Latch (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

18. "You Have Pretty Hair"

Olivia's POV

Harry came walking back with my guitar slung over his bare shoulder. He smiled when he spotted me and I smiled back. God I love this. His eyes popped when he saw I'd taken my jumper off, leaving me in a white vest top.

"Well, hello there." He smiled and dropped the guitar on the sand.

"Careful with my baby!" I scolded and slapped his leg. He sat down beside me with a chuckle and a plop.

"I thought I was your baby?" He pouted, throwing his head on my lap and pulling childish faces.

"I don't know what you are." I smiled, stroking his chocolate curls and twirling them around my fingers. His hand reached up, at first I didn't know what he was doing then he took a curl of my own hair and begain twisting the blonde lock around his own hands.

"You have pretty hair." He giggled.

"So do you." I returned the compliment with a laugh, he looked up at me from his position on my lap.

"Guys don't have pretty hair!" He groaned, letting my hair go and just looking at me. "You're supposed to say you have sexy hair or cool hair, jeez Liv." He held back a laugh.

"Harry Styles..." I placed my hand on his chest and he sucked in a breath. "You have very pretty hair." I burst out laughing and he also closed his eyes in laughter, dimples showing and mouth turned up to make the most adorable sight.

"Go on, say that again." He stood up and tried to be scary but failed miserably.

"I must say Harry, you're very intimidating with your dimples, squinted eyes and pretty hair." I tapped my fingers against my legs waiting for his reactions.

He scooped me up into his arms and legged it for the water. I just accepted that he had lifted me, he seems enjoy it a lot. He stopped when he was waist deep in water, I held on tight to his neck as he flashed his green eyes at me. I felt his arms twisting around me further, his arms only supporting me under my back.

"Wanna get wet?" His perverted outbursts never ceased to surprise me and I hit his chest playfully. "Just kidding." He smiled a fear calming smile and we just looked into each others eyes for a bit.

"You know, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He smiled making me blush.

I rolled my eyes. "Hold your nose." He winked at me before launching me into the air.

I felt the cool water trap me in it's salted embrace and wrap me in a cold warmth. When I surfaced, I couldn't see Harry. Then I saw his wet head emerge from the crystal water with a swish and a million droplets of water falling from his hair.

I swam over to him as he was a few feet away from me. "You ass!" I giggled, pushing my hair back from my face and trying to pull up my vest top in such a way that my bra wasn't on full display.

"Just take it off." Harry said, referring to my white top. His eyes seemed to look darker, much darker but I put that down to the sunlight. It was after all a very bright day.

"Harry no." I began to complain, I have a very small amount of clothing on as it is, I don't need to be stripped down any further, especially in front of him.

"Liv it's okay, it'll look like a bikini." He smiled, tilting his head back into the water and floating on his back. I took this as an advantage and pulled my top off, my white laced bra being the only thing left to cover me.

I tucked my strappy vest into the large pocked of my denim shorts and flicked my hair out. I hadn't noticed that he'd surfaced until I felt a leh tangle around my own. He pulled me the half meter over to him and I was caught in his arms.
