Mind Games

Chapter 8

Paul lets go and the man runs faster than before, kicking sand on a sleeping Liam’s back, causing him to sit up and curse him out, “What the fuck you grimy shit, fuck you!” 

“Whoa there, tiger,” Louis laughs at his reaction, “ He’s gone. You’re still beautiful.” he sarcastically remarks. 

Liam rolls his eyes, putting his sunglasses back on and laying down. 

“Hey Paul” I smile sweetly returning to my tanning. 

“Brooklyn, hope you’re doing alright. I’m sure Harry has annoyed the shit out of you lately.” he jokes. 

“Maybe just a bit.” I turn my head to look at Harry and wink. 

He scoffs, pretending to be offended and turns back to Paul, 

“Good to see you man, how’s the family?” Harry gives him one of those manly hand shakes as Paul takes a seat next to him. 

“Great, they’re coming to the show in Atlanta later on.” he smiles proudly as he talks about his family.

I wonder if I can ever talk about a family the way he does; later on of course. 

I’ve thought about it before, if Harry and I would ever get married. I was sure one day we would, up until everything came crashing down. I never thought the dreams were an interference but since there’s apparently more, I’m not so sure anymore. I can’t stand the thought of not being with Harry, thinking about this enrages me. The only way Harry and I would ever break up is if someone or something tries to come between us. We’ve been in that ‘honey moon’ stage since day one and it hasn't faded one bit. We are completely infatuated with each other, I just hope it stays that way. My mind trails off to Madame Jeux. What is she going to be like? God I hope she’s nice, it’ll make everything she has to say much easier. Madame is such an old sounding name, she’s probably a cute little old woman with dark hair and colored in eyebrows. I’m a bit excited to meet her now. 

H.P.O.V

 “What you thinking about, love?” I catch Brooklyn off guard. 

“Where we’re going later.” she seems embarrassed to admit. 

I turns towards Paul, “That reminds me, Brooklyn and I are going out later. Can you and another guard drive us? I’m sure Niall will fill you in with everything thats going on.”

I turn to Niall stuffing his face with a huge sub. “Uh huh” he mumbles through his food.

“Chew, you animal!” I kick a bit of sand to his feet. 

“Get sand in my food I’ll kill ya.” he threatens me. 

I throw my hands up in defeat, you don't come between Niall and his food. 

“I’ll drive you, yeah.” Paul agrees. 

Brooklyn flips over, asking me to put tanning oil on her stomach and legs. 

She’s doing this on purpose now, I know it. She knows how weak I am around her. 

After about 30 minutes later, I suggest we go in the water. 

I have the idea to pick up Brooklyn and I fling her long torso over my shoulder, you know, like the movies. 

Her shrieks and giggles make me smile as I reach the water, but just as I’m about to put her down, I can’t step into the water.

What the.. 

Brooklyns P.O.V

This can’t be happening, not now. Not with all these people around. Everything is frozen again but… Harry isn't?
