Sometimes

Chapter 14

I pulled the collar of my coat up as opened the door and the cold wind caught me by surprise. I made my way over to where Louis, Naill and Liam were.

"Sorry guys but you're needed inside" I said as I reached them.

I smiled politely at the girls in front of us, but just received unfriendly looks in return. I wasn't there to be liked by the fans, but there was no reason for them to be rude.

"No problem Jem, we'll finish up here and be in" Louis said with a reassuring smile.

I wandered over to Zayn and said the same thing before reaching Harry, who had a flock of young girls talking to him. I stood just out of Harry's view as he continued to talk with a small, pretty blonde girl.

"Oh you were there? That's a long way to travel just for us" he said as he scribbled his signature on their latest single.

"Yeah, but it was worth it. We were right at the front but we missed you afterwards so we kinda had to come today" she said with a slightly hyper tone to her voice. Probably the cold; who knew how long she has waited in the cold for them to arrive.

Harry turned his head slightly and spotted me standing to his left. "Hey you" he said with a big smile as he stepped back towards me, it was one of those movements that could result in him slipping his arm comfortably around my waist, which wouldn't have gone down well in front of fans, so I shuffled slightly which stopped him moving any closer.

"You're needed inside" I said ignoring the girls attention and glares.

"Yeah sure, sorry girls, we'll try and find the time to come out later" he said as he handed the pen back to the blonde girl. The girls tried to keep him there but Harry seemed determined to walk back to the building with me.

"Alright?" he asked as he bumped shoulder against mine, before slipping his hands into his coat pockets, and subconsciously mirroring my stance.

"Yeah fine. Just got a lot to sort out" I said as we reached the door, he reached over and opened it for me, before standing to one side and letting me in. The others had already made their way inside.

"Anything I can do?" he offered.

"Just keep out of trouble" I said with a smile before pecking him on the cheek as no one else was around.

I left the guys in their dressing room while I went and double-checked the day's plans with the Radio One team. By eleven I was briefing a small group of press for the interviews we had arranged, before beginning a twenty-minute conveyor belt of interviews. I sat in on the interviews to make sure there were no unexpected curveballs, but the journalists asked all the usual questions, which couldn't have been answered better by the five seasoned professionals, they even managed to get to the last interview of the day before being asked about their love lives.

"So, with Valentines Day approaching, do any of you have someone special in your lives?" the female interviewer asked before taking a sip of her tea and scanning the guys faces for immediate responses.

"We've got a gig in Cardiff the next day, so Hannah will be travelling to the land of leeks and sheep so we can go out for a romantic meal" Louis said with a chuckle and a smile.

"And the rest of you?" she pried when none of the others answered.

"Forever alone me" Liam said with a giggle "So it will probably be a burger for one and an early night".

"Yeah and I'll probably join him" Niall said with a nervous laugh.

"Zayn, Harry?" she pried further.

"To be honest I hadn't even thought about it" Zayn said as he shuffled in his seat uncomfortably. From what I understood he had recently broken up with someone, so Valentines Day was probably not on his list of priorities.

"And Harry? Will you be wining and dining someone special this year?" she said, starring right at him, intend on getting a response.

"Oh you never know, maybe" he said with a cheeky grin.

"So you have someone special in your life at the moment?" she asked, clearly desperate for the exclusive. I would have stepped in and asked her to move on to the next question, but as they were a boy band questions about relationships were on the agenda in every interview.

"Well I'd like there to be, but it's all pretty new at the moment, so we'll see" he said as he reached for his bottle of water in an attempt not to make eye contact with me, all the while I found my phone the most fascinating thing in the room, while I desperately tried not to look up or draw attention to myself. Well answered, I thought to myself before noticing four heads swivel in Harry's direction, shocked at the revelation, luckily this went unnoticed by the prying journalist.

She eventually moved on and I was soon ushering her out of the door.

"Since when?" I heard Louis in an excited tone as I closed the door behind me as I lead the journalist back down the hall.
