3Dx1D: An Epic Story of Romance, Heartbreak, and Life

Chapter Five

Weeks after the interview with James, The Three Dreamers were preparing to go on their very first world tour, the big break that the La Vida Company promised them as they signed their contract. One week before the official tour which was first headed towards Chicago, Illinois which would then go straight to New York, Tokyo, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Nashville, and Dubai.  It was going to be a hectic schedule for the girls, and their tour manager has given them this week to say goodbye and spend time with their families and loved ones.

Michele and Max were out of town for the weekend- with Max going on a trip with her boyfriend Arthur, and Michele meeting her family in Hawthorne, Tatiana was left alone in their mansion. Her family couldn't go on a trip to see her, as they were still in the Philippines, arranging their assets and lands because Tatiana planned to move their family to Canada and buy a permanent house there. So I can finally give my mom and my siblings the comfortable life that they deserve. Lost in her longing for home, she decided to video chat her mom on Messenger.

"Hi Omma." She said, as she greeted the beautiful face of her mom after a few rings. People told her Tatiana looked a lot like her dad but she liked to think that half of her physical and intellectual assets came from her mom, who still looked young despite having reached the senior age of 65. "Hi baby, how are you? Miss ka na namin ni ate Ly." Her mom replied lovingly as they continued to talk about their upcoming plans and Tatiana's excitement and nervousness for their world tour.

As she and her mom were chatting happily, the doorbell rang throughout the mansion. Tatiana decided to leave it alone since maybe it was just another delivery for Michele, who has a knack for relentless online shopping. She figured Mich always paid through credit card anyways and the guards can always receive the package if a signature was needed. Tatiana continued their conversation, the doorbell rang again, this time with more urgency. She sighed and said goodbye to her mom, who made her promise to visit them during their tour break. Reluctantly, she made her way down the stairs and wondered what could be so important that she had to personally get out of bed and answer the door. It better be pizza. She thought as her stomach grumbled upon realization that she hasn't had lunch yet.

"Yes? Are you a pizza-" Her sentence gets cut off as she is met with a hot, smoldering look emanating from the gorgeous face of Harry Styles. Harry laughed as he presented her with a tastefully-made bouquet of daisies. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I-" Tatiana stammered as she gazed into his soulful green eyes.

"Why is it that every time we meet you're apologizing and both times I'm always either a delicious snack or a kissing booth volunteer?"  Tatiana blushed as she profusely scolded herself mentally. If only it was possible for the ground to swallow me up, right now, that would be great. Really great. She flashed on an embarrassed smile as she turned her gaze away from him and looked at her feet.

"So, umm, I'm not a vampire by the way so feel free to invite me in, anytime." He winked as he cheekily handed her the bouquet. I could not look more like an idiot right now. Please kill me. Tatiana did the one thing she always did in facing stressful situations. Act with corny confidence. "Oh Harry, if it's you who's going to suck my blood, I'd let you...sink...your fangs in?" Oh my gosh what the fuck Tatiana your mom did not make you to grow up like this. To her relief, Harry exploded into bursts of laughter.

After another awkward period of apologizing, she was able to make her way into the living room and gestured for Harry to sit. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, Mr. Styles?" Sheesh, I make like an actress with lines for the newest James Bond movie or make another cheesy romantic line. Make up your mind, Tatiana. Both are equally embarrassing. Just act normal even if Harry freaking Styles is now sitting inside your home. Harry freaking Styles aka the love of your life with whom you've shared a deep conversation with over coffee just a few weeks ago.

Harry cleared his throat as it looked like it was his turn to be embarrassed. "Well, umm, I went here with, umm- ehem" Tatiana stood up as she wondered why Harry was stuttering like he had sticky phlegm in his throat. "Do you want some water or-"

"No! It's fine- I mean, no thank you" Harry quickly said as he reached out for her hand and pulled her close to where he was sitting. Tatiana's heart beat grew faster as she felt the electrifying shock that ran through her body the moment Harry's skin touched hers. There it is again.

"No, what I wanted to ask is- that the reason I came here, is because I wanted to ask you...on a date. With me."

The moment those words escaped his lips, my heart stopped beating. And the rest was history.

"Me? Date? You? Us?" Tatiana struggled to find the words as what Harry said left her at a loss. "Yeah, I mean, if you want to." Harry looked at his feet and placed his hand on the back of his neck.

She stood still for a few seconds, looking at Harry's hopeful face. "Okay."

Harry broke into a huge smile. "Yeah?" Tatiana nodded. Harry gently took her hand in his and kissed it. "You won't regret this, I promise."

"No doubt, I won't ." THIS IS MY DREAM SUDDENLY COMING TRUE! It's too good to be true, I think I might die.
