Harry's POV.

"What went wrong Niall, I love her Naomi can see that. I love her you can see that. I love her, even her brother can see that. But her? Isn't it that obvious that I love her."

"Harry you need to chill okay. After all its Natalie. You know she needs time. She knows you Harry. Just talk to her." The lad said trying to comfort me though it didn't make much of a difference yet I appreciated it.

"You need to talk to her." He repeated.

"Yeah bruv." I said.

We left the room, treading towards the room the girls were in.

Natalie's POV

"Hey..... Hey..."

I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

I saw a blur image , which slowly cleared. It was Naomi.

"Oh thank ME you're fine." She placed her fingertips on her chest and took a deep breath.

"What happened?" I inquired, for I remembered absolutely nothing.

"You fainted."

"I what..." I tried to get up from the bed.
Pushing me back under the blankets she said.

"As you fainted, Harry panicked , Niall called for me."

"Where's Harry?"

"He is....." She paused and squinted as she continued in a sarcastic tone,
"Wait my lady first  you need to eat something.
I know why you fainted."

"What!"

Naomi knew everything.Did she know what was happening, the compromising position we were in. Did she know it all?

"Yeah. What do you think ? I haven't seen you all day." She said walking around the bed ranting.

"You did." I lost all hopes, I thought she'd tell mom and dad, and they'll , oh my God. I couldn't even imagine, maybe they will not let me go to school anymore, maybe they will deport me to India themselves. Oh No!

"Yeah. You think you could escape from my eyes."

"Huh?" I grabbed the blanket tighter.waiting for my penance to be declared.

"Didn't eat anything all day, and what else do you expect." She ranted. Then handing over to me a plate full of fruits she said like maa would.

"Have this."

HARRY'S POV.

I heard Naomi's voice, I understood she woke up and was fine. I also knew, not eating all day was the reason she fainted. I realised, she couldn't grasp the words I uttered. I knew it was too much for her. I knew, if I didn't talk to her, our everything would be at stake. So I walked in,

"Hey love, You alright?" I walked up to her.
Both the girls looked at me.

Niall stood by the door.

"Harry, you here. See Natalie, you were just asking about him and here he is." Naomi comforted me.

As soon as Natalie saw me. She tried to get up. She had terror filled eyes. I guess she thought I would spill all the beans in front off the two. So I said,
"Hey, Naomi do you mind leaving us alone?"

"Sure, CURLY stay, BLONDIE leave."

Woah, that was easy , I never expected Naomi would be so easy on me. I walked up to her. I held on to her pale icy cold hands, intertwining our fingers together. She didn't fight me this time, she accepted it without any hesitation.

"Nat? Are you ok? Are you feeling okay now?"
Natalie just nodded, to indicate she was feeling okay. She looked down, as if she was guilty of a crime. She wasn't, she could never be. She was as sterling as angel.

"Uhm Can we talk?" I said almost pleading, so that I could explain what I just did. She didn't make eye contact with me, it was as if she didn't want to even look at me.

"Did I say something wrong??? I mean don't you feel the same about me? Look I thought that we had something, I mean ... I don't know how to explain it you."

"Harry please,"

that's all she said , did she really not like me, was I too early to confess my love for her , all these thought were running through my mind when she said, " Nat I thought I meant something to you, this past year, you've been my catalyst, you've been my motivation, in toughest of times. Was that all just make believe, or was I really blind to fall madly in love with you." I couldn't control anymore, I let go of her hands, stood up to walk away, when she grabbed my right hand by her left one, still looking on the ground still avoiding the blood eye contact. 

"Darn it Nat, I ain't a dimwit, I love you is it so hard for you to understand."

"Harry .... I l-Li-ike y-o-uu." She looked up slowly stuttering her way through the sentence, and that confirmed that there was a 'But' coming up .

"But my parents wouldn't allow me to date you, or any other guy at the moment, they really want me to focus on my studies now." She paused gulped in a breath and continued, " It doesn't matter what I want, whom I love or with whom I want to be, they want me to get into Princeton for University, and if  that doesn't happen they will be devastated, and I can't let them down."

"So let's not tell them." I suggested, sneaking out with Natalie that's should be exciting, I absobloodylutely could do that, if she agreed. She gave me the obvious sceptical look.

"Yeahhh that's a good idea." Niall said popping his head in.

"What are you doing in here, can we get some privacy?" Natalie stated unexpectedly.

"Yes of course you can and you will!" Naomi entered the room.

"I'll help you, we'll help you." Niall said reassuring both of us.

"But wait, what about your future husband ???"

"My what? Did Naomi tell you that???" She squinted.

"Yeah, you're supposed to marry the bloke and that you're already engaged. Wait where's you're ring?" I looked for a ring, but failed to find it.
I then looked at Naomi , "I lied" she said giving a wide smile.

"C'mon Bradley Cooper you know me, I mean you love her I can see that, she loves you I can see that, You love her Niall can see that , she love you Niall can see that too. You love each other even Noah can see that....., but you both. Are you both that blind? And you won't tell her, so you like needed a push that's all."
I looked down and smirked thinking I was blessed to have someone like these two idiots in my life.

" You know Naomi, for someone who claims she doesn't believe in love, you sure know how to bring two hearts together, innit." I replied.
"We'll call me Cupid,mate." She faked her beat Brit Accent.

"Nat, seeing everything is settled, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" I asked anxiously.

I offered my hand to Natalie, before looking at me she looked at Naomi for her consent when she nodded and mouthed "GOOO!!" Nat smiled and gave her hand in my hand. "I would very much like that, although we need to stay away in front of family member."

" and relatives and guest, they are all gossip mongers." Naomi added.

Though we couldn't dance like nobody was around, cause they were. We tried not to just dance during our performance but perform during it. I had the time of my life with her, she was mine forever and always.

Natalie's POV

I said yes.Yes.For the first time, in my life I didn't actually care about the consequences , at that moment Harry was my only priority. I knew everyone in my family was quite comfortable with Harry's presence except for Bhai. So I thought of telling Harry to stay at an arm's length from my brother.

The performance was over many performances were yet to be performed. When the others were going up on stage I felt I didn't hold his hand anymore. He was nowhere near. I looked for him in every possible direction.

Harry's POV.

After the performance I suddenly got a call, to my surprise it was mom. Mom already knew I was at Nat's place, there was no reason for her to be worried, I saw Nat was busy with Naomi so I pulled my hand out slowly from hers and picked up the phone.

"Heya Mum."

I didnt get a reply.

"Mum, you fine?"

"Harr.."

Her voice wasn't clear. "Mom, wait I-I-I...."

I bashed against somebody. "Woah. I'm sorr..."

After I looked at her, I told mom.
"Mum, I'll give you a call in a minute."I cut the call.I stared at her. She stared back. I saw Noah Peter's standing beside her.I heard Natalie's voice,

"You're here, Good thing. Harry meet.."

I didnt let her complete.

"Gemma." I said with tear filled eyes.
"Harry!" she couldn't speak either. I looked at Noah and told her, "So you two a thing?" She didn't say anything. I knew it would be of no use if I stood there and spoke to her. So I took her hand and walked back home. She didn't dare to resist.
