Between The Lines

Chapter 25

“God..” I laughed, changing through the stations, even though I love that song, I’d rather no more ‘sudden’ outbursts. 

The whole way there, the boys in the back kept complaining and asking ‘Are we there yet?’ even though it was almost a 2 hour drive. What Makes You Beautiful and One Thing played at least 25 times each.

By the time we finally arrived, it took almost 5 hours since the boys had to constantly stop to go pee on the side of the road. It was truly annoying. Louis had complained in the last 20 minutes that he was tired, so all the boys except Niall, who was enjoying a bag of crisps we bought at a gas station, pretended to be asleep so they didn't have to drive. 

Niall stepped into the front to drive, and put in his mixtape of Justin Bieber and Micheal Buble.

Brianna and Julia called to say they would be late. Great. 

Niall asked if we could go down to the beach since it was close by. We all agreed and said we would meet in about an hour in the main hall.

I took a quick shower before wrapping myself in a towel and letting my hair fall down my back. Harry paid for lots of renovations, so the cottage was much bigger now, so we each had our own rooms. I took off my towel, walking into my boiling hot room, walking to the window and opening it, smelling the fresh breeze.

“AH!” I heard someone scream from behind me. I turned to see Niall standing in the door way covering his eyes. How long had he even been standing there?

“Oh my GOD!” I screamed tripping onto the floor and crawling into the washroom, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!?”

“We have been waiting 15 minutes for you outside!”

The hours already up? Well..I did shave my legs, and wash my hair multiple times cause the shampoo smelt so darn good. Strawberry-just cant go wrong with it. 

“How much of my..Body did you see?” I asked awkwardly. He laughed nervously looking at the ground as I walked back in the room with my towel

“Enough to know you have an amazing body. Not that I couldn't tell with your clothing on- but.”

“Okay. Thank you.” I stopped him, “Be out in a few.” I closed him outside and quickly got dressed in a blue bikini and a white see-through over shirt that went to my knees. 

“Ready.” I said as I walked to the boys. Niall smiled at me and winked, Louis gave him a glance then walked to me and put his arm around my waist. 

“Shall we?” He asked. 

“We shall.” I said, moving out of his grip and flipping my shades on. I dont want this to be just about Niall liking me and Louis thinking im his property. We broke up, and that was it. If I wanted to date Louis, I could. But if I wanted to date Niall, its like World War lll. 

As we walked outside, Brianna and Julia pulled up in a jeep. 

“HERE!” Julia shouted, smiling brightly and running over to hug me and the boys. Harry walked outside last as Julia jut hugged Liam. She looked at him and both their smiles dropped from their faces. I thought they were suddenly going to just combust into flames from how hard they were staring at each other. Julia quickly dropped her bag, and so did Harry, and their arms wrapped around each other lovingly, and they kissed. It reminded me of the kiss from The Notebook..In a certain way.

Brianna stepped out of the car next, coming over to greet everyone. 

“Are we taking the Jeep?” She asked as we were about to ascend on foot to the beach about 10 minutes down the road.
