Courage to Fly (EDITING IN PROCESS)

Chapter Thirteen

Cheyenne's POV

"Cheyenne!" Harry called when he saw me coming through the door backstage. He quickly walked toward me with his arms outstretched as I ran to give him a hug. He lifted me up and I nuzzled my face into the crook of my neck. He kissed my ear and squeezed me around the middle, setting my feet back on the floor, gently. He placed his forehead on mine and grinned at me. "Did you like it?" He was shirtless in a pair of tight jeans and bear foot. He was slightly shining in the lights from a slight layer of sweat from the lights and constant moving onstage. He was breathing hard from the physical exertion, and grinning like a maniac.

I couldn't help but grin also. "I loved it, Harry," I said quietly.

His grin got bigger and kissed me quickly on the mouth. "Here," he took my hand and led me to the other side of the room. "Cheyenne, this is Liam, Niall, and Zayn. Guys, this is Cheyenne, say hi."

"Hi, Cheyenne," Liam said, coming up to hug me.

"Hello, Liam," I said.

"I'm actually really happy to meet you," he said, "Harry's told me a bit about you and you sound really sweet and nice."

I smiled. "Thanks..."

"Hey," Zayn said smiling at me and shaking my hand, "I'm Zayn,"

"Ummm..." I said, "I know,"

He smiled. "Good, you're a fan?"

I nodded.

"That," he said smiling, "is also a good thing."

I could feel myself blushing.

"Hey, Cheyenne," Niall said, hugging me, "how are you?"

"Good," I said nodding.

"Did you enjoy the show?"

"Yeah, I did," I said.

"Good," he said smiling. He turned around and picked up the tank top that was on the table next to him and put it on.

"There's someone else that wants to meet all of you," Harry said and we both turned around and looked at Kayla. She was frozen to the spot. I laughed and ran over to her.

"C'mon, penguin," I said.

She walked with me over to Louis. "Hey, Lou," I said.

Louis turned around and smiled at me and Kayla. "Hello, you must be Kayla," he said.

"Yeah," she said, "hi."

"Hi,"

They were about the same height and build and pretty much looked like fraternal twins. Well, except for the eyes.

"Liam," Louis said, and Liam came over to talk to Kayla.

I leaned over her shoulder to look at Liam. "She's a Disney junky, Lion King is her favorite, and she loves Toy Story, Batman and Spider-Man."

Liam's eyes got big and he grinned. "Hi," he said hugging her, "I don't know who you are yet, but I already love you."

Kayla giggled and hugged him tightly back. "I already love you too, Liam,"

"Oh, that's not fair!" Liam said, "You know my name, and all I know about you is you're awesome." Liam pouted and Kayla laughed.

Harry tugged on the sleeve of my jacket and took my hand when I turned toward him. He led me across the room to the window and stood close to me, facing each other, oblivious to the world.

"So you liked it?" He asked quietly.

I nodded. "Loved it. It was amazing."

He grinned really big and looked down, his cheeks darkening very slightly with a bit of pink. I thought it was cute. I cocked my head to the side, so I could kind of see his face. I leaned forward and touched my nose to his. He tilted his face up a little so that we were nuzzling each other’s noses. He had his eyes closed and was smiling slightly, like he was contented. He breathed in deeply, and bit his lip.
