Our room was a nice little suite. There was a large bathroom, two beds, a flat screen TV, and a small living room.
Mckenzie ran to a bed and jumped onto it, wrinkling the nicely folded sheets. "This is going to be so amazing!" She squealed. I nodded and set my bags on the opposite bed.
Half an hour later I finished unpacking and quickly changed into my new bikini I had bought for the trip.
Mckenzie was already changed when I walked out of the bathroom. She wore a red and white polka dot bikini. "Cute suit!" I compliment while getting a couple towels.
She smiled, "Thanks! You think Luke will like it?"
I laughed and nodded. We walked out of the hotel room and knocked on the guys door. "Just a minute!" Someone yelled from the other side. We impatiently waited until Calum appeared at the door.
"Can we come in?" I asked. He peaked into the room then back to us. He nodded and opened the door. Their room was identical to ours with just a little more room for a third bed.
Ashton was lounging on the couch. He had already changed into his bathing suit and was now eating a bag of potato chips.
Michael stood by a bed, over his suit case. Clothes were falling out of the case and onto the floor. He began to fold them sloppily into piles next to the bed on a small dresser.
Luke appeared from the bathroom. He wore a bright green pair of swim trunks and a black snapback. He nodded to us in greeting while he looked for towels.
Everyone stood outside the hotel door ten minutes later. "To the pool!" Ashton yelled. His voice echoed down the empty hall.
"Where is the pool?" I asked. Ashton shrugged and began to sprint down the hall. Everyone chased after him with a half run half walk pace.
It took quite awhile to find the doors that lead outside, into a garden with fountains all around.
Ashton didn't take anytime to look at them. Instead he kept running, slipping on a puddle by a leaking fountain. Everyone laughed as he rubbed his hurt butt.
The pool was directly next to the ocean. It's water spilled into the salty water. I awed over the view and took a few pictures. Mckenzie found a group of open beach chairs that we could sit at.
I situated into my seat to tan. Just before I closed my eyes a waiter came to us. "Good afternoon everyone!" He greeted.
I smiled, "Afternoon!" He wore a red Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts.
"Could I get you anything to drink, maybe a margarita? They're a big hit!" He looked to all of us.
I eyed the boys and Mckenzie. "What's do you recommend?" I asked.
The waiter thought before replying, "Something fruity like a mango tango."
"That sounds wonderful, I'll have one of those." I said. The man wrote down my order then everyone else's.
When he found us again I was given a red and yellow slushy drink. It tasted tangy yet fruity. I finished it and ordered another within ten minutes.
We all enjoyed our drinks while watching the ocean waves and cooking in the sun. "Let's go swim!" Michael exclaimed when he finished his drink. Everyone stood except Mckenzie and I.
I sipped on my drink while the boys began to beg us to go swimming. I shook my head and was entertained by their pleads. Finally Ashton yelled, "Come on Alice, you're swimming whether you like it or not!" He then proceeded to scoop me up into a tight ball in his arms. My drink fell from my hands and onto the beach, spilling all over the sand.
I screamed and kicked as he walked to the water. "Ashton put me down! I don't want to swim!" He merrily chuckled and began to walk into the water. When the water splashed waist high he dropped me in.
As I submerged the salty water washed into my mouth. When I stood I shook like a wet dog, my hair whipping Ashton in the face. He yelled while trying to run away in the water. I laughed and chased after him. With each step I took I splashed his back.
Finally he turned around and we began a full on war. I couldn't see through all the water splashing me so I closed my eyes and smashed water wherever Ashton was splashing.
By the time we both stopped out of exhaustion I was completely drenched with the salted water. I panted loudly, my body was hunched over where my face was just inches above the water. When I stood Ashton slowly walked near me.
His hands lazily wrapped around my waist. He held me tightly against his bare torso. Our soaking bodies seemed to morph into one. We stood for sometime in the wading water.
"Thank you." I said plainly when he pulled away.
"For what?" Ashton asked, a cheeky smile spread across his face. If he had jeans on he would've been stuffing his hands into the pockets.
I shrugged, "Everything." My cheeks turned red as I realized how cheesy it sounded.
Ashton only smiled and began to walk back to the beach. Our beach chairs were still unoccupied, thankfully. I fell into mine, Ashton sat next to me.
From our beach chairs we could see that Michael and Calum had been buggy boarding. Mckenzie and Luke sat in the water where it's level would come just over their chests. By the way Luke would watch Mckenzie when she talked I could tell he was very fond of her. And when they walked back up to the beach I saw that he was also a big fan of the red bikini she wore.
"We gotta go!" Ashton exclaimed abruptly, a bit in a frenzy. He stood and began to collect our things. "CALUM! MICHAEL!" He yelled to the boys. They began to slowly swim back to the shore. "HURRY UP!" Ashton screamed.
Though I was unsure why we were hurrying I collected my things anyway. "What's wrong Ashton?" I asked.
"I just got a text from our manager!" He said as if it explained everything. My confused face made him elaborate on his thoughts, "He told me to be ready in an hour to meet the boys we're touring with."
"You're touring with another band?" I asked surprised that he hadn't told me.
Ashton's face fell. "Not exactly." He hesitated before saying, "This isn't our tour. We're just the opening act, it's One Direction's."
"ONE DIRECTION!" I screamed. People at the beach shot annoyed looks towards me. I didn't care though, because I was going on tour with One Direction!!!
