Beautiful Thing

4

"Hello again everyone. Tonight I am here with my good friend Tessa Taylor and we're going to start the karaoke trend." Harry spoke slow and excitedly into the microphone.

I was absolutely petrified. Harry handed me a microphone as I gazed around the crowd and met eyes with my sister. Her mouth was hanging open, gawking at us on the stage. I gave her a pleading look that screamed: "help me". She began to laugh and cheer loud in the crowd. I sigh, I really hope Harry picks a song that I at least know and not butcher.

"What song do you want to sing, Harry?"

He put a smirk on his face, "Do you know Endless Love, by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross."
My heart dropped and almost fell through the floor. "You mean the most epic love ballad of all time." I gulped.

He nodded and spoke to the DJ. I swear Harry Styles will be the death of me. I heard the familiar piano intro of the song. I got scared and began to make my way to get off the stage until a big hand grasped my small wrist, then I heard his familiar voice sing.

"My love, there's only you in my life. The only thing that's right." Harry sang while looking into my eyes.

I swallowed and began to sing, "My first love, you're every breath that I take, you're every step I make" the first few words came out shy, but once everyone heard, the crowd erupted in cheers and whistles which, helped me gain confidence.

Harry grinned at me which made me smile. We began to sing the next lines together, "And I, I want to share all my love with you, no one else will do."

My eyes met with my sisters as I sang and she gave me a wink.

"And your eyes, they tell me how much you care. Oh, yes you will always be, my endless love." I couldn't deny that we harmonized perfectly together. I gazed at Harry to be met with a huge smile on his face.

As I looked out in the crowd, I noticed a lot of people were paired up and dancing to our singing. I couldn't help but feel happy in this moment. I've never done anything like this. Mentally I was terrified, but yet, I was thrilled.

"Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one, our lives had just begun." Harry and I were singing to each other. I couldn't help but feel flattered but more attracted to this man in this moment. I've never felt something like this before.

"Forever, I'll hold you close in my arms, I can't resist your charms." Harry put his hand on my shoulder and began to rub reassuringly. I began to let loose a little more. I forgot I must've looked so tense on the outside.

"And love, I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure, you know I don't mind, Whoooooa, you know I don't mind" I knew when I got off this stage I would not hear the end of it from Sarah, but in this moment, I could care less.

"'Cos you, you mean the world to me. Oh, I know I know I found in you, my endless love." I knew the next part coming up after the instrumental was powerful and that made me nervous.
I walked over to Harry and whispered in his ear, "I don't think I can do the next part."

He shook his head, "Sure you can, love." His breath against my ear caused me to shiver.
I let out a deep breath and began with Harry, "Oooooooh and love" Harry looked over at me shocked. I always knew I could keep in tune, but I never tested the waters with my voice like this; I was surprised myself.

"I'll be that fool for you, I'm sure you know I don't mind. Whooooa, you know I don't mind and yes you'll be the only one. 'Cos no one can't deny this love I have inside, and I'll give it all to you my love, my endless love." We both finish belting out the last part of the song while everyone erupted in cheers. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders.

"Tess Taylor everyone!" Harry shouted. I smiled shyly at the audience. I stared at Sarah and she looked so excited.

"The stage is open for anyone to have a go at karaoke. Thanks." Harry said while leading me off the stage.

When I handed in my microphone, I turned around to face Harry with his eyebrow raised, "Now see? Wasn't that fun?"

"Well I did say public humiliation wasn't my idea of fun... but I did enjoy it," I whispered the last part.

"What was that? I don't think I heard you." Harry spoke playfully.

I huffed, "I said I enjoyed it." I received a look from Harry that screamed: "I told you so." I just shook my head and laughed.

"Oh my gosh Tess! I did not know you had that in you! And with Harry, by the way, you were great too, but wow! That was the last thing I would expect you to do!" Sarah said giddily to us, but mostly me.

"Me too Sarah," I said while scratching my head.

"You should give yourself more credit Tess, that was great," Harry spoke behind me. I gave him a small smile.

