JUST GOT LUCKY novel Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24

WILD

LINDY'S POV

Right when he left, I went back inside the house and walked to my room. My mind was running around, imagining how he hugged me on his arms and kissed my cheeks so unexpectedly. I recalled how he joked around making me laugh and how I really enjoyed my time spent with him.

Harry Styles, the guy whom every girl in the world loves so much, just kissed me on my cheek.

I feel lucky.

As I reached my room, I sat down on my bed feeling sad that he had to leave but happy that I was able to finally meet him and talk to him and get to spend just a few hours of being with him. My room was spotless since he was the one who cleaned my room after we ate and how he petted Button the entire time we were watching a movie.

I lay myself on the duvet and just can't stop thinking about Harry and everything that happened today until the moment he left my house. We were almost caught many times and I was so nervous but he was able to calm me down. Oh Harry, you have that effect on me right now that I can't seem to stop thinking about you and I don’t think I will never be able to stop thinking about you like one of your fangirls who are cray about you. I know I shouldn't feel this way because he's a freaking celebrity.

He's famous.

He's unreachable.

He will probably just ignore me days after this night since he'll be busy with work and meeting some pretty women in his field plus there’s this time difference which will be a hindrance too. I'm sure there are tons of beautiful women surrounding him and are after him that I wont be able to compete because I am plain Jane. I mean, I'm just Lindy. The girl he swapped phones with. I'm not that pretty, I'm not that famous and I'm just some regular teenage girl.

I don't quite understand what I feel right now and I know it is bad to put yourself down when I should be encouraging myself more.

To be honest, I love staring at his eyes they are like pool of emeralds. I wanna touch and run my fingers through his mop of chestnut curls and long hair. I love how he smiles at me and how that wrinkled dimple on his cheeks appear when he does it I love how he just stares at me and reassures me that he will be back. I love how he focuses his eyes on me when I am talking and how he managed to put Button to sleep on his lap when petting her. I loved how he hugged me and I loved how he kissed my cheek. I wanna hug him all the time. I wanna bury my face on his chest because he smells super manly. I love how teases me and tells me I'm beautiful and reminds me that I am beautiful. I love how he calls me babe or how he absentmindedly calls me baby.

God...

I think I'm in love with Harry Styles.

I exhaled heavily.

You’re now an official part of the Harry Styles bandwagon.

The following morning, I was almost late for my first class and I only a little time of sleep but I was in a good mood. We had a few exams in the morning and when it was already lunch time, I was sitting down on the table alone because Martha was not around since she was having a fever. I guess she got really sick this time and I cannot believe she missed so may exams.

Suddenly, this song started playing out of nowhere. Wait, it's a One Direction song playing. I looked around and wondered where it was coming from. I see other students staring at me.

"You're insecure don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or. Don't need make up to cover up, being the way that you are is eno-o-ough."

Others were smiling at me and hollered out to me calling me a Directioner and others were just purely making fun of me because they were just bored with their own lives that they have to make fun of others to make them laugh.

"Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you."

My eyes got big when I realized that it was coming from my bag! I hurriedly looked for it and realized that it was my phone.

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else.."

Harold calling...

I caved in, “Hey.”

"Loved listening to your new ringtone babe?” I can feel him smirking when he said that. “You didn't answer my call quickly so I guess you loved hearing it.”

He's such a tease.

"Nice try Harold." I sarcastically answered.

Oh he doesn't know what I did to his phone. Wait till I give you a call, Styles.

I grinned.

I can hear him chuckle. "How's lunch babe?"

"Hi Lindy!!"

I could hear someone yelling from the background. "That was Louis." Harry informs.

"Oh. Are you with the boys?" I asked.

"Yup. We're all in Liam's room right now. And you?"

"I'm having lunch now actually. Thanks for that wonderful ringtone." I tell him sarcastically.

"You are indeed welcome." He chuckles.

I took a sip from my juice while I can hear the other guys laughing and talking. I can feel them monkeying around. "How was your day?" Harry asked.

"Kind of having a bad day today. Tons of exams in the morning, then Avery and her friends calling me ugly and kept teasing me. But you know, it’s the usual. I ignored them."

"Wait a sec. Ok?" he says.

"Alright." I wondered what he was going to do so I waited for him as I eat my lunch.

He was gone for a while which makes me wonder what he is doing. I could hear the guys talking to each other but I couldn't hear what they are saying because Louis was always screaming and Niall was laughing so loud.

"Lindy." Harry finally returns.

"Yeah?"

"I want you to listen.”

My brows creasing, “Listen to what?”

“Just hear this out. It will be quick and it’s like VIP. Sort of.” Harry chuckles. “Ready lads?"

"What's going on Harold?" I ask frantically.

“One two three four..” Harry counts. "Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you..." 

His voice was deep and soothing to listen to and I cannot believe he is actually singing right now.

