"So, your telling me that your most defiantly not buying a new sexy bikini because mr harry styles is back in town?" Louis crossed his arms while I scanned though the bikinis.

"nope, I need a new one I can't even remember the last time I wore one" I shrugged, my eyes glued to the bikini rales, popping the 'p' on 'nope'

"Didn't you literally buy one like last week for the camping trip?" Louis raised his eyebrows not convinced.

"Yeah but that's not the point, besides I ordered it online and it hasn't come yet" I stick my tongue out picking out a pink bikini.

A pink triangle bikini with black around the edges caught my eye, oh and the bottoms the matching bottoms.

I obviously had to try it on, I mean it was practically calling my name.

As we walk to the changing rooms and I begin to try the bikini on, I fill Louis in on the gossip with Harry, he is my best friend after all.

"So, you need to find out what his real reason is for being here and who the girl who lives opposite him is" I inform him while tying a knot in the back of the bikini ready to give him a fashion show.

"Ohhh Leah? She lives opposite him, year below us I think she's going tomorrow actually..

Anyway, she's so fit why are you wanting to know again?" Louis replies on the other side of the curtain.

I can hear him talking to someone other than myself but dismiss it, I mean he could be talking to himself this is louis after all.

"What does she look like?" I ask quickly examining myself and taking a picture to send to the group chat for opinions.

Can't buy a bikini without their honest opinions of course!

"Well, she's pretty fit to be honest, long blonde hair, tanned, blue eyes" I could literally hear him drooling over her.

"Louis that's not helping! Ugh I bet I look like a ugly bitch next to her" I sigh with annoyance whipping the curtain back to show louis my choice.

"Not in that you don't, Jesus" a deep husky voice says startling me

You have to be kidding me.

I felt everything freeze around me, not knowing what to do or how to react I just stared at him, only his eyes were everywhere but my eyes.

Maybe if I close my eyes and re-open them this will all be a dream?

HES there, here of all places why God? Why? I'm stood there in this stupid bikini and a messy bun, my legs aren't shaved, I can't remember the last time I went to the gym, I can't even imagine the sight he's seeing.

Wait didn't he just compliment me?
No, it was sarcasm, it has to be.

Realising I'm still stood there half naked I pull the curtain over myself, my head still peeking out in pure embarrassment I look at Louis who's staring at me his face plastered with a smile.

"I agree with Haz, that one, now hurry up we didn't even come shopping for you!" He realises how embarrassed I feel, yet I try to cover it up by acting like I'm not bothered but its pretty obvious I am.

"No, no, if you want to show us a few more to help us decide which suits you, I'd be more than happy to help" Harry winks, why is he like this? Why is he even here?

"In your dreams Hun. I'll be 2 minutes Louis"

I quickly change back into my clothes grabbing the bikini to take to the till, pulling back the curtain the boys are still located in the seats in the middle of the changing rooms.

"You ready then?" I ask louis who stands up happy he can finally get his mums present, I wave bye at harry and head to the till.

As I'm lined up to buy my item, I hear a laugh, a laugh that couldn't be more fake if they tried, causing me to turn around with curiosity. I wish I didn't.

"Harry,, stop" She laughed flicking her hair. Not subtle at all, his hands carrying her shopping and his face smiling, a proper smile, dimples showing and teeth on show.

I quickly turn my head a round before he catches me. My heart aches, it's nothing their properly not even together, it could be his sister?

Who am I kidding, his sister doesn't look like that. He's moved on, I wish I could.

"I couldn't physically describe her while you were trying your bikini on because she was literally in the changing room next to you" Louis mumbled realising I'd noticed her.
So that's the girl from across the road?

"oh. She really is pretty" I whispered no wonder he cheated on me. Well supposedly

"NEXT" the cashier shouted aiming at me.
.........................
I got home after spending at least an hour while louis picked out which card to buy his mum that wasn't too childish, too grown up or obvious that I picked it out not him.

I physically can't picture Harry cheating on me, yeah, we progressively argued more, became more frustrated and annoyed with each other, but he'd never go that low.

I was determined to find out everything from who she was to her favourite colour, and there was only one person I knew could do that better than anyone (other than myself) my sister.

I knocked on her door, I could hear her talking to someone, not sure who.

"Come in" She shouted from the opposite side of the door.
She was wearing grey shorts and a pink t-shirt sat crossed legged on her bed on facetime to one of her mates, I think.

"I need your advice" I said honestly sitting down on her bed
"Yeah, sure say hi to Leah, we'll help you won't we Lee?" she turned her laptop, so I could wave.

"Yeah what's up" Leah said on the other side of the camera still not showing her face.

"Well apparently I got cheated on and I don't know what I'm meant to believe, so I need your opinion I overhead Mia talking about how Ha...." I was about to begin the juicy update on my life when Leah spoke up interrupting me.

Its then I realised, SHE is the girl from the shop, lives across from him and she was not about to listen to me spill my life out but here me slag her off and be the main part of my story.

"Harry, can you tell my mum to hurry up with the food because I'm starving"
she asked him quietly not wanting to interrupt me maybe?

But the volume was on full, so I heard it loud and clear. Ouch he's with her.
