Reason #8 I Hate Being Famous: The Lies

Louis' P.O.V

"Hurry up Harry we're late!" I shout into the bus.

"Yeah yeah yeah! I'm coming!" Harry shouts back before making his way down the stairs.

"How were you late when we had so much time? Like seriously?" I say and we get into the cab that was patiently waiting for us.

"I needed to fix my hair." He shrugs.

"Again?"

"I accidentally messed it up." Harry says and I roll my eyes.

"Where to boys?" The cabbie asks.

"The Nandos on Main Street please." Harry tells the man. We settle down for the ride, my hand finding his. Our hands intertwine and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"You boys together?" The cabbie asks and we shoot apart. His eyebrows raise at our sudden actions.

"Yeah umm no." I mumble, my heart clenching with each word.

"Then what was with the hand-holding? I can hear you're British but I don't know what you people are like." He says, confusion obvious on his face.

"Umm..." I can't think of anything and Harry's face gives away he obviously doesn't know what to say either.

"I'm no homophobe kid. My son's gay you know. I'm totally cool with it. So I understand if you're scared of coming out of the closet." He tells me, our eyes meeting for a second. I look away quickly, pretending something out the window caught my eye.

"I'm just tired, that's why my head was on his shoulder." I say lamely, knowing it's a shit excuse.

"And we weren't holding hands. They were just beside each other." Harry adds. I want to laugh at our horrible excuses. The cabbie looks unconvinced.

"Really? 'Cause I swore you boys were holding hands." He raises one eyebrow, his gruff voice has a slight Brooklyn accent. Or at least what I know of from hearing Brooklyn accents on tv.

"Nah." Harry mumbles, a small frown etched onto his face. All I want to do is kiss away the wrinkles that form when he frowns but restrain myself by pressing my forehead against the cold window.

Only a few minutes later we pull up at the restaurant and pay the cabbie.

"Hope you boys figure your stuff out!" He shouts before we close door. I raise my eyebrows at Harry before we walk into Nandos.

"Well we couldn't fool him." I whisper.

"Hopefully he doesn't out us. Good thing he didn't get a picture." Harry whispers back before putting on a fake smile. I turn to see what he's looking at and find Taylor in front of us. She engulfs us both in a hug.

"It's so good to see you guys again." She smiles at me and looks at Harry, her smile faltering a bit. They definitely didn't part on a good note.

"Nice to see you too Tay." I tell her, nudging Harry.

"Yeah nice to see you." He mumbles before rolling his eyes. I laugh silently when Taylor huffs and turns away. Harry just smiles at me and winks before he guides me to the table where everyone else it sitting.

"Hey guys!" Ed says, smiling widely at the 2 of us. I smile back before taking a seat with Harry beside me. Everyone at the table except for Taylor and Selena know about me and Harry. Ed loves us and as the fans say "ship us". He even drew us a picture once that described our love. I didn't get it but Harry has it taped up onto our fridge because he loves Ed and doesn't want to hurt his feelings.

Taylor and Selena left early, allowing Harry and I to tell our cab story.

"And then he yelled out, 'hope you boys figure your stuff out!' before we could close the door!" Harry said, making me laugh along with the rest of the table even though I was there.

"But on a more sad and angry note, guess who poor Harry got a call from today?" I asked everyone. They all got confused expressions on their faces before motioning for us to continue.

"This man from management named Mark called me and told me that the picture that showed me and Louis holding hands was giving people the wrong 'impression'." With this Harry rolled his eyes but continued. "So now I have to get a girlfriend by the end of the week or they're finding me one."

"What!?" They can't do that!" Ed exclaims. I shrug.

"They can basically control everything we do..." I trail off, shrugging again.

"All a bunch of cunts they are." Niall says, making everyone laugh.

"But I don't know who to ask out. That's my problem." Harry says.

"How about Taylor?" I suggest, earning a punch on my arm but a table of laughs.

"Okay okay never mind. But I don't know." I say.

"What about Selena? Ask someone who you like and know unlike someone who you can't stand." Liam says, giving me a pointed look. I roll my eyes at him before looking back at Harry. He looks like he's considering it.

"Yeah that might be a good idea. Anyone else have any suggestions?" Harry says.

"We could head to a bar after the concert tomorrow and check out the ladies?" Zayn suggests, earning a nod from Niall.

"Sure. And if all else fails, Selena is plan B." Harry says confidently.
