Yellow

"So what have you been up to lately?" Harry asked as we sat in a booth at our favorite diner.
"Nothing really. Like I said before I do smaller photoshoots around town for like families and senior pictures, that sort of thing. I did a couple for this band in Manchester that's starting out which was pretty cool I guess. They have some good music and I go see their shows when they're close." I explained, taking a sip of my soda. "What about you? I heard your art really took off a few months ago."
"Yeah, it did. I'm actually in the process of opening up a gallery in New York at the moment." He smiled.
"Really? That's amazing, Harry. New York would be a great spot." I said to him, genuinely happy for him but at the same time I knew that he would have to spend some time there getting things situated how he wanted them. That also meant a lot of time away from here.
"Thanks. I'm heading over there next week if you want to come with." He said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Me? Go to New York? I don't know, Harry. I've never been out of england or on a plane for that matter."
"Come on, Charlie. You have to learn to live a little. I know you've always wanted to go there and I can make time for us to explore the city. Besides I would be right there with you and I'll make sure nothing happens." He assured me as he reached over with his pinky held up.
I bite my lip and stare at him for a moment, wondering if I should go or not. My heart was screaming at me to say yes, but my head told me to say no because I couldn't completely trust him just yet.
"I'll think about it." I say finally just as our food was coming.
He sighed softly but nodded and pulled his hand back, thanking the waitress politely before taking a bite of one of his fries.
"Take your time... but know that I would really love to have you there with me." He said softly.
I just nodded and continued to eat my food as we changed the conversation to reminiscing about memories we've had together.
"Remember that time we skipped school to go see Coldplay in London?" Harry asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. It was your birthday and I bought you tickets without realizing that it was on a school day." I laughed softly and shook my head.
"Our mums were pissed but it was definitely worth getting grounded for a month. It was one of the best days of my life."
"Mine too." I smiled shyly and looked away from his gaze as he smiled back at me.
*Flashback*
"I can't believe I spent two hundred on those tickets and we can't even go." I huffed as I walked down the hallway of the school with Harry.
"Who said we can't? Let's just go. Our show starts at one. We can still make it if we leave now." Harry said as he stopped to look at me.
"You mean skip school? Are you crazy? My parents will kill me." I said.
"Come on. Please? It's my birthday present and I really want to go." He pouted, holding onto my shoulders to make me stay put and look at him.
I let out a small sigh then finally give in.
"Fine."
~.:o:.~
A train ride and three hours later we arrived in London, taking a cab to the O2 Arena where the show was taking place. There were two shows today and we had the matinee tickets, front row I might add. I spent a very stressful thirty minutes on my computer to get these tickets and I would be damned if I let them go to waste. Not to mention the fact that it took me ages to save up for them. Seventeen year olds didn't really make that much at a bakery so it was a miracle that I managed to get enough for the two tickets on the exact date of Harry's eighteenth birthday.
We got to our seats after buying some food to eat before the show started, and I felt a little nervous about how my parents would take this but it would definitely be worth it.
"Hey, it'll be fine, love. I'll tell them that I dragged you with me and made you come to the show. By the way, thank you for this. These seats are incredible and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this." Harry said happily.
I looked over at him and couldn't help but smile softly. Any punishment was worth seeing that smile on his face and the sparkle in his eyes. I leaned over and kissed his cheek gently, unable to help myself. He paused in mid bite and looked over at me, a little shocked by what I just did but smiled anyway as his cheeks flushed a little to match my own.
When the show finally started after the opening band played we both stood up and got up as close as we could to the stage, screaming as the lights went out and Coldplay came on stage. We sang our hearts out to every word and danced, enjoying every minute.
When I heard the intro to 'Yellow' start to play I smiled, excited to hear my favorite song being played live. I was too caught up in the music that I didn't see Harry shift to stand behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist as his chin rested on my shoulder. My cheeks flushed from the contact but I relaxed into him, placing my hands on his as we swayed while the music played.
"...Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you..."
I smiled, listening as Harry's soft voice sung the words into my ear. My focus remained on his voice instead of Chris Martin's and I closed my eyes, wishing I could just stay in this moment forever.
*End Flashback*
"We should do that again some time. Maybe we'll go see Ed Sheeran next time. I'll buy." Harry smiled.
"I think I would cry." I laugh softly and shake my head. "That would be fun though."
I had to admit the thought of going to another concert with him like that was amazing. Before we could say anything else my alarm went off to remind me to get Jenna's dress to the church.
"Well, as much as I would love to stay and chat we have a wedding to get to." I said as I pulled out some money to pay, but of course Harry was already up at the counter paying for both of ours.
I playfully rolled my eyes and left the tip then walked out with him as we went our separate ways to get ready for the wedding.
