"Someone is eager."
I teased her once we were in an empty hallway.

She stopped dead in her tracks.
Oh no. No please. Let her not regret this already. 

But the next thing I know, she was kissing me.
Her small lips moulded with mine and all I could feel was paradise

HARRY

It was true what I said. Skype was an option but not convincing enough. It was necessary to do it personally. Tech can't solve everything, can it?

Keep telling yourself that.

My conscience needed to shut up right now.

I noticed her reading, deep in concentration. She had a cute frown marring her features.
Did I just say cute?

She'd been reading ever since we settled on the plane, probably distracting herself from her fear of heights. It was hilarious the way she screamed when the plane started on the runway until she dug her nails into my skin.
Seriously her nails weren't that long but hey? They were lethal!

Just then, it was announced that we reached Ireland and were ready to land.
This was going to be fun.

SASCHA

Ireland.
We were in Ireland. Freaking Ireland?
What did I ever do to be so lucky?

I glanced at the boy beside me. It was all because of him.
As we stood up to retrieve our bags, I hugged him. He seemed surprised but hugged me back nonetheless. He must be used to getting them from fans that lunged at him every now and then.

Feeling the need to give an explanation for my stupid actions, I said, "Thank you so much Harry for everything. You don't know how much this means to me. I don't know how will I ever pay you back, but I'll always be grateful."

He smiled genuinely. I don't know why people said he didn't smile anymore. All the times I'd met him, he'd always smiled showcasing his prized dimples.

Stop staring Sascha.....

"It's okay Sascha. Some things can't be repaid. But the happiness you get by doing them is worth it."

His eyes were mesmerising. This was so unlike the Harry I initially started talking to. No doubt he was still a diva, but a good one at that.

As soon as we got out of the plane, I was a bundle of nerves. Not because of the chilly weather but because this was way too exciting. My first proper trip outside India and to Ireland out of every other place!

We managed to get through the paparazzi to the car. Only because I was asked to pretend as an assistant manager to the actual manager, whose name I didn't even know and had to walk atleast ten feet away from him. Apparently, Harry had planned to keep me under wraps all throughout the trip in these ways. I had to disguise as one of the management. In that way, I'd also get my first hand training at event management.

Everything seemed so unreal. I wish I could have shared this with Derek.
My heart ached, just thinking about him. What must he be up to right now? Does he think about me too? Is he fine? It had been close to a month since I last saw him. I missed him so much.
