I'm Sorry.

2. Secrets Are Starting

Lilly's POV
I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it not being able to come up with a sensible excuse.
Harry said, "It, just happened, don't tell anyone, Lou..."
Liam and Niall walked through the door and Liam asked, "Don't tell anyone what?"
I slapped my forehead with my hand and Louis said, "Young Harry here has just kissed our little fan on the lips."
Liam gasped and I said, "I'm not little!"
Louis said, "We all are at least eight inches taller than you. You are small."
I rolled my eyes, stepped down from the little ledge, and said, "Look, either way, it's not like Harry was doing anything illegal!"
Liam said, "Well, it can be illegal, given the age gap."
I said, "Then, we can all just forget it. Please, if word got out my whole life would change!"
They nodded and went into their own conversations. I looked at the view again and Harry asked, "Did you like the kiss?"
I pulled him away from the boys to away corner where I could talk to him at eye level and I whispered, "Yeah, I did, but we can't date, Harry. We are six years apart, I would be torn to shreds by my friends and One Direction's credibility will be ruined!"
He said, "So, I really like you and I want to date you, Lilly. Age is a number, maturity is a choice. You said it yourself, people who don't know you assume you're like a nineteen twenty year old or a senior in high school!"
He took my hand and I said, "Harry, I like you, a lot, I've loved you before I knew the real you, but I just can't do it. My mom probably wouldn't approve, my friends would like me for whom I'm dating more than myself, and I would be torn to shred by Directioners. I may not have any social media, but I still will be torn to shreds." I touched his cheek and he grabbed my hand, kissing my palm.
He said, "If you're mum approves of it, can we try?"
I said, "Only the guys can know, and Paul. This is a secret, I don't want people to know who I am."
He smiled and I said, "Don't be so egotistical, Harold. This is only if my mother approves."
He nodded saying, "Yeah, but I still like the thought of you being my girlfriend."
I rolled my eyes and then my mom came to pick me up. Harry was talking to her as I was gathering my things.
He said, "Mrs. Black, I would like your permission to date your daughter."
She was taken back. She said, "Harry, you're six years older than her. That's illegal!"
He said, "Age is a number, maturity is a choice. You know that with your daughter. She's more mature than Louis, the prankster of the group, and the oldest. Please, I really like her, I want to get to know her."
She crossed her arms saying, "What happens when you go on tour, leave her at home. She's tried a relationship where a boy went to a different school and that ended a month into the relationship..."
He said, "He didn't know how to treat her then. She's a beautiful girl who deserves to be treated like a princess. From everything that she's done to everything she's said. I know she's special and amazing. I've never met anyone who has treated us so normally and made us feel normal. I want to date her, but I want your permission."
She said, "You're going to destroy her life, she doesn't want to be attacked by fans! Her reputation and credibility would be ruined!"
He said, "We wouldn't go public. The press would have a field day, only the lads, our manager, her, you, and whomever you want to tell would know. I don't want her to be sucked into this life either!"
She thought for a second and said, "You have my permission, but if you break her heart, I will hurt you. You may be famous Harry Styles from One Direction, but you'll treated like a normal guy."
He smiled saying, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
She nodded and yelled to me, "Lilly, I'll be in the car, please hurry!"
I was grabbing my things and Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me to the balcony, away from the guys as they were saying bye to my mom.
He got down on one knee and asked, "Will you, Lilly Diana Black, go on a date with me?"
I looked at him shocked saying, "She agreed?!" He nodded and I said, "Alright." He picked me up by the waist, swung me around, and pecked my lips. I giggled and smiled all the way home.
