CH.88:"ONE DIRECTION"

LINDY’S POV

Martha rushes to my side, “What are you standing there? C’mon and join me!”

I smile as I let her drag me back to the crowd where we joined the rest of the students who were all admiring One Direction singing on stage. The spotlight were One Direction won the stage and all students had their phones out ready to film them sing.

The song started right away on Liam’s cue as the piano begin to play the intro for Night Changes.

“Going out tonight…” Zayn’s angelic voice fills the entire ballroom and how it gives me goosebumps hearing it. “Changes into something red, her mother doesn’t like that kinda dress. Everyhing she’s never had, she’s showing off.”

“Driving too fast moon is breaking through her hair.” Liam smiles at the crowd. “She’s heading for something that she won’t forget. Having no regrets is all that she really wants.”

“We’re only getting older baby.” Zayn sings Harry’s part instead and he’s literally killing the lyrics in his Zorro costume. “And I’ve been thinking about it lately, does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes?”

“Everything that you ever dreamed of.” Liam continues the rest of the chorus which made the entire crowd intensely quiet. “Disappearing when you wake up, but there’s nothing to be afraid of even when the night changes, it will never change me and you.”

My heart was pouding as soon as drums started playing in the background and for some reason, I don’t know why I was getting nervous. My eyes caught glimpse of the student in a prince attire but with the massive Beast headpiece over his head as he dance alone along to the song in the corner. He seemed to be having fun even if he was alone and I cannot believe he is able to breathe in that thing.

“Chasing her tonight, doubts are running ‘round her head.” Louis’ sweet voice makes me smile as he stares at me dearly. “He’s waiting, hides behind the cigarette, heart is beating loud but she doesn’t want it to stop.”

Niall glued his eyes on Martha and this lad is literally head over heels for my own best friend and so is she towards him. “Moving too fast moon is lighting up her skin.” He smiles at her as she stares at me the moment I nudged her side.

My own best friend is really in love.

“She’s falling, doesnt even know it. Having no regrets is all that she really wants.”

The four of them started singing the chorus with wonderful voices in different tone and it sounded well blended as they sing in unison. They really harmonized well and it made a few girls in the audience sing along with them too. “We’re only getting older baby and I’ve been thinking about it lately, does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes. Everything that you ever dreamed of is disappearing when you wake up, but there’s nothing to be afraid of even when the night changes, it will never change me and you.”

Liam releases a soft and long ooh which sounded so soothing before Zayn sings again which made the entire audience terribly silent, “Going out tonight, changes into something red her mother doesnt like that kinda dress. Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost.”

As they continued singing the chorus again, out in a spur of moment the student with the Beast headpiece started coming towards where I was standing with Martha. The other students had to move aside because Paul made sure that there was no commotion in front of the stage. The student under the Beast headpiece just kept dancing in front of me as I hear Louis laughing softly and quickly over the microphone which makes the rest of the lads smile too.

“What the hell is this dude doing?” I asked Martha.

Martha laughs as the boy with the Beast headpiece is getting everyone’s attention attention because he was literally dancing in front of me, facing my direction. He takes my hand to his and I was just laughing getting all weirded.

“It will never change baby.” My eyes quickly scanned the entire place as soon as the voice sounded familiar.

“It will never change baby.”

It was Harry.

“It will never change me and you.”

It has got to be Harry. I know that raspy voice and I know it was him.

The song ends and the entire ballroom was silent since I felt everyone was looking me as I stand in the middle of the dancefloor. My attention focused on the tall student who is standing still in front of me and I don’t know why he is here. My eyes scanned his entire clothes, he wore a ravishing classic prince attire and brown boots on his feet but the headpiece was too big that it caught everyone’s attention.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“Why don’t you take off the headpiece to see?” Liam tells me over the mic.

“I mean, he has been dancing to the song the entire time.” Louis says while smiling.

I look back at the student under the headpiece.

“Take it off!” Louis chants repetitively which were then joined by the others lads then by the entire students who were here. The chant continued and it was making me curious and nervous at the same time since this student suddenly came up to me out of nowhere.

I held onto the headpiece with both hands and started pulling it off from this man’s head. I slowly and carefully pulled it out from him and since he was too tall, he had to bend down a little bit to adjust to my height and as soon as I successfully grabbed it.

Everyone gasped as soon as the headpiece was off and I was tremendously in shock to see Harry Styles standing in front of me fixing his long hair and the head mic that he has on him.

He was standing right in front of me with a smile on his face as soon as he stared into my eyes.

“Surprise!!” The lads said happily in unison as they continued cheering.

I clipped my jaws together as my eyes were still dilated in shock to seeing him here.

I turn to Martha who is now smiling at me evilly. She was behind this, for sure. I mean, how would Harry dress up as Beast if she didn’t tell him that I was going to dress up as Belle.

I turn to Harry and his emerald eyes, “What are you…” I trailed off as I ran out of words. I glance at his hand which was holding my hand and he is real. “What are you doing here?”

“I wanted to surprise you and…made the trip as soon as I had a free schedule.” He answers as it echoes throughout the entire room. “I was not able to come here for your graduation and I felt bad that I wasn’t able to come.”

