Amber and Teagan had spent half of the day on the beach, and the other half walking around the beautiful harbour at Portofino. They had talked continually about their dinner date. Teagan was still amazed that Amber had agreed so readily. They had discussed what to wear over and over. They both ended up in the local boutique look at the Italian dresses. Amber had chosen a strapless fitted summer dress. White with large applique flowers stitched on. It showed of her tanned shoulders pulled in at the waist and flowed to the floor. Her silver sandals she had bought from home matched perfectly. Teagan had chosen a two piece outfit. A top that clung to the shoulders and finished just above her belly button, matched with a long a-line skirt, in pale blue. She had black leather sandals to wear with the outfit.
The girls spent the early evening getting ready. Make up, hair and lots of giggling.
They had arranged to meet Harry and Louis at the local taverna, at 8pm.
It was now 730pm and the girls grabbed their bags. As they walked towards the taverna Amber said, "just in case either of us don't want to stay, we need to have a safe word" she laughed as she said this. Teagan looked shocked, "what do you mean?" she retorted.  "Well" Amber explained "we have always said we would stick together no matter what, so if they turn out to be wierd and we want to leave, we need to have something to say to each other, which will mean that, that person wants to leave".
"Ah I see" Teagan smiled.
"how about, I've got a head ache? That would do wouldn't it? She asked.
Amber looked at Teagan, she said " I knew your weren't just a pretty face" she laughed out loud.
Teagan frowned and stuck out her tongue at Amber.
They were both still laughing as they entered the taverna. They both went to the bar as they couldn't see the boys yet.
As they stood waiting to be served Amber heard that soft voice whisper in heg ear. "wow you look so lovely this evening, I have a table booked come with me." Amber felt Harry's hand in the small of her back guiding her to the back of the taverna where a table was set for four. She suddenly realised she hadn't checked where Teagan was, but she was right behind her, chatting animatedly with Liam. She looked like she was totally into him.
Amber turned her attention back to Harry, he had pulled out one of the chairs for her. She sat and he pushed her into the table. She smiled at him, all her confidence drained away, she felt shy and giggly. "pull yourself together" she thought to herself.
"What would you like to drink ladies?" Louis asked. Teagan immediately said, "large glass of white wine please". Amber gave her a look which said remember how you felt this morning, take it easy girlfriend...
Amber said, "I like soft drinks, surprise me, something with fruity perhaps please."
"OK I'll be back soon" Louis replied.
That's when Harry spoke. "so girls where in England are you from?" Both girls responded at the same time, "Gloucestershire, in the Cotwolds" they said.
"Oh wow I've been there, such beautiful countryside. Perhaps Louis and I can come and visit you there?"
The girls looked at each other, did they think they would have headaches tonight? Nooo!!
The evening went well all of them had fun, and at the end of the evening Harry and Louis walked the girls back to their room in the hotel. "Thank you for a lovely evening Harry" Amber said, Harry smiled, "your welcome Amber, perhaps we can meet up at the beach tomorrow for some watersports?" he suggested. Amber gulped, not to loudly she hoped, watersports omg she thought. "Yes that would be great."she found herself saying.
Amber looked at Teagan for her opinion, but she was busy being wrapped in Louis arms. She rolled her eyes again.
" Amber, are you ok? "
Amber turned back suddenly to Harry who was speaking to her. " Um I'm fine sorry" she smiled.
"I love your smile" Harry said, "May I kiss you?"
Amber felt her face flush again but she nodded at him.
Harry bent his head, and gently touched his lips to hers. Amber melted inside. She kissed Harry back. It was a slow delicate kiss but Amber could tell Harry had experience by the way he held the small of her back and cupped her head.
Amber opened her eyes as Harry withdrew his face from hers. They smiled at each other.
"Good night Amber, sleep well dream of me" Harry said in a small low growl.
Amber smiled and nodded, she then grabbed Teagan who was still in Louis arms and pushed her through the bedroom door.
"Good night boys" Teagan said. She closed the door.
The girls now safely back in their own room looked at each other and started squealing, jumping up and down and hugging each other.
"what a day" Amber thought as she closed her eyes snuggling into bed.
