"desperate times call for desperate measures" which was what harry lewis repeated in his head when he had to ask his nieces dance teacher to be in a sidemen video. however that one awkward encounter may have lead to a lifetime of happiness.
started...
the drive home was silent except for tyler the creator playing quietly in the background. harry's hand rested softly on my thigh. "would you like me to take you home or would you like to come to mine?" he asked, "can you take me home please?" i replied, my voice no louder than a whisper. "of course" he said. it was only a short drive back but it felt like hours, i just wanted to be at home, where i felt safe. when we got to my flat, i invited harry inside which he happily accepted. we got inside and went to the bathroom. i started cleaning the blood off my nose and upper lip. "hey, stop, let me do that" he said and lifted me up on to the bathroom side.
he took the cotton pad out of my hands and softly starting brushing at the blood that had dried up underneath my nose. after about five minutes he had finished cleaning up me up and put the cotton pad down on the side. i wrapped my arms around him and whispered into his ear, "thank you lewis" which caused him to smile slightly. i hopped down from the side and went and sat on the sofa, grabbing one of the throw cushions and hugging it tight to my chest. "i feel as though i owe you an explanation" i admitted. "i'm always here to listen but you don't owe me anything, don't do this if you don't want to" he told me, "i really do appreciate that but i have to."
i took a deep breath, preparing myself for what i was about to do, but i knew i needed to do it. "about two years ago, i had just left my mums house for good, i had £11 in my pocket, a suitcase in my hand and nowhere to go. i was crying on a park bench when this guy came up to me, he comforted me and offered me a place to stay for a week or two. i was freshly 20 and extremely naive so i took him up on his offer. he such a gentleman for the first few weeks, taking me on dates, making sure i had everything i needed until i tried to get a job and start doing things for myself again. things turned sour almost immediately as he knew he didn't have that power over me anymore. he would hit me, tell me i wasn't good enough and even make me do things i really didn't want to do. i had no way out. i stopped talking to my dad and faith, i removed myself from everyone until one day, when milo was at work my dad came and took me away. i didn't even realise how bad things were until my dad made me sit down with him, my step-mum and faith."
he grabbed my hand as tears began to fall, "you're the first person i've told that story to in a year and a half. i feel really safe with you harry" i admitted, "yeah me too, lots" he replied. you know what fuck it, i thought. "actually, i really like you" i told him and the smile on his face almost doubled in size. "i really like you too" he replied, "kiss me" i told him and faster than you could say kiss he closed the gap between our lips. i giggled into the kiss as he rolled us over so he layed on top of me. we pulled apart and the smile on my face was huge, "be my girlfriend?" he asked, "i thought you'd never ask" i replied and closed the gap again.
i woke up the next day, led next to harry, with a smile on my face almost immediately. i placed my head lightly on his chest and closed my eyes again. not even a minute later, i felt a kiss on the crown of my head, my smile doubling in size. "morning lewis" i said, sitting up and turning around so i could face him. "morning blue" he said, sitting up aswell and kissing me softly. "thank you for last night, i really do appreciate it." i told him, "of course" he replied, "anything for my girlfriend" he added making me giggle. "hey, i'm going to the studio today to begin choreographing some of the pieces for the performance we have coming up, why don't you come with me?" i suggested, "why not?" he repiled so i got up, made us both a tea and got changed before we left to go to my studio.
we decided fuck it and hard launch our relationship as the first video on harry's own youtube channel in a few months and make our trip to the studio even more fun. i have a about 10k followers on tiktok due to my dance teacher content so i'm not extremely well known but also not new to the public eye. we weren't going to tell anybody until the video was posted, it might be a bit soon but i really think i'm falling for harry and i just want to show people how much i like him. the video was going to be, "my GIRLFRIEND teaches me how to dance..."
when we got to the studio, i connected my phone to the bluetooth speakers and turned everything on whilst harry set up his camera. "HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm back for another video and today i am joined by my girlfriend lottie who is going to attempt to teach me how to dance!" he said and i waved at the camera and smiled, "lottie is a dance teacher, so hopefully she'll be able to help me pick up a few moves" he added as i stood up and giggled, "come on then lewis, let's get this show on the road" i said, holding my hands out and helping him stand up.
"okay" i began as we stood in front of the mirrors, "this is one of the pieces for my juniors, so not the hardest but not the easiest either" i told him, "the first step is, you have your arms crossed, then you bring them up vertical in front of your face with your hands in fists." i say whilst showing him the move, "from there, one arm at a time, you turn it horizontal, pull it out and drop it down so its by your side." i finsh, "so let's try, ready? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." i count whilst doing each move. "you did really well! well done lewis!" i said and we continued with the dance. 30 minutes later i had the dance choreographed and down, harry tried his best bless him. he edited the video the same day and posted it that night, so i decided to make a post on instagram to announce our relationship to my family and friends who might not watch harry.
