Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 22

"Kids!" Dan exclaims.
"We are not kids anymore Dan," Malia says, rolling her eyes.
"Well, hormonal teenagers!" he exclaims, making us laugh. "Do you want to help me fishing?"
"Oh yeah," Tanya says. "I love fishing!"
"Help me getting the fishing rods... who's the one of the curly hair, again?" Dan says, laughing.
"Harry," Zayn says. I stand up, smiling and follow Dan. He seems a nice guy. Friendly, funny, and great sailor and fisher.
"This ones?" I ask, pointing to several fishing rods laying in the floor.
"Yes, please," he says, drinking from his soda. "Have you fished?"
"Ah... a couple of times," I say, carrying the rods. "Though I don't have very good experiences doing it."
"If you knew how many bad days I've had," he says, laughing and patting my back.

I go back to the deck and put the rods in the floor. Tanya, Carter and Ethan quickly grab theirs and prepare them. Keanna then comes besides me and looks at all of them.

"Do you know which to pick?" she asks.
"No, picking fishing rods is not one of my daily decisions," I say, making her laugh. I look at them again and a blue one catches my eye.

And I think it catches Keanna's eye to as she grabs it at the same time as me. Our hands almost touch each other. I can see her smiling widely.

But then she frowns and sighs.

"Keep it," she says quickly. "I am going to the restroom."
"But you can have it," I say.
"It's okay," she says and goes away.
"What did you said to her?" Liam whispers behind me.
"Nothing," I whisper back.
"Is she bipolar or she is hiding something?" he asks.
"I don't know," I say, frowning. I leave the fishing rod in the floor and sit back in my chair.

✩ ✩ ✩

"The storm will start!" Dan exclaims. "I'm going back to the bay!"
"What!" Louis exclaims. "I just started fishing!"
"Sorry," Dan replies, laughing.

Dan turns the ship and we go back to the bay slowly. Everyone leaves their fishing rod and sit down, laughing.

"How awful," Madison says. "I just caught a small fish."
"I didn't even catch a thing," Niall says, making us laugh.

Keanna sits now beside Josie, and they are whispering. Keanna looks at me and immediately looks away as our eyes crash together. She nods at something and stands up. She sits besides me again.

"Hey," she says.
"Hey," I say, sighing with smirk. I can't be angry at her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," she says, smiling. "Sorry for my mood change."
"If you say you are okay, It doesn't matter," I reply, making her to smile.

✩ ✩ ✩

By the time we get to the bay, it's already starting to rain. We get off the boat and wait to Dan to tie it to the ground. When he finishes, he sighs and looks at us.

"You need to go," he says. "The rain is going to be hard."
"Again?" Zayn asks, groaning.
"Yeah," he says. "It was nice to see you kids."
"Bye!" we exclaim.

The rain starts to hit us. We run to the van and get in the same order as before. When I close the door, everyone relaxes and tries to dry.

"What if we go to Moonstruck Pattisserie?" Josie asks.
"Yes! I love going there!" Malia exclaims.
"I love the chocolate croissants," Keanna says, licking her lips.
"Cakes?" Niall asks. "Sounds good."
"Let's go then!" Ethan exclaims. He starts the car and we get going. "Want to play a game while we get there?"
"Yes," Louis says, nodding.
"Which?" Anna asks.
"Rhyme time!" Tanya says.
"I always lose in that game," Malia says, groaning,
"Because you don't pay attention to your classes..." Carter starts.
"I do, and I get very good grades," Malia replies, crossing her arms.
"If 6 is a good grade for you," Keanna says, laughing.
"Shut up," Malia says, rolling her eyes.
"How do you play Rhyme Time?" Louis asks.
"Somebody says a word and then, with turns, we should say a word that rhymes with it," Madison says.
"You got 5 seconds to think of a rhyme," Ethan says. "If you don't say one, you are out of the game and we start all over again."
"Okay, who starts?" I ask.
"Me, then from Ethan to Josie," Tanya says. "Mmm... cookie."
"Tricky," Ethan says.
"Lucky," Keanna says.
"Mickey."
"Sticky."
"Spooky."
"Uh..." Zayn thinks, laughing. "I dunno."
"Zayn's out," Ethan says, laughing.
"Now... cake!" Tanya exclaims.
"Snake."
"Break."
"Ache."
"Make."
"Bake."
"Mmm... damn it!" Anna says, laughing.
"Sorry babe, you are out," Ethan says.
"Uh... pizza," Tanya says.
"Are you hungry Tanya?" Keanna asks, laughing.
"Yes, why?" she asks, making us laugh.

