JUST GOT LUCKY novel Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25

SNEAKING IN & OUT

LINDY'S POV

I grabbed the remote and turned the TV on as I searched for the channel where Hello Canada! was and waited for the One Direction boys. The talk show host started talking about their fame and countries they've visited before coming over to Canada and how much they have accomplished for the past years. Finally, he introduced them and they walked out from backstage making the fans in the studio were screaming deafeningly.

Harry wore a simple black shirt, a pair of black jeans, brown Chelsea boots looking so handsome like a prince charming of the ten little Indian boys. There goes Harold and I cannot believe that I just talked to him over the phone before he walked out on that stage and embarrassed him with his adorable ringtone.

"Harry, one. Lindy, one." I thought to myself while smiling.

They sat down on the couch side by side, while greeting Freddie and Cynthia, the hosts, then the audiences and lastly the televiewers. They looked calm and organized unlike how noisy they were when they were calling me earlier. The fans were still screaming their names and how adorable Harry looked when he waved to the fans who were n stage.

"Hello boys.”

“Hello.” They answered almost in unison.

“Welcome to Hello Canada. How have you all been doing?" Cynthia asks with a wide smile.

"We are feeling really good. Canada is so amazing so far." Liam answered.

"Are you enjoying your stay?" Freddie asks.

"We are enjoying every bit of Canada. I mean there’s so much more to see and the fans in here are incredible." Louis answered making the fans to scream again.

Cynthia chuckles, "I’m sure your fans are all so happy to see you around the city. Have you guys tried poutine?”

I smiled when I remembered Harold tasted it for the first time.

"I did tried poutine.” Harry was quick to answer. “A special friend of mine told me it was better than tacos so I tried eating it and she was right. It was very delicious."

I smiled, special friend.

"Special friend?” Cynthia interrogates intriguingly. “Who is this girl you are talking about Harry? Would it be alright to let us know?"

"Uhhh..” Harry trails as he glances at the other boys who were also staring at him. I see Liam and Louis shaking their heads to Harry before looking away. “I’m can't tell you who she is because I want to respect her privacy.” He answers. “And she is really special to me so I don’t want her to loose her own privacy.”

I grabbed the pillow and hugged it while giggling. He said I am special to him. Can I just die?

"I'm sure she's watching right now. Hello, you know who you are." Harry says happily with a smile while waving to the camera.

I dumped my face on the pillow and screamed. The other boys were smiling and glancing over at Harry but the interviewers didn’t look happy with his answer and I hate the media.

"How about you Niall, you're the other single member on this boyband. Do you have a special friend too right now?" Freddie asks with a smile.

"Well to be honest, our fans are my special friends.” Niall says with a smile.

The crowd goes wild.

“Oh we know your fans are really special for you. But are you seeing someone right now?”

“I wish but I guess I am just so busy with our tour and all.” Niall answers. “They can juggle being busy with work and having someone so that makes me feel like I'm the only one among us who is not busy with a girl. I mean Zayn, Liam and Louis are taken so that leaves me alone.”

"Oh, so is Harry taking this girl seriously?" Freddie questions, throwing it back to Harry..

"Definitely.” Harry answers right away. “I always take girls seriously whether they are my friends or just acquaintances. But you know, like what I said, she's a friend.”

“Who is very special to you?” Cynthia smiles.

Harry nods.

I cannot stop myself from smiling.

“We all have special friends.” Louis butts in. “I mean, for instance, for me I also have a special friend back in Doncaster.”

The other boys nods.

“Do you have a special friend Zayn?” Liam asks, trying not to focus the conversation about Harry and me. “I think my special friend is Louis.”

“Oh thanks Liam. You are too sweet.” Louis smiles.

Harry fakes a smile as he stares at the interviewer eagerly.

"So are you dating her, Harry?" Freddie asks with his annoying smile and I cannot believe how intrusive this man can be. They just doesnt stop.

Harry wrinkles his noseline,"Like I said, we are friends.”

Yes, we are not dating. Sigh.

"Is this friendship gonna bloom?" Cynthia asked.

Harry just smiled and answered, "Who knows, right? I mean, if things happen then it will.”

I lay on the couch, raising my arms and feet on the air while screaming out of happiness. I looked so stupid and so funny that made me laugh at myself. Their interview continued as they talked about their new songs, CD, concerts and many other stuff. The talkshow also talked about Zayn's engagement, Louis' relationship and Liam's too and no longer circling around Harry.

After watching the show, I went up to my room to change to my pajamas. I was still in cloud nine with what Harry said in the interview but I know I should not let it get in my head.

You did great. Thumbs up to you and the others. -Lindy

That night, as I was doing my assignment, my phone suddenly rang and played What Makes You Beautiful. I grabbed it and answered Harry's call.

"Hello beautiful." He greeted.

"Hi Styles." I answered.

"So sorry I wasn't able to text you back. I was really busy after the talk show."

"It's alright."

"I'm actually at Nando's right now. Having dinner with the lads."

I glanced at my watch. 7:23PM

"What are you doing babe?" He asked.

"Just doing my assignments."

"Will you grab your Math notebook for me?"

"Why?" I asked while grabbing it.

"Turn to the last page." He ordered.

I flipped the pages of my notebook and turned to the back part. I was shocked with what my eyes were looking at. He left a message on my notebook.

"Seeing it?" He asked.

"I'm looking at it now."

I smiled at it that reads:

LINDY

I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be quite upfront and completely truthful, you make my body forget that I have knees at all. You make me feel safe, but I'll keep you wild babe.

-Harry xx

"That's so sweet Harold." I commented.”And what’s this about keeping me wild?

Harry chuckles, “I meant to be out of your comfort zone and being free about not worrying what others will think or not letting anyone bully you.”

I smile stupidly, “I like it though.”

"I'm glad you did."

"You didn't even ask for my permission that you'll scribble something on my notebook."

"Well, no need to ask for it. I wanted to surprise you." He said.

I smiled while I was still staring at it. He's the sweetest.
