Harry practically growls at her answer, letting out a huff.

"I told you before, I want to be the only one who makes you wet," he whispers to her through gritted teeth. "Especially in that tiny swimsuit."

"It was an accident, H," Niall shouts over, pleading his case when he sees Harry glaring at him.

Harry hits the throttle and Amy holds on quickly as Harry aims his jet ski right at Niall's. A look of panic crosses his face as he tries to start his engine quickly, having turned it off to check on Amy in the water. He's not quick enough though, and Harry does a quick turn before he gets to him, soaking him in a wave of ocean water.

"Fuck!" Niall yells. "I hate you!"

Harry chuckles before placing his hand on Amy's thigh, squeezing tightly making Amy sit up taller. She hates that the life jackets don't allow them to be skin to skin. Her hands glide down to his crotch and she hears Harry clear his throat.

"Careful, love. We never know who has a telephoto lens pointed at us."

"Then take me back to where no one can see us," she whispers in his ear.

Harry makes sure Niall gets his engine started before gesturing to him with his thumb that they were headed back. Niall gives them a thumbs up in reply and the three of them race back together to the boat. A crew member helps Amy back onto the deck, and she removes her life jacket. She sees the outdoor shower and walks over to rinse off the salt water. Harry gets onto the deck after Amy and notices the two male crew members ogling Amy as she rinses off. Harry clears his throat making them both look towards him and he shakes his head at them both, causing them to divert their eyes to the ground. He grabs a towel and approaches her and when she's finished he wraps it firmly around her shoulders. He's not sure if this green-eyed monster will ever settle in him when it comes to her. He tries to direct it at anyone but her now, but he knows that's not much better. He is going to have to learn to set boundaries for his jealousy, and know when it's appropriate to demonstrate it and when it's not.

"I've never seen you wear a ball-cap before," she says reaching to touch it. "Very frat boy. I like it."

He smirks at her before taking off the hat and placing it on her head. She adjusts it as he steps into the stream of water to rinse off. She can't help but watch the water cascade down his chest to his stomach and the trail of hairs leading to his shorts. Before she realizes how much she is staring at his lower region, she feels the hat being pulled over her eyes.

"Keep it PG you two! You never know who's watching from afar," Niall warns, teasing Amy about catching her staring.

Amy blushes and tugs the hat low to cover her embarrassment. She hands Harry a towel and they make their way inside.

"H!" Ben's voice echos through the hallway as he rushes up to them excitedly. "She confirmed. She's in!"

"Really?!" Harry answers back with a big smile, while Amy stares at the two of them trying to decipher the meaning of their words.

Harry realizes and then turns to Amy to speak.

"I went to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's play Fleabag back in September in London. I met her after the show and we spoke about collabing. And then I was talking to Ben in LA about doing a music video for Treat People with Kindness, and wouldn't it be cool if we did an old Fred Astaire style dance to it. Anyways, I asked Phoebe and she had to check her schedule but I guess it worked out!"
