Carrington Hill

Another hour passed by as we laid in my bed and talked about nonsense with a bit of bickering as well. It was fun though, I didn't mind it. Well, that was until he basically lifted me out of the bed then took me in the bathroom and told me to get myself ready because we have already wasted two hours.

I smiled to myself when I was washing my teeth because I told him last night that I wasn't going to go anywhere before eight and since we messed around for two hours it was eight as I was getting ready. I know it's silly and everything but it made me smile and feel all happy and warm on the inside.

When I finished up in the bathroom with a bit of makeup on and my hair in a low pony tail I made my way out into my room just to find Harry lying on the bed and being on his phone. After that glance I didn't pay much more attention to him simply because my mind was filled with so many scenarios and different images it was getting hard to handle.

I fancied him so bloody much I could barely keep my smile off my face and the way my heart was racing in my chest was not exactly normal either. I kept imagining that he was my boyfriend and when I went out to get my clothes I just wanted to cuddle to his side and put my head on his chest. Then have him press kisses onto my hair and hug me back tightly.

Wow.

Alright, Carrington. Behave. You literally just met the guy and you already head over heels for him. Hold onto your horses before they run away and you totally lose control.

With my mind filled with many thoughts and images I finally got ready. I was wearing a grey coloured pair of shorts with a white cropped top, socks on my feet and later on when I got out I put my pink trainers on. I put some deodorant on as well and knowing that I was just going to be sitting in the gym, probably on my phone or staring at Harry, I just took my phone which I put on charge earlier on and picked my headphones up as well.

"Are you ready?" he asked me as he looked away from the screen of his phone and focused his attention on me. "You even have makeup on?"

"Yeah," I said as I searched for my sunglasses then when I spotted them on the armchair I snatched them from the seat. "Can we get going? I want some breakfast before we go because I'm absolutely starving."

"So you wanna waste another hour where we could be working out?"

"Yeah," I nodded with a soft smile on my lips then I popped my sunglasses on my face. "Let's go," I told him as I walked towards my door with the key in my hand.

He was soon behind me and when I closed the door he just locked it with the spare key he had. I rolled my eyes with a small grin on my lips and walked down the steps onto the little path we walked along last night.

"You didn't even bring anything with you," Harry reminded me and I didn't want to tell him that it was because I won't be doing shit so I just hummed in response. "Just so you know I am going to make you work out. Whether you like it or not."

"Oh, really? And, why is that?" I asked him as I raised one of my eyebrows while we were walking in the sun.

It was already mad hot and it wasn't even that late. When I checked the time on my phone it read ten to nine so just to think about how humid it was going to turn later on was a complete joke.

"I stayed in bed until eight with you."

"I never asked you to do that. I even told you I wasn't going to leave my room earlier than eight," I reminded him but he probably knew. "You could've gone to the gym at six and been done by seven or whenever you wanted to leave. But no, you barged in my room and got in my bed without my permission."

"Stop being such a downer, Carrington," he told me as he put his left arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. "You'll have fun – we'll have fun."

"I can only imagine how fun it can be to be working out while you're on holiday."

"You're so stubborn it hurts sometimes," he laughed then pulled away from me. I was thankful for that because I was already sweating but I was also a tad bit sad because I wanted him to stay close to me.

"You wanted to hang out this morning, don't blame me for being moody. I love sleeping; it's literally one of my main three hobbies."

"What are the other two?" he asked me as a laugh left his lips.

"Dancing and eating."

"I was hoping you would say 'hanging out with Harry' but you just cold heartedly broke my heart," he shook his head while a fake sad sigh escaped from his mouth. "Why would a pretty girl like you hurt my heart?"

"Because not every pretty girl is nice. Some of them, like me since you think I'm oh-so-pretty, have the balls to not let pretty boys like yourself distract them."

"So you think I'm a pretty boy? I was handsome last night."

"Don't get too carried away," I told him with a smug smile on my lips. I loved teasing him and spending time with him so I could have actually considered that as a newly found hobby of mine. "I have a future to focus on; you can't get in my way."

"Oh, damn, sorry, madam," he said with a serious tone though I knew he was joking. So was I, well, kind of. "I will not be in the way of your future anymore."

"Thanks, I'll appreciate that," I nodded with a big smile on my face.

It had probably been an hour and a half since we got to the gym and I was already bored out of my mind. There was no way I would work out because I was still tired and I was too comfortable as I laid on the beanbag in the corner. So that was a plus. Not to mention, the WiFi was bomb in the gym, I had a smoothie with me and glancing up to Harry here and there while he was working out kept me entertained.

