They met each other on a trip and found an instant connection.
Sparks flew with every touch and they fell together with every glance.
But what happens when its time to wake up from the perfect dream?
(A/N: Pearl and Shea's outfits above. Pearl in black, Shea in red)
We were standing in the very front row, within touching distance from the stage. The crowd around us was going crazy and Aiden and his band hadn't even arrived. Me and Shea were all decked up in cute outfits that she'd chosen for us.
"I can't believe this is finally happening!!" Shea yelled in my ear.
I nodded, while my heart kept beating out of my chest. It was only a matter of moments before I'll get to see him again.
Suddenly an announcer ran out into the stage greeting the audience.
"Are you ready for Aiden New York!!?" He screamed into the mic, causing the crowd to go crazy, collectively screaming "Yes".
"Well turns out he's ready four you too! Give it up for the super talented Aiden Wood everybody!!"
My whole body froze as he stepped onto the stage. Its like the whole crowd around me had vanished. The deafening screams barely even registered in my head.
All I could focus on was that sweet smile and ocean blue eyes that I had once fallen for. I'd seen his recent photographs obviously but they did not do him any justice. He had aged like fine wine. He was built even bigger and was sporting a scruffy beard that made him look so ruggedly handsome.
My Aiden...
The announcer left the mic to Aiden and ran off the stage.
"How's it going New York?" He asked in his gravelly voice.
The crowd went crazy, including Shea who kept screaming right into my ears.
"Let's get this started then huh?" He asked, motioning his band to start.
The sweet melody of one of his songs echoed as the musicians started the intro.
(A/N: The song he's singing above)
After the guitar intro ended and he sang the first note, the crowd screamed even louder if that was possible.
It was a huge stage and he was standing in the centre of it. Me and Shea were a bit away from the centre, thus being away from his line of sight.
Everyone screamed out their love randomly at him while I just stood still, watching him sing with closed eyes.
In the middle of the second song, as if waking up from the bubble he was in, he started moving around the stage.
"Oh my God he's coming here!" Shea yelled, jumping beside me.
My heart beat faster as he walked towards us, high fiving the fans on his way. I smiled and outstretched my hand too, craving those sparks yet again.
I looked up, right as his hand touched mine, only to make eye contact with him. I didn't think he'd react as he did on seeing me.
He stopped singing entirely while the musicians kept playing. He froze in his steps with wide eyes. I realised his hand was still holding mine and blushed.
Suddenly the whole attention on us was making me a bit uncomfortable while Aiden looked like he had forgotten where he was entirely.
His guitarist nudged him to get him out of his reverie, but it was useless.
"Go!" I mouthed to him, hoping he'd listen.
Instead he dropped his mic and jumped from the stage landing right in front of me. My eyes widened and before I could react he cupped my face with his hands and attached his lips to mine.
Suddenly, nothing else mattered.
Everyone in the audience gasped while some "aww'd", but Aiden kept moving his lips against mine, making my knees go weak.
What seemed like minutes later, he stopped, pulling back reluctantly. I opened my eyes, to see his ocean blue eyes gaze into mine.
There was pretty much pin drop silence all around us, while Shea stood beside me, with her mouth hanging open.
"You're here..." he whispered.
"I am..." I replied.
"Aiden bro!" his guitarist called behind him.
He looked back and nodded at him before turning to me.
"Go finish the concert rockstar..." I said, kissing his cheek.
He smirked which made me all sorts of nervous. He climbed the stage easily and turned to look at me. Without warning he picked me up like I weighed nothing and put me on the stage beside him.
My heart beat fast as I looked at the crowd facing us. I tried my best to hide my face behind my hair, hoping everyone would just disappear. Everyone except him ofcourse.
"Guys I'd like you to meet the love of my life, Pearl..." He spoke into the mic, addressing the audience.
His confession made me go even more red if possible. A myriad of expressions went through the audience as everyone gasped, aww'd and screamed.
"Let me tell you our story then," he spoke, making the crowd encourage him.
I groaned in embarrasment, making him chuckle and kiss my head. I looked at Shea who stood frozen in her spot with her eyes and mouth wide open.
"5 years ago I met this amazing girl on a trip and we clicked instantly. It took me only 7 days to fall for her. We lived halfway across the world from each other so our story had to end there," by now he was looking straight at me.
"Now imagine my surprise, when I see her standing in the front row, only inches away from me..." he said, making me smile shyly.
He faced the crowd again and said, "Every love song I've written has been about her, she never left my thoughts and I can't believe that I found her again..."
Everyone in the audience cheered for us at his story. He looked back down at me, making me lose my breath.
"Wait for me till I finish my concert... please," he pleaded.
"Ofcourse..." I whispered.
He lead me towards the entrance of the stage where his manager was standing. He told him to take care of me till he got done with the concert.
With one last peck to my lips he ran back to the stage.
I watched him work his magic from behind the curtain for the next few hours. Every once in a while he'd glance at me while singing and smile, making my heart flutter.
A million worries ran through my head about what was gonna happen next. But I couldn't believe that fate had managed to bring us together again. As he smiled at me yet again, walking off the stage and towards me, I thought that whatever happens, it was gonna be okay. We were gonna be okay.
