Deceiving the Public Eye: Emma Watson X Reader (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8

"Alright (Y/n), you have five seconds to explain yourself." Saoirse told him, slapping the news article on the table.

"Explain what...?" He asked, confused about what was going on.

"That you're dating Florence! You're lucky Emma hasn't seen this yet!"

"I'm not dating Florence! Where did you hear that from?!"

"Read it!" She pointed to the magazine.

(Y/n) looked at the article and read what it had to say.

'Are Florence Pugh and (Y/n) (L/n) dating? The two were seen at a bar in Massachusetts sharing drinks and laughing, both very close and intimate. Pugh has been tagged in many of (L/n)'s recent Instagram posts, and Pugh has posted about him as well. Many fans have rumored them to be together, but no comment from both (L/n) and Pugh, or any of their management. Stay tuned for our next update by subscribing to our magazine!'

"Ummm...." (Y/n) mumbled, reading over the article again. "We aren't dating. We went out for drinks as friends and that is all we'll ever be, just friends."

"Well, let's hope Emma doesn't see this." Saoirse muttered, but luckily she had overheard the conversation and didn't need to worry, since Florence and (Y/n) were just friends after all, and he confessed he liked her and not Florence.

Once that was settled, they went off to hair and makeup. They got ready for their scenes.

Filming took a while, but once they finished (Y/n) had decided to go out for dinner. He invited the cast, and everyone accepted the invite. (Y/n) sent them the restaurant's address and the time for their reservation before getting ready for dinner.

Once everyone arrived at the restaurant, they were seated and ordered drinks. Emma was sitting next to (Y/n), and the two were chatting and drinking wine together. After a few minutes, Emma noticed a woman from another table keep glancing at (Y/n).

The table soon ordered their food, and Emma looked over at the other table to see the same woman from before still staring at (Y/n).

"I don't like how she's staring at you. Like a prize to be won." She grumbled to (Y/n).

"Sorry, it's one of the downsides to being so drop dead handsome! They can't take their eyes off me." He joked, making her laugh before she rested her head on his shoulder.

"So, you two are finally a couple?" Saoirse asked, and they shook their heads.

"We've both agreed to take it slow. Just for a little bit, since we're filming and all that." (Y/n) explained.

"Alright then, as long as you two get together eventually I'm happy." Eliza mumbled.

"I'll ship (Y/n) and Emma until the day I die." Saoirse added, making the table laugh. "Zip it. You do too, Timothee!" She accused, making him raise his hands in mock surrender.

Emma rested her head back on his shoulder, unknowing of the paparazzi taking pictures of them. They really couldn't catch a break. Their dinner ended and everyone went back to their apartments to go to bed for the night.

The next morning, (Y/n) checked his phone to see three texts. One from Timothee, one from Saoirse, and another from Eliza. Each text had a link to the same article. (Y/n) read through the article wondering why he was getting sent it.

'Is (Y/n) (L/n) cheating on Florence Pugh? (L/n) was seen yesterday sharing an intimate dinner with Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson. (L/n) has been rumored to be dating Pugh, but neither of them have confirmed or denied these rumors. Watson has been tagged in many of (L/n)'s newest instagram posts, which leads us to believe the two are together, or that (L/n) is cheating on Pugh. No comments from any of them, stay tuned for more updates by subscribing to our magazine!'

"They're literally forgetting she was there! It wasn't a date or anything! Everyone else was there!" (Y/n) groaned to himself, responding to the three texts.

Once he got ready, they all went to set for the day and filmed their scenes.