✩ ✩ ✩

The sign in the top of the small building says 'Moonstruck Pattisserie'. It has a drawings of a moon and some hearts. We enter through a blue door with crystal in the top, letting us see what's inside.

Desserts can be seen in a large pastry display case. Many of them look appetizing and delicious. Some are chocolate cakes, other have berries, other have other things.

"Hello, what would you like to buy?" the cashier asks.
"A chocolate croissant..." Ethan starts.
"Two," Tanya says.
"Three," Keanna says.
"Who wants a chocolate croissant?" Ethan asks. Everyone but Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall and me raise their hands.
"Seven of them please and... five iced blueberry rock buns," he finishes. Then he looks at us and smiles. "They taste delicious, too."

✩ ✩ ✩

We end up taking a box with more iced blueberry rock buns. I look up at the van's window; it's all wet and blurred by the rain. Though, I can hear that it's stopping. The sky is becoming darker and the moon can be seen under the thin clouds, like if they were made of silk. Everyone passes the phones Keanna was keeping. When I get mine, I try to unlock it, but as I had many notifications, it was off, without any battery.

Ethan drives the van until we get to the hotel. He parks it and sighs.

"Well, we will walk now," he says, shrugging, "the storm has already stopped."
"I need to feed Rihanna," Keanna says, worried.
"Rihanna?" I ask, frowning.
"She's my cat," she says, laughing.
"We have four cats in our house, actually," Malia says.
"They are Rihanna, Tomato, Zipper and Blueprint," Keanna says.
"Who gave them those names?" I ask. "They are amazing!"
"I named Tomato," Malia says, laughing.
"Good name," Niall says, nodding.
"I named the other three," Keanna says. "But all of them are so lovely!"

I laugh. Everyone gets off the van and wave, getting away.

"Keanna!" I exclaim. She turns around and smiles. She walks again back to me and my heart races.
"Josie!" Niall calls out a few meters away from me, smiling.
"Hey, tomorrow can I see you here?" I ask, turning to see Keanna.
"It's the date we were talking of?" she asks, raising her eyebrow.
"A double date," I say. Then she looks at Josie and Niall.
"Did you told him?" she gasps.
"No," I say. She turns to see me and laughs.
"Gosh, that's amazing," she whispers. She stares at my eyes and smiles widely. I smile, too, showing my dimples. "See you here, at..."
"4:00 pm," I say.
"Okay," she says. Then, she turns nervous and smirks. She stands in her tiptoes and leaves a small kiss in my cheek. "Thanks for today."

Instead of saying something back, I stay frozen, petrified, like if Harry Potter laid a spell on me. But I can smile back, and blush.

"You look cute when you blush," she says.

✩ ✩ ✩

I place the white box I was carrying in the kitchen counter and sigh, sitting down in the couch of the hotel room. Zayn closes the door and throws the hotel card in the counter, too.

"I'm going to sleep," Louis says, going to the bedroom. I can hear how he lets himself fall in the bed.
"I'm hungry," Niall says, groaning.
"Didn't you eat something back at the shop?" I ask, laughing.
"Yeah, but I am hungry," he replies opening the box with the buns.
"And you know when Niall wants something, he gets it," Liam says, taking off his leather jacket.
"I want a Lamborghini," he says with his mouth full.
"Lamborghinis are mine!" Louis shouts.
"No! Niall Protested," Niall says, laughing.
"Hey, those are my quotes!" Louis shouts, coming to the room.
"Really? Show me the Copyright!" Niall exclaims.
"Simple, but effective," Zayn says.
"Hey, hey, that's mine!" I warn Zayn.
"No, she's mine," Niall says, furrowing his eyebrows and smirking at Louis.
"That's it!"
