Chapter 18, as promised :] xx
Natalie's PoV"The one thing I hate about these kind of events is having to wear heels." Eleanor pulled a face, looking down at her shoes. "I already feel blisters coming on."
I gave her a small smile, and pulled up the skirt of my dress slightly, revealing my black converse. "No one will notice anyway!" She and Pierre laughed.
"I need to remember that for next time." Perrie giggled.
"So are you enjoying yourselves?" Louis butted into our little circle, his arm snaking around Eleanor's waist.
"I feel awkward." I said blatantly, and Louis nodded.
"At my first event I felt weird too. Too many people." He turned to Eleanor. "Want to dance, love? We don't have to perform for another half hour." Eleanor smiled, and took Louis extended elbow.
“I’m going to go find Zayn, I have no idea where he’s disappeared to.” Perrie waved to me, and walked away, leaving me standing alone.
A familiar tune began to play, and I swayed back and forth to the music.
"Settle down with me, and cover me up, cuddle me in." I hummed along to Ed Sheeran’s beautiful voice.
A hand brushed my cheek, and I turned to see Harry standing to my right. He smiled and bowed, offering me his hand. I curtsied like a lady, giggling, and took his hand. He led me to the dance floor. My hands rested on his shoulders, his on my hips. We swayed slightly to the music, dancing a simple box step. I smiled up at him, and he brushed his thumb against my cheek.
"Are you enjoying yourself so far?" He asked me.
I nodded. "A bit weird, seeing all these celebrities."
"Yeah. I guess you'll get used to it after a couple events."
"Are you saying I'm being invited again?" I winked at him.
"Of course, why wouldn't I invite you?"
"Well, because secretly I'm..." I looked around me, and then leaned closer to him and whispered, "Secretly I'm a unicorn."
"Ah, it all makes sense now!" He nodded knowingly.
"So I bet you’re happy to go back on tour." I said, biting my lip. I wasn't ready for Harry to leave.
"I would be happier if my unicorn was there with me." He gave me a small smile, and I noticed the glitter of my ring on his shoulder. Now and forever...
"So kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved." Harry sang along to the song, twirling me around once. I spun, my dress flaring around my ankles, and gracefully spun back into Harry's arms. We rocked to the music, Harry still singing. "This feels like falling in love, falling in love, we're falling in love." He leaned down, and softly pressed his lips against mine. The crowd clapped for Ed, and I reluctantly drew away from Harry, not wanting to cause a scene. Ed nodded his head and waved to the audience before heading off the platform. Another band came up on stage, and began to play another slow song. Harry and I slow danced, taking turns asking each other random questions.
"Okay, if you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?" Harry asked me.
"I've always wanted to go to Disneyworld in Orlando. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?"
"Right here in London." He answered.
"Agreed. I love it here! Would you want to live in the very heart of the city or the outskirts?"
