Maid For Mr. Harry Styles

Chapter 8 // Good Time But Nothing More

Liz’s POV

The beach was now an hour away as Harry kept driving not even giving me a clue as to where we were going. I watched as shops passed by in the next town over till finally he pulled into a parking lot in front of a building that read ‘Bounce of Laughs’. “That’s ah some kind of name,” I said starring up at it not sure what to make of it. 

“Stupid name I know but it’s a fun place I promise.” Harry climbed out of the car rushing to my side to open the door for me. We went inside finding out it was an arcade. The floor was black with neon shaped boomerang designs, the black lights made everything bright coloured or white stand out. The only real lighting I could see was over the indoor race track for go carts. 

“Not that bad,” I admitted shaking my head in agreement. 

“What should we do first?” Harry’s niceness was a nice change but sometimes it felt exhausting. In all the years I lived with them we were never nice, we never hung out. This just wasn’t who we were, and if he hadn’t promised to help me see Sam I would have told him to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. So for now I’ll be nice until he screws this whole thing up he always does. “Lizzie B?” 

“Thought I told you to stop calling me that?” I took a side glance at him and Harry just gave me a crooked smile. “Fine, go carts,” I nodded towards the cars and track. We headed that way I took a blue one and Harry climbed in a green. There were only four colours to choose from green, blue, red, and pink all neon. The worker unhooked us and we started off. I whipped around turns giggling when I bumped Harry or he bumped into me. He crashed going around a turn giving me the lead as we neared the finish end. I came in first jumping out of the cart and doing a happy dance sticking my tongue out at Harry as he now just passed the finish line. 

“Round two?” 

“Maybe later, what’s that?” I pointed to a door that said enter leading off to a different room. 

“Laser tag,” Harry nodded smiling. “I’m a champ at that game though I must warn you.” I started laughing. I could see why it has the name laugh in the title now. 

“Oh just like the go carts?” I put my hands on my hips leaning forward a bit raising an eyebrow. 

“Now, now, now,” he laughed. “I never said I was a champ at go carts, just laser tag.” 

“We’ll see about that,” I raced off to the entrance. The same worker let us in handing us our gear and telling us the rules. We listened for the most part before going and starting the defeat that would knock King laser tag off his high horse. 

The room was dark lit up by black lights fog scattered over the floor, big obstacles to climb over, under, and hiding filled the room. The countdown by a recording of a robot woman started from five. Harry had entered in a different door so I had no clue where he was. When the woman said ‘go’ I started walking fog mixing around my feet. It was like a herd of zombies were waiting around each corner but there was only one zombie, Harry. I heard someone shoot from behind me quickly spinning to find Harry; I shot once hitting the circle in his chest before scattering. I hid behind a pillar closing my eyes breathing hard, this game was exhilarating. I heard one shot to find Harry standing before me. 

“Any last words?” he said in his low gravely British accent. 

“Just one,” I quickly rose my gun shooting him the chest. Harry’s light went out signaling that he had lost. “Loser,” I said starting to laugh. “King of laser tag more like queen of laser tag,” I smiled up at him in the dark as we walked back to the doors. 

“Best two out of three?” Harry asked. 

“Why not, no crying when I beat you though.” Harry and I ended up playing two more rounds. Harry had won the second gaining back his title. He was hiding on top of an obstacle as I walked under he made a sound from behind me and I turned and he shot me twice in the chest. The last round I won sneaking up on Harry jumping on his back reaching my hand over his shoulder shooting him in the chest. We came out laughing as I was gloating about winning and claiming the title Queen of laser tag. 

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, how about an obstacles course?” he asked pointing upwards. I looked up to see a net spreading as there was an obstacle course in the air. 

“You’re on!” I said letting him lead the way to a ladder. The same worker we came to know as Jeff gave us helmets and gloves making it a bit easier to hold. He went over the rules, no pushing or shoving blah, blah, blah. We started off at a pretty good speed. I almost fell halfway through quickly catching myself giving Harry a lead. By the time we finished he won. 

“Again?” he asked thinking I wanted to put myself through that again. 

“No thanks that’s enough for me. I’ll just go play some of the arcade games it you don’t mind.” 

“Wait! Here’s twenty for the coins just go up to the service desk.” I nodded going to the desk getting my cup full of coins. I went to different games playing deal or no deal, memory games, shooting games, guitar hero, skeet ball, fruit ninja, and a few others. I was rocking out on guitar hero when Harry came up to me. “Ready for dinner?” he put his hand in the mid of my back and I moved away from it; tingles left where he touched that I shrugged off. 

“Sure,” I smiled not showing teeth, hopefully reminding him that we were just friends. Not even really friend’s just acquaintances. 

“Good because I have something special planned.” We went to the car huddling in and going to whatever restaurant I assumed Harry had picked out.
