Chapter 27

HARRY’S POV

I was so happy she had come back, when I saw her here today it made my day. Having her around always gives me the butterflies. When I returned back to the hotel last night I was worried that she would change her mind about the tour and the kiss. But seeing her today made me so happy knowing she was going to come back on tour and also well...us two being together could be a possible thing. She was going to be so much happier with all of us and everyone else and I will be happy to see her every day with that gorgeous smile.

The pair of us hurried to find Diane, slightly out of breath from the kiss we had just shared. This was our third kiss, and having her kiss me back today reassured me that yesterday wasn’t just a one off thing, we could actually be something. Did we already have something? But to be honest, I didn’t care. All I knew was that her lips were heavenly, they made me melt at the slightest touch, and I loved it.

“Harold! Get over here” Diane’s voice broke my thoughts and I turned to see her absolutely fuming.

“I’m here now” I shot her my best puppy eyes, knowing she wouldn’t be able to stay mad at me for long.

“You have to stick to the schedule Harry. Come on, in the chair now” She rolled her eyes, a smile on her face. The puppy eyes had definitely worked.

I hopped in the chair and waited for Diane to start.

“Oh yes darling, you can help me out of you want. I think it’s just Harry and Zayn left to do. Karen’s over in the other room with him now” Diane informed her.

“I might go see what Karen’s doing if that’s okay” She answered.

I instantly turned to look at her. Her eyes met mine before she quickly looked back down at the ground and shuffled her feet. Why would she not want to stay here with me? What was going on? We just kissed, was it too soon?

“Yeah sure go for it. I’ll see you later sweetie” Diane smiled at her.

She quickly exited the room, avoiding me completely.

TASH’S POV

I entered the next dressing room to see find Zayn perched on the couch, talking to someone on the phone, he waved at me then carried on with his conversation. Karen had set up all of Zayn’s products and was waiting for him to finish. She noticed me and her eyes lit up.

“I’ve just had the best idea!” I waited for her to continue, “How about you take care of Zayn today? He already has flawless skin so it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge?”

I stared at her as if she was crazy. There was no way I was ready for this. I couldn’t possibly take on this challenge, I still had so much to learn from Aunt Karen. From what I had heard, applying makeup on a guy was a lot different than doing it for a girl. I had learnt most of techniques Karen used when she applied makeup on the boys previously but I hadn’t really done anything. I didn’t want to disappoint Karen and make Zayn look horrible.

“Come on. You can do it Natasha” She urged. She looked so hopeful and I didn’t want to let her down so I agreed.

Zayn eventually hung up the phone and sat down on the chair, ready for me to work on him. Just as I was about to start Karen spoke up.

“I’m just going to head out for a bit. I’ll be back in a bit”

Before I could protest she grabbed her bag and left the room. I looked down at Zayn and could feel the panic rise inside of me, which I think he could feel from me.

“Don’t worry. I bet you’re a natural” He gave me a warm smile.

I picked up the first product, trying to think of what my Aunt would do. I squeezed the creamy base liquid onto the back of my hand and grabbed a brush. Zayn wasn’t the biggest talker out of the boys, which worked for me as I was in no mood to talk to anyone. Why was I so confused about Harry? But who could blame me, it’s a natural defence mechanism especially after what happened with Romeo, I don’t think I could bear getting hurt or used again from another guy.

As I applied the product onto his face all I could think about was Harry. He hadn’t even talked to me at all. As soon as he saw me all he wanted was to kiss me. Anyone else would be thrilled about that but not me. I didn’t want to fall into the trap. 

Harry had seemed so truthful and real yesterday. It was like I finally got to know what was going on inside his head. But now he was treating me like this, and the worst part was that I had no idea what was happening between us, was I just a tour fling, or friends with benefit or did we actually have something. There was definitely something happening on my side because every time he kissed me all I wanted to do was kiss him back and wrap my fingers around his curly brown locks.

“Tash, I don’t mean to interrupt, but are you sure you’re doing this right?” Zayn’s voice brought me back to reality.

I looked at his face to see what he was talking about. He looked back up at me with a pale yellow face that didn’t match his caramel coloured skin in the slightest. Shit I did exactly what I was terrified to do, ruin everything. Lucky Karen wasn’t in the room, I really didn’t want to disappoint her, I was already slacking, as I was coming in late and took time off because on my relationship problems. I didn’t her to think I wasn’t appreciative towards the opportunity she gave me.

“Oh no! Zayn I’m so sorry!” I apologised.

He just laughed it off as I grabbed the wipes and helped him to remove the product.

“Haha! Honestly its fine, just thank the lord we realised before I left this room! That would have been a nightmare!”

“Honestly I’m so sorry, I really out of it today. I promise I will make you... well more you.” I looked down, overflowing with embarrassment.

“Honestly don’t worry, and clearly you’re out of it. Buts what’s wrong, is it Harry?”

How did he even know I was thinking about Harry?

“What...erm”

“Come on Tash, you can’t lie to me. And well I kind of saw you and Harry slip into the storage room.”

Who was this dude?

“Oh wow, yeah I guess you heard about last night then?”

“Yes, well Mr Hazza didn’t tell me himself, but it was all over his face. What sealed the deal was the lipstick on his lips when he walked in into mine and Louis room.” He looked up at me laughing.

“Haha! No way! But Zayn we kissed again today and it felt different. Maybe I’m over thinking it but I don’t want to be used or hurt again. And honestly I certainly don’t like kissing random guys who aren’t my boyfriend and I don’t what we are. I’m just scared of...”

“Hey girl you don’t have to explain yourself, you been through a lot in the past few weeks. You can’t blame yourself for protecting yourself from being hurt. Don’t be stupid! All I know is that Harry won’t kiss a girl if he doesn’t genuinely like them. And he has liked you for a long time. But I think you guys should talk about what you guys actually are to each other before it gets confusing, maybe after the show though.”

“Thank you Zayn, you don’t know how much I needed someone to tell this too, it was driving me insane. I kind of messed up your makeup though”

“You’re welcome and yes girl hurry up before Karen comes back, everything will be fine.” He gave a sweet smile. Speaking to Zayn gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do, which was talk to Harry after the show, before we kiss again. I don’t want to dig up my own hole.

HARRY’S POV

I joined the boys behind the stage; we were due to go on the minute Phoebe was done. I noticed Tash heading to the box seats with a few of the others. She saw me staring then quickly looked away.

“Tash aren’t you gonna wish me luck?” I shouted as she continued walking. She gave me one more look before continuing down to the seats. Why was she acting like this?

I ran my hand through my hair, trying to think of anything I had done. This was second time she had avoided me today.

“Dude you should probably talk to her after the show” Zayn said from behind me.

“Why? What’s wrong with her?”

 “Just go talk to her” He patted me on the back before the DJ announced us and we ran onto stage, welcomed by a wave of cheers and screams.
