*A/N: Just thought I'd let you guys know that this is going to be a short update.. I'm visiting family, and felt like writing, but I have to go to bed soon:P
Hope this chapter isn't too bad!*
----
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
& That's what makes you beautiful!
I looked into Harry's gorgeous eyes as he sung the last chorus in the song. My hands were intertwined with his.
Everybody was in the boys' van, and we were all headed to the beach. We decided it'd be best to spend a little time outside with the girls today because they were both heading home today.
We were in the van, just visiting with Paeton and Rose, when What Makes You Beautiful began to play on the radio.
Harry insisted that he sing it to me, but I didn't complain. Having a guy tell me I'm beautiful through song isn't all that bad.
----
I heard laughter coming from the shore, and I could tell it was Paeton by her loud, yet extremely adorable laugh.
I delicately slid out of the van, while Harry stood in front of me, holding my crutches.
"You really don't need to wait for me.. Just go have fun with everyone." I assured him, as I flashed him a bright smile.
"It wouldn't be fun if you weren't over there, so I might as well wait for you." He smiled back, handing me my crutches.
I situated them under my arms, and stood up, so I was directly in front of Harry.
Balancing myself on my crutches, I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist, and I felt his arms slither around my shoulders. He removed one of his arms from my back, and tilted my chin up towards him. I felt his other arm leave my shoulder, as he gently placed his large, soft hands on my cheeks.
We gazed into each others eyes, as we slowly started to lean in towards each other, his hands still delicately placed on my cheeks. Our eyes simultaneously closed as we broke the space between us. His soft, warm lips rested on mine, as they slowly began to mold together. I kept balance as I slowly moved my hands from around his waist, until they found their way around Harry's neck.
"AWWWW!" Paeton yelled, clearly talking about us.
We slowly broke away, as I bit my lip, and glanced at Harry once more before I turned to the audience that had gather around us. Everyone giggled, as they turned and ran back towards the water.
"Way to ruin the moment." I laughed, as a bit of blush made their way up my cheeks.
I unwraveled my hands from around his neck, and placed them back on my crutches.
"Don't bite your lip like that. It's one of my greatest weaknesses." Harry whispered in my ear, and I couldn't help but shed a small smile.
Harry and I walked towards the blankets the Rose had set out. There were 4 medium sized blankets, and we walked towards the one that was unoccupied with personal belongings of the others.
He kept his hand on the small of my back as we walked, and that was a feeling I could get used to.
It's strange. I went from feeling unloved, unwanted, and a waste of space. But Harry makes me feel different. I feel like he actually wants to be around me, is actually happy with my company, and most of all I feel loved. For once in my life, I actually feel loved.
We reached the blanket, and I threw my crutches down in the sand. I remained standing on my feet as I lifted my tanktop off of my body, and threw it down as well. I quickly reached for the towel, and wrapped it around my exposed body.
"What's with the towel?" Harry asked. "I thought you wanted to tan.."
"I did." I paused, thinking back to this morning. "Until Paeton walked in a handed me a bikini."
I hadn't gotten a swimsuit for this summer yet, just because I hadn't gotten around to it. Paeton and Rose decided to make a quick trip to the mall, to grab all three of us swimsuits, despite the fact that I hadn't brought one when I left dad's house. Paeton and Rose didn't know they were going to be staying with us this long, so they didn't bring theirs, and didn't feel like driving all the way home to get them. So they just bought another one.
Paeton had bought herself a gorgeous sky blue bikini, with a really pretty flower design on the top, and black bikini bottoms with a blue flower design. Rose had choosen a simple purple and white striped bikini with a flower in the middle of her top, and purple and white bikini bottoms. Meanwhile, they thought it'd be a good idea to get me a bright yellow bikini, with black sequins outlining the top, with plain bright yellow bottoms.
"Lacey Mae." Harry groaned.
I just simply smiled, as I slowly sat down on the blanket.
"Go have fun." I persisted.
"No, not until you take that dumb towel off, and come in the water with me." He replied, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I can't get my cast wet." I replied, making up any excuse not to take my towel off.
He pulled out a garbage bag out of his pocket. "I got that under control."
He bent down, and stuck my casted leg into the bag. I noticed him glance at my wrist. "Lemme see that." He demanded. I took the hair tie that was placed on my wrist, and handed it to him. He tied the bag up, so no water could leak into my cast.
"There, now lets go." He insisted.
"That's okay, just go have some Larry time." I joked.
We both looked to Louis. He was off on the shore, making sandcastles with Niall.
"No, it's fine. I want some time with you." He bascially pleaded.
"Gooooo withoutttttt meeeeee." I whined.
Before he responded, he ran off towards Paeton and Liam who were splashing each other. I didn't really want him to leave, even though I told him to. I saw him talking about something, then they all looked at me. Then, before any more thoughts entered my mind, Liam, Paeton, and Harry ran towards me.
"I'm sorry Lace." Liam replied, as he held my arms above my head.
"But it's gotta happen." Paeton added, as she unwrapped the towel from my body.
"And it won't be as fun without you." Harry concluded, as he picked me up bridal style.
Before I could have time to protest, Harry was running towards the water, Paeton and Liam not far behind. I placed my hands on my exposed stomach, and fixated my eyes on Harry's. I gave him puppy dog eyes, and jutted my bottom lip out. "I hate you. I feel so exposed. I don't want you to see this." I pouted.
He stopped dead in his tracks. "I don't know what you're so concerned about, Lacey." he said, while he still held me in his arms. "You're perfect to me, no matter what." He leaned down, and pecked my forehead.
"I don't know how you find these perfect." I whined, pointing my extremely curvy hips.
"I don't know how you don't." He replied, starting to walk towards the water again.
I embraced the fact that I was this close to Harry, so I just leaned my head against his chest and listened to his slow, but steady heartbeat.
Instead of throwing me in the water, like at the time when it was just him and I, he slowly set me down, right where the water hit the shore. I stood on my right foot, as I used Harry to balance with.
"Now, lets have some fun." He smiled down at me, as he wrapped his arm under my arm to help me balance.
Harry's hot breath brushed against neck as he whispered in my ear. "By the way, that swimsuit makes your boobs look fantastic."
I had to keep myself from bursting out laughing. "Ha, ha. Very funny. But thanks, you flirt."
Paeton walked up from behind Harry, and playfully punched his arm. "Don't you be talking about her boobs. Those are mine."
That earned a laugh from all of us.
----
Harry's arms were wrapped securely around my chest from behind. We were standing out in the ocean, in water about to Harry's waist, so practically up to my chest. We were watching a 3-way chicken fight. Paeton was on Liam's shoulders, Rose was on Zayn's, and Niall was on Louis'.
"So, when do you get that cast off?" Harry asked, out of the blue.
"Hmm. Well, the nurse said I'd be able to get it off in about 4 1/2 weeks. But that was a couple days ago." I concluded. "So 4 weeks."
"That's good." He stated, as I felt his soft lips land among my hair.
I leaned my head back, so I could see his beautiful face. He tilted his head so he was looking down into my eyes.
"I love you." He smiled, that gorgeous smile of his, as the mint from his gum wafted from his breath.
"I love you too." I replied, adding a small smile.
I really loved Harry; so much.
