No Foundations

Going Public - Chapter 23

Remington's POV

The rest of the tour went really well. I learned a lot so much about how to put a show together in different types of stadiums. Harry and I did our best to keep our relationship on the down low. Most of the tour staff knew we were dating. We told the boys first and they didn't seem very surprised. They all seemed genuinely happy for us, which was really nice. Liam was doing a lot better, deciding not to date for a while, but focusing on the future. He and Danielle still talked. They just weren't dating anymore, which he said he was fine with.

Since tour was over, the boys and I will be on holiday for a week before the album work starts. I've been looking through a few songs, and I've picked a few that I think they'd enjoy. I even kept my promise to Harry that I'd try to write a song for them. I wasn't sure how good it was, so I titled it with a different name and I'll present it to them as if it wasn't actually mine, if they pass on it, they pass on it. I won't mind.

Harry and I have been discussing for the last two weeks whether or not we wanted to go public. He really wants to, but I'm kind of nervous. That's the reason why we haven't gone on an official date yet. Most of our time spent together consists of backstage concert stuff, and stuff we do in our flats. We've been trying to avoid paparazzi at all costs, and I think we are doing a pretty good job. Except today they have a radio show later to talk about the end of the tour, and Harry insists that he tells the world about us. I cannot stress enough how nervous I am about this. I trust him, and I know everything should be all right. I'm just worried. We even talked to Simon about it to see what he thought of the idea. He was no help, telling us that it was our personal decision. The radio interview was just a few hours away and Harry and I were sitting in the living room of his flat still trying to decide what to do.

"How do you know the radio guy is even going to ask you about girls?" I ask him, realizing it's a stupid question just a few seconds later. Harry is always asked about girls.

"Because they always ask me about girls." He replies, told you.

"Well, wont it be weird if they ask you about girls and after all this time of saying you don't have a girlfriend you're just kind of like, 'just kidding! Yeah I do!'" I ask, and he thinks about it for a second.

"Well maybe, but I don't see any other option, unless you just want to go on our date tonight and have the paparazzi take a bunch of photos. That's not going to help this radio interview though, because I'd have to lie and that will just confuse the fans." He explains. I frown, never realizing how complicated this situation really was. Dating a pop star is not easy. I don't recommend it unless he's really, really worth it, like Harry is. Zayn and Niall, who have been sitting in the room listening to our predicament for the last half hour, seem to be having trouble giving us advice as well.

"Maybe you should make it public now?" Zayn says.

"How do you suggest we do that?" Harry asks. We already thought about this. We don't exactly have time to go out to ice cream and hope the paps find us.

"Take it to twitter!" Niall gasps. Harry's face lights up and then looks at me intrigued. How we never thought of twitter is beyond me.

"How though?" I question. Again, we cant just be like, 'oh hey we're dating!'.

"Take a picture of the two of you kissing or something, post it to Harry's twitter, tag you in it, have Harry say something super cute." Niall says, "It's really that simple." Harry looks at me with this devilish tint in his eyes. I blush at him.

"It'll go viral in seconds," Zayn says, "Creating enough controversy that you know it'll be brought up in the radio show today. It'll probably get the show way more viewers too. Simon will love it." He adds.
