Cheshire Chatroom Continuation

41

I was standing against the wall halfway to the dance floor with Harry, and we looked dazed to see Liam with a girl, approaching us. I smiled and Liam greeted us, "Hey."

"Hey, who is this girl?" I asked with a grin.

Holding her arm around her he introduced her to us, "This is Danielle; Danielle, this is Harry and Louis. "

She gently shook our hands and I noticed a shocked look on her face, "Oh? Is this the Harry you have a crush on? "

Harry blushed and Liam chuckled nervously, "Um, maybe? Come on let's go."

I shook my head in amusement and muttered to Harry, "Hm ... it looks like he has a thing for curly hair ..."

Harry laughed and asked me, "Can I go with them just for a moment?"

"Sure, I'm waiting for you here. Have fun," I caught his lips in a kiss and then he walked away, catching up with Liam and Danielle. I continued to sip my punch, moving faintly to the rhythm of the background melody, when suddenly Zayn showed up in front of me, grabbing a glass of punch as if it were nothing. Nonetheless, he remained there, beside me, avoiding eye contact.

After a few minutes he heard him ask me, "Why him?"

Realizing what he meant, I asked him, in response, "Why Perrie?"

"She is special, she makes me happy, she stays by my side even when I do something wrong. She doesn't judge me for my looks. She accepts me for who I am and even though she judges me, she doesn't do it in a rude and offensive way, she is understanding and she wants to help me, she loves me for who I am, "she said softly.

I smiled, "That's exactly how Harry is. I love him. Of course, it's a bit strange because we are diametrically different, I am extrovert and he is shy and more closed in on himself ... but we are somehow connected and even though he is younger I love him ... a lot. "

Zayn seemed to be pondering something, but then sighed, "I'm sorry, I... I might not like Harry or generally... gay people, but... I can learn to 'accept' it. Just because I can't lose your friendship and if you're happy, he has to be something special. "

"He is," I nodded.

Then all of a sudden Harry walked over to me, but his eyes filled with fear as soon as he noticed Zayn. I chuckled, "It's okay, angel, he's okay with us being together."

"Yeah, sorry for what I've done in the past Harry, as long as when you kiss you do it away from me," Zayn laughed, remaining quite serious nonetheless.

I nodded and we heard the principal call for general attention, "Okay, everyone pay attention. It's time to announce our queen and king of this year's winter ball. Well, it's... Lucy Martin and Niall Horan! "

I smiled as I saw the couple in question jump up and down exchanging a kiss and then taking the stage. Niall placed a tiara on Lucy's head and she did the same, before lacing their hands and walking towards the center of the room. 'Look Me In The Eyes' was playing in the background and a few moments later everyone started dancing.

I turned to Harry, asking, "Will you give me this dance, babe?"

He nodded, accepting my hand, and we walked to the dance floor. I placed my hands on his hips and he wrapped his hands around my neck. We swayed to the music, going awkwardly in small circles. After that song I heard a more familiar one and grinned.

I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it's complicated
So complicated
Somewhere in this city is a road I know
Where we could make it
But maybe there's no making it now

I smiled, "Do you remember when you told me to look for this song?"

He nodded, "Yeah, the first time we talked ..."

Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

"I never understood why the song was so sad in your eyes. I told myself it was because I'd never been in love and never would be," I said softly, "But now I understand. "

I was only trying to bury the pain
But I made you cry and I can't stop the crying
Was only trying to save me
But I lost you again
Now there's only lying
Wish I could say it's only me

"This song almost seems to be talking to me. Everything I've done to you, I've done to try and fix things, but I've done nothing but make them worse. I made you cry and I was being selfish, trying to make everything better for me. But in the meantime I lost you and kept lying to you," I whispered. He looked at me intently as we turned in circular motifs.

Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

Harry smiled softly, "But it's all right now."

"Yeah, everything is much nicer, but the thing I love most about this song is that it's no longer true for us. We have overcome all the pain and the mountains on our way, we are finally happy," I told him.

He caught my lips with his, then rested his head on my shoulder as we swayed slightly to the melody; and while that wasn't exactly the stereotype of slow, we didn't care because we were Harry and Louis, Louis and Harry — we're special.

Here it comes ready or not
We both found out it's not how we thought
That it would be, how it would be
If the time could turn us around
What once was lost may be found
For you and me, for you and me
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

The music began to fade, Harry lifted his head off my shoulder. I leaned towards him and placed my lips on him, kissing him softly. He smiled at them and I lightly stroked his cheek.

I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it's complicated
So complicated

"Our love is so complicated," I giggled, "But I don't care, I love you."

"I love you too Boo," he chuckled, "It rhymes."

I rolled my eyes with a grin, "You're a fool."

"But I'm your fool," he said brazenly.

"No," I shook my head, causing him to pout. I smiled, kissing him once more and then muttering softly, "You are my angel."
