         Chapter 11

We all went to pack for the beach. Zayn and I went to our room, finding a bag to have our things in. I found a pair of swimwear and a towel from the bathroom.
    "Why did Cassie scream earlier?" Zayn asked as he put his swimwear and towel into the bag as well. I could feel my cheek get hot and turned my back at him as I answered. "Oh, she just got … surprised," I said trying to hide my face.
    "Why? She'd already heard you knock?"
    "She didn't expect to see me," I really tried to sound normal. But somehow I didn't succeed.
    "Okay …"
We went out to the living-room. The sun was already shinning bright. Louis and Liam were in the garden playing football (or what some would call soccer).
    "Hey, play me, I'm free," I said as I ran out to them followed by Zayn.
    "Okay, Harry you're with Louis and Zayn's with me," Liam said playing Zayn the ball. We played for a while it the ball ended up being stocked between the house and some bushes. I went to get it. I walked towards it when I heard Cassie and Jenny talk on the other side of the open window. I wondering whether to stop and listen or quickly get the ball and run, but then I heard my name and it was too tempting not to eavesdrop. I knew it was wrong but hearing them mention me made me want to know what they were saying.
    "-Louis told me. Harry had carried you from the terrace to you bedroom last night in his arms. You very sleeping so tight he didn't want to wake you up," Jenny said. I bent down to get the ball out from the bushes.
    "Really? I don't remember that at all … Then he must have been the one helping me out of my clothes … Well, that embarrassing. This morning, when he went to tell me breakfast was ready, he walked in to see me standing in nothing but a towel! God, what else did I make him do last night," Cassie sad hiding her face in her hands by embarrassing. Now the conversation inside was getting embarrassing for me as well, maybe I should walk back to the boys again.
    "Should I change to a bikini now or later?" Cassie asked taking up a new topic.
    "Well I'm already in mine," Jenny said looking down herself.
    "Okay, I'll just change here then, the boys outside anyway."
    "Oh my – I gotta get out of here," I thought to myself as I began walking out of the bushes. I put the ball on the ground just outside the bushes making it look like I just got there.
    "Um, Cassie-" Jenny said and I turn my head to look at Cassie, stripping off. I quickly turned by face the other way, blushing.
    "-maybe you should pull the curtains before … you know – get naked," Jenny continued in a nervous tone.
    Cassie turned around just in time to see me standing there with the ball at my feet, looking at her for a fraction of a second before I turned away and she pulled the curtains. Fuck! I was busted! I had been – fuck it! Why, Harry? You're such a--. I hit the ball and the others continued playing for a while till Jenny and Cassie finally got out. I felt more embarrassed than ever, knowing that she'd seen me.
    We all got into Jenny and Cassie's cars. Louis, Zayn and Jenny in one and the rest of us were to drive with Cassie. Actually, right now I'd rather drive with Jenny but I couldn't say that, it would sound wrong - somehow. Besides I'd survive ... right?  
    The lads and I got into the car, sitting on the same seats as yesterday. Cassie turned the key, starting following Jenny behind.
   "How long is there to the beach?" I asked still a bit embarrassed of myself.
   "About 15 minutes or so," Cassie replied looking at me in the back mirror. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses so I couldn't read her face right.
   The last bit of the drive I sat in silence, looking out the window, listening to the others talk.
   "Here you go," Cassie said as she pulled up, parking the car. She got out and we followed her. We got our bags from the locker and walked down to the beach. Jenny and the others were already there: They were lying in the hot sand.
   "About time," Louis said as he saw us.
   "The last out in the water is a banana!" Niall screamed as he put his bag down in the sand as he started running, getting out of his t-shirt, towards the sea. Jenny and Louis followed him at once, leaving Liam, Zayn, Cassie and me behind. I looked at Liam, our eyes met, and I knew he was thinking the same. We both grabbed Cassie at the same time: Liam took her legs and I took her under her arms. We ran as she screamed and laughed: "Let me go, put me down!" When we were out in the water – leaving Zayn on the beach – covered to our belly buttons, we dropped her in. She screamed and complained as she got up again.
   "Ew, now I'm all wet! You're going to pay for this, mark my words boys, I'll get my revenge," she said with fire in her eyes and a smirk all over her face. She went up from the water and walked towards over beach towel, starting to strip off. I turned my head in the other direction looking out on the sea, turning my body as well. Then I felt water splashing against my neck and I toured around in shock to see Cassie standing there in front of me in her little, light blue bikini.
