Chapter 14

Our first date was quite nice. As soon as I got home I recorded all the events that happened in my diary.

Colette pulled up to the restaurant and I was met with butterflies in my stomach. She was dating Zayn Malik. I stepped out of her car, examining your black dress, feeling as if it was perfect. "You look great Karin, Harry will be smitten," Zayn said from the passenger seat. "You look amazing," Colette said and I smiled. I waved then walked to the restaurant entrance. I walked to the front and the hostess led me to Harry. He stood up when you got to the table and I almost melted. He looked perfect in a simple dress shirt with dress pants and a dress jacket. "You look lovely," he said and gently placed a kiss on my hand. He pulled out my chair before I sat down then sat across from me. "I hope you don't mind that we're eating here," he said and I smiled. "It's wonderful, thank you Harry," I said and smiled at him. The waiter took our orders and before I knew it our food was here. I poked at the food then looked up at Harry. He had the same expression as I did. The meals looked small and not appealing. "I'm not quite used to how fancy this all is," I said and he glanced down. "How about McDonalds?" He asked and I lit up. "That sounds great," I said and stood up. He threw down a $100 bill on the table and we both walked out. We were met with brisk air and I felt him wrap is jacket around my shoulders. He led me to his car and opened the door for me. He started up his car and before I knew it we arrived at the nearest McDonald's. He signaled for me to wait and opened the door for me again. I beamed up at him, not able to contain the happiness. I sat down at the nearest table while Harry ordered for us both. Before I knew it he was sitting across from me with the tray of food. We two were lucky there weren't any teenage girls in the McDonald's we were at. We two ate the food, talking about random things. I heard screams from somewhere in the restaurant and turned my head to see five girls. They ran up to us two and I was still with shock. "Can we get a picture?" one girl said when they reached him. I nodded and smiled at him and he stood up. "Can we get one with both of you?" a second girl said and I nodded. I wasn't sure how to respond to them asking me for one. The pictures were done and I smiled at Harry. "You sure handled that well," he said and I smiled. "It wasn't that bad," I said and he looked sullen. "It wasn't you're right, that's nothing compared to what it could be," he said. "Yeah, but I'm sure with security and everything it can be safe," I said and he grinned. I realized later that he loved when I told him that. It made him think about the future and that I'd be willing to survive the fans and paparazzi for him. He drove me home and I loved the feel of the leather seats. He walked me to my door and I looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed me on my cheek. "I always kiss on the first date," he said before walking away. It was the best first date I had ever had and I was hoping to share a few more with him.
