Chapter 6

*Jades POV*


I have to win this karaoke thing, or I'll look like a fool. I don't enjoy that. Now what to sing...?


And what to wear. I went through my temporary closet throwing the discarded items behind me. Why was it so hard to find a decent outfit? I rifled through until the closet was empty, so I turned around, sighing, to go re-assess the previously discarded items.


Finally after much deliberation, I chose a a black lacy top with a low cut vest top underneath with my favourite black mini skirt, tights and black calf-high boots. Sounds pretty perfect if I'm honest.

*Liams POV*


The boys had arrived! It was so good to see them even if it was that early in the morning, and though it had only been 2 days it felt like I hadn't seen them in forever.


"Hey Liam! Vas happenin'?" Zayn greeted me, giving me a high five. Of course he used the signature phrase which can be so annoying and endearing at the same time.


"Hi Li," Niall smiled at me offering a hug, which I accepted. I saw Harry trailing behind. He looked a little on edge, not his normal bubbly self.


"What's up Hazza bear?" I asked, smirking at the name. He looked at me fleetingly and gave me a half hearted smile instead of the dimpled grin I know and love (as do the girls, apparently). Harry looked around and I realised what he was so worried about. "Are you looking for Jade?" His eyes widened and then an embarrassed blush coated his cheeks. "Don't worry, her bark is much worse than her bite." He looked at me properly, taking in my playful smile, then his face broke into the cheesiest grin I had ever seen. I swear, I thought his face was going to crack in two.


"Nice to see you man." He said, becoming his normal self again. As the boy pulled me in for the typical 'man hug' like always, I realized one was missing. "There are still only four of us. Where's the other one? Has anyone seen the tiny-"


I didn't get to finish my oh-so-hilarious sentence because I was winded by the entity crashing into my side at a million miles per hour, which then jumped into my arms so I was holding him bridal style, whilst yelling "LILI!" and giving me a sloppy kiss on the cheek.


"Ewww Lewis you got slobber on me!" I said putting him down and trying not to laugh as I failed to keep the disappointed look on my face.


He looked sad and gave me the puppy dog eyes. I winked at him and a grin appeared on his face. "I knew you loved me." He gloated, linking arms with me. "Now lets check out the indoor pool at this joint! TO THE GIRLS IN BIKINIS!" He yelled, making me laugh.


"TO THE GIRLS IN BIKINIS!" We chorused and ran off to get changed.


*Jades POV*


The big day had arrived. I was going to beat Liam, there was no way I could fail. I couldn't be bothered with breakfast. It was about time to hit the hot tub, but in which bikini? Decisions, decisions...


I finally decided on an electric blue one, that has a little skirt attached to the bottoms. I grabbed my 'beach bag' and everything I needed including a towel, a book (The Scissoring), sunglasses and my special scissors that Cat got me for christmas.


If I was going to be practical, I'd put my hair up in a messy bun, but I wasn't really a messy bun type of girl. I decided to leave it loose, cascading down my back in it's perfect natural curls, showing off the bright blue and purple highlights. I put on a pair of black denim shorts and a black flowing halter neck top to cover my bikini.


I grabbed my bag and headed for the lift. As I passed Liam's room, I heard no noise. Probably still sleeping, it was only about eight am. I got in the lift and zoomed upwards towards the waterpark floor.


*Harrys POV*


The pool was great, huge and deep and it felt like we hadn't had any guy time in so long. I loved these guys, they were like my brothers and it was fun and all, but I couldn't stop thinking about that girl, Jade. Even though Liam said that she was harmless, she still scared me. Don't judge me, I was born this way. I was just going to dunk Lou's head underwater when I noticed her over by the lifts.


"Hazza bear! Harry. DUDE!" Louis lost patience and slapped me across the cheek. He was still jigging up and down and the guys were all laughing at me.


"OW! LEWIS! YOU HURT MY FACE! MY BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL FACE!" I pretended to be heartbroken, but Louis looked genuinely worried, so I did what any normal person would do. I splashed him in the face.


His mouth dropped open, but I didn't care. My attention was back on Jade. Louis followed my gaze. "Oh. Ok." He suddenly caught on. "Impressive." The others looked. Zayn yelled "I want me a piece of that!" and the others made similar noises of approval as they turned and we caught jade slipping off her shorts and pulling her top over her head and they all started whistling. I blushed and Liam looked totally and utterly pissed off. As in royally.


We must have been making quite a bit of noise, because Jade turned around and glared at us over the top of her huge sunglasses. She rolled her eyes and sat back on her lounger and got her book. Zayn, never to be the shy one, ran a hand through his hair and went over to her. Something told me this wasn't going to go well...


*Zayns POV*


"Hey, I don't know if you remember me, I'm one of Liam's mates. I saw you on the video chat yesterday." Pretty smooth Zayn, pretty smooth. She thought for a minute with her face blank and then snapped her fingers.


"Oh yeah! You were the one that was staring at my tits the whole time." Jade said back with sarcastic enthusiasm.


"Ye- wait what?"


I'm so confused. What do you say in this situation?


*Jades POV*


Great. I thought I was in for a relaxing morning. I was so wrong, except I'm is never wrong, so these guys had to leave or shut up or drown or something. I was just putting my stuff down and getting out of my clothes and this deafening whistling and shouting started up behind me.


I turned and there they were, obviously the same idiots. I glared at them, then got out my book. I couldn't wait to (re)read about how Tawny comes back and murders her friends with a pair of scissors, starting with the pretty girl.


The next thing I knew I was being dripped on and a shadow appeared over me. I looked up and just sat there, waiting for an explanation. I took in his appearance while I was waiting. Coffee coloured skin; deep black hair styled in a small quiff; nice body and lots of tattoos.


He spoke at last. "Hey, I don't know if you remember me, I'm one of Liam's mates. I saw you on the video chat yesterday." I was a bit slow on the uptake, but not confused. Obviously.


Then I went through the Skype call in my head. I remembered him alright. I snapped my fingers like I do whenever I think of something sarcastic. "Oh yeah. you were the one that was staring at my tits the whole time." That should keep him busy for a minute. Zayn went to answer, then actually registered what I said and stuttered.


We were soon joined by Liam's other friends. This is going to be a hard morning.
