“Who’s that from?” I ask in curiosity as I pull my shorts on over my still damp bikini bottoms not really caring about how wet they were from swimming earlier.

“Liam again, he says they are all going to head back for the night ‘cause they are tired from being out here all day,” Harry says with a slight laugh.

“Nice, I’m getting tired myself; being here most of the day’s got me beat,” I reply running a hand through my wet blond hair. Harry gets to his feet and holds out his hand. I smile a bit as I reach up to grab hold of his hand. Once I was back on my feet standing upright, I grab my shirt and slip it over my head. Even though I was cold from being in the water, I didn’t mind, I was used to it.

It takes a few minutes but Harry and I gather up everything including the stuffed animal he won me earlier. My bag hung on my shoulder, which felt a bit heavier than normal due to the towels being damp from Harry and I lying on them since we went in the water and swam a bit. Have to admit, spending the day with him was fun. It really was, that included when he won me the stuffed cat, which made me smile.

We make our way over to where Liam had said they were waiting for us. As Harry and I make our way over there, we talk about a bunch of random things from today. I couldn’t help but feel myself smile widely as we talk. After a few more minutes of talking, we make our way to where the group was waiting for us. Harry offered to hold onto the stuffed cat.

“Took you two long enough, let’s get outta here, I’m knackered,” Zayn mumbled. We all agreed with him before we head to where we parked the car.

It takes us a few minutes to find where we parked in the parking lot. Claire unlocks the car so we could all pile in after putting our things in the back. After fastening our seat belts in place, we are soon on the road. I sat next to Harry again who was sitting next to Louis who was focused on his phone.

Speaking of my phone, I pull mine out from my pocket and go to my messages. I decided to send my mom a quick text telling her we were heading back. After I send the text, I drop my phone in my lap. I lean over to rest my head on the window so I could rest my eyes the ride back. The next time I open my eyes, I notice we were pulling in the driveway of our house.

We all pile out of the car and get our things from the back. That is when I notice everyone else was here except for Zayn. “Guys, I think Zayn is still in the car, he’s fast asleep,” I mutter with a slight laugh as I point to the far back seat in the car where Zayn was passed out asleep, his head resting against the window and his mouth open as he snored away. Liam goes over to wake the sleeping boy.

It takes a good five minutes or so for Liam to get his tired self up. All of us, including Zayn, who was walking like a zombie, make our way inside. Niall and Claire tell us they’ll see us in the morning. We all bid each other good night and head toward our respective rooms. Once I made it up the stairs, I head to my room knowing who was right behind me. I turn the light on as I walk into my room, setting my bag on the floor. Picking up the stuffed animal Harry got me, I set it in the chair beside the window.

I go over to my dresser and pull out my pajamas, shorts and a tank top along with a clean pair of underwear so I could change out of my wet swim suit. A hot shower sounded nice, too. It would also make me feel less dirty from being at the beach with sand in unmentionable places.

“Well, I’m uh, going to change,” I say looking over at Harry who was standing near my closet. “And might take a shower,” I say with a small smile as I look at him.

He just gives me a nod and a smile in response. I walk out of my room and go down the hall to the bathroom. Thank God everyone was asleep so I could take my shower in peace because I had a lot going through my mind. One of them being the fact he almost kissed me. We almost kissed until his phone went off ruining the moment. I couldn’t believe it.

I walk into the bathroom and turn the light on before shutting the door behind me. After I made sure it was locked, I set my clothes on the counter. I go over and turn on the water on, not too hot or too cold, right in the middle. I slip out of my jeans and shorts until I was in my bikini tossing the damp pieces of fabric in the dirty clothes hamper along with the wet bikini before I get in to the shower. I knew it was hot enough, just how I liked it, thanks to the fogged up mirror.

I finish up in the shower a good fifteen minutes later. I felt so much better and refreshed. I even smelled good, great actually, of peaches and a hint of strawberry. I grab two towels, one for my hair and the other for my body. After wrapping one around my bare body, I dry my hair with the towel best I can before I decide to comb it out. I toss it in the hamper when I was done combing my hair out. After combing it out, I pull it up in a messy bun atop my head so I could keep it out of my face.

I dry my body before tossing it in the hamper along with the other towel. I put on my polka dotted boy short underwear before putting on my pajamas. After I finish up, I unlock the door and pull it open so I could let the hot air out from taking my shower. I flip the light off before I walk out and make my way back down the hall to my room.

The door to my room was closed, yet again, so I decided to softly knock. I didn’t receive anything in response so I decided to just go on in. I’m sure he was asleep already. As I walk in, I notice the light in my room was off, but my lamp was on which made the room dimmer than normal. Harry was lying on my bed staring at his phone.

“Hey there,” I mutter softly with a small smile. He looks up and smiles a bit. “Hey,” he says. I take a seat on my bed, leaving a bit of space between us, my gaze still on his.

“Thanks again for winning me the stuffed cat, it’s real cute,” I smile as I shift my eyes from his to the stuffed animal cat that was on my chair.

“No problem, love,” he tells me with a smile. “Glad you like it,” he finishes with a smile.

Harry and I spend the next hour or so talking and laughing about random things. We laughed until we passed out tired from the long day. The last thought on my mind before I fell asleep was that I was most definitely falling for him. I knew that for a fact, and it was obvious he was, too.
