Front Row

Chapter 13

HARRY
TW: There is a slight mention of a guy getting too touchy at a bar, so I just want to put that out there.

The driver opened the door for us. I hopped out first and gave her my hand to grab. She stepped out of the car fixing her dress. God, she looked stunning. The black dress accented her skin tone and body so well. She looked so beautiful. Then I realized I never told her. I was too busy being a fucking idiot today, and getting in my own head.

She started to walk as I put my hand on her back to guide her in. She had her hand shading her face from the paps. Once we got in I stopped her and turned her around. I leaned down to her ear and whispered. "You look absolutely stunning." I said in an airy breath. I saw her face redden as her eyes met mine.

"Thank you. You look great too." She smiled. I was wearing a black button up, with half the buttons open. A standard look for me. I smiled anyway.

"Thanks love. Let's go find the others and then we can get a drink." She nodded in agreement as we made our way to find the others. I noticed Lou taking shots and started to laugh. We walked over and once they noticed our presence they cheered.

"You made it!" Liam said. "We thought you guys weren't coming for a second."

"Nah mate we were just talking." I said. "This is Liam and Lou's girlfriends." I introduced them to each other. They talked for a little before I bud in. "Do you want to grab a drink?" I asked Sage.

"Sure" She said standing up. I put my hand on her back as we walked to the bar. "I'll have rum and coke please and two shots of vodka." She surprised me with her drink order.

"I'll have four shots please." I said while turning to look at her. The bartender put our drinks down. She picked up a shot and so did I. I raised mine and looked at her. "Cheers!" I clink our glasses together before downing the liquid. I shook my head and she just smiled. "Okay so I don't know about you, but I plan on getting super shit-faced tonight." She let out the cutest airy laugh.

"Fuck it. Let's do it." She agreed. Right as I was about to say something Niall and Lana walked in over. He had his arm around her waist keeping her quite close to him. "Hey! Where were you guys?" She questioned. Lana sat down and Niall squeezed my shoulders.

"We stayed in the car talking for a little before coming in. We wanted to let the paps chill out before coming in." Niall said as Lana took a sip of Sage's drink.

"Yeah the paps were bad tonight." I agreed as I downed another shot. "Lets go dance." I suggested to the group. Sage shook her head.

"Fuck no. I'm not dancing in public at a bar filled with celebrities." I pulled her up from the chair. "Harry seriously." She gave me a warning tone.

"Oh hush. Look, everyone else is dancing it's fine. Lana? Niall? You in?" I asked and they both nodded and stood up. "C'mon." She quickly downed the rest of her and my shot. "Okay then. Now you're really gonna have a good time." We all walked to the middle of the floor and started moving. The alcohol was rubbing off on her. She loosened up and started to let go.

*PLAY SONG NOW*

"OH MY GOD! I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!" She yelled over the loud noise. I laughed as she threw her arm around my neck and swayed. "I'm on the pursuit of happiness, I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold." We swayed back and forth as she sung the lyrics. She had the biggest smile on her face. She looked free. The song ended and a familiar song came on. "HOLY SHIT LANA THIS IS OUR SONG!" she cheered as she let go of me and grabbed Lana away from Niall who looked at me confused. He came and stood by me as we watched this all unfold. Dancing queen by ABBA came on as the two girls hugged each other and danced. "Friday night and the lights are lowwww. Looking out for a place to gooooo." Lana sang. Both just having a great time.

"Someone got a little tipsy." The rest of the group came next to us. The girls noticed and pulled us all in.

"Come on let's all dance." Sage said. We now all were jumping and swaying in one big group. This was turning out to be a pretty great night. The song ended and everyone chilled out and sat down. "I'm gonna grab a drink. Does anyone want anything?" She asked as she stood up.

"Uh can you get me another shot?" Liam asked and Lou piped in asking for the same. She walked away to the bar. Her body swayed in a perfect way.

"Stop staring man." Lou nudged my arm. I looked back and laughed. "You like her right?" he asked.

"I-I mean i just met her but, yeah she's fun to be around. She's pretty, and smart. She understands the paps and fame." I told him and he shook his head and laughed.

"Have you asked her out?" He questioned. I shook my head. "Then man the fuck up and do it."

"I-" I started but looked up due to a noise. I saw Sage pushing a guy off her. She looked nervous as he became way too touchy and she continued to say no. I jumped out of my seat as Lou asked what. "Sage." I pointed. He took notice and grabbed Liam and Niall. I quickly ran over Lana following, as he was grabbing her. "Get the fuck away man." I fisted his shirt. Liam moved Sage behind us.

"Get the fuck off me. I'm talking to her." he spat. I tighten my grip.

"No you aren't buddy, she said no." I spat right back, my blood now boiling. "That's called assault motherfucker." He put his hands up once the realization hit him. "Stay the fuck away. No means no." I dropped my grip on him and quickly walked out of the club. I turned around to see Sage pretty shaken up. "Hey, hey are you okay?" I asked her, sitting her  down. She was rubbing her hands on her thighs.

"Uh yeah. Just hate drunk guys." She said.

"I know. I'm so sorry. I should have come up there with you." She shook her head.

"No, it's okay. I'm okay. I just didn't like what he was doing." She said and I nodded. "Thank you. For doing that."

"Please, I wanted to fucking hit him but I don't think that would have been a good idea. You're my friend, I got you.Do you need anything?" I asked her.

"Let's just go back to the table." She stood up as we walked to sit with the rest of the group. "Thanks guys for that." She thanked the boys and they nodded.

"Love, don't mention it. Are you okay?" Liam asked, while Lana pulled Sage next to her.

"Yeah. What time is it?" She asked, Niall pulled out his phone.

"It is 2:13am," He said.

"Holy fuck. I should probably go home. Lana, you can stay, but I think i'm gonna go." she said which made me frown.

"I think I'll head home too. I can call us a car and drop you off. Boys are you guys staying?" I asked and they nodded. "Okay so I'll call a car." She smiled.

"That would be great." She stood up. "Lana, are you gonna stay?" She asked her friend and Lana nodded. "Okay well be safe, I love you. Text me when you are home." She hugged her. "Thank you guys I had a great time. It was lovely meeting you two." She hugged Liam and Lou's girlfriend. Everyone said their goodbyes and we walked outside. There weren't any paps left which was a good sign. The car pulled up and I opened the door for her. "I had a really great time tonight. I hope I see you again." She mumbled clearly tired as we drove off.

"I will see you again. I like you too much to let you go that quickly." I joked, she let out a small laugh before yawning. I patted to my shoulder and she laid her head down. I was so content with being right here, at this moment. This felt right. She felt right.