"Hey, Carrington," Harry called my name just as I was scrolling down my Instagram feed so I looked up to him just to find him stood in front of me. "Do you wanna sit on my shoulders?"

"You nasty thing, why would I do that?"

"So I have some weight on the top half of my body while I do squats. Gotta get that booty poppin' for my photoshoots and catwalks," he winked at me and put his hand out for me to take.

I laughed with my head leaned back and locked my phone as I put my right hand in his left one. Harry grinned as he pulled me up and picked up both of our bottles of water we knicked from the restaurant. His hand was so huge compared to mine that it almost disappeared in his touch.

"Right," he said when we stopped in front of the huge mirrors. He let go of my hand and put the bottles down. "Get on top of that and then put one of your legs over my shoulder then the other one."

"Are you insane? I'm gonna fall off!" I looked at him with my eyes widened and mouth slightly hung open. I thought of the worst things that can happen and breaking all my bones in my body by falling down was at the top.

"Just trust me, I'll keep you up," he told me seriously. Like, his eyes were serious and so was his voice. I still looked at him with a bit of doubt in my mind. "Come on, it's gonna be fun."

"It will definitely be fun when you see me falling down with my face towards the ground."

"Honestly, come on, you'll be fine," he told me again with a small smile on his lips. "You can teach me some crazy dance moves after it, yeah?"

"Why would I do that?"

"So that we can surprise Mia and Aiden. I bet you they think I'll mess it up and since you're a professional dancer and everything they know you'll do fab."

"Ugh, but, Harry, you actually better be holding me up properly or I will not talk to you anymore."

"Okay, I will hold you up properly. I wouldn't want anything happening to you. I want to take you on a date first, if you are up for it, too."

"A date?" I asked back with a shocked impression. I wasn't expecting that from him.

"Yeah. I mean, you seem like a lovely girl and I enjoy your company. Why not? If it won't work out we can just stay friends," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.

Well I hope it'll work out. I wanna be more than a friend to you.

"Okay, we'll see about that after your little acrobat actions," I sighed. "Tell Mia to tell my parents I love them if I die."

"Sure," he nodded and sat down in front of the seat as I stood on it.

I quickly stuffed my phone into my bra on the side which totally reminded me of the times when I used to sneak it in P.E. in school. The teachers never noticed it or they were just simply not arsed. Either way, I never got caught and I could freely be on my phone during the lesson. When I looked in the mirror, I saw Harry grinning and he even shook his head a little as he watched me put my phone away.

I pulled on my pony tail a bit so it was tighter then I took a hold of Harry's hands that he was already holding up for me to take. First, I put my left leg on his shoulder as my hands were holding tightly onto his – so tight, they were turning white where I was grasping it. Once I felt sort of secure I put my other leg on his shoulder as well and I felt as if I was gonna fall down right away.

"Steady," he said with a light chuckle and I took a deep breath while I closed my eyes.

"Okay, I can do this," I muttered and I was sure that Harry heard me which I could tell when I looked in the mirror and saw his smile. "Okay, you can stand up,"

"Sure?"

"As sure as I'll ever be," I nodded and bit down on my lower lip. When he started to stand up I had to close my eyes and I kept muttering 'shit, shit, shit' then by the time I opened them everything was fine. "Okay, please, do not drop me."

"You say okay a lot when you're nervous," Harry told me but I just let his comment slide. I wasn't in the right frame of mind to bicker with him. "I'll start moving now so watch out."

And he bloody did. Even though he was doing the squats slowly at first he got more into them and I had no idea how. I was surely not so light and he really did squat down and back up until his legs were straight again.

As we, well, he did the exercise for a bit longer I grew more confident and I trusted him more considering he actually kept his promise and held me up. In fact I felt so safe and secure on his shoulders with his fingers around my ankles that I took my phone out and opened up snapchat.

I zoomed in on Harry's face in the first like five videos I took and saved them but not posted them. Like I mentioned before I had a bit of a following and since Harry was known for being a model and stuff I gathered that some of the people who have added me on snapchat know him as well. And I certainly wasn't going to give away where we were or that I even spent time with him. I didn't want to find myself in a middle of everyone's attention and I certainly did not want to climb on Harry's back to get known.

I was doing just fine on my own with that little amount of focus I got from those who found me interesting.

"Did you post any of those videos you took?" he asked me when he put me down then took his water bottle from the floor and drank all that was left in it.

It was weird to stand on my feet again after sitting on Harry's shoulders for more than five minutes.

"No, I just saved them all," I told him and he nodded. "Why?"

