23: Braces?

Ellie's P.O.V

If anyone knows me, whatsoever, they know that I'm always in a good mood when I eat. No joke. So when Harry got me my absolute favorite breakfast, I couldn't be mad at him anymore. Heck, he could have shared it with me and I would still be happy.

"What time is it?" I shoot up, remembering that I had something planned for today. "Um... 10:06?" Harry checked his phone. "Fucking shit." I mumble. "Whoa. Did I just hear a bad word come out of Ellie Payne's mouth?" Harry tries to act surprised at my sudden outburst. "Yeah, wanna hear another one? Shut the hell up, Harry." I answer myself. "Look, I need you to drive me somewhere." I change subjects. "Sure. Where?" He says, snatching up his keys and slipping on a pair of shoes. I get up to change but remember that I woke up in the middle of the night last night and put on a pair of Harry's sweat pants and one of his shirts. And if I did change, it would be into my dress. And that isn't going to happen.

I slip on my shoes and follow Harry out the door.

As I drive down the road he doesn't even ask any questions and when I pull into a parking lot for a little brick building.

"Where are we?" Harry finally asks. "Gee Harold. You might think that after all the time you spend looking at me, you would be able to tell." I joke, opening the door and walking into the building.

"Is this the... Orthodontist?" He whispers, almost like he can't tell anyone I have braces. Yeah. So what? Niall has braces. What's the difference?

"Yeah." I whisper, mocking him. "You have braces?" Harry stares at me in amazement.

"Harry, I swear if you keep looking at me like I'm some kind of unicorn..." I threaten. "I'm not trying to... Can I see them?" He curiously asks.

"No." I embarrassingly throw my hands over my mouth. "Why not?" He pouts. I ignore the question and watch as my doctor walks into the waiting room.

"Ellie?" She asks, calmly flashing me a smile. I walk over to her and, with Harry following us, we walk to the closest room available.

Harry put what little we had brought into the car when he woke up this morning.

"Did you lads know Ellie had braces?" Harry yells, bursting through the door of our house. "Yeah. You didn't?" Liam looks up from his biscuit batter.

"Mmmm. Those are my favorite." I breathe in the familiar scent of the Red Lobster biscuits. "I know." Liam smirks.

"Ellie!" Louis screams, running up to me and lifting me up. He places me, and my giggly self, in Harry's arms.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I have something for you." Liam runs upstairs as soon as he puts his food in the oven.

Liam walks down the stairs with a yellow bikini covered in white polka dots.

"So... Where am I supposed to use this?" I ask. "Just go put it on." He laughs, throwing it at me.

I walk down the steps and see that nobody is in the kitchen anymore.

"Boo!" An Irish accent comes from behind me as a familiar pair of arms wrap around me. "Niall..." I breathe a sigh of relief. "Miss me?" He smirks.

"I need to show you something." He says, grabbing my hand.

We walk into the backyard and Niall lets go of my hand. Then he walks over to a light switch and gestures for me to follow him.

"Flick the switch." He almost whispers.

I carefully flip the switch then hear some uncomfortable gears turning.

Then I see it. They have an in ground pool built into the deck.

"Cannon ball!" Harry screeches, throwing off his shirt and running out of the house. Once he hit the water there was a huge splash and water came leaking out of the top. Louis quickly follows, doing the same, and so does Liam. Then Zayn walks out of the house, nervously eyeing the pool.

"Come on." I urge. "No." Zayn pouts, throwing a towel on the only chair.

"Chicken!" I excitedly screech. Quickly, Louis and Harry partner up and Liam gets out of the pool to urge Zayn in, leaving Niall and I to be partners.

"Partners in crime: Nialie." I jokingly wrap my arm around his shoulder. "I like that..." Niall flashes me a quick smile before heading off to his own little world.

"Let's beat these little boys." He says, snapping back to reality. "I'll go underwater and you climb on my shoulders." He decides. Then, vanishes under.

I scramble onto his shoulders and Niall comes up again, grabbing my legs to support me. "Let's win this." I grab his shoulders and we both charge at a struggling Louis and Harry.
