WILD THING

♡ | MARINA & AND THE DIAMONDS | ♡ CHAPTER 12

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City 

Never was there ever a girl so pretty 

Do you think we'll be in love forever? 

Do you think we'll be in love?'

My tour started off well. Everything was in order and the shows were fun. The most important thing was putting on a good show for my Diamonds.

Harry and I have been talking non-stop. Skype, texting, emailing or calling on the phone.  

I haven't left him alone for a minute.  

I missed him a lot.

I longed to be near him and kiss him.  

Good news is that Harry agreed to meet up somewhere along the tour.  

It was a very vague proposal but, equally heart-warming.

I just left JFK and I was headed off to Lana's house in New York.  

The darling girl is letting me stay with her.  

My show wasn't until tomorrow night and my manager agreed to give me 3 days in New York so, I could gallivant all I wanted.

Lana's house was a dream.  

It made me want to move to New York just to find an equally fab home.

Our plans for tonight was to go out and get pissed drunk but, Lana had a performance she had to attend on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and she insisted I tag along.

We were in the car driving off to the NBC studios, and Lana and I were in a deep conversation when my phone vibrated.  

I pulled it out and found 1 new message from Harry.  

It read:

" Marina,  

What are you up to? Are we still on for our skype date this evening? 

I love you. xx"

I loved Harry's sweet side. But, I felt guilty that I had to abandon him this one night. I wanted to skype with him and see his glorious face and they way his dimples indented when he laughed. The way he'd cover his mouth with his hand if he laughed too loudly.

I fired back rapidly :  

" My loving Harry,  

It breaks my heart to reject you but, I'm going out with Lana this evening. 

We can have a late-night skype date, if its not too much of a hassle.  

I would rather be on skype with you and looking at your beautiful face but, I must attend to my friend whom I haven't seen.  

I'll be thinking of you, always."

Writing that text was hard. I felt tremendously guilty ditching Harry. I prayed he didn't hate me.

I was brought back to reality when Lana put her hand onto my shoulder.  

Oh Gosh. 

I must have been ignoring her this whole time.  

" Sorry! I wasn't paying attention. That was incredibly rude!" I burst out.

" It's fine, sweetie. The only person who can distract you that bad must be Harry." She stated.
