Sorry for updating lately. School was getting kind of hectic but now I'm on Winter Break so it's all good :D
Chapter 6 Part One:
Harry's POV
When we pulled up to Tai's house, I could hear Spanish music blaring from the speakers from the backyard and I could hear the talking and laughter of a lot of people.
These are the type of parties that happened every weekend at her house, which she warned me about.
Tai pulled out her phone and called her mom, as I grabbed my suitcase from the trunk.
"Mom, open the front door please... Ok, thanks."
Her mom opened the door with a smile on her face.
Tai said something in Spanish and kissed her mom.
"Hi Harry. Nice to finally meet you," she greeted warmly.
She took her hand out and I shook it.
"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Rodriguez," I spoke, politely.
She giggled and smiled.
"Please, call me Maria. Mrs. Rodriguez is my mother-in-law."
Tai led me all the way to her room.
It's something I'd picture her to have. It has blue walls in different shades and the room is very bright.
"Sorry about the mess," she said.
"What mess? This is spotless compared to me and Louis's flat," I admitted with a chuckle.
She smiled.
"So let's go outside so you can meet my gigantic family. Plus, there's food and a pool."
I grabbed her hand as she led me outside.
Her backyard is really nice. There's a nice pool area and it has a gazebo and a poolside bar.
I met her family and they were all super nice. Some of her relatives I could barely understand because they don't know English very well, but they were all nice.
They would crack jokes about Tai and she would just get embarrassed and laugh.
Overall, they were very cool and nice to me.
Tai and I got changed into our swimsuits.
"We'll go in together at the count of three. One, Two-"
I pushed her in and she screamed. When she rose from the water, she was giving me a death glare.
"Harold Edward Styles, you're going to pay for that!" she yelled, getting out of the water and chasing me around the pool area.
She pushed me in and I dragged her in with me by her arm.
When we rose from the water, we were both laughing uncontrollably.
Liam's POV
Alex's mom opened the door and smiled.
Alex greeted her mom and walked in first.
"Let me help you with that," her mom said.
She picked up my suitcase and brought it upstairs to Alex's room.
I liked her room. It was simple and clean, kind of like my room.
Alex jumped on her bed and layed down. I layed down beside her, putting my arm around her. I pulled her closer to me and she rested her head on the crook of my neck.
"I have a feeling these next seven days are gonna be the best," she cheered enthusiastically.
"Me too," I said with a smile.
I ran my fingers through her hair like I usually do. She loves it when I do that.
Alex's little sister Valerie came running through the door. She's so adorable.
"What do you want, Val?" asked Alex, clearly annoyed.
"Hi Val," I said.
"Hi," she said in her adorable voice.
I picked her up and started tickling her.
She was giggling uncontrollably and I could feel Alex looking at me, while I played with her sister.
I love kids, so playing with Val was no problem for me.
My phone rang and it was a call from Harry.
"Hey Harry."
"Hey Liam. You and Alex should come over. Tai's family are having a big cookout. There's plenty of food and a huge pool."
"Definitely, we'll be there. I'll tell Alex and we'll be over soon."
Alex's POV
When Liam and I arrived at Tai's house, the party was in full swing.
Music was blaring and I could hear the laughter and screaming of kids in the pool.
We walked to the backyard and Tai and Harry greeted us warmly.
Tai started introducing Liam and I to her family and they're all super cool.
Liam and I went inside and got changed into our swimsuits.
We came outside to see Harry and Tai being all lovey dovey.
I made gagging noises and they turned around and faced Liam and I.
Tai looked bright red and her and Harry splashed water at me.
Liam and I jumped in and I let the cool water wash all over my body.
Liam came from behind and wrapped his arms around my stomach, pulling me closer to him.
"You look amazing in that bikini, babe," he whispered as he pressed his lips onto the back of my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
"You don't look too bad yourself," I replied and turned around, tracing his abs with my fingers.
He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
I giggled and screamed, "LIAM PUT ME DOWN!"
"Now why would I do that? This is a lot more fun," he smirked.
He motioned Harry and Harry did the same thing that Liam did to me but to Tai.
She was now over Harry's shoulder.
"Chicken Fight!" yelled Harry.
Tai and I just looked at each other and giggled.
We both positioned ourselves and got ready to play.
"One, Two, Three – GO!" The boys yelled.
Tai and I kept pushing each other, hoping that one of us would fall.
I gave Tai a really big push and she slipped and fell to the side.
I giggled and Liam cheered as he brought me down.
"That's my girl!" he yelled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
He gave me a quick peck on the lips and he kept his lips pressed on mine, almost teasing.
"You're such a tease," I giggled and hit him on the arm playfully.
All four of us got out of the pool and grabbed some food.
"If Niall was here, all the food would be gone," Harry teased as he took a bite from his burger.
"Remind me to never let my parents have a cookout when Niall's around," Tai said jokingly.
We ate and talked for a while. It was a lot of fun and I got to spend time with my amazing boyfriend, Liam. It sounds and feels weird to call him my boyfriend, but I'll get used to it. I'm glad that he's all mine for a week and it kind of makes up for the three weeks we've been apart.
We spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool and talking and eating with Tai's family.
