Serendipity by the Sea

Chapter Forty

Sarah opened the envelope that was on her office desk and pulled out two V.I.P. tags to the One Direction show that was being performed tomorrow night.  She hadn’t seen Harry in a few days because he was rehearsing with the band.  But, they had been spending a lot of time together the past few weeks.  Today, she longed for his touch and found herself daydreaming of their sexual encounters more and more.  She was running the tags across her skin, when she heard Danielle enter her office.

“What did you get?” Danielle asked, as she put a chai latte from Starbucks on Sarah’s desk.

“The boys are putting a concert on tomorrow night and I just got a pass.”  Sarah answered, as she put the tags back in the envelope.

“Oh wow!  That will be exciting. This is the first time you are seeing them perform, right?”  Danielle said with a big smile on her face.

“Yeah. I downloaded a few of their songs the other day and put them on a playlist along with a few songs that Harry likes.”  Sarah answered, “Would you want to go with me?”

Danielle starred at Sarah, as if she just offered her a million dollars. “Of course!”

“Alright. Good.  It’s tomorrow night. Harry has arranged for a car to pick me up here at 5:00.”  Sarah said, as she rearranged the papers on her desk.

The next 24 hours flew by and it was soon 4:45 p.m. the day of the Staples Center show. Harry had texted Sarah throughout the day, keeping her updated on the ticket sales.

H: they sold out in 7 minutes across 4 websites

S: that is so amazing! You have some devoted fans, I guess.

H: it should be a really great show. I’m excited for you to see us.

S: me too. Danielle is coming with me. She hasn’t shut up about it since I told her.

H: I’ll see you soon. I can’t wait to kiss you.

S: xo

Sarah and Danielle got in the backseat of the town car that picked them up at the Museum entrance.  They buckled their seat belts and the driver turned around to let them know it was a short distance to the Staples Center.

“Thank you for inviting me. I haven’t been to concert in so long.”  Danielle exclaimed as she turned to face Sarah in the backseat of the car.

“Thank Harry. He sent the passes.”  Sarah said and immediately noticed the traffic in front of them on the freeway. “This traffic is ridiculous.”

“I bet they are all headed to the Staples Center.”  Danielle joked, but soon the girls realized the cars and vans around them had signs in the windows, girls hanging out of sunroofs, and chalk written words on back windshields.

“I don’t know how they do it. This is pure insanity.”  Sarah said, as her eyes darted around the highway to all the different signs and words written in love for One Direction.

The town car met up with a police car on the side of the road and the driver rolled down his window.

“I have Sarah Thayer in the backseat.  She is needed at the Staples Center. Can you help us out?”  The driver said the police officer.

The officer stepped back and said something into his radio, which was attached to his shirt lapel.  Once he was finished, he nodded to the town car driver and waved for him to follow the police officer.   

The town car window went up and the driver turned around to face the girls, “We’ll be there soon. The boys have arranged a caravan escort.”

Sarah and Danielle looked at each other in awe and just started laughing, as Danielle smirked at Sarah and said, “He sure knows how to impress a girl.”
