Harry's POV

As soon as the show was over I ran backstage in search of a bottle water because I was awfully thirsty and that was the longest I've ever gone in a show without actually drinking water.
''Great as usual'' Matilda my stylist praised as she handed me a bottle of water and I gave a proud smile and I danced all the way back to my dressing room taking little sips, at the same time singing and humming.

'' You don't have to say you love me, I just wanna tell you something, lately you've been on my mind...''

I walk into my dressing room only to be startled by the brown head sitting on MY sofa and sipping MY tea.

''Seriously?...again?'' I ask with a resting bitch face.

''Nice to see you too Harry. And don't give me that resting bitch face'' she said raising a brow at me, and I just stuck my tongue out at her and walked over to my chair in front of the mirror, picking up my phone to tell Matilda I need another cup of tea since mine just got stolen.

'' Did you come with a car or did security drop you off?''

''Oh no I came with my car. I just finished a photoshoot and I was heading back to my hotel room when I heard you were playing tonight, so I decided to stop by and watch the show'' she says and I nod as I much on the tray of brownies layed for me beside the dresser table at that moment Matilda comes in with a fresh cup of hot tea. ''Here you go Harry'' she says and I thank her taking if from her before she heads out the door, looking over at lily and giving a kind smile and wave which lily returned.

''Was that Ed I saw back here a couple minutes ago tho?'' She asks.
'' oh yeah, he stopped by here some hours ago, was watching the show from here, said he's going out of the country in a few days and we were actually planning on hanging out, but today was the only day he could be available'' I explained.

''So what did you think of the new release?... You know, Adore you and falling?'' I ask once Matilda is out.

'The songs we're amazing actually,but I think I liked Adore you better''

''Why not falling?''

''Well I don't know I mean it's good'' she laughs once she notices my piercing glare but I just rolled my eyes and watched her talk about how comforting Adore you made her feel and sad falling really was.

We talked for a while and she told me how stressful work has really been for her, and it seemed to have gotten worse compared to when she talked about it the last time she came to see me perform. We spoke for almost an hour before the stage director told me it was time to take pictures with the fans which took about 2 to 3 hours of my night but at last I was done and as I signed the last autograph of a picture of me I hurried back to my dressing room to tell Lily it was time for me and the band to start leaving to our hotel room and asked If she wanted to tag along for a few drinks which she agreed to.

We got our stuff and began heading out through the usual hidden exit door. Once we were outside the guards tried their best to keep my fans out of arms reach and as soon as we got closer to the black van I rushed inside  before winding down the glasses and waving to them. I suspected lily must have gotten into her own car and was following behind us.

Once the cars stopped in front of the hotel building everyone got out and began heading to lodge into their rooms and I led lily to my hotel room. The rest of the band was expected to join us for drinks at the balcony.