   "Told you, I'd get my revenge," she said, smirking before she sat off from the ground and pushed me backwards with her on top, making us fall down in the water. I took an arm around her waist and turned us around so I was the one laying on top of her and not the other way around.
   "What are you going to do now, huh?" I asked with a smirk, holding her body under water so she only had from her neck up over it.
   "Harry, let me go," she laughed loudly.
   "Why?" I replied, still holding her tight.
   "Harry-" she was still laughing, trying in vain to get out of my grip. I started tickling her, making her laugh even louder.
   "Harry, stop it, I'll kiss you if you don't stop," she said still laughing. I smiled at her kindergarten-comment.
   "I- mean it," Cassie said again looking into my eyes. I didn't take her seriously. I just kept tickling her. Then she did it. She stretched her throat and her lips crashed into mine. I don't know why, but I got really surprised, shocked. I didn't think that she would actually do it. I kissed her back pulling her closer into me, holding her tight. Her half naked body felt warm against mine.
   Without a single warning I felt two pair of hands grabbing me; one pair under my arms and another pair around my legs, asking my fall. I 'flew' in the air only hold up by the four hands.
   "Louis!" Cassie screamed and ran in the water towards him jumping up on his back, trying to make him let go of me.
   "Oh, are you begging to be thrown in too?" he asked letting go of me with one hand to get Cassie down from his back. "Niall, Jenny come help us," Louis screamed as he got Cassie down from his back. They ran towards us getting Cassie thrown in and then me. We played and fooled around for a while before we all got up to get dry. Jenny, Cassie and Liam were laying on the beach towel sun bathing. Louis, Niall, Zayn and I played beach volley. After playing for while we decided to take a break. On my way from the beach volley pitch I heard someone call my name: A familiar voice. I turned around to face an old friend; Clair.
   "Clair? Oh my god, what are you doing here?" I asked, looking surprised as I opened my arms and pulled her into a tight hug. She smiled at me. She had gotten even more beautiful over the past six months. It had been such a long time since I'd seen her.
   "I actually live here, remember?" she laughed as we let go of each other. "What about you, what are you doing here? I thought you guys were on tour?"
   "We were, but we came home yesterday."
   "Why didn't you tell me, I would have picked you up or something," she said giving a gentle slap on my arm.
   "I didn't know I was supposed to, besides we already had a drive. We're staying at one of Liam's friends, Cassie," I said pointing over at the others, pointing on Cassie. Wow, Clair had change a lot over such short time.
   "Oh, okay," she said looking down to the ground a bit sad.
   "Hey, you should meet them, the boys, come on, I'll introduce you," I said as I took her hand in mine pulling her with me towards the others.
   "Hi guys! Look who I've just got the pleasure to meet again," I said as we reached them. They all looked up and the boys smiled at Clair.
   "Um – hi. I'm Clair," she said shyly and shook hands with the others, even Jenny and Cassie. I noticed Cassie's face changed as she saw Clair but I didn't know if it was because she was sad, hurt or whatever.
   Clair stayed with us for the rest of the time we spend on the beach. Cassie was kind of in a hurry to get home, so Clair and I decided to exchange numbers so we could catch up later, maybe over some coffee or tea.
   "Well it was nice seeing you again, Clair. Take care, I'll call you sometime," I said as we packed our things and went towards the car, me being the last one to arrive.


*Cassie's POV*
Liam, Niall and I went to my car as Harry talked with Clair, catching up. I opened the locker and they threw their bags in. I looked over at Harry and Clair standing in the sand, smiling and talking. I couldn't help but feeling a bit jealous.
   "Liam?" I asked still looking down at Harry. "Who is that girl?"
   "Oh, that's one of his oldest friends, Clair Raymond. He has talked about her a lot. They seemed to be good friends, close friends," Liam said looking at me, seeing the way I'd reacted on it. "Are you okay, Cas-sie?" he asked worried.
   "Yea, I'm fine," I said faking a smile.
   "Cassie, come on, I know you better than that. I know when you're fine and when you're not. You can tell me, you know you can."
   "I don't wanna talk about it, I just – right now I wanna get home and take a shower," I said with a sigh. "Maybe I'll tell you then."
   "You're jealous, aren't you," he then asked looking at me. My eyes however were stocked at Harry, locked on him.
   I wouldn't admit it with words. If he heard, it would be too embarrassing. I chose to nod instead.
   "Why?" Liam asked holding a hand on my back.
