By the time Jade and Harry reached the campsite, it was 30 minutes past 5 and the rain had already stopped and the sky had cleared up. Louis was complaining that it took them so long but with a glare from Harry, he kept his mouth closed.

Leigh-Anne, on the other hand, hurried to grab a towel for Jade, who was already shivering from the cold. Niall, Louis and Liam took the firewood from Harry and started to make a campfire, while Jesy and Perrie went through the ingredients they had received and started deciding on the menu.

"You can clean up first," Harry offered.

"Okay," Jade was about to walk to the toilet when Leigh-Anne called out to her.

"Babe, can I shower with you?" Leigh-Anne pouted, "I'm scared to shower alone."

Jade tugged on Leigh-Anne's arms to stop her from talking. However, her member did not get the memo.

"I mean, it won't be the first time we shower together anyway!" Harry chocked when he heard it. His mouth gaped open while his eyes darted between Jade and Leigh-Anne, before closing them to get the image out of his head.

"Shut up, Leigh-Anne," Jade mumbled to the older girl, "Let's go."

The two girls showered as fast as the could, as neither was willing to spend a long time in the toilet.

"What are we having for dinner?" Jade asked, wearing a hoodie with black shorts.

"There are some pre-packed salads here, we can have barbeque some chicken," Perrie showed Jade and Leigh-Anne the salad while Jesy fumbled around the with the chicken.

"Marshmallow!" Jade screeched when she saw the packet of heaven, her eyes brightened and everyone could not help but coo over her adorable actions.

"I want smores!"

"Yeah, I'll take over the chicken," Leigh-Anne said and took away the chicken from Jesy.

"Seems like the fire is up," Jade sniffed as the smell of smoke enters her nose. Perrie sniffed but stopped when the girls look at her weirdly.

"What? I was hoping I could smell something," Jade scoffed and made her way to where the boys are.

Jade stood frozen when she saw someone standing around the fire, joking around with his members. His curly hair is still wet, indicating he had just come out of the toilet. That wasn't what captured her attention though. Her eyes are focused on his bare abdomen, showing off the abs he had worked hard to get, and how his black Nike dry-fit shorts hang loosely around his waist.

"Careful there," Perrie's voice brought Jade back to reality, as the younger girl shot a wink to the older one.

Seeing that the campfire was up, Leigh-Anne started to cook the meat as the boys tried their best to help out too. Jade started making smores, which elicited scolding from Jesy, as 'she had not had her dinner yet' and dessert should never come before dinner.

Should have told me that years ago, Jade thought in her mind.

The sudden silence surrounding us was an indication that Jade had accidentally said it out loud, as a blush crept to her cheeks while Perrie and Leigh-Anne started snickering, Jesy looking at her with bewilderment.

"Jade! You dirty cow!" Liam threw a small twig at Jade as Louis burst out into laughter. Niall's cheeks were red, thinking of things he shouldn't be thinking of, causing Harry to smack Niall's head.
