Olivia's POV

Life as Harry Styles' girlfriend was crazier then I expected it to be. Charlotte started the rumor about us dating saying she was at the photo shoot and Harry told her I was his girlfriend which was correct, but we hadn't confirm it with the public yet. When it was just a rumor, fans would come up to me on the streets and ask me questions. They would always want to know if we were really dating or not, I just did my best to not confirm or deny anything. I wanted Harry to be the one to says we were dating.

Finally after about two weeks of our secret stars and late night phone calls, Harry had an interview with the boys and he told me he was going to confirm our relationship. Harry was so sweet throughout everything, he explained to me that I would receive hate on Twitter and the paparazzi would chase me even more than they do now with it being only rumored, but it was worth going through all of it just to be with Harry. He truly was my dream man, and if being with him meant having to have thick skin then I could manage.

I grabbed a bowl of cereal and turned on the tv to watch the interview. I wanted to just hear Harry's calming voice too, it's hard for me to go long periods of time without him. Thank God this interview was in New York because after he is coming to my small apartment and we would get to spend time together. I hear the music to the show begin and give the tv my full attention. This will be interesting......

"We are here with One Direction's Harry, Liam, Niall, and Louis." The interviewer lady wearing a tight purple dress that surprisingly from my collection I designed, said tot he camera. The crowd's cheers and clapping could be heard very loudly, everyone was excited for this interview. It will be the first interview the boys have done since the rumor about Harry and I came out.

As the interviewer continued to chat and ask questions I only would perk up when Harry would answer in his slow, low sounding voice. Its so soothing.....

"So Harry, the rumor mill has been busy making stuff up for you, especially about a certain designer. You and one Miss Olivia Benson has been rumored to be dating. I want the truth, are you two a couple or not?" The interviewer asked making my heart rate pick up, and me place my bowl of cereal on the coffee table on in front of me.

I saw Harry take a deep breath and begin to speak....

"Yes. We are dating, and we are very happy." Harry spoke with a delicate smile crossing his lips. The interviewer and audience all gasped at once. This is the first time Harry has ever confirmed a relationship he has ever been in to the public. This is a big step for us, it means thing are really real. This just got a lot more complicated....

I mean I knew a long time ago that I was falling for Harry, but I had never said it out loud to him or anyone else, for that matter. It has been great with him, he gets me and makes me laugh even with his stupid jokes of his. We haven't been dating all that long, but I can't help but think maybe this is what the old man in the cane was trying for tell me to wait for. I did and here I am with.....possibly, my soulmate.

My job has taken a back seat to my relationship with Harry and, to be honest, that is extremely scary to me. I freak out just think about how Harry has changed my life. How I let him change it. But I'm happier now than ever, this is a good thing. Right?

This interview continues as normal despite the bomb that was dropped on the poor fans. After some time the interviewer finishes and I walk I tot he kitchen. I place my bowl in the sink and stand there with my hands on the counter, thinking about how the world knowing now that Harry and I are a couple will change my life. I'm going to need more security to help me leave the house now than I have already. People are going to say rude and nasty things that I will have to ignore, but Harry will always be there for me at the end of the day. I think I-

My thoughts are interrupted by the door to my apartment open. I gave Harry a key so he could come over or stay with me whenever he was in New York. He must have finally gotten here...

I make my way out of the kitchen into the tiny entryway of my apartment. I see Harry taking off his coat and shoes.

"Hi" I say in a small voice.

"Hey" Harry says with a tired smile. He makes his way towards me and wraps his hands around my body, resting them comfortably on my waist. Harry bent down and gave me a thoughtful kiss, I love kissing him. He makes me feel so safe...

"I saw the interview." I say after we finally pull away from each other and sit down on the couch together. "I'm glad you told them."

"Me too. It feels good to just be able to corn out and say it. Plus, the fans deserve to know." He said cuddling up with me to get warm.

I didn't even realize I was this tired, but sitting on the couch liked his with Harry is making my eyes extra heavy. I slowly let them close, but before falling asleep I feel Harry kiss my head and mumble something into my hair. I couldn't quite make out what he was saying but it was short, whatever it was. And it began with "I". Before I could think about it anymore I fall asleep comfortably next to Harry, the way it should be.
