All Your Little Things

Chapter 10

[Harry]

My eyes scanned the room looking into the group of people that made our management team. It's been About 2 weeks since I was last here, when they had forced me to fake date Taylor. The only reason I'd agreed to it was because I never thought I had a chance with Kim, or could ever find the courage to make a move. But thanks to the encouragement of Louis I'd somehow done it. And now I regretted allowing everyone to believe I was with Taylor more then ever.

Simons voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "You've gotten yourself into a really difficult position, Harry. You're lucky it was just a hug they caught. " I tensed up and stayed silent, not sure how to respond. "Before we continue, explain yourself."

Thankful they'd given me a chance to make them understand I plunged into my story even though I had no idea where to begin.

I slammed the door shut in frustration and ran straight into someone, blinded by my fury. Toppling over a body, I pushed myself up to stare straight into the piercing eyes of the person who I thought to be the cause of most of my problems right now.

"H-harry," the sickly soft voice made its way up to my ear and I shuddered, quickly getting off her.

"Sorry," I mumbled, avoiding her eyes as I made my way down the hall again.

"Wait, Harry." Taylor fell into step beside me trying to get my attention. "Please, hear me out." Her voice cracked on the last sentence and I couldn't help but sneak a peek at her only to find she'd stopped in her tracks with tears streaming down her cheeks. "C-can we please talk about this first? You're not the only one being affected here, Harry."

I sighed, running my fingers through my curls. Inside my head I debated whether I should give her a chance and ruled out no harm could come of it. I nodded hesitantly.

Immediately she grabbed my hand and whisked me off into the nearest empty room we could find. I snaked my arm from her grasp while she closed the door behind us and took a shaky breath.

"What do you want?" I bluntly said, a bit harsher then I intended.

Taylor broke down crying against the door, sliding down to the ground and gathering her knees close to her body.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry." My voice softening some more, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Hesitantly, I took a seat beside her and wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"I know, I-I'm just worried and scared. You're not the only one with judging fans."

I sighed and realized she was right, this whole time I got caught up on how this reflected on me and my band and completely over looked Taylor. Even though I didn't particularly like her, she hasn't done anything wrong, yet.

"Before you say anything, hear me out," she began. "I know you don't have feelings for me, I've seen the way you and Kim look at each other. It's pretty obvious that you guys would've ended up together eventually and I respect that. But I really think you should consider to continue dating me, well publicly at least."

Shaking my head defiantly I tried to stand up but she grabbed my hand and pulled me back down.

"Think about it. We've barely been together for longer then 2 weeks. Our relationship will seem sketchy and fake, even thought it is."

"Stop saying 'our relationship'. We have no relationship." I stated firmly.

"I know that! But not everyone does, and I think both our management teams want to keep it that way."

"I want to be with Kim, and Kim alone."

"Then what are you going to do?! Break up with me and start dating her?"

"Well, that's what I want to do."

"You can't Harry. If you do, everyone will think she's a slut for stealing my boyfriend."

I shot up from the ground, furious. "Don't ever call her that!" I yelled as she mirrored my movements.

"Don't be oblivious, you know that's what it'll seem like. Everyone will think she's a slut and you're a player. The media already plays you as a womanizer and you're just giving them more reason to." She jabbed her finger in my chest. "You know how vicious people can get. They will definitely break her. If you really do love her you wouldn't put her through all this hate."

I froze, everything she's telling me is true. I honestly cared for Kim and I don't want her to go through any of this. Plus, she wasn't a celebrity like me or Taylor, she wouldn't be used to all this hate. I don't know if she'd be able to cope with it. But I knew she wouldn't want me to continue dating Taylor. If I was in Kim's position I would've been pissed already. I was grateful how patient and understanding she was being but I'm not sure how long it'd last before she cracked.

"Just stay with me a bit longer, just for the cameras. And after awhile maybe we can publicly break up and then you can decide what you want." She coaxed.

I gave in to my better judgement and nodded. "Why are you doing this? If I left you, everyone would see you as the sweet little angel who was cheated on. Why are you trying to help me and Kim?" The thoughts nagged at my mind the whole time.

A warm smile made its way across her features, somehow seeming sincere this time. "I know you don't like me, it's not that big of a secret." I shifted awkwardly from foot to foot, I didn't purposely try to make her feel that way.

"Even if you hate me, I still like you and think you're a nice guy, Harry. That's why I agreed to this whole situation in the beginning. I accept the fact that you're not fond of me but that doesn't stop my feelings for you."

My eyes widened at her confession. Without even realizing it, she had closed all space between us. Her lips were suddenly hovering over mine and before I could do anything she closed the distance.

A bunch of different emotions ran through my mind. I was kissing Taylor after telling Kim I loved her, guilt washed through my body and I felt terrible. But I couldn't pull away, Taylor just confessed to me and if I did throw her off me everything would be awkward. Normally I wouldn't care but if we were going to be spending a lot more time together, I didn't want it to be awkward. I also didn't want her to get the wrong idea but I let her kiss me anyways. I stood there in shock and let her do it. When she pulled away I gaped at her.

"What the fuck?" The words slipped from my mouth before I realized it.

She ignored me and wrapped her arms around my neck and entwined her fingers in my hair while leaning in for another kiss.

This time I tried to turn my head in protest but she had a tight grip on me. After a couple of seconds she tried deepening the kiss but I denied her access. That didn't discourage her though, she pulled her lips away from mine and grazed her mouth along my jaw and found a sweet spot on my neck, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel her smirking as she lightly bit me sending another shiver down my back.

I wanted to push her away from me but my body had a mind of its own and melted under her touch. My arms snaked its way around her tiny waist as she went up for another kiss. This time I kissed back without realizing it as she tugged lightly on my curls.

Suddenly she jerked away with a giddy smile on her face. She pecked a small kiss on my cheek and stepped away.

"Thanks, Harry." Before I could get another word out she sashayed out of the room leaving me to my thoughts.

I can't believe what I just did. My knees gave in beneath me and I collapsed on the floor. I just cheated on Kim. How could I do such a thing?! But I couldn't help it, my mind just shut down, I did try to stop it but I didn't try hard enough. I had no excuses for what I what I did. Maybe Taylor thought it was a friendly kiss since she knew I liked Kim. This just proved I needed to end things with Taylor, and fast but if I did I knew it wasn't going to end well.

I just needed to be more careful around Taylor and try and stay away from her. But that would be difficult considering we were supposedly dating. I shook my head wondering what kind of mess I'd gotten myself into.
