Chapter 28

HARRY’S POV

“Good night beautiful people! And thank you!” Liam gave the crowd one last wave before we left the stage, blood pumping and energy buzzing.

“That was amazing guys!” Niall gave me a light punch on the shoulder. The others started talking about the show but all I could think about was Tash. What had she said to Zayn? I needed to talk to her, I don’t want to screw this up. This is one of the best things that have happened to me for the first time in ages.

We headed to the lounge area for a break before the VIP fans arrived backstage. I sunk down in one of the large grey beanbags and could feel myself drifting to sleep. I hadn’t slept properly for a good nine hours straight since the tour started. As soon as we got back to the hotel it would be two in the morning and then we had to get up at 6:30. So I could say without any doubt I was exhausted. But being an artist had it privileges I loved the fact that I could sing for living and meet fans and amazing inspiring people.

“You’re crazy Phoebs” I jumped up at the sound of Tash’s voice from down the corridor; I could recognise her voice from anywhere, every tone of her voice was perfect, the soft gentle sweet tone to even her angry tone. I loved it, and it always put a smile on my face.

“You better go talk to her now” Zayn said, flipping through the channels on the TV. I sighed and gave him a nod as I knew he was right, before making my way through the corridor.

I found her at the snacks table, her back to me and her wavy silky blonde hair falling down her back. I honestly don’t know why she’s acting all strange, she seemed fine to me yesterday but all of a sudden she was acting strange today. I didn’t know what to think but I hoped so badly that she didn’t change her mind on us, because I actually don’t know what I would do if she did.

“Tash, can I talk to you” I grabbed her arm turning her to face me.

She looked up at me and her face was unreadable. My eyes narrowed as I tried to think about what was going on in her head. She must have noticed because she quickly gave me a bright smile before opening her mouth to talk.

“You were amazing up there, as usual.”

Something about her expression seemed forced, but I chose not to read too much into it. At least she was actually talking now. I leaned into kiss her as a thank you but she turned her head before I could even get close to her and looked down at the floor uncomfortably. Something was definitely up.

“Is something wrong? It’s just that you’ve been acting really weird today, are changing mind about this?” I questioned her.

She sighed and finally let our eyes meet, “Was yesterday real?”

“What do you mean?” What was she talking about? Was what real?

“Yesterday when you told me you had feelings for me. Was that real or was it just to get me to come back?”

I stood quietly for a couple of seconds. How could she think that? Yesterday was the most alive I had ever felt in years. The truth was I was falling for this girl, and I was falling hard. I was never one to develop feelings for someone so quickly but this girl was something different. Hearing her name sent chills down my spine and even the slightest glance from her drove me crazy. Why did she think that this wasn’t real? Everything was real about yesterday. My feelings were real the moment I set my eyes on her the very first time, and don’t get me started on the kiss we shared. Every time I thought about our first kiss, it gave me goose bumps. Everything was real from the very first time I met her till now.

TASH’S POV

Harrys gaze turned glossy and I could tell he was thinking about last night. The longer he stayed silent the more I started to regret this.

“Harry?” I urged him for a response as I was getting worried that I may have caught him out and all the feelings were just lies to get me back on the tour.  Even though I was praying and wanted him to say everything was real and I was just over thinking everything and it was just my subconscious taking over my actual feeling towards him.

He looked back down at me before opening his mouth, “You can’t seriously be thinking that Natasha. Everything I told you yesterday was the complete truth.”

“Then why do I get the feeling that this is just a stupid game to you?”

“Why would you think that?” His eyes were wild and his voice rose slightly.

“I don’t know Harry. It’s just a bit confusing that’s all. I guess I just want to know where this is going before I get my hopes up only to be let down” I confessed.

He studied me for a bit then took my hands into his, a frown covering his beautiful face.

“I would never let you down. This whole thing is a bit confusing for me too but I won’t be like him. I mean it Tash, I care about you, everything’s real, just trust and believe me. Please Tash”

I opened my mouth to question him further but he put a finger up to my lips.

“You and I are going on a date tomorrow. Then you will see how serious I am about this about us. And I’m not just doing this to make you come back on tour. I wouldn’t do that, you mean so much more to me than just a makeup artist. I thought you knew that. Now, I have a meet and greet to get to but I shall be texting you the details about this date of our tomorrow.” He smirked then turned away from me before I could even respond. He began to skip down the corridor as I watched in complete laughter. This man was absolutely undeniably crazy.
