Impulse [A Harry Styles FanFiction]

Chapter 19- Illusion

POV Harry

1 MONTH LATER

"Thank you Baltimore!" I yell into my microphone.

The arena cheers get louder and I admire the scene one last time before waving and bolting off the stage. I weave my way through backstage and into the dressing room.

"Good show lads." Louis says in between long gulps of water.

"I can't wait to sleep in a real bed tonight." Zayn says softly before crashing onto the couch.

We're staying in a hotel tonight since we have an unimaginable amount of press tomorrow along with a shoot tomorrow morning.

We have our Philly show in a few days which is the last concert before New York City. Playing at Madison Square Garden is something every performer dreams of. This time, we're going to spend at least three days in New York City since we also are attending an award show.

"Guys, in less then a week we're all going to be in New York! I'm literally so excited." Auden gushes.

"I want to go to M&M World, that Wax Museum, Time Square with that giant red staircase, and- Ooo! We should go to another Broadway show! Oh this is going to be such a good time." Niall exclaims.

"I can't wait for MSG. That place is amazing." I add.

We hang out for an half and hour or so until we are ushered to pile into a car to take us back to the hotel.

"This is mad." Liam announces as we pull into the parking lot.

It's near 11:30 at night and fans, paparazzi, and reporters have circled the building. The poor hotel security were stuck holding the crowd back so they wouldn't venture inside.

"I just want to go to bed." Zayn sighs as he puts on a pair of dark shades.

Our car pulls up to the main entrance and Will jumps out first and speaks to the closest security guard before letting us out. We step out of the car one by one.

I stand close to Auden and we both keep our heads down as we try and make our way to the hotel lobby.

"Harry! Harry over here!"

"Zayn! Zayn Malik, what's going on between you and Perrie?"

"Niall, how was the show tonight?"

"Louis! Liam! Look this way!"

"Auden, what's your comment on the relationship rumors between you and Harry Styles?"

There's so many flashes I swear I'm seeing stars and colorful dots. We finally make it inside and the quiet air conditioned lobby has never felt better.

Paul checks in at the front desk and we all crash on the lobby couch. Auden nudges me and looks at me with tired eyes.

"Pizza and a movie is my only offer. There's no way your convincing me to go swimming or get hyped up on candy or even look at the bar." she says.

"Agreed." I assure her.

"You guys are no fun! Louis and I want to go night swimming!" Niall whines.

"Niall, you mustn't stay out late. We have to be up and running in less than 7 hours." Liam interrupts.

Niall's spirits look absolutely crushed but he nods sadly anyway. Paul waves the roomkeys at us signaling we're ready to go.

"I call rooming with Niall!" Louis yells before ripping a key from Paul's hand.

"Zayn, mate, we're meant for each other. You and I both just want to rest." Liam says giving Zayn a smile.

Auden and I are permanent roommates anyway, so we take the elevator up to the top floor and flop dramatically on the king bed.

"You and I have the ultimate privacy. Enjoy it while it lasts." I whisper wrapping my arms around her waist.

She flashes me a smile but her attention is focused on the room phone in which she's pressing several buttons.

"Hi I'm calling about room service... yes please... Can I order a well done cheese pizza... thank you so much!"

"Yes, you have my full attention." she grins.

I lean in to kiss her and I get the same powerful feeling I got over a month ago in the hot tub. Sure we've kissed a few times since, but on a tour bus there isn't room for passionate kisses like this one.

We roll around giggling and kissing on the bed for a while until we're interrupted by a knock on the door. I get up quickly and collect the large pizza box waiting for us.

We inhale the pizza slice by slice while watching the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. One of the best things about Auden is that she's very charismatic. Even when we are doing mindless things like eating or watching movies, I always enjoy her company.

In no time at all, the TV is switched off, the room is silent, and sleep has finally overtaken the two of us.

The bloody room phone blares in my ear as I open my eyes silently. I reach over to the bedside table and grab the stupid phone.

"Hello?" I say softly.

Auden is still fast asleep. Even though I have to get up, it shouldn't mean she has to.

"Thank god your up. Get ready and meet down in the dining room in 25 minutes. We have a quick breakfast before we have to go your shoot."

"Alright. See you soon." I hang up the phone.

I'm still in my stage clothes front last night. I smell absolutely awful from the dried sweat from last nights performance. I wash up and have a quick shower. As soon as I walk out of the bathroom, I find Auden just waking up as well.

"Morning, love." I greet her.

"Morning." she grins tiredly.

"If you can be ready in 15 minutes that would absolutely ideal. Breakfast is waiting for us and then we have to go."

"I can do it in 10. Watch me." she laughs.

She is not kidding either. Auden is dressed and ready in a groundbreaking 10 minutes. We greet the boys, management, and crew in the the secluded dining room moments later.

I join the boys at a small round table while Auden makes herself a cup of coffee.

"So... how was it last night?" Niall asks excitedly.

"Comfy bed. Real nice. Didn't want to get up this morning, how about you?" I answer.

"No, no. How was it."  Zayn asks.

What?

Louis and Liam exchange a look.

"For gods sake Harry, did you do it or not?" Louis whisper shouts.

What does mean do it? Oh. Do it.

"No. I slept like a baby. That's what I did." I scoff.

"Harry, last night was a golden opportunity. You and her, late at night, alone, and in a hotel suite." Zayn exclaims.

"I think you guys want this relationship to move faster then Auden and I want it to. Take it easy lads, it's only been a little over a month!" I huff.

"It sounds like a short amount of time, but you've been living with the girl for a month! It's like you skipped the first three phases and rushed to the moving in together thing." Liam protests.

"Yeah. It's whatever. Just let us live." I say peeling myself away from the table.

I'm much more interested in fixing myself a cup of tea then hearing the rest of that conversation. Why should that matter anyway?

It sit back down and Auden, the boys, and I finish having breakfast and then get into a car to take us to our shoot.
