Girl Causing Chaos

Chapter 19 - Ed Sheeran

By the time we'd finished eating, my stomach was feeling more full than I'd ever experienced before in my entire life.

"Oh my god, that was amazing!" I told Nash, "thank you again for this, I can't believe how good it was!"

"I know, but I don't think I'll be eating again for a least a week." Nash replied, leaning back and rubbing his stomach.

We both sat in silence for a while, just thinking about the amazing meal we'd just had.

"Okay, we have to go now though." Nash said, looking at his watch. "We have 10 minutes to get there and even though it's across the street, I'd rather leave now."

I said okay and followed him as he exited the restaurant, he automatically took my hand to speed me up like he used to when we were dating, he didn't seem to notice the touch but I could feel a trail of tingles everywhere his skin touched mine.

"We're here to see Ed Sheeran." Nash told the security man as we reached the arena, I looked at him in shock, how the hell did he arrange this? And how much was tonight going to cost him just to take me out?

"Which seats?" The security man asked.

"Actually were standing." Nash replied, digging his hands into his pocket and offering the security man two tickets with 'standing' written across them in bold.

The man took our tickets and directed us to where we needed to go.

"Nash, how the hell did you get standing tickets to Ed Sheeran?" I asked, struggling to keep up with his long strides.

"I have my ways." He told me with a smirk. He noticed how much I was falling behind and slowed down to walk next to me, gently putting his hand on the small of my back to speed me up a little, "is this okay? I mean you like Ed Sheeran, right? And you like concerts? I think I remember you saying you do but if you don't we could..." He started rambling on in concern.

"I can't wait." I said, interrupting him and offering him a toothy grin.

He smiled back and ran his hands through his hair, "okay, in here." He told me breathlessly, as if he were nervous about something, he held open the door and I stepped inside.

We made our way through a cluster of fans all holding up signs and wearing face paint with 'Ed Sheeran!' Scrawled over their faces.

"Are you okay?" Nash asked as I looked around in wonder at the stadium.

"Yeah, it's just that I've never been to a concert before." I told him, seeing him smile broadly out of the corner of my eye.

Just then, the lights dimmed and acts were welcomed into the stage, each one better than the last until, finally, it was announced that Ed Sheeran would be next.

The crowd went crazy, including me who jumped up and down, lost in the atmosphere.

Ed Sheeran walked onto the stage with his guitar, waving and saying how happy he was to be here.

I looked at Nash to find him already staring at me, I grinned and he grinned back. He said something, but I couldn't hear over the screaming, when I mouthed for him to say it again, he just waved his hand to say don't worry and pointed at the stage.

So I turned around and watched as Ed Sheeran sing 'Don't' and started singing along to the tune with the rest of the audience.

By his fourth song, I'd got Nash to join in and we were screaming the lyrics at each other, jumping up and down and throwing out hair around. Then on the slower songs we would sway and swing our arms in the air or pretend we had microphones and sing dramatically with them.
