Famous

Chapter 30

TASH'S POV

As we headed to Harry's car, our fingers intertwined, I could feel my heart start to beat faster. It had suddenly hit me that we were going on a date. An actual date. I couldn't help but remember when Romeo took me on our first date. He took me to one of those open air cinemas in Manchester. The two of us lay on the rug, throwing popcorn at each other. He was so carefree back then, so happy and content.

Now here I was going on a first date with Harry Styles. It was funny to think how much my life had changed in the last few months. But I wouldn't take it back for anything.

Harry opened the door for me and I gave him a quick smile before he jogged over to the other side. Something in the back of the car caught my eye and I turned to see a large bouquet full of purple lilies.

"Those are for you" Harry said as he saw I was looking at them and reached over to pass them to me.

"Harry they're gorgeous! And purple is my favourite colour" I looked down at the wonderful gift he had given me, "You didn't have to get me these you know"

"I know, I just wanted to" He smiled then turned serious, "Now Tash, are you ready for the time of your life".

His eyebrows were furrowed and I could tell he was trying to keep a straight face.

"Yes Harold" I laughed and he gave me a cheesy grin.

...

During the journey Harry told me how he couldn't decide between roses or lilies but we soon both decided that roses were too typical. I liked that Harry wasn't afraid to be himself, it gave me some hope that two of us would be able to develop into something that was good for the both of us.

"What are you thinking about" Harry asked, noticing my silence.

"Honestly I was thinking about how awesome you are" I giggled.

"Can't say I'm surprised" He shrugged and I rolled my eyes at him. That boy's ego was something else.

"Well it looks like we're here" Harry pulled into a parking space.

I jumped out of the car and looked around. The area was completely open and there wasn't a building in sight. Harry opened the boot and pulled out a straw hamper.

"How about a picnic then?" He asked.

"That sounds lovely."

We walked down a path to another open area with a small stream. There were a couple of people jogging and a few couples sitting by the lake, but otherwise the place was pretty empty.

"Where did you find this place?" I looked to Harry.

"One of the guys that live around here told me about it. He said it was pretty quiet so I thought you'd like it. Unless you want to go somewhere else." I could feel him starting to get uneasy.

"Harry its gorgeous. Stop worrying, I just want to spend time with you, I don't care where we go, but this place is beautiful thank you for bringing me here" I sat by him on the rug.

It really was gorgeous. I was nervous that we would surrounded by fans and paparazzi but this place felt like it was made for us. I watched as Harry fumbled around the hamper, looking for something. We still hadn't gotten to talk about where this was headed and I knew he wanted to avoid the conversation, but I wouldn't be able to get any peace until I had answers.

"Here we are" Harry's voice pulled me from my thoughts and produced two neatly wrapped sandwiches, "Now, have cheese and tomato or ham and lettuce. What would you like?"

I opted for the cheese and tomato and took a bite. It tasted amazing.

"Made by yours truly" Harry winked at me.

We spent the next hour in laughter and deep conversation. I was amazed about how open and honest Harry was. Everything with him just felt so easy and natural. For the first time in what seemed like forever I was comfortable being me. We had eaten our way through a sandwich and a packet of crisps each before Harry pulled out a box of chocolates.

"Harry Styles, these happen to be my most favourite chocolates of all time." I said as he revealed the box of Maltesers.

"Let's just say I know how to please my girl"

The way he called me his girl struck something in me and I couldn't help but frown at his words.

"What's wrong? Did I say something?" Harry must have noticed my expression.

I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye.

"What are we doing Harry?"

"What do you mean?" He reached for my hand but I pulled it away.

"You just called me your girl"

He ran a hand through his hair and let out a deep breath.

"Tash truth is, I've never felt this way about anyone before and right now I only have eyes for you. I have no intention of hurting you but I don't want to rush into anything if you know what I mean. I love spending time with you and telling you all of my crap jokes. Of course I would like to see something in the future for us but you just came out of a relationship and I respect you way too much to bring you into another one so soon"

This man was truly wonderful. Everything he said was so truthful and perfect. All of a sudden all of my feelings of being a meaningless fling were cleared. I didn't want to take whatever we had further yet but spending time with Harry bought out a happiness in me that I didn't know I had.

"Are you mad?" Harry asked.

"Of course not silly! That was all I wanted to hear. Yeah I had my insecurities and I probably always will carry them around with me but all I wanted was to know what was going on in your head" I placed my hand over his.

"You're pretty cool you know" He smiled.

"Can't say I'm surprised" I stole his line from earlier.

He laughed with me and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

PHOEBE'S POV

Ash and I walked hand in hand out of a quiet restaurant to his car. For once there were no paps and it felt nice to have a small amount of privacy once in a while.

Ash had stuck to his promise and decided to take me to lunch. Other couples would find this sort of thing normal, but having Ash take me out was a big deal and I knew he was trying hard to fix things.

We both got in the car and just as Ash was about to put his seatbelt on I climbed over the centre onto his lap. He raised his eyebrows at my bold move and I ran my fingers through his blonde hair.

I pushed my lips against his and soon our tongues were moving in perfect sync. I began to slowly rock my hips against his, earning a soft moan from him. His fingers crept up my neck and he held my jaw as we continued to move against each other. I could feel him growing beneath me and decided to climb back over into my chair.

"Hey I was just beginning to have fun?" He smirked.

"Well we can pick this up in the hotel. Harry's out so the room will be empty"

"You read my mind" He laughed and pulled out of the parking space.

"Thank you for today" I put my hand over his free hand and gave him a smile.

"I told you Phoebs, we will make this work. I love you" His eyes were focused on the road but I knew he was speaking from his heart.

"I love you too"