“You didn’t have to surprise me this grandly.” I answer him. “I mean not in front of the entire school and the faculty.”

“I wanted to show those people who bullied you and made fun of you why they will never ever be better than you because you’re already the best.” He smiles that playful dimpled smile I have been missing and I have always loved.

“I still love you Lindy.”

I can hear the other students beginning to murmur as they were staring at us.

Harry continues, “And I no longer want to date you in secret because I want to tell the entire world that I am in love with you and only you. I am so fucking proud of you and I don’t want to lie anymore about us.”

I shyly bite my inner cheek before asking, "Did you really think that you could just come here unexpectedly, serenade me and use the lads and my own best friend for this suprise and then everything will be fine again between you and me?"

His eyes looks over to the lads who shrugged their shoulders at my best friend who looked guilty before he stares back at me. “Yes?” He sounded doubtful as he looks at me. “I thought it was romantic to..." He stuttered and scratched his head.

I was silent as he shockingly faced the entire crowd, “I was the one who was wrong in this relationship. I was the one who did not fight for it while all these times she was holding onto it for us. I let go and I let her down when I denied her and what I feel for her. And I felt terribly awful when she left my life.”

He exhales heavily before looking back at me, “I’m not afraid anymore Lindy.”

I smile weakly.

“I want to show the whole world the only hand I want to hold onto for the rest of my days. And it’s yours.” He pulled my hand up, showing it to everyone. “There was never a day that I didn’t think about you even after we broke up. I know you miss me too and I believe that we still have one last chance for this to work out.”

My heart was literally beating ridiculously fast inside my chest. “Please, be mine again? I promise I won’t fuck up this time.”

“Forgive and get back with the guy already!” Louis calls out.

I smile shyly as I turn back to Harry who looked determined and serious before my lips widens as I nod at him. He gapes, “Y-You’re forgiving me?” He asks happily.

I nod vigorously, “Yes Harry.” He pulled me close to his chest as he wraps his long arms around my slim body. I hear the students were cheering and the lads were making loud noises too as they tease us. He pulled his head away after hugging me tightly and he smiles over me before he plants a kiss over my forehead.

“I still love you curly.” I say to him with a happy smile on my face as I feel my tears filling my eyelids. My heart was super happy that I cannot explain how it feels right now.

“I love you, now and always.” He hugs me again and it felt nice to be held like this.

I missed him and I don’t want to let go of him ever again.

He faces the crowd and I did too but I was shocked when he said, “Lindsay Suzanne Swanepoel. Enlisted and joined Yale’s Honors’ Program.” He stares at me with love and pride in his eyes as I stand here shyly. “Yale University, taking up Pre-Law.”

I smily at him sheepishly as Louis begins to cheer so loud which was followed by the others who were here. When my moment with Harry finished, he went up on stage and joined the other lads while they began to sing their last song for the night, Steal My Girl which sounded perfect as the girls sang along while I enjoyed the whole night in the audience with Martha.

Avery was pissed the entire time she saw the whole thing and left the venue angrily. She didn’t matter anymore because she had always been so selfish all this time and I am glad that she knows why she can never take Harry from me or any of this. I am glad that she now realizes that I have always been the better twin in terms of academic and attitude.

I danced with Harry in the middle of the dancefloor as we swayed to Will Post’s song which was Wonderlust and I didn’t want to let go of this man standing right in front of me. His hands and arms wrapped my body and I loved how he held me close to his body while we were slow dancing with the other students in here. It felt like time was ours for this night as I dance with him and I can feel as much I love this man and how much he loves me to no end. Smiles creeping on face as we stare at each other intently falling more in love with each other because of the music.

Harry leans over and his lips touched my mouth and how I missed kissing him like this. We kissed in front of the whole school and how it felt amazing to finally show him off as my boyfriend where we can be ourserlves and no more disguises or cover ups. We kissed for a while before we were stopped by a faculty who approached us and gestured the two of us to keep our distance and told us that we were not allowed to kiss to keep the entire event decent.

I laugh with Harry as he plants a kiss over my forehead. Before he looks over to me, “This feels amazing with you.” He tells me.

I nod as I dug myself over his chest and hugged him until the song fades.

The Halloween dance finished and all of us were drained from all the dancing. The lads took a few photos with the other students who asked for it and they were kind enough to stay until the dance was done. I hugged all of the lads who came all the way here to surprise me and to join us for this party. I was happy to see them again and I told them how happy I was when I saw the video they took to congratulate me. Niall said it was all Harry’s idea and had to plead Martha to do it. We complimented each other’s costumes and made fun of each other too.

We all went separate ways after the party on how we will spend the rest of our night since Louis, Zayn and Liam had somewhere else to go to spend the night away. Harry chose to spend the rest of his night more intimately and peacefully with me and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Niall and Martha went somewhere else too and I know she wanted to be with him so bad.

I got on a private car that Harry was driving as we went for drive-thru from McDonalds since we were both starving. We talked in his car the whole time and he told me how his days has been when he was away from me, like how he would usually do. Harry told me about how he managed to made this plan work out wtih the help of Martha. He told me that he saw me when I ws giving a speech and I realized that Martha was not recording me that time, but she was video calling Harry and showing him my speech.