"No reason at all, just wondering."

"Oh, right."

"Let's take a selfie, you can post that if you want to," he suggested. "Since you're all big on social media and everything I suppose you got to give something to your lovers."

"I'm not big on social media," I said, starting another silly bickering between us. I enjoyed it too much and the fact that Harry did too, made the whole thing even better.

"How many followers do you have?"

"A bit more than 50,000 but that's compared to your twenty million or twenty one or however much you have is literally nothing."

"Post a picture of us and trust me those numbers will go up," he winked at me which caused my mouth to drop open in shock. "I'm only messing," he laughed as he patted my waist a little with his hand.

"You are so cheeky," I told him when I turned around because he walked past me.

"Come on, you don't have to post it then but send it to me at least."

"Are you going to post it?" I asked him with an arched brow. I didn't see why he wanted a picture but at the same time I was dying to finally take it. Just the thought of being able to stare at it whenever made me feel all happy on the inside and probably made me seem like a hardcore fangirl.

"We'll see," he shrugged. "Alright, come on, do the duck face and peace sign or whatever you girls do when you take a picture."

"Excuse you, Harry Styles," my voice got higher as his full name rolled off my tongue but he just laughed. When I looked in the mirror he was already standing next to me, extremely close, with his tongue out and made a peace sign with his right hand. "Oh, look at you posing."

"I'm a model after all," he fired back and I had nothing left to say.

Damn, that was a good comeback.

I ended up just simply smiling while Harry closed his eyes and kept his tongue out with the peace sign. Once the picture was taken, he looked to the phone to see the mirror picture but before I saved it I swiped to the left to put that good filter on and it made the whole photo look even better.

"Wait, let's take another one," I held on to his arm when he was about to walk away. Firstly, I couldn't believe he was okay with taking one picture since it wasn't the best and secondly, I wanted more pictures with him.

"Alright, okay," he nodded without having any kind of problems with it.

On this picture he had his arm hanging from my shoulder which was closer to him with the handsomest smile on his face. I put my weight on one of my legs as I just kept my other leg up and bended a bit but still kept it on the ground so that my bum was a bit more visible. I made the duck face Harry was on about as I put my left hand on my waist and I tilted my head to the side a bit.

And then after that we took like five more pictures if not more with all the snapchat filters. When we did one with the face swapping one we ended up laughing for what felt like ages since we found it hilarious. I really wasn't going to post that one so when I saved it then deleted it from the screen Harry actually made us take a good one with the bomb lighting that the gym had and a nice filter that he also ended up captioning and then he was the one to post it as well.

I didn't have the balls. And I also didn't want anyone thinking I was using Harry and his name or platform or fans or whatever people could think of once they saw our picture. Don't get me wrong I didn't think that many people were up my arse and such but if the word will get out it is a possibility that his fans and admirers will find something to say about me.

I knew how this whole celebrity industry worked a bit too well maybe.

"Do you know anything about what's happening today?" Harry asked me as we were walking back to my room since he found it extra important to do so. I didn't even ask him, he just tagged along.

"Well I'm pretty sure Mia might be waiting at my room or left me a note or something because she didn't call me yet. Which is surprising because you'd think she would be going crazy and everything."

"I suppose but all I can think of is food right now."

"We probably should have went and got something to eat," I sighed. "Oh, well, I'll just order something to my room to eat."

"I wish I could tag along but I have to go and take a shower," he told me which I was expecting. I mean he just worked out.

"You can always come over later if you want," I suggested and slightly hoped he would agree.

"I might do. If Aiden won't drag me to do whatever he wants me to, that is."

"God, thinking about it now, Mia might want to start getting ready," I said as I actually thought about the reason why I was here in the first place. "I have never been to a wedding in my life."

"Well, I have. It was my mother's friend's, obviously. It was interesting. She was so nervous but everything went down well."

Soon enough we got back to my room and I found Mia sitting on the stairs just staring in front of herself. That startled me a little bit because even though I had a slight feeling she might be there I didn't actually expect her to.

"Carrington, finally," she sighed as she got up, not even noticing Harry at first. "Oh, Harry, hello."

"Hi, Mia," he greeted her back and when I looked at her face, there was a grin located on her lips and that questioning look homed in her eyes. "I'll see you two later."

"Sure," I nodded with a smile. "Bye, Harry."

"See you later," said Mia and then she pulled me up the stairs by my hand. "Okay, what the fuck was he doing here with you?" she asked me excitedly and I just laughed.

I knew she would ask me about it I just didn't think it would be so soon.
