Two weeks of silence, we haven't spoke since that night, it was hard for me not to watch him when he would stride across the altar, curls moving with each step he implanted onto the carpet, even harder not to laugh when he would make a corny joke, even though i did lose one thing, i learned another, how to save myself from situations, since harry wasn't there to stop my father i had to deal with it myself.

" you stay in that damn room all day, luna, you have to get out and breathe some fresh air " elloise adds, not helping the situation that i'm in, it's two against one, and by now i'm sure i won't win this time.

playing with the hem of my skirt i finally decide to speak, " it's not like i'm doing nothing, i read, that's pretty productive if you ask me " i shrug my shoulders, turning to my dad, begging him with my eyes to let me stay.

my father sighs, looking at elloise's dull expression and then my sad one, " you're going to the beach with harry tomorrow and that's final, when was the last time that you've left your room ?"

" i don't know, but pa i don't wanna go, please don't make me go, i'll do anything, please " i sit on the floor, scooching closer to my dad and grabbing his calf as i beg for him to let me stay, yes it's quite childish, but i don't know what i'm going to do in the car with harry for three hours, then at the beach.

i bet he's gonna stay in a hotel too, ugh, i should just kill myself and make it look like an accident, " you're seventeen, luna, act like it " elloise scoffs, gesturing to the fact that i'm clinging onto my father's leg like a monkey.

" you guys don't even let me act my age, so i'm good, thanks babe " i blow her a kiss sarcastically as she turns to my dad with her mouth ajar, " you're just mad that my dad loves me more than he'll ever love you, be salty " with that i let go of my dad's leg and run out of their room, running across the hall as fast as i can.

it was quick, and painful, i bumped into something hard and, wet?, with my hand on my head in pain i look up to see harry, drops of water cascading down his bare chest and the only thing that separates his naked body from my eyes is a blue towel that hangs low on his hips, with the help of his hand i get back up to my feet.

" y'good, love?, hit my chest pretty hard there" the chuckle he lets out is forced, nodding my head as my reply, the sight of his wet body is distracting to say the least, why the hell won't he just move out of my way?

" i have some real bad news " i sigh, trying my hardest to look into his eyes instead of at his body, " i'm stuck going to the beach with you tomorrow, so wake me up whenever you wake up, okay?"

he laughs, " that's not bad news, marie, in fact that's great news, see you bright and early tomorrow " with that he leaves, and i don't even look back, walking straight into my room closing my door behind me, then proceeding to throw myself on my bed, screaming into my pillow.

-

yelling is what i hear, and some loud music, peeling my eyes open to see harry screaming as he dances around my room to some random vinyl that plays from my record player, " shut it off, i'm up" i yell over the music.

harry puts his hand behind his ear, " you're what?" he asks, even though i know he heard me, the look i send him makes him turn off the record player, his hands are on his hips with his hair wrapped up into a towel, he must've just got out the shower, he sorta looks like a mom.

" you have about," he looks at his watch, " fifteen minutes, princess, so i suggest you get up and start to get dressed, yeah?"

i nod my head, getting off my bed and standing right in front of him as i gesture for him to leave, i've already talked too much, i don't want to make him believe that we're suddenly back on good terms because i'm stuck going to the beach with him, " leave, what are you gonna do, watch me get dressed ?" the bitterness is laced in my tone, and i can tell he noticed.

" sounds tempting, luna, real tempting, but maybe next time " this time he winks, and i pretend to gag even though it was the most hottest thing i've possibly ever seen, i throw myself on my bed after he closes the door behind him, why must he be so sexy?

with my hair tucked behind a headband, a white bikini with jean shorts covering my waist, i grab my bag that holds extra clothes and my phone charger with toiletries and possibly almost every book i own, sliding on a pair of black sandals, i head towards the front door, locking it behind me.

when i hop into the passenger seat harry lowers the music, turning to me and coughing awkwardly, " just wanted to let you know that zayn is coming " he states, and i immediately tell him no.

" what do you mean no?, i call the shots, remember, i'm the authority " he points to himself as he grins, making me want to hit my head against the window until i bleed to death, i take it back, that sounds gruesome.

" if zayn comes, hazel is coming too, end of discussion thank you for attending my ted talk mr. styles" with that said i grab his sunglasses from the cup holder and slide them on, a loud gasp spills from his lips, he's so extra.

grinning i pull out my book, or more specifically paper towns by john green, when harry realizes what i'm reading he laughs as we stop at a red light, " remember when the librarian caught us in that position and thought we were trying to have sex " he giggles, and i swoon at how he beams with joy based solely off of that one memory.

sliding his sunglasses down the bridge of my nose i look at him as he laughs, clutching onto his knee as he steps on the pedal, " oh, god, i'm sorry, that's just hilarious " he wipes the tears that were threatening to spill from his eyes, and it's now that i realize i honestly don't know how much longer i can stay being mad at him.

it grows silent, and i can see the way his demeanor changes, contentment soon turning into sadness, my book is open in my lap it no longer holds my attention, because harry does, his side profile is gorgeous, even though his nose is pretty big it fits his face perfectly, his jawline is sharp and defined, he pairs black swimming trunks with a loose white T-shirt.

" i miss you, luna, so much "

without thinking i reply, " i miss you too, harry " we send each other a look, both of us sending each other apathetic smiles, " how about we make a deal, styles?" he turns to me with worry, noticing the mischievous glint in my tone.

he hums in approval, keeping his eyes on the road, " i just so happened to bring my makeup, if you let me do your makeup and then we take a picture so that i can show hazel, i'll forgive you " maybe harry and i can just be friends, nothing more, perhaps this could work.

" you've got yourself a deal, adams "

to say that i was tanned would be an understatement, i was burned and multiple shades darker, me being the stubborn person that i am refused to put on suntan lotion because i don't like the way it feels on my skin, yet harry applied pounds of sunblock, as we entered the hotel room he was more than content.

" there's only one bed, luna, looks like you're sleeping on the floor " he sticks his tongue out at me, throwing himself on the bed as he snuggles into the pillows, it was by far the cutest thing i've ever seen.

jumping on the bed myself i blush at the way he wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer into him, he's warm and he smells like vanilla, " you smell really good " i comment, he lifts his head from the pillow as he turns to me, sending me a toothy grin.

" thank tom ford, keep this between us, but i used your aunts ten percent discount at sephora and got it for only two hundred dollars " he whispers the last part as if there's someone here that can hear us.

he sits up excitedly and i already know whatever is about to come out of his mouth will be stupid, " joanne who?, more like harry the scammer " he flips his hair as he looks down at me to see my reaction, " even if you won't admit it, that was pretty damn funny " he releases a loud snort which makes me giggle.

i feel his warm hand on my thigh which makes me stop laughing, " harry what are you doing? " i inquire, feeling that particular feeling in between my legs as his hand slides up my exposed thigh.

" i don't know, but it feels right " his voice is barely above a whisper and within seconds he's hovering over me, lips parted as he stares down at me, pupils dilated as we make eye contact.

placing my hands on his chest to keep him a reasonable amount of inches away, " harry please don't do this again, if you start something you're gonna have to finish it this time " i breathlessly state, feeling his hand finally make it under my coral dress that hiked up because of my position on the soft mattress.

" i'm gonna finish it this time "
