- Are you ready, sweetheart?
It was the night of my 'date' with Harry. He was going to take me to a movie. That wasn't so bad. Management reserved the whole theater so we were going to be all alone. I was hoping it would end up early.
- Yeah, I'm coming. Just gonna do a quick phone call.
I still haven't figured what I was going to say to Ryder if he ever end up knowing everything. I tought I was just going to avoid the subject until he confronted me and then I would come up with a lie at that moment. But then again, he wasn't answering my phone calls. How weird! One day ago, he was calling me non stop and he wanted to talk to me and now, he doesn't even pick up my calls. This was classic Ryder right there! He is such a jerk sometimes.
Anyway, I got over it and went downstairs. I stumbled a little over my five inches heels. My ankle wasn't completely healed enough for me to put myself in that kind of challenge but Tony told me to tone down my look a bit. " It's not good for Harry's image if he starts going out with a punky girl." This motherfucker was driving me crazy! I followed his advice anyway, since he was kind of my 'boss' now. I put on a white dress with knee high boots. I still managed to put on my typical black smokey eye make up so I could give this look a little punk rock touch. Even with all my effort, I looked like a goody two shoe. I didn't have time to change anyway so I head downstairs.
- Wow, Jamie! You look awesome! Harry said.
- You look absolutely incredible, love! Niall said.
I blushed and looked at my feet saying a weak 'thanks..'. Harry looked incredible too. He was wearing a black jacket with a white t-shirt underneat. The neck line was really low and I could see the top of his birds tattoo. He took me by the hand.
- You two look great together.
As Louis spoke up, I could feel this moment was really awkward. He was looking at his feet. I didn't really felt comfortable holding Harry's hand. We got into the big black car (I've never been a fan of cars, so whatever this car was, it was big and it was black.) and the driver took us to the movie theater. When we arrived there, there was about 20 guys with cameras. Wow, Tony made a great job to tell everyone about our date. I understand that this had to be publicize, but come on!
The driver parked the vehicle and stepped out to open our door. Harry stepped out first and I followed him. As soon as his feet hit the ground, I saw flashes and cameras turns to us. People were asking : " How are you, Harry? " " Who's this girl? " " Is it your new girlfriend? " " Are you on a date? " " What movie are you going to see? ". When Harry heard the word girlfriend, he grabbed my hand. The flashes went crazy. I was blinded by all the people that were taking pictures. What was so interesting about the fact that we were going to the movies? Come on, man! Get over yourself!
People were surrounding us, leaving almost no place to go forward. I saw our driver, who was pretty tall and strong, starting to walk in front of us, making us a way so that we can get out of the mob of people. We reached the door and the flashing stopped. We were now practicaly alone. I guess they weren't allowed to go inside. I was relieved.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I survived.
- These people are so crazy. They don't care about hurting you. All they want is their shot.
- I think they had it. Was it enough?
- I don't know. We'll see what Tony say.
As he said his name, his phone started ringing. He took the phonecall while I went to buy some popcorn and two beverages. The theater was almost empty, although a couple of fans managed to pass the gards. As I was paying for our treats, Harry was taking pictures with them. I went back to him and asked :
- What was that phone call about?
- It was Tony. He said the fans are going wild on twitter right now.
- Really? That soon?
- Yeah. You know they're pretty fast.
- I can see!
- So he said that they still don't have the photos but I told him that we held hands. He said that wasn't enough and that we needed to kiss.
- What? He said that was optional! Can't we just hug or something.
- That's what I asked him. He said he didn't know if the hug was going to be enough.
- Oh fuck! Are you kidding!?
- So, what do you say.
- Well fuck it. Let's get this over with.
I fisted the front of his t-shirt pulling him closer to me and smashed my lips against his. The kiss only lasted a couple of seconds but I could ear the crowd going crazy outside. This was going on the internet for sure. How am I supposed to explain this to Ryder. I'll have to come up with a really good story. I looked up to see Harry's face. He had his mouth wide open, kind of in shock.
- Well you're a pretty good kisser.
- Thanks. You too.
- Aaaand back to awkward again..
- Not at all! Look at how happy we look! Now let's go see that movie!
The room was empty. We had it all to ourselves.
- In fact, I don't really feel like watching a movie. How about we play a tag game.
- What?
What is he saying? Is he like four years old? Meh whatever. It could be fun.
- Yeah why not.
- Okay! You're it!
He touched my elbow and started running. I chased after him. He went into a row of seats and I caught him, touching him on the back but as I turned to get away from him, he touched my hip. I turned around again but couldn't see him. I started walking towards the center of the room and I heard a giggle. I didn't know where it was coming from. I made a step forward and felt a hand grabbing my ankle. I couldn't possibly scream louder than that. Harry was hiding under the row of seats and wanted to make me shit in my pants. My scream alerted the staff and two security guards showed up looking frightened as hell.
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, it's alright! I just scared her a little.
- A little? The walls were shaking!
- Sorry..
He made a pitiful face. I mean who can resist that face! He was cute as a button. The guards went away and we started laughing uncontrolably. When we finally stopped laughing, I touched him and yelled : 'YOU'RE IT!'. I ran as fast as I could but he still caught me and touched my shoulder. We went on playing and running like three years old until the theater's manager just kicked us out. Outside, a lot of fans were gathered waiting for their idols. The word must have spread on Twitter. Harry took pictures and signed autographs while I just stayed behind waiting. Some of them were shouting at me : 'Are you two together?' 'Are you Harry's girlfriend'. I didn't know what to answer so I just stayed quiet and ignored them. When they saw I wasn't going to answer, they started calling me names and telling me really hurtful things. That really pissed off Harry.
- Hey mate! You're talking to my friend here! Please have a little more respect.
He then took my hand and guided me to the car. As we drove off, I was the one who broke the silence.
- Thank you, for defending me. I really appreciate it.
- Oh really, love, it's nothing. You're part of the family now. We played tag in a movie theater together. I think it's safe to say that you're a really good friend now. And they were being rude to you. No one is ever rude to my friends.
- That's really sweet of you.
- No problem, sweetheart.
- Am I really? Am I one really good friend?
- Of course! And I'm not just talking for myself here. You're a close friend to all of the band. Everyone really appreciate you. Even if you come out a little harsh at first. We got to know you and I think you're really sweet.
- Well thank you. I think you're really sweet too. I've never been a huge fan of y'all but I think you are all really good persons and you're really fun to hang with.
- Oh stop it, you! You're going to make me cry!
As the driver took us back to the house, we talked and joked and laughed about everything. I was becoming closer to them each day. They were really becoming my new family. Maybe I wouldn't want to run away anymore.
