Love in the Spotlight

Ch.12: Astrid

"I bet you that Heather and Hannah have something to do with this," I said as I looked around the suite that Carly booked. There is a bathroom with a bathtub and hairdryer. The living room contains a couch big enough For two people only to sit on and
two armchairs. The bedroom had a beautiful vanity, a wardrobe with a safe inside it and
King-sized bed. There should be no problem for two people to share a room. However, in our case, it might be awkward for us to share. Keep in mind that we have known each other for two weeks. Sure we might be friends, but still it feels a little weird. "I would offer to sleep on the floor but I would love to finish this tour with no back injuries. And there is no way I would let you sleep on the floor" he said, his hands pacing through his hair. "The bed is large, if we each took a side it would be fine" I Suggest. "Fine by me" I nod. "Then we agree"

"Do you think we will find another room tomorrow?" Later after we both settled in I ask. Henry is wearing gray sweatpants with a Black Compression Shirt. It shows every muscle in his scrawny body. his arms are flexing showing his strength as he dries his aumber hair.

Henry Haddock is hot no question about that. However, his figure gives you the illusion of being scrawny making you think that he doesn't have muscles especially since he likes to wear baggy shirts and hoodies most of the time. But fuck. Anyone who said that this man is scrawny is now in hell for lying cause this man is packing. the hours he spends practicing the dance choreography to perfection shows along with his daily runs and trips to the Gym. And fuck if this sight right there is not bad for my sanity

From our time together I learned that Henry Haddock cannot spend time not doing something. doesn't matter if it is drawing, Dancing, or working on a song he is always doing something. He is the perfect example of the hot herd aesthetic. Heck, he practically owns the whole look.

"Not really. most hotels will be sold out cause of the concert." He sighs as he sits on the bed. "Don't worry I don't move a lot when sleeping" I Chuckled "That's a relief to know" he chuckled. we both get in bed to try and sleep. true to his words Henry did not move not even once during the hour I had spent tossing and turning around trying to find a comfy sleeping position. aware of the man next to me I got an idea which my mind was quick to remind me that it was a bad idea.

What if you cuddled him? We will move before he woke up my heart suggested.

That is a bad idea what if he thought we were creeps my mind disagreed.

Having enough of my mind and heart arguing I found myself moving till I could feel his body next to me slowly I put my head on his chest near his heart. If he was awake he did not give me any reaction besides his heartbeat going faster. Soon exhaustion took over me as my nerves calmed down. I could feel his arms wrap around my body pulling me into his chest and making sure I didn't go anywhere. I fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat just as Im about to fall asleep I felt him kiss my head while muttering "Goodnight M'lady. Sweet dreams" and with that, I fell into a peaceful sleep.

next morning when I woke up, I found myself cuddling into a very warm and comfy chest. two arms are wrapped around my waist holding me tight. bird sounds could be heard from the windows along with traffic in the morning. the sunlight coming through the windows tying a ribbon on this slow morning. I let a happy sigh come out of me. then this moment reality hit me in the face.

I was snuggling with Henry. we are in Vegas for his show. we two are cuddling while being in Vegas. if we had been drinking yesterday I would have been worried that we could have gotten married. no offense but Vegas has its reputation and having one bed trope and accidental marriage trope would make Heather laugh while Hannah starts writing our story. I would not put it past them to have planned it, to be honest.

I could feel Henry stir next to me as he woke up. closing my eyes I decided to act like I was still sleeping. "well good morning M'lady" he said, a storm of butterflies went off into my stomach just hearing his morning voice paired up with the nickname. "oh you still sleeping mhm" my heart rate start to raise. I could feel his hand on the side of my head playing with my hair. "you look so cute while asleep." Henry left a kiss on my forehead then got up. I could hear the bathroom door being closed moments before the shower started. I let out a sigh as I 'officially' wake up.

turning around I got up from the bed and ordered some breakfast with coffee for the both of us. after that, I decided to check my phone. Heather and Hannah had asked how our night went and if I was now Mrs. Haddock, which confirmed my suspicions about them planning all of that.

I burst out laughing at their messages. they were joking about what happened yesterday at the concert and the people's reaction to it. Hannah wearing Aaron's hoodie last night and them going to a corner together acting like a couple was planned by her and Gobber so he could direct a camera on Henry and me while singing the bridge. this made everyone try to guess who I was. Since I agreed to work with GH Studios already they announced that I'm their new songwriter and will be working with Henry.

"Astrid ever you do, do not open your social media ok" I heard Henry say as he got out of the bathroom. "If you are talking about our picture then I already know." I showed him the text thread. "Turn out it was planned" he let out a sigh of relief as he sat down on the bed. "I'm killing her the second I see her." He called her and once she answered "What the fuck was that for? You wanna give me a heart attack or what" she chuckled. "Some planned and controlled scandal won't hurt it was getting quite boring, to be honest." Henry groaned. "You want to give me a heart attack. They are already thinking that Astrid and I are dating just wait till the next day and fucking fanfics will be out (wink wink) heck edits might be out yet if you look" I could hear Hannah laughing while Aaron chuckling in the background. "First of all bold of you to assume that I did not already publish one. Second of all, I give you two a week till you start dating. Third of all if anyone is being shipped her other than you two of course it would be me and Aaron." She exclaimed. "Wait pause, rewind. What about you and my brother" I said shocked. "The cameraman thought we make a cute couple and showed us a little too long to make a 'couple goals' video." Aaron had taken the phone from Hannah to talk to the two of us. "Where are the two of you right now" Henry asked probably getting a headache from all of this. "We have a connection flight we are in Oscar Kansas right now." We nodded. "Ok be safe you too and update me if anything happens." They nod. "Take care of my sister for me please Aaron" Before Hannah could protest Henry disconnected the call.

"This is gonna be a hectic week so I hope you are ready" I laughed. "Well it's gonna be fun" we grinned. This is gonna be epic.
