bea (h.s.)

four

I wake up and the first thing I think about is Harry. I have to tell Ava everything that happened. I walk to her room and she's still asleep, but I don't care, I climb into her bed and spoon her from the back.

"It's too early," she grumbles.

"It's 10:30, and we lots to do today, and the boys are coming along," I tease.

She sighs and rolls over so that we're facing each other.

"How was curly haired dream boat," she teases me back.

"I don't kiss and tell," I laugh, "just kidding, yes I do. He's so sweet and genuine. We went on a walk across the beach and just talked and he's amazing. When we kissed it wasn't like anything else I've felt. Even just holding his hand was amazing." I sigh and lay back on the bed.

"Ohhh, Bea got her self a lover boy," she jokes.

"What about you? How was Niall?"

"Let me just say, amazing in bed," I laugh at her response.

"You know how to jump to it," she laughs with me.

"He was really sweet though, we talked a bit after but we were so tired I came home to sleep."

"Tired, huh?" She rolls her eyes at me.

"We better get ready, I need to look hot so Niall stays interested," she says as she stands up.

"Ugh, my head is killing me," she groans as she rubs her temples.

"You and Niall really pounded down those drinks last night," she glares at me because of my response.

I look through my clothes and find a pair of leggings and I try to decide what top to wear. I decide on a comfortable light flannel and I go to the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I put on light makeup and put a few curls in my hair. I finish getting ready before Ava so I go sit on her bed while she finishes. We're talking more about last night and we share every detail, including things I probably didn't need to know about her night with Niall.

There's a knock at the door which surprises both of us. It must be the boys, we don't know anyone else. We hadn't had a time planned so I guess they took initiative. We both stand up and make our way to the door. I open the door to see Harry and Niall standing there with a couch next to them.

"Happy new apartment," they both say smiling.

"What's this?" I ask.

"We knew you guys needed furniture, and we need a place to sit when we come over, so it's more selfish than anything," Harry says.

"Awww, you guys are so sweet thank you so much, you can bring it in the living room," Ava says welcoming in the boys. They carry in the couch and I can't get over how nice the sentiment is. 

"I just need to finish getting ready," Ava says, "Niall, do you want to keep me company?"

"Of course," he says following her to her room.

Harry laughs and walks over to me. "I couldn't stop thinking about you."

His words make me blush and I hope he doesn't notice. "I couldn't stop thinking about you either. Last night was really great."

"It was," he pulls me close and I look up at him as he's leaning forward and I meet him half way and our lips touch. We kissed just last night but I missed it more than I realized. We pull away and I feel my cheeks blushing again.

"She takes ages to get ready, let's test that couch you got us."

I sit down first and he sits right next to me and pulls my legs over his lap to where I'm nearly sitting on him, but I don't mind at all. I love being close to him.

"How'd you sleep?" He takes my hand in his and his thumb traces the side of mine.

"I slept okay, I had someone on my mind though," I tease and Harry places his other hand on my thigh which gives me butterflies.

"Is that so?" He laughs softly and lets go of my hand and moves his hand to my cheek. I learn forward and he does the same and we kiss, but this time it's deeper than before and I put my arms around his neck. The kiss is passionate and both of us are getting into it more than before. He puts his hand on my thigh once again and he pulls me as close to him as I can be. He kisses me harder and I kiss him back. We're in sync and I could stay like this forever.

We're interrupted by giggling next to us. We pull away and both turn to Niall and Ava watching us.

"It's like you didn't even miss us," Niall says.

Harry laughs and rolls his eyes and I move to stand up and he follows. Even when we stand he puts his hand on my back. Less than 24 hours ago I didn't even know he existed and now I crave his constant touch. I've experienced a night changing everything, but in my past it had always been for the worst. When I was kicked out and when Olivia died it was like a whirlwind of destruction, but with Harry it feels perfect.

"Are you guys ready to go?" I ask trying to take the attention off of Harry and myself.

"Yeah, let's hit the road." Niall replies.

I lead the way out the door and Harry is right behind me, his hand not leaving my back. Niall and Ava are behind us, and this time they're the ones laughing. I shake my head at them and Harry looks at me and chuckles. When he smiles his dimples show and his eyes become brighter.

Harry takes the lead and we walk towards a jeep. He walks to the passenger side and opens the door for me, and I climb in. Niall and Ava slide into the back. Harry walks around the front of the car to get to the driver's seat and I'm amazed at how beautiful he looks so casually. He plugs in his phone and turns on music and I'm surprised by how similar our music taste is.

"You have good taste," I turn to him.

"In music or women?" He smirks at me which flatters me of course, but makes me nervous.

"Gross!" Niall yells from the back seat which makes everyone laugh.

"The first place we want to take you is about a thirty minute drive if that's alright" Harry says as he pulls out of the parking lot. 

"Fine by us!" Ava replies, her and Niall already all over each other in the back seat. I chuckle but I wonder if they're going to be like this all day. I'm happy for them but I'm worried it'll put pressure on me and Harry. I don't see him as someone that has to impress or take things fast, but I tend to overthink these things.

Harry turns the music up and I look out the window watching the people on the beach and trying to take note of my surroundings. I see more small bars and cute shops. The sun is bright and it sets in that I'm really making a new life for myself, and I have really amazing people by my side. 

Harry puts his hand on my thigh and and I put my hand in his and intertwine our fingers. He's wearing a t shirt with a neckline low enough that I can see his tattoos peaking through. I've always loved tattoos and they suit him well. His hair is messy but perfect at the same time and his hands are soft against mine.

"What?" He says, and I realize he caught me staring at him.

"You're beautiful," I say it quietly so that only he can hear.

"Beautiful?" He laughs, "No one has ever called me that before."

"It's true," I reply and he gives me a sweet smile in response.

He lightly squeezes my hand and I squeeze his back. Ava and Niall's make out session is getting progressively louder. Harry turns the music louder to drown out their sounds. For the rest of the drive we sing along to music, his hand still in mine, and I watch the scenery as we continue to drive.
