IRIS
Laughter, It's all we were coming from the both of us on this trampoline. "Let go of me!" I screamed as I was over your shoulder.
"Oh cause I can Just-" he didn't get to finish the sentence, he let go as I felt the impact of the trampoline hit my body, not even a second past where I felt Harry's body fall on top of me.
"Holy shit Harry" I said laughing trying to catch my breath.
"sorry Ris I guess that's what you get for not telling me how much you've missed me, you alright though?" Harry asked in concern, I smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for coming to visit. I've missed you." I admitted.
"Ah so she did miss me. I thought she had been replaced by another." Harry said as he Laid flat on his back pretending to be stabbed.
"Oh hush you could never be replaced" I said as I yanked the gray beanie off his head as his brown hair spilled over his face, I crawled over to push his hair back, but pushing his hair back turned to me caressing his head.
"C'mere" Harry said as he pulled me into a hug which I willingly gave into too.
"What do you think would've happened if I never moved from Seattle to Holmes chapel?" I looked at him waiting for his response as he thought for a moment.
"Well first off I wouldn't be laying down on this trampoline with my best friend, but also I would never be where I am right now, being in a band, I never would have met the boy, you were the one that got me to audition for the X factor and I owe it all to you."
It sounds kind of scary, you know hearing him say he owes it all to me. I wouldn't say he should owe it all to me but I know I encouraged, he did the rest. He always had this spark in him, like he was meant to be in the entertainment industry.
"I'll say I encouraged you, when are you leaving?" I asked.
"Tomorrow." he mumbled
"What?! Already you've only been here for 3 days?" I wasn't ready for him to leave again, he barely visits home anymore. I just miss my bestfriend and I wasn't ready for him to leave. It feels like another part of me just dissolves.
"Paul called me and said we had to reschedule a show in california, it was last minute, but i'll be back in no time again!" he said as he pulled me in close.
"I promise." his lips brushed against mine, his right hand met the side of my cheek holding it, before I knew it I leaned in and conjoined our lips with a small innocent kiss, I pulled back before it could be anything more.
"Come on, this silence is getting overrated, I need to go buy more fabric for my project before my professor is literally on my ass about this dress." I said as I ruffled his hair.
"Miss fashion designer in fashion school eh? Tell me why you didn't do your part of the deal we had?" Harry asked.
Me and Harry had made a deal. The deal was that if he auditioned for X Factor that I would try modeling. I've always wanted to model. Harry and I have always wanted to be in the entertainment industry but it turns out it worked out for him better than it did me. I did go to an audition for modeling.
I even got called back, it's just the nerves I had just made me think I wasnt ready or even qualified to be a model. So I chose a different route, Fashion. DId I know anything about fashion? No. So I went to fashion school to become a stylist. I mean it's close to modeling. Who knows, maybe I'll be confident one day to try modeling again.
"I don't know, didn't think I could pull it off, but i've also really wanted to go to school H." I sighed.
"I don't blame you, dropping out of school when I was 16 was very....strange. You're 19 in your first year of fashion school, ur beating me at something!" Harry said as we walked to the car.
"Wrong side american." Harry teased.
"You know after 9 years of living in this damn country I still haven't got used to that." I said as I walked to the right side of the car where the driver's seat would be in America.
I moved to Holmes Chapel when I was 10. I lived in Seattle before we moved. I loved it, but my dad had gotten a really good job here. Which i'm thankful he took because I love it here so much more and I wouldn't have met Harry. From the first day we first met, we bonded instantly.
We went to the store and got the fabric I needed for this dress. This dress is a pain in the ass and I hope it turns out good. This is the best sketch I've done this year so I hope it pays off.
"What's the Project this time?" Harry asked.
"To create a dress that one of the models will like for it to be in a magazine. Biggest one yet and I'm shitting bricks." I say obviously sounding stressed out.
"Can I see your sketch?" Harry asked once again.
"Yeah it's on the counter over there." I said as I pointed to the left of me.
Harry walked to the way I directed him too, I saw him peer down and cover his mouth. Knowing Harry is brutally honest half of the time scared me, oh this shit is ugly if he's making that face.
"What, what is it?" I've never been so nervous to hear a response from harry especially if this is such a big project I would hate to redo it.
"Iris Raine Sapino-Torres."
"Oh my god you used my full name. It's ugly just to say that. I'll make a new ske-" Harry cut me off before I could say anything else.
"Iris, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. If this model doesn't like this, well shame on them!" Harry said.
"You know what, I'm just going to bed. I can't with this stress it's driving me mad. You can Leave whenever you'd like, just come by tomorrow I want to leave you at the airport" I think I just need a break to relax. I'm always working non stop, yeah. A break is nice.
"I will don't worry." Harry said standing in the same spot where my sketch was.
With that I go to my bedroom knowing that this will hit a little better than the others.
AIRPORT
"Okay you're sure you're not forgetting anything?" I said while me and Harry were walking to his gate.
"No, for the lastime Ris i'm not forgetting anything." Harry said
"I just don't want you to forget anything, you know what if you forgot a shirt you really like, matter of fact I think you did, let's go home and get it!" I grabbed his hand and tried to pull him away from his gate.
"Ris, please don't do this. You know I'd stay if I wanted too" Harry sighed
"So you don't want to stay?" I said in disbelief
"What are you on about?" Harry said as he furrowed his brows in confusion
"You just said 'If I wanted to stay', so you don't want to stay?" I raised my eyebrow waiting for a response, while he pursed his lips in a line and stayed silent.
"I like being on the road, Iris. I may hate it sometimes but I do really love what I do." Harry said.
"Now Boarding flight to Los Angeles, California."
Harry looked back at his gate to see everyone boarding.
"That's my que. Hey. I'll always come back to you, okay? I'm also a call away." Harry said as he pushed some of my hair back and cupped my face with his to hand, as I had tears falling down my face.
"Please don't cry, okay." Harry said as he pulled me into a tight hug which I received.
I pulled away from the hug as I brought my hand up to his face so it would make contact with his cheek, I got on the tips of my toes to kiss his lips, he kissed back. It's risky knowing anyone could snap a picture any minute but I couldn't help it.
"I should probably get going." Harry said as we both pulled away from the kiss we just shared.
"Yeah I don't want you missing your flight, Just, don't be a stranger." I said as I gave him one last hug.
"I won't. I promise."
And with that he was off.
Happy first chapter! hope you enjoyed it:)
