Red String 2 {h.s}

Chapter 15

"Why do you think I've practically been in hiding for years? Those bastards never let up."

Niall comes bounding up like a golden retriever at that moment.

"Who wants to go on the jet skis?" He asks, with a big expectant smile on his face. "Amy? My new bestie."

"Okay, okay! Let me get my swimsuit on."

She kisses Harry on the cheek and leaves him to chat, and with a little help finds their room with their luggage. She changes quickly and then goes to the outer deck to find Niall. He's standing on the swim platform at the back of the boat putting a life jacket on. Amy can see one jet ski in the water.

"The crew is having trouble with the electric lift for the second jet ski. We can wait or share?"

"Let's just share. I've never been on one before," Amy answers.

"You are going to love it! Here, put this on," and he helps her into a life jacket.

"Keep her safe!" Harry's voice shouts from the deck above them.

"Don't worry, Hazza!"

A crew member hands Niall the key and he climbs onto the jet ski with Amy following close behind. She listens as he starts the engine and then he turns to look at her.

"You better hold on, darling," he says with a smirk before hitting the throttle, causing Amy to quickly grab onto his waist.

Niall rips around the large bay that their boat is anchored in, doing quick turns and figure eights. They have been zipping around for probably twenty minutes when they start to head back towards the boat. Amy can see a very familiar tattooed body standing in his swim shorts on the lower deck. He has a backwards ball-cap on to contain his curls. He looks like he is going to get on the other jet ski and Amy's heart races hoping she'll get to go for a ride with him. Niall sees Harry and watches him putting on a life jacket.

"Hazza!" he shouts, making Harry look up. "You want your girl back?"

Before Harry can answer Niall does a quick turn, spraying water at Harry, getting him completely soaked.

"Come and get her!" Niall yells, before hitting the gas again and taking off.

Amy doesn't have to look back to know that Harry is getting on the other jet ski to chase after them. She hears when the engine starts and Harry accelerates towards them.

"Oh, I think I hit a nerve!" Niall says to Amy, sneaking a peek back at Harry.

"You have a death wish," Amy tells him, as she looks back too.

Harry's edging closer to them and Niall tries to make a quick turn to lose him but ends up tossing Amy off and into the water. She is grateful for the warm water as she comes to the surface, looking for the jet ski to climb back onto. A hand comes reaching out towards her and when she sees all the tattoos she knows it's not Niall. She takes Harry's hand and he pulls her from the water with ease and onto the back.

"You okay?" Harry asks, concern lacing his voice.

"I'm totally fine. Just a bit wet," she responds, wiping the water off her face.