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else.” Astonishingly, the other boys were all singing in unison which was truly surprising.

“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 kno-o-ow, you don't know you're beautiful." 

Oh my fucking God, One Direction is singing to me through the phone.

"If only you saw what I can see, you'll understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you don't kno-o-ow, you don't know you're beautifu-u-ul." They continued and hearing their voicing made was incredibly worth my while.

"But that's what makes you beautiful." Harry finished the chorus.

I just smiled there like stupid while playing my fork with the peas on my lunch box.

"That was for you, beautiful!"

My eyes widened. I know that voice!

"That was Zayn, was it?" I asked happily then looked over the others if they heard me.

"Yup. This is me." Zayn answered.

I tried to choke a squeal. “Oh my gosh, hi Zayn.”

“Hello hello be-you-ti-ful!”

Can I die?

"Okay! Zayn that’s enough. That’s my phone. That’s my woman.” I hear Harry in the background.

“Ah, ah, ah. Where are your manners Harreh?” Zayn speaks to him.

“Give me back my phone Zayn." Harry demanded.

I laughed listening to how chaotic they sounded and how Niall just kept laughing while Louis and Liam kept teasing Harry. I can even hear Zayn’s laugh which sounded hot.

"Gimme that back!” Harry screams.

Zayn laughs again, “You don’t have to be brutal Harreh. I am still talking. Manners, boy.”

“Don’t boy me Zayn! Jesus get yourself an iPhone!” Harry shouts back which makes me laugh even louder and I think the other students were now looking at me weirdly.

But, who cares? I am talking to THE One Direction.

I hear some rustling over the line and I had no idea what was now going on. “Lindy, Harry is really fucking obsessed with you.” I think that was Liam.

“Oh Jesus Christ Liam!” I hear Harry.

Louis puts on his shirt, “What do you feel when you see Lindy? That’ll be a good title for it.”

Zayn comes closer to us and hangs his arm around Louis’ shoulders, “I got something to show you.” He drags Louis away from me.

Suddenly, I received a text message from Lindy at four, so I am guessing her classes are over.

Just finished my class :) -Lindy

That's good to hear babe. I'm at the backstage of Hello Canada! talkshow with the other lads. We’re preparing to do it in a few minutes. -Harold

“Come along Harry.” Caroline calls for me.

I placed my phone on the table and approached her as I began to stare at the rack of clothes which were displayed in front of me. I took off my shirt to try what Caroline handed to me but suddenly, this nursery song started playing out of nowhere. All of us started looking at each other wondering whose phone it was.

"One little two little three little indians four little five little six little indians seven little eight little nine little Indians. Ten little Indian boys. OH-WO-WO-WO-WO-WO!!"

We starts laughing.

“What the fuck is that?” I commented.

Niall laughs aloud, “Is that a ring tone?”

I smile as I got myself busy in choosing what to wear. The song disappears for a while then there it goes again making all of us laugh.

“Can someone get that?” I say jokingly while laughing.

"I think it's your phone Harry." Liam informs me while grinning.

I looked over my phone and it was lighting up. Their laughter became louder and I hurriedly ran to my phone having a bad feeling that Lindy might be behind this.

Lindy calling...

I knew it.

“Hey little Indian.” Louis teases.

“Oh shush.” I hushed before caving in. “Well hello you.”

“Hi! Just checking in.”

“Yeah, checking in if the ringtone worked?” I hear her laughing and it makes me smile. “Well it practically did work marvelously.”

“Loved listening to your new ringtone?” I can sense her teasing me and I am loving it. “You didn't answer my call quickly." And I can’t believe she is actually using my own words against me.

I smirk, "Touche. Tou-che. Nice try Lindy. Very funny."

I hear her giggle. God, the cutest thing ever.

"OH-WO-WO-WO-WO-WO!!" Louis did the hand-to-mouth thing that imitates the Indians.

That made Lindy laugh which causes me to smile at Louis as the rest of us continued laughing at Louis while they kept teasing me.

"It was a marvelous idea. Thank you." I tell her with full sarcasm.

"I mean, you are welcome. It's your favorite song." She teased.

I walked back to Caroline and grabbed the shirt from her. “Thank you Caroline.” I tell her. "I can't believe you made that effort to change my ringtone babe. Ain't that so sweet?"

"You don't have to say that Harold. I know you loved it." She chuckles.

"Guys, five minutes." The stage man comes into our dressing room.

"I gotta call you back babe.” I tell Lindy. “Gotta be ready for the talkshow. Are you gonna be watching?"

"Of course. I'll watch. I just got home now."

"Alright. Later, babe."

"Later Harold."

She hangs up while I quickly gave my phone to Lou before putting the shirt over me as I fixed my hair with my fingers. All of us started fixing ourselves while Lou started spraying our hair before they handed us our microphones and an earpiece.