An hour passed and so did many karaoke performances by many intoxicated celebrities. It was hilarious to watch. My favorite had to be my sister joined by Ariana Grande and Hailee Steinfeld singing "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. Such a classic.

The night was coming to an end. I walked around like a lost puppy trying to find my sister which was interrupted when someone bumped into me.

"Oops, sorry. Oh hey Tess, looking for someone?" I gazed into his green eyes. Of course, I had to run into Harry.

"Hey, Harry. Yeah, I'm looking for Sarah. Have you seen her?" I asked.

"Last time I have seen her, she was heading home with her bodyguard I believe," Harry said while motioning to the door with his hands.

I gasped. Did Sarah really leave without me? I pulled out my phone to see a text from my sister:

From: Sarah

Hey sis, I have gone back to the hotel with Rob! Don't worry about me and have fun tonight xo ;)

I sigh, "Yeah you're right, I have a text from her. She left about an hour ago. I was just getting ready to leave."

"Hey, I was just about to leave too. I can drop you off if you'd like?" Harry offered.

I bit my lip and thought about it for a minute. It wouldn't hurt to get a ride back, I mean, he knows this city better than I do. I smiled, "Sure, why not."

I followed Harry to the parking garage next to the nightclub. He leads me to a black Range Rover like the one I own back home.

"Hey, I have the same one back home." I smiled as I told him. I worked hard to buy the thing. I bought it before I was hired by my sister's management.

He smiled and unlocked the vehicle. I hopped in the passenger side and was greeted by the smell of new leather which lead me to the thought that this must be new.

Within five minutes, we had pulled out of the parking garage and was on the road.

"So Tess, where are you from?" Harry questioned me.

"Well I live in LA right now with my family because of my sister's career, but, we are originally from Ontario in Canada," I spoke slowly.

"Oh so you're a Canadian girl, eh?" He spoke, stressing the "eh".

I laughed, "Yes I am. Where are you from Harry? I mean you're obviously from the UK. I can tell that by the accent."

Harry smirked at me, "Yes I am. I'm from a small town called Holmes Chapel. It's in Chesire, but I currently have a place in London."

I nodded my head. I didn't travel much, even though I had the power to do so. I've always been stuck with fear and being a coward; makes me realize how much time I've wasted in my life. I have never experienced a lot of things that people my age have experienced.

"Being here now is making me realize that I'm not familiar with the geography in the UK. I wish I traveled more." I spoke my thoughts to Harry. It seemed weird at first because I never open up to someone the first time I meet them. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe just Harry seemed like a trustworthy guy.

"Why don't you?" He asked curiously.

"Because I'm afraid." I sighed. Harry furrowed his eyebrows as his eyes were on the road. "I'm afraid because all my life I had lived quiet and reserved. Always afraid to ask questions, be rebellious, and just... live." I quietly said the last part.

"I see. Maybe you just need a little push." Harry looked over towards me.

"I always get little pushes from my sister." I play with my fingers as I continued to vent to him.

Harry went quiet for a few moments. He looked like he was thinking hard on something "Well, why don't you spend the day with me tomorrow?"

I gasped. Mentally I was going crazy. Did he just ask me to spend the day with him? "What? Really? I don't know. I mean what do you have in mind?" I spoke quickly.

"You see Tess, the simple pleasures of life are left unplanned. Just go with the flow."

Every day I had lived by schedules and plans. Never had I ever went outside of them. It was like an unspoken rule I had. Always being on time, never late, and always followed the same routine, every day.

And it was that moment I realized, Harry was right.

When I was reading them singing endless love, I kept thinking Tess was James Corden and it was the carpool karaoke all over again! It made slightly less intimate but more humorous. Also I realized Tess and I are very similar for 3 reasons.

1. We both are named Tess

2. We both love Fleetwood Mac ( for me it's more obsess over than love really. Also there should be a duet of them singing you make loving fun, I need that in my life! )

3. We both find Harry attractive (;

Great job with the writing by the way! So far it's ridiculously cute, I am in love!

Love this!!!!