Tai's POV
The sun was starting to go down and I thought it would be really cool if Liam, Harry, Alex and I went to the park down the street and watched the sunset.
"Babe, do you wanna watch the sunset with me at the park down the street?" I asked.
"Sure," he answered with a smile.
He got up and asked Alex and Liam if they wanted to come. They said yes and all four of us made our way down the street to the park with two blankets.
I spread out one of the blanket and Alex spread out another one a couple feet away from where Harry and I were.
Harry layed down and patted the area next to him.
I layed down beside him and he wrapped his arm around my neck tightly and pushed me closer to him. I rested my head on the crook of his neck and inhaled his amazing scent.
I could hear him humming a tune, but it was really faint. After a few seconds, the tune became clear to listen to and it was Stole My Heart
(I waited for a girl like you)
The light shines
It's getting hot on my shoulder
I don't mind,
This time it doesn't matter
Cause your friends,
They look good, you look better
Don't you know all night I've been waiting for a girl like you to come around, round, round?
Under the lights tonight
You turned around, and you stole my heart
With just one look, when I saw your face
I fell in love
It took a minute girl to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
I waited for a girl like you
I'm weaker
My worlds fall and they hit the ground
Oh life, come on head, don't you fail me now?
I start to say,
"I think I love you", but I make no sound
You know cause all my life, I've been waiting for a girl like you to come around
Under the lights tonight
You turned around, and you stole my heart
With just one look, when I saw your face
I fell in love
It took a minute girl to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
I waited for a girl like you
There is no other place that I would rather be
Than right here with you tonight
As we lay on the ground I put my arms around you
And we can stay here tonight
Cause there's so much that I wanna say, I wanna say
Under the lights tonight
You turned around, and you stole my heart
With just one look, when I saw your face
I fell in love
It took a minute girl to steal my heart tonight
Under the lights tonight
You turned around, and you stole my heart
With just one look, when I saw your face
I fell in love
It took a minute girl to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
I waited for a girl like you
I waited for a girl like you
I smiled as he sang the song and a few tears were slowly rolling down my cheeks. A sob came out of my mouth and I covered my mouth quickly, hoping he didn't hear it.
He looked at me and his face was full of worry and confusion.
"What's wrong love?" he asked as he wiped the tears from my cheeks.
"N-nothing. I-I'm just happy that I h-have you," I stammered with a smile.
His expression changed from worry to joy and he smiled.
"Well I'm happy that I have you too, beautiful. Now don't cry, angel. You're too beautiful to cry," he cooed into my ear as he slowly rubbed my back soothingly.
"Why are you so perfect?" I asked as I rolled on top of him.
He ran a hand through my hair and sighed.
"I'm not perfect, hun. You're the perfect one," he confessed with a smile.
He pulled my head closer to his and kissed me tenderly. I melted into the kiss and smiled against his lips.
"The sky looks so beautiful right now," I stated in wonder as I watched the sky with fascination.
He chuckled and smiled.
"It's a lot more beautiful when I'm watching it with you."
He rolled on top of me and kissed me again passionately, but also still sweetly. I kissed back with the same amount of passion. He slid his tongue along my bottom lip and I let him in. Our tongues danced as I kept my hands firm around his neck and he kept his firm on my waist. Kissing in the sunset was absolutely more amazing than just watching it.
Liam's POV
I layed down and Alex layed beside me. I wrapped my arms around her and pushed her towards me.
I remember this setting so perfectly. It was a day like this when I told Daniel I loved her two years ago. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
*Flashback*
I layed down on the picnic blanket and wrapped my arm around Danielle's shoulder.
"Thank you so much for this, Li. This is exactly what I needed; an escape from everything," she confessed with a smile.
I stared at her and I couldn't help but smile. Ever since I laid eyes on her, I thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.
Everything about her was perfect and I found myself falling for her every day. I've been waiting for the right time to tell her that I loved her, but each time I tried, the time wasn't right.
Then I realized that this was the perfect moment to do so.
"You're welcome, Dani. Babe, there's something that I've been dying to tell you, but I never found the perfect time to do so," I said nervously.
She looked up at me curiously.
"What is it, Li?" she asked and put a hand on my cheek.
"Danielle, I-I-I love you," I spat out nervously.
She smiled and put her other hand on my cheek.
"I love you too, Liam," she said.
She kissed me gently and I felt the same sparks that flew through my body during our first kiss.
*end of flashback*
(This song is called Kids in Love by Mayday Parade)
I look back to the one and only summer time
And my girl was the envy of every friend of mine
She slept safely in my arms
We were so young and invincible
Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the summer never went so well
Young love is such dumb love
Call it what you want it was still enough
And still out of my reach
And still all of the things
That I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
Our breath smelled of cigarettes and alcohol
We'd walk down the beach counting every star
Our hearts beat inside our chest
Leaving us gasping for every breath
Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair
Was so contagious in the air
So satisfying and I'm still smiling
And still out of my reach
And still all of the things
That I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
We're at an all time low, how do we get it back?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces now?
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us...
We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
Tears slowly rolled down my cheeks at the thought of that day. If I'm over her, then why do I think about her so much and why does it hurt o much when I do? Am I really over her?