“Don’t steal my best friend from me.” I tell him jokingly.

Harry chuckles under his throat, “Baby your best friend is one of LINRRY’S CEO.”

I burst out in laughter.

“I swear, it could sound like a perfume brand.” He smiles evilly.

As soon as we reached the hotel he was staying, we were then photograped by the paps the moment we stepped out of his car but we no longer cared how they were taking photos of us. I was happy that I get to step out with Harry anad even though I didn’t like the whole paps thing, I had to endure it because he is famous. We held hands together as tight as we could as Harry was securing me away from the paps with his long arm.

“Are you alright?” He asks me as soon as we stepped inside the elevator.

I nod, “I swear to God I will never ever be used to that.”

He smiles and stared at ourselves and how funny we looked. He wore a classic prince costume and it really suited him because of his long luscious curls while I wore a Disney Princess outfit, but we are both holding McDonald’s take-out while he was holding his Beast headpiece. Okay, that’s how you put a modern fairytale.

When we reached his hotel room, we began to eat on his table still with our costume on and we were immensely hungry. I think Harry was hungrier since he ordered two massive burgers, two large fries and two large Coke.

“Didnt you have dinner?” I asked him.

“I did but that was hours ago. I guess all the adrenaline rush and nervousness got me all hungry.”

My brows creasing, “Harry Styles nervous in singing in front of people?”

“I was not nervous of that.” He answers. “I was scared and nervous that things might not work out even after you knew it was me. I mean was thinking that… you were not ready to take me back. But I had to give it a chance because I don’t want any of this if it is not with you Lindy.”

I smile at him shyly, “Why did you think that I was not ready to take you back?”

“Because what I did tremendously hurt you and the entire time we’ve been away from each other, I thought that I had no chance.”

“But you did try.”

He nods, “Because I still love you.”

I smile at him widely, “I am happy that you gave me time for me to heal and grow as a person. It did really help me think about the things I still want in life. I still wanted you even if I was heartbroken but I knew I needed time for myself and you gave that to me.”

“We both needed it, baby.”

“I love you Harry and I will never ever get tired of saying that.”

He takes my hand and kisses my hand like he always does before. “My entire body is inlove with you too and I don’t ever want to let you go anymore.”

My tears escaping my eyes but it wasn’t sad tears, these were happy tears because I can finally be with him without holding back and hiding the whole thing.

When we finished eating, we took a bath together and got off our costumes where we managed to have sex in the bathtub. It was intense, full of emotions and filled with longingness. We kissed as if there was no tomorrow and how we badly missed each other so much.

We laid on top of his bed, naked and tired, as we managed to pull another lusty session on his hotel mattress. I lay my head on top of his chest as I trace my finger over his tattoos. He had the weirdest tattoos that I have ever seen in my entire life and I don’t know what it all meant but for some weird reason, it matched him and his personality.

“Harry?” I pulled my head up to face him as I rest my chin on his chest.

His green eyes staring at me, “Yes babe?”

“If ever we go out this time, no more disguises right?”

“No more.”

“No more sneaking in and out?”

He smiles, “No more.”

“No more secrets?”

“No more. I don’t want to lose you.”

Suddenly Harry climbs over me playfully without any warning as he hovers over me while he pushes his hair to the side, “So tell me, did you entertain other guys while we were away?” He questions while he keeps biting the skin on my neck which makes me scream. “Did you?” He asks again while he keeps tickling me with his mouth.

I shrieked as he laughs while watching over me. “Maybe I did?” I teased.

His mouth drops open, “I am going to punish you.”

I laughed. “And how will you do that?”

He landed his mouth on my neck again and started biting me again gently but it didn’t work. I laughed and shrieked as I push him off me. “Harry I didn’t! I didn’t…” I continued to laugh as he tickles me. “Stop!”

He pulled himself away with a smile on his face, “Did you?”

“I didn’t.” I tell him as I cup his face. “I couldn’t.”

He plants a kiss on my mouth.

“Did you meet other girls?” I asked.

“Yeah.” He answers.

I frown.

He laughs as soon as he saw my face, “I did hang out with a few.”

“Oh.” I answered dryly. “That sounds fun.”

Harry laughs as he lowers his head over my breasts before pulling them up again, “You’re adorable when you’re jealous.”

I rolled my eyes at him, “So these girls you met, who are they?”

“The new members added to the crew and a few who we work with for the movie.” He smiles evily. “I didn’t flirt with any woman baby. I could never replace something as incredible as you.”

“You promise?”

He nods before landing his mouth over my nipples and nibbling them to which causes me to moan over my breath as I watch him how he suck my breasts and enjoying what he is doing.

He pulled his head up to me and smiled adorably, “I promise.” He rests his chin in the middle of my breast as I rake my fingers through his icredibly soft long hair.

“Want another round?” He smirks.

“I would love to.” I smiled evily. “Come here.”

Harry playfull squints his eyes as he moved up to my face, “Hmm, excited aren’t we?”

I giggle before we kiss again.
