WILD THING

♡ | MARINA & AND THE DIAMONDS | ♡ CHAPTER 7

'Elderly stars slide down the morning sky,

Slipping away to find a place to die,

I wonder when the night will reach it's end,

The sleep is not my friend.'

My brief vacation was now offically over.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

' No more fooling around for you.' Electra taunted.

I had rehearsals all day today, because my tour starts in a week.

Later, at rehearsals there was soundcheck and dress changes. My concerts were fabulous, there was no need for choreography or animation.

Electra became the centre of attention.

In the middle of 'Valley of The Dolls' My phone rang rather loudly. My manager and the crew looked at me rather impatiently, but allowed the call.

I took a step backstage and answered the call.

" Hello?"

" Why haven't you been answering your mobile?!" Harry burst at me.

" I'm sorry, I've been at rehearsals all day." I muttered.

" Marina, I was worried. Answer your phone from now on, understand?" He dictated.

" Yes, It won't happen again." I apologized.

" Good. Now,how come I'm finding out just now about this tour and from Niall?" He said displeased.

I puffed out.

I don't want to always fight with him, it's exasperating.

"I'm waiting." He pushed me for an answer.

I love Harry.

But, why must he always behave like such a tyrant towards me.

I got choked up.

" Marina."

Hearing the concern in his voice, it brought me to the edge. I was now in full blown tears.

I tried to muffle them up with my hand but, it did nothing.

How long have I been bottling up this sadness?

'I'm sad to the core, core, core.'

SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!

I ordered Electra.

" Baby..." Harry spoke softly.

His endearment made me weep further.

One of the backstage crew members shot me a concerned look.

I brushed my tears away and turned my attention back to Harry.

" Sorry, I don't know what came over me." I justified.

"Stop apologizing, None of this is your fault, I pushed you too far." He justified.

"It's not your fault either.You care about me, don't you?" I teased.

" I don't want you to cry.

You mean so much to me.

Listen, I'm coming over to your house later this evening and we'll spend the night together." He proposed.

Butterflies burst into my stomache in anticpation.

Harry honestly did care about me.

"Thanks, Harry. I'll see you later tonight."

"Yes, I look forward to this evening."

" Goodbye, Darling." I spoke sweetly.

" Goodbye, my love."

I hung up feeling better than I expected. Harry was the first guy who has seen my emotional side. I've really opened up to him. And I think I'm falling for him, I can't admit it to him because I still have to confront my own feelings.

I finished performing Valley of The Dolls on a somber note and retired home.

Later, I was on the phone with Niall, as I flipped through a magazine.

Niall told me One Direction was also starting tour, a couple days ahead of my tour.

Niall told me that he saw Harry today and he didn't look like his regular self.

Harry appeared to be in a state of sulk.

I prayed it wasn't caused by my breakdown. I didn't want to be the reason for his current state.

I wanted him to be happy. His happiness was mine.

" Niall, when do your rehearsals start?"

" Tommorow, afternoon. Why do you ask?"

" I want to come visit." I explained.

"Planning to surprise your boyfriend?" Niall teased.

"Don't tell him, please." I begged.

"My lips are sealed." I smiled at Niall's dedication.

After my phonecall with Niall. There was a firm knock on the door.

Harry!

My excitement increased with just the thought of him.

I swung the door open, to a smiling Harry, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.

Without another word, he embraced me firmly, catching me off guard.

I returned his embrace and kissed his jaw.

Standing this close to Harry, I saw the subdued look in his eyes.

" Harry, tell me what's wrong."I grabbed his face dearly.

He closed his eyes as if drinking in my words.

" Please, no talking.

Tonight, I want to lose myself in you." His words enticed.

I nodded my head rapidly and Harry led me to my bedroom.
