CHAPTER 33
FROM DUBLIN
LINDY'S POV
Around seven in the evening in Canada, I was waiting for Harry to go online in Skype and since he was going to do a concert in Dublin, he’ll be popping out soon. He was busy almost hours ago for their sound check and a few run through for their set for this concert. He was busy but always made sure that he was able to talk to me through his day.
I was wearing my favorite baggy white shirt and a pair of cottony shorts beneath it securing a bowl of chips on my hand while a pitcher of orange juice on my table. It looked like I was going to binge watch a movie but in all honesty, I was just waiting for my superstar boyfriend to go online. I grabbed my phone and started plugging it to my speakers trying to look for a good music to play while eating my chips. I played Photograph by Ed Sheeran since I was a fan. I swayed my head along the music while taking a chip after chip inside my mouth as I went through Google trying to stalk One Direction and do a little digging of the band.
We keep this love in a photograph. We make these memories for ourselves.
Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken and time's forever frozen still.
So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans.
Holdin' me closer til our eyes meet.
You won't ever be alone. Wait for me to come home.
It fits us. Me and Harry.
This could possibly be our song and it makes me smile thinking about it. When it was finished, an upbeat song started. Rather Be by Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne started playing and this was literally my jam. I stood from my seat and started dancing from small steps since no one was really seeing me having my mini concert in my bedroom.
"When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be. No no no no no no place I'd rather be!" I sang my heart out while blasting my speakers up.
Then Ariana Grande’s song Focus started playing and Ariana is my queen. I grabbed my comb and thought of it as a microphone as I began to feel Ariana’s music into my system. I faced my back to the computer and faced myself on the mirror as I started feeling the beat as if I was Ariana herself even though I couldn’t stand against the queen herself.
"I’m over here doing what I like. I’m over here working day and night. And if my real ain’t real enough I’m sorry for you bae." I sang along literally feeling like I was killing the song. I pulled my comb closer to my mouth and sang my heart out loud, “Let’s find a light inside our universe now. Where ain’t nobody keep on holding us down. Just come and get it let them say what they say ‘cause I’m about to put them all away.”
I swayed my body and enjoying the music as it reaches the chorus, “Focus on me. F-F-Focus on me. Focus. Focus on me.” I swayed my head to the song throughout the entire choruse and imagined myself as if I was in Ariana’s concert.
“I know you’re hoping that I’ll react. I know you’re hoping I’m looking back but if my real ain’t real enough then I don’t know what is.”
I hear someone coughing dramatically which stiffened me like a board when a voice says, "Damn right I am focused only on you.”
My eyes got big when I see Harry's reflection on the mirror who was waving at me from my laptop with a huge grin on his face. I squirmed inwardly wondering how long he has been there watching me sing. I was thinking how embarrasing everything was and how happy he was watching me sing and dance like this. I stopped from dancing, fixed myself and bent my head down in embarrassment. I was too shy as I covered my face with my hands and I could hear him laugh in the background.
"Oh don't be embarrassed baby." he teased.
I totally forgot that I set automatically accept calls from him and it makes me sad thinking about choosing that option. I turned around to face him on my laptop and walked towards my seat then sat down. My was totally covered in red as I feel my cheeks literally warm.
“I didn’t know you were much of a dancer.” He tells me, smirking.
"Oh Im sure you enjoyed watching your girlfriend dancing like a crazy woman." I replied.
"It was very sexy.” He sounded pretty much sarcastic as he bite his fingertip while wiggling his brows at me.
I grabbed my bowl of chips and placed it on my lap while putting some on my mouth. I made face on him to mock him but he jsut laughs at me as he goes on saying, "You like Ariana?” He asks.
“She’s literally my Queen.” I say proudly.
“I can ask her to sigh something for you.” He was being too kind and I know he is teasing me again. “I can get you some ticket for her concert. Do you want to watch it together?”
My brows creasing, “Are you a fan too?”
He answers me with his lower lip protruding, “No, but I heard she’s a real wonderful person. But I would love to be in her concert with you so I can see you dance like that again.” He chuckles.
I rolled my eyes at him, “Oh please Harry. Stop it!”
He laughs a little louder, “What? I am serious.”
“Stop teasing me and my dance moves. Their killer dancce moves.”
He nods with his grin, “I know and I bet they are killer in person.”
I covered my face with my hands and I hear him laugh again before I pulled my head up to face him, “Stop teasing me so much.” I say.
“Okay, I’ll stop now.” he smiles. “How are you gorgeous?”
"I’ve been well. I have been faking my illness in front of my mom." I answered.
He nods, “You’re lying actually tricked her?”
“Kind of shocking is it?”
“Yeah, I mean I know you are one terrible liar.”
“Stop shoving it on my face.”
He smiles at me and even though he looked absolutely handsome sitting on that couch, I know he is tired. He was wearing a loose white longsleeves but I was unable to see his bottom.
"You look tired." I tell him.
He miled at me tightlipped, “The concert just finished and Im in my hotel room now. Im tired but I really wanted to see you before I sleep baby." He finishes with a yawn.
I smiled at him while chewing a chip in my mouth. “How did the concert go?”
“It went really well. The fans were asolutely incredible.”
“They always are, aren’t they?”
He nods.
“They love you guys and I can really see why they are so into you aside from your music. You guys know how appreciate and cherish your fans. Especially you.”
Harry smiles, “I cherish you more.”
“I knwo that.” I teased and he was smiling at me evilly. "Want some?" I asked him while pulling up the bowl of chips.
"Thanks baby buy I just ate.”
I nodded while putting my bowl back on my lap. His eyes were obviously sleepy and he looked awfully tired but how can he still manage to look so damn sex. Those full pinkish lips that I've been missing to kiss and how I miss touching his soft hair.
"It's Ed's song. It’s Kiss Me." he continued.
"Ed?"
"Ed Sheeran. My best bud."
"Oh my god!” I exclaimed. “You're close with him? I love that guy!”
He smiled and said, "Wanna meet him? I can always text him."
"Oh shit so he was the Ed on your phone?" I asked when I realized about it.
He nodded.
"God damn he texted me!" I exclaimed.
"That was my phone baby. So he texted me not you." He grins at me.
“Oh, right.” I looked dumbfounded.
He laughs under his throat as he grabs his laptop with his hand and walked somewhere.
"Where are you going?" I asked curiously.
"To the bed." he answered while setting himself on top of his mattress. He placed his laptop on the duvet as he lay down with his sweater. "You wouldnt mind me topless right?" he asked.
I gulped. "No.” I cleared my throat, trying to act normal. “Not at all. Just keep that boxer brief on."
He chuckles, “Don’t worry we’re going to get there someday. Don’t rush.”
“I am not rushing!”
He chuckles again while pulling his sweater off him. My eyes landed on his body and man I wish to see it in personal. He pulled up the duvet to his shoulders and I could see how his room was cold because he was shivering as soon as he complained about the aircondition in his room.
"I wish you were here. We could've done something fun to warm us up." He teased, smirking in dangerous smile at me.
My eyes glued on his face asthe lyrics of the song played on the background...
'And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved'
When the song came to an end, the next thing I see on my screen was Harry... sleeping like a little baby with his cheek rested on the top of his hand.
I smile as I stare at him and how selfish I would be but I wish he was here with me.
I touched the screen like I was touching his face, “Goodnight baby.”
