my voice, folding my arms over my chest.
"Oh, I'll tell you what you did. Jay and I were about to -" I had to stop my rant for a second to rephrase my words because I couldn't tell them we were about to kiss as that would just be awkward.
"I mean, we were having a good time until you guys came and ruined everything! What were you guys even doing there? If I hadn't known better I would've thought you guys were stalking me!" Raising my hands in frustration as I continued my rant session.
After my last sentence, I noticed their faces go pale and I'm not sure for what reason they reacted this way. Were they stalking us? To make sure I was safe with Jay? Liam did mention their distrust about Jay earlier.
Why would they try to protect me?
"Wow. Someone's got an ego." Louis laughs as he nonchalantly turns the page of the magazine he was reading. "What?" I ask in confusion. "Yea Dee, not everything has got to do with you." Harry playfully rolls his eyes.
I look at them with disbelief. "Wait. How did this become about me? This is about you, and what you guys were doing." I say crinkling my eyebrows.
"You made it about you!" Liam laughs. "We were actually there watching this pretty girl sitting close to the beach. And I wouldn't call that stalking either." He continues, turning to me.
"Oh really? And what about when you guys became panic stricken when Jay and I noticed you?" I raised my eyebrows. "That's because Harry almost blew our cover with his shuffling. She got up and walked away so we thought she heard us." Niall giggled turning to Harry.
"Yea we didn't even know you guys were around until you spoke to us." Zayn finished with a smile. "But-" I tried to argue but stopped myself again.
They knew Jay said we'd meet at the pool deck, but maybe they forgot. Maybe it was just a mere coincidence that they were there. Why would I even think or suggest that they'd be there for me?
Temporary insanity. That's what I'll blame it on.
It was a bit conceited of me to think in this way and I was way too tired to argue any further. "Okay nevermind. Let's just pretend this never happened. But I hope you guys feel guilty about ruining my date!" I sigh, taking my pajamas out of my bag.
"Oh trust me, Dee. The guilt is eating me alive." Louis adds with a sarcastic grin. The boys laugh as I roll my eyes playfully. "Whatever." I wave a hand, walking into the bathroom, dismissing the conversation.
I then slip on my pajamas after washing my face and removing my make up as well as brushing my teeth. My hair goes into an messy bun before I walk out the door to find the boys also ready for bed.
I get into my bed covering myself with my sheets, I was about to switch the light off but I was interrupted as Zayn called my name. "Dee?" He asks softly. "Yea?" I turn to him. "We're sorry." He smiles. "Really?" I smile softly back at him.
"Yeah we really are sorry Dee." Liam says. "We didn't mean to ruin everything for you and Jay." Niall says in the cutest way possible. "Please forgive us?" Harry pouts, leaving me in a fit of giggles.
"You know I cant stay mad at you for long. I would be mad not to forgive you guys." I laugh. "I would give you a hug but I'm too tired to get up." Niall laughs. "Same!" Zayn and Liam agree. "Maybe you'd like to come here and give me a hug Dee?" Harry grins, patting the space on the bed beside him. "In your dreams Styles." I laugh along with the lads.
I notice Lou not taking part in the conversation, which is weird because Lou is always talking. "Lou are you alright?" I ask concerned. "Yea I'm good." He says switching off the lamp on his bedside table.
"Goodnight guys." He finishes. "Night Lou." We say. This was weird of Lou but I didn't question it because we were all tired after this long day. "Alright guys, I'm so tired so Goodnight, love you." I say as I yawn, stretch and continue to switch my lamp off.
"Goodnight Dee, love you too?" They say in unison, copying my actions. I smile at this, resting my head comfortably on pillow.
