i sat at the breakfast bar in the cottage we were staying in. i was the first up and it was peaceful.
i had my legs crossed over with a robe over me because i hate sleeping wearing clothes. i took a sip of my coffee as i scrolled through instagram on my phone.
i heard a bedroom door close i looked up and saw harry rubbing his eyes. "morning." i laughed softly.
he groaned and made his way to the coffee machine. "god i'm so tired." his voice croaked.
"didnt you sleep well last night?" i got up to put my cup in the sink.
"no, not really." he leaned his body against the counter behind him.
"well maybe," i turned around and faced harry "tonight you could use a little help." i placed my hand on his chest that was peaking from his robe.
"0h really?" harry raised his eyebrows and smirked. "how could you do that?"
"well that's something you're just going to have to wait and found out later tonight." i teased.
harry put his hand on my cheek and leaned down to kiss me before someone walked in. we both snapped the other direction and i washed my cup.
"how are you guys up so early?" connor moaned.
"you're up early as well." i laughed while drying my hands.
"that's only because olivias alarm wouldn't stop. like why even set an alarm if you're not going to wake up to it." he complained.
"it's our first full day in this cute little cottage. let's just have good vibes." harry sat down with his coffee.
"what are you two doing up so early together." connor raised his eyebrows.
"oh- i- we-." i stuttered.
"ariah was in here first, i got up about 5 minutes ago." harry helped me explain.
"okay." connor nodded his head softly.
—
we were all going to a karaoke bar that bella found online. it looked like a really cool place.
i wore a tight baby blue body con dress with a simple diamond necklace.
i ran my hands down my dress and made my way out of the room. "you're finally ready." connor groaned "it's just harry and emily now. can someone tell them to hurry up?"
"i'll go." i started walking and my heels made a noise.
i went to go knock on the door and emily went storming out not even looking at me. the door was left open and i just saw harry sitting at the end of the bed looking stressed out.
"what happened?" i walked into the bedroom and closed the door.
"she's so." he rolled his eyes and hit the post on his bed out of frustration.
"relax," i walked over to harry "what happened?" i sat down next to him.
"don't tell me to fucking relax." harry snapped at me.
"i was going to try and help you calm down." i got up "fuck you."
i walked out of the room. i was upset but i couldn't show it. "i'm not coming tonight." emily told me.
"no come." i furrowed my eyebrows.
"we've already tried to convince her. it's not working." olivia said.
"but it's going to be so much fun." i nudged her shoulder.
"i'm not in the mood." she pouted.
"i'm here. let's go." harry had his wallet in his hand.
we all got into the uber and there was so much tension in the car. harry was obviously pissed off and i was trying to show that i wasn't. "are you okay? do other people's moods affect you that much?" beth whispered in my ear.
i forced a laugh "im fine. what makes you think there's something wrong?"
"you just looked pissed off." she laughed.
"i'm fine." i playfully rolled my eyes.
we got to the bar and got to our table. "i notice people look a bit mad. but let's just have some fun." olivia said.
"drinks are all on me." harry threw his wallet on the table.
"we can't make you do that." i looked up at him.
"they're on me." he raised his hands.
we called the first round of shots. i took a shot and the alcohol burnt my throat. i shook my head.
after that one shot i took a few more and i was tipsy. "let's do karaoke." i pushed connors shoulder softly and got up.
i walked through the crowd and made my way to the booth "what song would you like beautiful girl?" the man asked me.
"ummm... surprise me." i giggled.
the group and i stood on the stage waiting for the song to start playing. a few seconds after standing on the stage and realising what we were doing "toxic" started playing.
"i love this song!" beth and bella squealed.
there were three mics that were getting passed us. because i was really tipsy i wasn't really thinking about what i was doing.
i sing every lyric and danced around on the stage. i gave the mic to connor and went behind everyone on the stage where harry was standing.
i started body rolling and dancing on him while we all sung. i turned around and locked them and danced with him. his stern face finally broke with a smile. we both danced around like fools until the song finished.
"that was amazing!" the guy at the booth shouted down the mic "now that's how you do karaoke." he clapped "can i just say," he looked around "the stars of the show was this amazing couple." the light shone on harry and i "i watched you two dancing the whole time. it was amazing."
"theyre not a couple-." connor smiled awkwardly.
"my bad. the way she was dancing on him didnt make it seem that way."
we got off the stage "did you forget harry's got a girlfriend?" olivia said in my ear as everyone walked in front of us.
"what are you on about?"
"everyone saw the way you two were dancing. you'll be lucky if emily doesn't find out, or if it's not on video somewhere." hearing olivia say that it made me really anxious.
"it's nothing." i rolled my eyes.
