*Ari's Pov*


"Ari wake up. I have something to show you." Harry whispers excitedly. I open my eyes amd stretch my arms.

"What?" I ask, still tired and wanting to go back to sleep. He smiles at me and goesn to the corner of the room. Hr grabs a big wooden box, and brings it over to me. I sit up in bed.

"Here." He hands me the box with a smile that goes from ear to ear. I giggle at his excitement to show me this.

The box is big and has a leather handle at the top. It also has some clasps, which look like they hold different compartments closed.

I unclasp the first two clasps andbit pulls out like a drawer. Inside is 20 different colors of oil paints, 3different paint brushes and a few canvases.

"Harry, this is amazing." I say softly. It really is. I can't believe he would get me something like this, especially after how rude I was.

"Do you like it?" He asks nervously.

I nod my head. "I love it." I close the drawer and open the next one. It is filled with acrylic paints, brushes, and more canvases. The last drawer has water colors.

I reach across the box and hug him. He wraps his arms around me and whispers in my ear, "I remember the first day we met you told me you used to paint."

Tears start to form in my eyes. I can't believe that he still remembers that. It's so sweet of him. I don't understand him. Sometimes I hate him, but others I feel like I could stay in his arms forever.

Right then Zayn walks into the room. "We're going swimming in the hotel's pool. You can come if you want." He says quickly, then leaves the room.

Harry looks at me. "Do you want to go?" He asks.

I nod my head. "Yeah, that will be fun."

When we get down there, everyone else is already in the pool. "Hey! You guys came!" Louis exclaims when he sees us.

Harry smiles, "Why wouldn't we?" He asks Louis.

"Well, I don't know." He laughs, which makes everyone laugh.

Harry steps back a few feet, then runs forward and cannonballs into the pool. The water splashes and gets me all wet. He comes back up and smiles teasingly at me. I stick my tongue out at him. Then I jump in right next to him.

"Let's play chicken!" Niall shouts. Everyone screams in agreement.

Louis gets on Zayn's shoulders, Niall gets on Liam's and Harry lifts me up and puts me on his.

"Ready, set, GO!" Louis screams.

Him and Zayn come rushing towards Harry and I. Harry lets go of my left foot and splashes Zayn with water.

"That's cheating!" Louis screams and then grabs onto my arm. I pull it away and shove him back. He loses his balance but doesn't fall off Zayn's back.

Niall and Liam come running towards us and Niall shoves Louis from behind. Louis shrieks and flips over Zayn's head into the pool.

"Yes!" Niall cheers at beating Louis and Zayn.

While he's cheering I grab his wrist and pull hI'm hard towards me. He pulls back harder, almost pulling me off Harry. I keep my balance though, and pull on him again. He pulls back, so it's like we're playing tugawar.

After a few moments of us both pulling as hard as we can I let go of his wrists, and he goes flying backwards off Liam's shoulders.

"Yes! We win!" I shout, looking down at Harry. He's looking back up at me smiling.

"That's only because you cheated and splashed water at me!" Zayn makes an excuse.

"Whatever! You're just a sore loser!" I say, and stick my tongue out at him.

Then someone grabs me around the waste from behind. They pull me backwards hard off Harry's shoulders.

"Aahh!" I scream before falling into the water.

When I kick my way back to the surface Everyone is laughing. I make a pouty face and cross my arms.

"I got you!" Niall says, barely audible because he is laughing so hard.

"I still won." I try to keep a serious face, but it doesn't work and I end up laughing with the rest of them.
