Hired Girlfriend.

Chapter Seven: Let's go on a date.

The next few days were a bit weird, Harry and I were barely starting to get to know each other, and we didn't really know what to do. Management hadn't been getting pushy, which was good, but they insisted on making it "official" to the public, even though it had probably had been a week since the "awful breakup".

Harry was an okay person I guess, when we were around we didn't really speak much, I guess it was awkward for both of us, but sometimes the guy would say stuff that made me want to punch him in the gut, or that just made me want to puke whenever he got all cheesy and crappy stuff like that.

I was walking out of the mechanic's when I suddenly became blind by the cameras flashing in front of me.

"Crap. Jerry! A little help here!" I yelled as cameras attacked with 50 flashes per second.

Jerry-one of the mechanics working there-pushed off some people, and took me back inside into a closed room. He was pretty buff, which helped him to make our way put of the sea of flashing cameras.

"What was all that?" he asked.

"Haven't you seen the local news or anything like it?"

"No. Why?"

"It'll answer all your questions. I've gotta go, how long do you think they'll be there?" I peeked through the blinds to the the paparazzis still there.

Boy, they're desperate, I thought.

"Could be a while, make your way out the back door."

"Cool, thanks." I said before giving him a short wave and quickly leaving the place before anyone could see me.

As soon as I reached the apartment, I got a text message from Catherine but I didn't really want to deal with her, I was tired. And a few minutes later I got a text from Louis' number.

Louis: Hi, hey Ryan, it's Zayn:)

Me: Uhh...hi?

Zayn: I know it might be strange for me to text you, but Louis says you left a sweatshirt at his place, so if he can keep it:) ?

Me: Hell no. I'm not giving away any sweatshirt of mine.

Zayn: Ok, and also he says that Eleanor is coming back today, so if you 'd like to be up for lunch tomorrow.

Me: Thanks but no. I've got my stupid "First Date" with Harry.

Zayn: Ooooh, getting cozy with the curly I see;)

Me: Wtf? No. It's in the contract.

Zayn: Yeah, whatever;)

Me: Where's Louis, anyway?

Zayn: You don't want to know...

Me: Yea I do.

Zayn: Well, he was getting dressed when he slipped on the wet floor, and the toilet seat was open, sooo...

Me: Lemme guess, fat ass got stuck in the toilet seat again?

Zayn: As hilarious as it is...yeah:)

Wait...again?

Me: Yea, it's not the first time it happens...

Zayn: Hey, I have to go. But I have to hear that story about Louis getting stuck on the toilet later;)

Me: Sure. Later.

"Well, I don't have much to do." I said to myself. "I've got next class until Thursday, Louis' girlfriend is coming back today, I don't wanna mess with Harry at all, and most certainly I don't wanna mess with Catherine either." I sighed in a exasperated way. "Looks like I can just sit around for today."

I put some leftover Chinese food in the microwave and sat down on the couch before before deciding that I'd be starting the new diet on Monday, or at least, I'd start doing some exercise.

I scanned through the channels on the TV, but there was nothing really interesting on, so I just left it on Animal Planet, until I fell asleep for the rest of the evening, which meant I woke up around 2:00 am, utterly bored out of my mind, without knowing what to do. I had already slept through the whole afternoon, so I wasn't sleepy. At all.

"I need to get a life." I said, as I stood up off the couch and kind of soothed my hair down and yawned.

I groaned as I realized I hadn't even taken off my uniform, which meant that I had definitely not taken a shower that day. I got up off my lazy bum and turned on the hot water, just so I wouldn't t have to deal with showering later, after all, I had the day off, which also meant I had to have a 'fake date' with Harry. *Insert 'Kill Me' face here*

I don't complain about the guy, the problem is sometimes he gets too cheesy, at the point you literally want to run a car over him. Twice.

Besides, he wasn't the nicest person when we first met after all.

I took a quick shower and did nothing but sit around and play Tetris on my phone for the next couple of hours, which was really boring too. I seriously needed to get some friends.

I finally decided to go for a walk, when daylight began to show. I didn't want to be assaulted by any thugs on the streets at early hours in the morning.

I got a coffee and a hash brown at Mc Donald's right around the corner and made it back to my place, before getting ready for my 'date' with Harry, which was still until 10 am and it was still 6 o'clock, but whatever.

Just to make it clear, my idea of 'getting ready for a fake date' is to put on some baggy overalls, along with an Oasis t-shirt, some worn out converse and my hair would be tied up in a messy ponytail, and maybe with a cap on and a sweater or something.

Ooh-la-la

Yeah, I know, I'm so goddamn hot.

But hey, at least I don't have to worry about wearing make-up or any shit like that.

I'm not gonna lie, I do have imperfections in my face. Every once in a while, a new little red dot appears on my face, but it's normal, so I don't care I just wash my face and it'll disappear a few days later.

Finally, it was 10 o'clock, and I was waiting for Harry, which is hard to believe. He finally showed up a little while later.

I just waved when he walked towards me, though he tried to hug me.

"Nah, I don't think so." I said, slightly pushing him away.

"If we're "dating", we at least have to make it look real." He answered finger quoting.

"You're such a pussy." I gave him just a short hug.

"I AM-"

"Anyway," I interrupted. "let's go on a date. The sooner we finish this, the better."

"People are going to think I'm gay."

"Like I give a crap. Let's just go."

"If they criticise it's-"

"I know I know, it's my problem. Just shut up and let's go."

"Where are we going? Or where do you want to go?" He questioned me as we both put our hands in our pockets and began to walk.

"You'll see." I gave him a mischievous wink before we walked off.

~Author's Note.

I know you people probably hate me for being off Wattpad so long.

Things haven't been at it's easiest since the past couple months, so I really appreciate all of you being so patient, and I swear I'm going to get all my stuff straight and go back to writting asap.

Thank you so much guys!
