Where it all began

Chapter 9

Harry's POV

"Mr Hurley will see you now" Amanda said in her dull tone. She always had that fake smile, pretending to enjoy being here. 

I was caught out of my thoughts of Tiarna going on a date with that guy from last night. It made me furious yet made my way into his office. His office was lifeless. There was hardly any splashes of colour except for the big painting behind him, that was mostly red and black. He was joined by his 'posse' is what I like to call it. 

"Hello Harry, how are you today?" He spoke, standing up and holding out his hand. 

"Good thanks, yourself?" I said politely, shaking his hand in return. 

"I'm swell, thank you. So we have a proposition. I'll let Kelly take it from here.." He said, handing it over to the stick figure.

"Thank you sir. Hello Harry" What is with all the shaking with hands? Can we please just get on with it?!  

"Hi"

"We won't take up much of your time here this evening, so we'll get straight to the point. We'd like you for you to take Taylor Swift on a couple of dates, for the publicity of coarse. We want it to look believable, can you do that?" She said sternly, showing absolutely no emotion. 

"It won't matter what I say, you won't bother considering how I feel about it!" I almost yelled. 

"We're sorry Harry, but we're just thinking about the extra-"

"The extra money you'll get.." I mumbled. 

"Mostly the extra publicity. We're just trying to keep the gossip flowing. Now, we have to start this right away. We have Taylor here today, she's just signing the agreement now." 

I dazed off, it's just the same bullshit every time. How about my feelings?! I'm getting thrown around like sort of boy toy, when I don't even want that label! I dated one older woman once! Once! Now they're trying to get me with elder celebrities! I guess I should be thank full it's not Susan Boyle.. I guess this won't be too bad. It'll be a couple of dates- Tiarna's going on her date soon.. Well I guess Tiarna isn't interested clearly, so why shouldn't I do this? 

"Where do I sign?" I asked, stopping the woman from trying to convince me. She handed me the piece of paper. It said something about a script, and that it will only last 2 months maximum. 

I signed in the directed places. 

"Now, here's your first script. This will be happening tomorrow at 10:30am. You will pick Taylor up from her apartment and the rest is wrote down. You might want to go talk to Taylor and get her details. She's just outside on the lounges." and with that, it was over. I said a farewell and walked out the doors reading the script for tomorrow. 

Pick Taylor up and 10:30am

Take her to Starbucks for a coffee, then walk down the streets of London. 

Make it look believable

Find things to do, maybe go shopping. 

P.S You cannot tell anyone that you're not really dating. 

Mr Hurley. 

I looked up to find Taylor sitting on the lounge reading the script herself. I made my way over to her. She glanced up and shot me a smile, then stood up to give me a tight hug. 

"Hey" She said casually. 

"Hi Taylor" I said with not much energy as she was probably hoping for.