   "I- I don't know, I just ... He seems so happy to see her, the way he smiles at her and-" I could feel tears on the way. This was mad! There was nothing to cry about, he was just walking to an old friend not cheating on me - I was not even his girlfriend "and whose fault it that?" I thought to myself.
   Liam pulled me into a tight hug. I swung my arms around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder. I sighed, trying to get the tears to stay inside. I sniffed and pulled away from the hug. Liam smiled at me and I smiled back. He looked me in the eyes, waving away a tear that had slipped out.
   "Now, go get him and let's get outta here," I said as I took a deep breath already feeling a bit better. Liam smiled and walked down the beach to get Harry. Niall walked towards me, I'd totally forgotten that he was driving with us.
   "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhearing it, I really tried not to eavesdrop but it was kind of impossible," he said sounding really sorry about having overheard it.
   "No, it's fine. I just needed to get it said I guess," I smiled at him. He smiled back.
   "If it can make you feel better, I know that he likes you ... But guess you already know that, since you two have already kissed twice," he smiled as he said it. I looked him in the eyes. He was now rather sweet to be honest. I lent in towards him giving him a quick but tight hug. As we let go of each other Liam turned up with Harry.
   "Great, lets drive," I said sounding happy again and we all jumped in. Harry was rather quiet on our way home, texting like mad. I tried in vain to keep a conversation with him but he only answered with a short theorem. I gave up and started to talk with Niall and Liam.
   After a while of driving we were home again. Jenny and the others had once again won the race. They were all sitting around the kitchen table talking. Louis and Jenny were sitting really close, almost on each other's laps.


*Louis POV*
We, Zayn, Jenny and I, had gotten home before the others. Jenny unlocked the door and we all went in. Zayn went straight to get a shower. Jenny and I sat down by the kitchen table. God, she was beautiful. Her hair, her eyes. Everything about her. Oh, her smile! I would never get tired of it.
    "What?" Jenny asked, noticing me staring at her.
    "Huh?" I shook my head, trying to get her out of it. I blinked a few times as I did.
    "Why are you staring at me?" she asked, looking suspicious.
    "Because you're beautiful," I said smiling at her. Her cheeks got red and she looked down the table, blushing.
    "You're just saying that," she said still a bit red in her cheeks.
    "No, I'm not. You're amazing," I said. God, what was I doing? I had a girlfriend, I wasn't supposed to look like another girl like this, and I sure wasn't to look at another girl like this either! Louis, wake up!
    "Really?" Jenny asked as she looked me in the eyes.
    "Yea," I said still smiling. I lent in towards her, having my face just in front of hers. Her lips were so tempting. I wanted to kiss her, right now right here. I was just about to, my lips within inches from hers. Just then Zayn walked into the kitchen. I realized how close Jenny and I were – unusually close. I pulled my head back just in time. We were still really close but we didn't get the change to pull away before the others walked in, that being Harry, Niall, Liam and Cassie.
    "Yes! We won the race!" I cheered raising my hands up in the air, waving them.
    "Oh shut up," Harry said as he gave me a fist on my shoulder, making my arm drop to my lap.
    "Hey! What was that for?" I asked, trying to sound like I was in great pain. The slap hadn't hurt though, not at all. Harry smiled at me as he passed me, walking towards his and Zayn's room.
    "Well, I'm heading for a shower. Meanwhile you guys can figure out what you want for dinner," Cassie said sounding a bit sad somehow. I tried to read her face but I couldn't. I looked over at Niall; he shrugged, giving me an I-don't-know-man look. I then looked over at Liam. He shook his head in a way that told me: "-not now, later." I guess he didn't wanted to tell me while the others were here, that being Jenny at least.
    "So, what do you guys want for dinner?" Jenny asked looking at Zayn, Niall, Liam and I.
    "Tacos!" Harry screamed from his room, making us all laugh – of course he wanted tacos.
    "What do you think?" Jenny asked looking at us.
    "Oh, let the poor kid," I said smiling as Harry walked into the kitchen.
    "Can we? Oh, please say that we can, please?" he begged, acting childish.
    "Okay, but you've got to help!" Jenny said pointing at him.
    "Of course!" he replied, smiling from ear to ear.
    We all started helping with something. Niall, Harry and Jenny cooked, Liam and I covered the table and Zayn went out to get what we were missing.
    Cassie stepped into the kitchen a little while later. With wet hair, a t-shirt there was too big and a pair of short shorts she began to help with the table.
    "Are you okay?" I asked her, just high enough for her to hear.
    "Yea, I'm fine. Thanks, Louis," she said smiling: This time it wasn't fake though.
