Serendipity by the Sea

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Sarah was in the kitchen putting meatballs into the slow cooker when the doorbell rang.  Harry kissed her on the side of her face and went to the front door.  Suddenly, loud chanting came from the foyer where Harry was greeting his friends for a day of football and food.

Harry had started the Sunday Football tradition last year and he loved having a house full of people. He always looked forward to spending time with his friends on the weekend.

“Is she here?”  Niall asked, as he put down his 30 rack of beer.

“In the kitchen.” Harry pointed over his shoulder and smiled at all his friends.

Niall broke away from the group of people at the door and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. As he turned the corner, he noticed Sarah bent over putting something in the oven. When she stood up, she was startled by Niall’s presence.

“You must be Sarah. It’s great to meet you,” Niall started to introduce himself with his arm extended to shake Sarah’s hand, “I’m Niall.”

“Hi. It’s so nice to meet you.” Sarah smiled and shook Niall’s hand. “Is every one here?” 

“Yeah, they’re putting all their stuff down. So, you and Harry, huh?” Niall said as he started to place his beer in the fridge.

Sarah smiled and emptied a bag of chips into a bowl on the kitchen counter. The hallway started to become alive with people and then, the crowd entered to where Sarah and Niall were speaking.

“Sarah, this is,” Harry went down the line of people to introduce them to her. He knew she wouldn’t remember every one’s name but wanted to be polite to his guests. “Every one, this is Sarah.”

A few of the guys walked over to shake her hand, while the three girls that were within the group just politely smiled.

“We’ve heard a lot about you.”  Liam said, as he sat down at the kitchen counter.

“Oh really?” Sarah smiled and glanced over at Harry.

“Yeah, this one won’t shut up about you.” Louis joked and threw his arm around Harry’s neck in a playful choke.

“Alright. Alright. Let’s not make this bash Harry day.” Harry said as he walked over to Sarah, putting his arms around her body and holding her tight.

The crowd started to unload their beer and food into the kitchen, as Sarah watched Harry being so gracious to people for bringing so much food.  Soon, it was time for the game to start and the crowd of people went into the living room to sit down.  Harry and Sarah stayed behind to sneak a few kisses, before joining every one for the game.

“All of your friends are really nice.”  Sarah said, as Harry sucked on her neck.

“Half time. You and me. Upstairs.”  Harry smirked at Sarah, as he rested his forehead against hers.

Harry was somewhat turned on by Sarah meeting all of his friends.  This was a completely new experience for him and he had never introduced any girl to the band before.  It was new and exciting and he kept thinking back to their time in the shower this morning. He felt his pants getting tighter, as he remembered the droplets of water flowing down her breasts.  He couldn’t get the thought out of his head, as he stole kisses from her lips and drew his name with his tongue along her neck.

Even the sight of her in his t-shirt and his gym shorts made Harry turned on, as he leaned her against the kitchen counter and put his lips to hers. “Can you be quiet?”  Harry asked with a grin.

Sarah opened her mouth for his tongue and immediately, his hands went to the waistband of the shorts she was wearing. His hands ducked inside and rubbed her bare ass, squeezing and pulling her body towards his. “No underwear?  What are you doing to me?”  Harry exhaled as she placed her hands under his football jersey.

“Hey Harry, where do you keep the…” Niall asked, as he entered the kitchen and saw Sarah and Harry in each other’s arms.  “Sorry. Nevermind.”  He left the room, shaking his head and laughing.

The two separated, breathing shallow and starring at each other.  Sarah picked up a bowl of chips and a beer, while Harry kept his eyes on her.  “Keep your hands to yourself, Mr. Styles.”  Sarah whispered in his ear, as she grazed her body with his and walked into the living room.
