Marigold and Daisies (H.S.)

Thirty Six

Marigold's POV

Harry's House
One Night Only, New York

"Thank you, New York! You have been so amazing tonight." Harry said into the mic, blowing kisses to each direction of the arena. The crowd was absolutely phenomenal. The album has been out for all of two days and the crowd sang along to every new song.

"We're going to go off the stage now. You're going to cheer. We're going to let you cheer, then we'll come back on and sing a few more songs. It'll be good. It'll be fun. If you haven't been dancing yet, it's okay. You'll have another chance! Please dance with us!" Harry smiled at the crowd.

Daisy stood on the chair beside me. Anne on the other side of her, we stood in the family and friend section of the arena. Daisy absolutely loved everything that was happening. Of course, she didn't really know any of the songs from the new album besides As It Was but she was having the time of her life. Daisy somehow convinced Harry to sing Carolina, she was not the only one that went absolutely mental during that song.

Harry's head security guard approached our row, whispering something to Anne's ear and gesturing us to follow him.

"Harry wants us to go backstage." She whisper-shouted in my ear. I nodded my head and scooped up Daisy in my arms. People smiled and waved at us as we walked past the sections. It was rather welcoming and I appreciated the fans for respecting us throughout the night and more importantly whenever they approached us or called our names.

The band was still backstage by the time the three of us managed to get there. They were just about to get back on. Harry saw us and held his finger up to the stage manager, letting them know to wait a few more minutes.

He was sweaty, really sweaty. Beads of sweat rolled down his temples and I bit back my bottom. There's something about the way he looks right now that had me weak in the knees.

"Harry!!" Daisy sprinted to him once her feet touched the ground. She didn't mind that he was practically soaking in his sweat.

"Hey, baby love. You having fun?" He squeezed her tight in his arms.

"I am! You sing Lina!" She stated matter of factly.

Harry nodded, kissing her forehead. "Just for you, baby." Which is true, several times throughout the song he'd point to our section and look in our direction to make sure that Daisy was having fun and shooting me a wink whenever he sang the chorus. Needless to say, I avoided eye contact with Anne throughout the entire song.

"Hey, you." He smiled at me, wrapping an arm around me and giving me a kiss. "So I've got.. An idea to run by you." Harry bit his lip slightly.

"And what might that be?" I hummed.

"You think Daisy can come out at the end to do the intro As It Was?" Harry pleaded with his eyes. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You already sang As It Was." I pointed out.

"Yes.. But We were thinking we'd do it one more time at the end for an encore. This crowd is just... amazing." He grinned. "Thought it would be cute to have Daisy say her line into the mic herself. Of course, only if you're both okay with it." Harry said.

I glanced at Daisy, biting my lip. "Do you want to go on stage later?" I asked her. "You think you'd have fun on stage with Harry for As It Was?"

Daisy understood her role in the song and that millions of people listen to her voice daily. Daisy was never one to get stage fright, she loved attention from anyone that would give it to her. I knew that she wouldn't have a problem being up there with Harry, but was I ready for that?
