Harry's POV.

She's giggling and I love it. I reach over to switch the radio off but immediately freeze when I feel her hand on my arm.

"No, don't. I like this song." She says smiling so perfect and it feels as if the butterflies in my stomach could rip me open and fly away.

"Said I had a dirty mouth.." she sings along and looks at me with a playful grin.

"But she kissed me like she meant it." I sing along with her and we can't stop smiling at each other while I drive to a restaurant.

"We're here." I say pulling into the driveway. Its not a fancy place. Madison just looks like she won't like it at a fancy restaurant where the waiters dress like they're at a wedding. I hope.

Maddy's POV.

I unbuckle my seatbelt and climb out of the car. Harry looks slightly worried for some reason. As we walk towards the door of the restaurant I feel Harry's hand on my back.

"Table for two?" The young waitress asks.

Harry and I both nod and the woman gestures us to a table. I sit down and Harry sits across from me as the waitress gives us our menus. I'm so happy he didn't take me to a fancy restaurant. I would be happy with pizza at my house.

"In thought?" Harry asks looking at me smiling.

"Yeah I guess." I say looking up from the menu to meet his beautiful green eyes.

"Care to share?" He asks resting his cheek in his hands on the table in a playful manner.

"Well.. I was just thinking I'm glad you didn't take me to an expensive restaurant." I say flushed.

"I thought you would be." He says smiling and he looks relieved.

I smile back just to see his widening.

"I love your smile." He says but closes his eyes in frustration and I notice he didn't mean to say it aloud.

Harry's POV.

"I love your smile." I stupidly say by mistake. When I open my eyes I see her smiling even more and I notice the redness in her cheeks.

"I- uh.. you.. Uhm.." I can't speak. "Do you know what you want to order?" I finally say after clearing my throat.

"I think so." She points to a plate of chicken wings and fries.

"That looks nice." Nice? What about that looks delicious? Nice?

"Yeah." She laughs. I'm awkward.

"What about this table?" I hear Louis' voice.

When I see him I look over at Madison. Her eyes widen when she sees her friend on a date with Louis.

Maddy's POV.

Bianca? On a date? With Louis Tomlinson?

I feel my eyes widen as I see her. She looks gorgeous. Of course overly dressed for this type of place but gorgeous.

"Bianca?" I whisper to Harry and he looks just as surprised as I am.

"Let's get out of here." He says panicked.

I don't argue and we both get up and head for the door.

We reach the car and I climb in buckling my seatbelt.

I look over at him confused. Why did we have to get out so quickly? Is it Bianca? Does he not like my best friend?

"What?" He asks when he sees me looking at him.

"What's wrong? Why did we have to go?" I ask him looking into his beautiful green eyes.

"Its nothing. I just thought we can go somewhere else." He hesitantly answers.

Is he hiding something from me?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

A couple of minutes passed and he stops near the river.

"We're here. Again." He says smiling.

I see him climbing out of the car and over to my side of the car opening the door for me.

I climb out and he walks over to his car's trunk. He pulls out a picnic basket.

"Yeah so this was plan B." He says flushing.

He's adorable. Just adorable.

I smile at him as he lays a blanket over the ground next to the river. He reaches for the basket and pulls out sandwiches and bags of chips along with a bottle of soda.

"You look beautiful." He says while packing the snacks out.

"Thank you." I say so soft I don't think he can even hear me.

He proves me wrong by smiling.

...

The day passes really quickly and we both are completely comfortable around each other at the time the sun sets.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He says wiggling his brows up and down.

"I'm not getting in that water. Forget it!" I say laughing.

"Please? The water's cleaner than it looks." He says reaching for the hems of his shirt. He pulls his shirt over his head exposing his upper body. The Ink over his body gives me shivers and I quickly give in.

I pat myself mentally on the back for packing a short in my handbag. I rush over to a tree and stand behind it to change.

"Hurry up or I'll come and drag you to the water." He yells from the river.

A while later I climb into the water with him. It's not as cold as I expected. I walk towards where Harry is standing and he immediately smiles at me when he sees me.

He's only wearing boxers and he looks incredible.

"Is it that bad?" He asks playfully. I splash water in his face and he laughs before splashing me back.

"You could've just swam in your underwear." He says and I swat at his arm but he grabs my wrist and pull me to his chest. Electricity is shot through my whole body and he looks me in my eyes before placing his lips on mine.
