Summer to Remember

Chapter Nineteen

After Louis barging into the room, Harry and I decided to go downstairs to greet the other guys. Before I entered the living room, I looked out the front porch window to see what Niall and Rebecca were up to. They were absolutely adorable, walking side by side along the beach laughing about something.

"Awww" I said not aware that I had spoken out loud.

"They're cute, aren't they?" a voice said from behind me and I already knew it was Zayn speaking.

"Yeah, absolutely adorable" I said grinning. I thought about everything that Zayn told me and I decided that I was not going to be rude and ignore him, after all he was one of Harry's closest friends and I didn't want their friendship to end because of me. Don't get me wrong, I was flattered to find out he liked me, I've mentioned before that he is really sweet and attractive but I'm head over heels for Harry, not him. Everyone else was in the living room so Zayn took this opportunity to apologize to me about last night

"Ella, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you" he said quietly.

"It's okay Zayn, I'm not mad at you" I confessed and his brown eyes sparkled with happiness instantly.

"Great, how about we start over?" he said and I accepted his offer.

"What are you guys doing?" Harry said from behind us.

"Admiring the love between Niall and Rebecca" I said.

"Oh really?" he said sarcastically. "How about you admire the love between us?" he said as he put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. For some odd reason I didn't feel comfortable with Zayn beside us so I loosened his grip on my waist and tried to act casual.

"Something wrong?" Harry questioned with a puzzled look on his face.

"No silly! I just don't feel comfortable with people around" I confessed into his ear and he smirked.

After about an hour, I was lounging on the sofa when Harry came up to me "Ella Wilson, would you accept my offer to go on a date with me tonight?" he asked loudly.

"Let me check my schedule" I joked and he faked a sad face. "Of course!" I said accepting his offer.

"Good, this evening at 6 then" he said with a sigh of relief. Harry walked up to Rebecca and whispered something into her ear that got me wondering but I didn't question anything.

Afterwards, Rebecca and I decided to go up to our room to unpack our clothing. "It's stunning" she said as she opened the bedroom door.

"I know, right?" I agreed admiring the beautiful room overlooking the ocean. Just then my phone rang and I answered immediately when I saw that my uncle Paul was phoning "Uncle Paul!" I exclaimed into the phone.

"Ella, hun, how are you?" he asked.

"I'm great, how was your flight?" I replied.

"Great, so you guys are at the beach house, huh?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful here" I confessed.

"Are the boys being good to you?" he said and that's when I realized that my uncle had no clue about Harry and I.

"Yeah, they're amazing" I beamed, I decided to tell him about our relationship afterwards since it had only been two days. Our conversation went on for a while, he asked if the house was in good condition and if Harry sped on the way to beach house. He was just being an over-protective uncle and I honestly admired that.

"Must be great being Paul's niece" Rebecca said after I hung up.

"Oh, it is" I said sarcastically and we both chuckled. Time flew by and it was already 4:30 so I decided to get ready for my date with Harry.

"What should I wear?" I asked Rebecca who had plopped herself on the bed and was typing away. She didn't hear me so I decided to get her attention by saying "Are you writing a love letter to Niall?".

"Huh? Oh my gosh, no..." she said as her cheeks blushed.

"I'm just joking" I giggled, "So what should I wear?" I asked once again.

Rebecca quickly sat up and walked over to my luggage and searched for the perfect outfit. After what seemed like forever, she decided on a cute floral dress with a pair of nude wedges. She insisted on doing my hair so I let her go for it, I have to admit she was a professional at hair. My hair looked perfect for once, she put my hair in a waterfall braid and curled the ends.

"Wow!" I said as I admired my hair in the mirror.

"Time for makeup!" she said as she turned my chair away from the mirror. She finalized the look with a neutral smokey eye and I was amazed by her skills.

"I freaking love you!" I exclaimed as I got out of my chair to hug her.

"Anytime, you're a beauty so it was easy!" she said laughing. Looking over at the time, I realized we had finished right on time, it was 5:55 so I grabbed my nude colored purse and followed Rebecca out of the room. I had never been this excited to go on a date with a guy, tonight was going to be amazing!
