CHAPTER 58

(Soundtrack : She Looks So Perfect, 5 Seconds Of Summer)

Harry’s P.O.V

‘’It’s been exactly 35 minutes since we’re here.’’ I tell Louis as I look at my phone. ‘’When will you think we should go back to Lou’s?’’

‘’Well Lou had promised to give us a ring when she’s done. Just wait, I guess it all will be done in just a couple of five minutes.’’ Louis answers.

‘’I can’t hardly wait to see her.’’ I speak in my heart.

Eleanor then excuses herself to go to the toilet- with Louis giving a kiss on her cheek before she leaves. I look at their romance and convince myself; they are really going steady right? I should just reassure everything- if Louis is still single, I’m sure Luna will still be roaming around to chase him and get him as his lover. Louis might respond to her though- from the way his eyes linger to Luna’s body I can tell he somehow regrets leaving her in the other day. Well every boy who does it to Luna will- Luna is too precious to let go. Clearing my throat I look at Louis and call him, ‘’Em, Louis.’’

‘’Yes Harry?’’                                                                                                       

‘’You’ve had this thing with Eleanor right?’’ I ask, hoping his answer will just soothe my worries down.

‘’Yeah bro, she’s sweet. Why is that?’’

‘’No, I’m just hoping you two would end up together.’’ I smile and tap his shoulder. Deep down I feel so relaxed and all chilled out since this has somehow proven that Louis is no longer single anymore. I don’t want Luna to face heartbreaks just to get him as his lover; I really hope the fact of Louis dating with Eleanor will just make Luna stop. If she stops chasing Louis then I’ll be having much more spare room to prove her that I can be that one man to fulfill her desire of a perfect love life.

‘’Lads!’’ Eleanor running to our direction has suddenly stopped us roaming around with our own minds. We directly look at her and question her, ‘’What?’’

‘’Lou just gave me a ring- I think she has done giving Luna the makeover.’’ Eleanor widely smiles. ‘’I can’t wait to see her.’’

‘’Especially this curly-haired guy!’’ Louis teases. ‘’He can’t sit still eversince. You can’t wait to see her can you?’’ He questions.

‘’I, uh..’’ I stammer.

‘’Lucky we took him to my room ha!’’ He laughs. ‘’If we waited on Lou’s room still I’m sure you can’t hold your desire to kiss her, Harry.’’

I only give a small laugh. I somehow wished we could just wait at Lou’s room, but Louis and Eleanor said we shouldn’t bother them at all. That left me disappointed- actually I want to see Luna changing and I know she’s going to be looking like an angel, but they forced me to just wait on Louis’ room and with a heavy heart I accomplished their wish.

We walk three abreast to Lou’s room; I can feel my heart beating real hard. I know Lou must have done an amazing job to Luna and I also do know Luna will just be magnificently beautiful back then. But can I hold my desire to make her mine- just because she doesn’t feel anything near the word ‘same’? Without me realizing it, the door rushes opened, revealing Luna standing on the mirror.

I almost can’t inhale air anymore- she’s more than I’ve imagined. She stands perfectly on the gray high heels and it’s a good coincidence that her outfit matches well with the makeup. Her usually-straight blonde hair is now curled and given lylac highlights. Her eyelashes going thicker becuse of the mascara- she’s by all means perfect.

‘’Luna..’’ I say without realizing that my lips are already parted open.

‘’Harry! You, you all are here.’’ Luna says, looking to the floor afterwards. ‘’Em, yeah? I think this is way too much.’’

I can hear Eleanor clapping, so is Louis.

‘’Lou has absolutely done a good job!’’ Louis squeals. ‘’Now I’m one hundred percent sure that Willton won’t be able to notice you.’’

‘’When will we go anyway?’’ Luna questions, her cheeks blushing of Louis’ words. Damn it. Why can’t I compliment her straightaway? Now my lips are too frozen to open themselves up- my heart is racing so bad. She is so fucking beautiful.

‘’Now.’’ Louis says. ‘’It’s here.’’

‘’Nobody should join us, it’s a private appoinment.’’ Louis tells Eleanor. Eleanor only smiles and lands a kiss to Louis’ lips before hugging him straight. Meanwhile me? I can feel my heart pounding in a sad way- me not joining Luna now? Oh how upset I turn out to be.

‘’Harry?’’ Luna questions as she looks at my direction, giving me a sparkle of hope.

‘’I’m sorry Luna but it’s just a private appoinment.’’ I can feel something deceiving in Louis’ words but I’m too broken to care.

‘’Shit.’’ Luna spats. She thanks Lou before her hand is taken by Louis- they’re ready to set off. I solely can stare and do nothing.

‘’Harry, do I look gross?’’ Luna questions when Louis opens the door.

‘’No, you’re not.’’ I briefly answer. Luna asks, ‘’You sure?’’

‘’Of course.’’ I smile, despite of the heartbreaks caused by Louis tightly holding her hand.

Why can’t I be that him for her?

Just before they truly leave, Luna surprisingly runs to me and gives me a small peck on my right cheek. My cheek will cast a red mark, but her lipstick stain is a work of art. A hope of love is given- please Luna, make this real. I’ve got your name tattoed in my heart, please, tattoo my name on your life as well.

‘’Glasses please?’’ She smiles. I laugh and give her one, ‘’I’ve always brought this for you.’’

‘’Just in case.’’ She laughs.

‘’Goodbye. And goodluck.’’ I whisper before she leaves. She might not hear my words as I know she’s too joyed with Louis by her side. But what more can I do? At least I’ve shared that one crucial thing I hardly share to other girls in this world- love.
