Summer to Remember

Chapter Forty Two

As always, I marvelled at the sight of London, what a gorgeous city. Harry took the highway and the scenery wasn't as great but I was too wrapped up in our conversation to care about the view. Suddenly I recognized the view as we got closer, this was the way to the beach house. "You're taking me to the beach house?" I squealed excitedly.

"Surprise!" he chuckled.

"But what about the disaster at the beach house?" I asked curiously.

"No worries, Paul got a bunch of security camera's installed so we're safe" he assured me.

"I'm not scared when you're with me" I admitted as I admired his perfect curls. We drove into the familiar neighbourhood, I was ecstatic to be here again! 

"We're here" he said as he parked onto the driveway. 

"I actually missed this place" I said as I hopped out of the car and breathed in the salty mist of the ocean. He stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. 

We stood there admiring the view of the ocean, we were in silence as we watched the waves collapse onto the shore. "Els, I love you" he whispered into my ear, those three words sent shivers down my spine and took my breath away. 

I turned my head to look into his green eyes, "I can't go on a day without you" I said as my heart skipped a couple beats.  

He put his arms around me and kissed my neck, "You're my everything" he said as we pulled apart. 

"Oh god, I love you soooo much" I grinned as I pinched is cheeks.

"Ouch!" he joked but I could see his cheeks turn pink, what can I say, I loved pinching his cheeks. 

We made our way inside the house and this time I noticed all the locks that had been installed on the door, the house was a mess when we left it but it was absolutely sparkling clean right now. I guess the boys hired people to clean the house after that disaster. I made my way up the stairs, following Harry. I set my luggage beside me and I was turning the knob to open my bedroom door but he quickly interrupted me "All bedrooms are off-limit except for mine" he said chuckling.

"Huh?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.

"Stay in my room with me?" he asked with hope in his eyes.

Not going to lie, sleeping next to him would be the most amazing thing ever. I remembered that one night he had told me to stay with him, I insisted on going to my own room but he wrapped his arms around me not letting me go. That was an unforgettable night, his breathing was like a lullaby to my ears. "Ummm..." I mumbled. 

"Please?" he asked once more.

"Fine, but only because I'll be scared of sleeping alone at night" I joked and I could see him hide his smile, he had accomplished the impossible because I wasn't the type of girl to convince easily. I set my luggage next to his as we entered his huge bedroom, memories flooded back as I looked around the room. 

"Shall we go swimming?" he asked excitedly.

"We shall" I said as I unzipped my luggage and searched for my bikini, I didn't need a cover-up this time, nobody other than Harry was here. Harry quickly ran into his bathroom to change into his swim trunks, it took literally a second. I ran in and changed quickly and walked out while tying my hair in a ponytail. 

I could tell he was checking me out from across the room, "Stop it's embarrassing" I said.

"Why? You're perfect" he said as he got up and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled sheepishly, trying my best not to blush.
