♡ | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | POWER AND CONTROL | ♡ CHAPTER 1: THE CROWNING

'Think you're funny, think you're smart, 

Think you're gonna break my heart. 

Think you're funny, think you're smart, 

Yeah, you may be good looking, 

But you're not a piece of art.'

In London, I sat in Harry's office chair fiddling with the diamond on my left hand. 

"Diamonds are a girls bestfriend" Marilyn said, never was a statement so true.

Being engaged to Harry was marvelous. I was simply paralyzed with happiness. But my happy times would soon be replaced with melancholy, as I remembered that we would soon be seperating.

We were both touring. 

The Lonely Hearts Tour would finish in North America and The Take Me Home Tour would end in Europe.

I'd miss my fiancé terribly.

My reminsicing reached its crescendo when pigeon-toed feet stood before me. 

Being the sloth I am, I remained seated beaming at my beautiful man.

Speaking no words, he leaned into me  

brushing his lips against mine.

I pretened to be unflappable and turned my left cheek to him, when he tried to lip-lock.

"Oh, don't play me like that," Harry broke the silence.  

The flirtation caused a smile to play on my lips.  

And glancing up at Harry he was also smiling.

I mindlessy bit on my lower lip, avoidin his smoldering look.

Harry placed both his hands over  

mine on the arm rest; trapping me.

"Harry," I whispered.  

I gazed at his pink lips, slowly leaning into them. 

Harry seemed to follow my action and as our lips merely danced together, I pushed him off and skipped away.

It was fun to play games with Harry; games where I'd win.

Glancing backward, he still hovered over the empty chair, as if in disbelief of my velocity.

I lightly laughed and went along to begin packing.

Choosing between my "Miss Shellfish Beach" sash and "Nicki Minaj is unbearable" sash would be a very hard decision to make.

The doorbell had sounded and I was up on my feet.

Opening the door there stood a smiling Liam and behind him were the other lads.

"Hey guys!" I shrilled. 

"Marina!" They harmonized.  

Pecking them each on their cheek, they all clambered inside. 

"Harry!" Louis screamed, scaring us all. 

Upon the call, Harry appeared from the balcony.

He joined us, wearing his signature cheeky-british-smirk.

"Now if Marina doesn't mind we have to run through our schedule for tommrow." Liam spoke. 

I nodded and walked towards the kitchen hoping to make tea.

I busied myself there, preparing the tea, while Liam briefed the boys on tommorow and the rest of their European tour.

As the kettle shrilled, I poured the hot tea into a pot. 

Joining me in the kitchen, Niall wanted to lend a hand.

"How are you?" I asked him, sweetly. 

"Mighty fine." He grinned. 

His teeth were all pearly white and divine, with no trace of ivasiglne material. 

"You've gotten your braces off!" I repcgnized. 

He nodded and smiled shyly. 

"You look great, Niall." I complimented. 

"Thanks, now let me help you." He insisted.

Niall carried the tray, and I the kettle. 

Knowing all their preferences, Niall directed me and I served everyone.

"Marina, aren't you going back on tour tommorow as well?" Zayn spoke. 

"Mhm," I sipped my tea. 

"Starting in Portland." 

"We start in France." Louis commented. 

"Ooh la la, Paris!" I spoke in french. 

The boys laughed, because they apprecaited my attempt for humor and my accent was awful.

"Why don't we all go out tonight! It's our last night in London!" Niall suggested. 

"Let's do it!" Louis cheered.  

"But not too late." Liam advised, agreeing. 

"I'll have to ask Perrie." Zayn sought out.

Now, four eager eyes were going back and forth between Harry and I.

"Let's get pissed!" I hollered, unlady-like. 

The boys cheered, laughing at my charisma. 

Now everyone waited for Harry's response, including me. 

"Ditto!" Harry agreed, in his playful tone.  

I smiled over at him and he winked towards me. 

What a cruiser, that boy!
