The Pool Boy

Finally! (29th Chapter)

… Arriving Back at the Hotel…

Melody's POV:

..........................

I spent the entire ride back crying. But, my water streams weren’t because of a sad feeling; they were happy tears. I felt like I, for once, did something that revolves less about me, and more about others. Its not like I don’t care at all, its that I never thought of it as an option.

The polite driver, Arthur, opened the door for me to hop out. I made sure to tip him, aside from the journey’s expenses. I don’t really understand why the world revolves around paper cash. Why does it matter that much to everybody? Come to think of it, how could paper make you important? How can it grant you some sort of authority over others? I shake my head at the mixed ideas, and slip my key card into the lock.

“Finally! I’ve been worried sick. Where were you?” Camille bashes me with her concerned questions, and I smile at her. “I went around town for a while. I didn’t want to wake you up, and I was a little bored. How about we go do some shopping?”

I suggest after explaining, and my best friend agrees directly. “I just need to change.” I announce and slip into something more comfortable (http://www.polyvore.com/cute_polish/set?id=114875216&lid=3328693).

…After Shopping (During Lunch)…

“I was thinking that we could return earlier than we planned. How about that?” I ask while I take a sip of my water glass. “(She chews) Yeah, sure. I mean I know you can’t keep the mystery guy waiting.” She teases and I groan. “Its not because of that. I just feel like we already have been to the same stores back in Malibu. Plus, all of the items are second string.” 

She nods in agreement, because we barely bought anything. All what the stores have, are identical to the ones back home. Adding to that, we already have most of the new releases already. “We could leave in two hours?” 

I suggest, and my friend smiles for an unknown reason. “What?” She shakes her head and sighs. “He really got you under his skin, didn’t he?”I blush deeply, and pretend that I didn’t hear what she stated.

Harry’s POV:

.......................

“For crying out loud, wipe your shoes!” I whine at Niall and Louis, they have been walking around the pool’s wet corners, and then stomping their shoes into the guesthouse. “Stop being a bugger, and answer me.” Louis jokes and I roll my eyes, while I relax beside my two mates.

“Where’s Blondie?” Louis smirks, and I shake my head thinking of a joke factor.“Beside you, isn’t he blonde enough to notice?” I ask while Louis and I cackle, leaving Niall with his beer bottle. “(His laughs slow, and he regains his focus) Seriously, Harry. Where is Melody?” Something inside me flutters like butterfly wings, at the sound of her name. I can’t wait to see her back with me… I mean here with me in the same house.

“She’s in England.” Niall and Louis exchange looks, and the stare back at me. “Will she be back soon?” Niall asks, and I breathe sadly.“Whoa, mate. I didn’t know your that into her!” Niall’s eyes widen, as I slide off the sofa. “Who said I am?” 

Louis’s knee nudges Niall’s, and the both chuckle under their breath. Before I curse their sneaky behavior, multiple knocks are placed on the door, it seems like the person is either anxious or angry. Once I open the door, I freeze into the ground like a light pole.

I am taken back from her leap into my arms, and I tumble a little backwards, but I catch us both before we drop. My arms hold her tight, and I allow myself to breath in her hair.

I am speechless that Melody is back sooner than expected, but thank god she is; I was already going insane without her. “I couldn’t be away any longer…” She whispers and I feel her sniffling into my chest. Why is she crying? God I hate it when she cries!
