Miss me?: Chapter 18

Shelby:

The door then closes and Harry turns to me.

"So? Whatcha wanna do?"

I laugh "So you mean to tell me you came here without any plans or ideas of what we should do?"

He scratches the back of his neck uncomfortably " Ugh... Yeah?"

"Well what good are you?" I tease.

He laughs "No good I guess."

We kinda just stand there for a bit staring at the floor. Then for what seems like an eternity he speaks up.

"You know what? I think I did see a little carnival coming down this way." I shake my head at his answer.

"What why?"

" I can't go out into the public with you!!! I'll blow my cover!"

"Oh shit... I didn't think of that..."

"Yeah..."

We are quiet again..

"How about a disguise?"

"A disguise?"

"Yeah we do it a lot! You know just so we can go out, and do things without the fans knowing it's actually us."

"I don't know about this Harry..."

"Let's just try it."

"Ehhh... Okay."

"Yes!! This will definitely be fun! I'll call our hair, and dress designer right now."

-

20minutes later, his hair/dress designer is putting a wig and different clothes on me. When she's done I look nothing like my self.. I have black hair and a simple jumper on.

"Oh my..."

"Can I see noowww?" Harry whines to his designer that I've learned her name to be Lou.

"Yes Harry come take a look, she looks really good!" Harry comes in and stops dead in his tracks.

"Woah, what have you done to her? I mean I like this Shelby, but I like the other one waaaayyy better!"

I don't really know whether to be flattered or to be offended because I like this look alot! I decide to be flattered, and smile. Because it's good to know he likes me just the way I am.

"But you sure did good Lou you can hardly even recognize her!! Thank you so much!"

"Anytime babe!" She replies. Then she leaves.

"So you ready to go...? Umm... What should you go by?"

"Hmmmm... Marie."

"Where'd you get that name so fast?"

"It's my middle name."

"Oh.. Shelby Marie. I like it." He smiles. "Well, shall we go then... Marie?"

"Haha sure."

-

After about 30 minutes of driving we finally make it to the "small" carnival.

"Small carnival my butt! This place is huge!"

"Haha yeah I guess it looked smaller when driving by."

I look around and see a couple at one of those booths where you throw a ball at the moving aliens and if you like the moving alien you when a big stuffed animal. I watch in laughter as the boy finally wins after 5 tries wins the girl a big puppy. I'm guessing Harry sees me staring and drags me over.

"Well hello there are you ready to win your pretty lady here a prize?" The carnie asks.

"Well duhhh!" Harry says.

"Alright, alright 3 bucks for three balls." Harry hands him three pounds. Soon the alien starts to move around and Harry hits the alien in less than two seconds. He then grabs another ball and hits the other alien, and same with the third. I stand there in shock. The carnie is shocked as well.

"Umm.. Do I get my prizes now or..?"

"Wow there son! That was something else!"

"I guess."

"Well chose your prizes."

"Go ahead, love. Chose." He whispers to me.

"Umm the tiger, the dog, and...."

"The bear." Harry chooses for me.

"Very traditional Styles."

"Hey what can I say I'm a traditional guy." After that we ride the Farris wheel and play a few more games and soon we get a bit hungry so Harry offers to go but us some food.

"Here you save the seats and I'll be back with our good." He smiles and walks off.

I smile, this night has been pretty good. I look down at my phone and check to see if Red has texted or anything. She hasn't which I hope is a good sign. The table moves which indicates Harry is back when I look up I'm shocked to see that it isn't Harry. I gasp.

"Miss me?"

"Riley.." I growl. "What are you doing here?"

"I love the new look doll face." I stand up, he does the same and hold his hands up in defense

"Woah, cool it little one. I've come to warn you. I'm here to tell you that you shouldn't believe everyone you are either working with or working for. I'm also here to tell you that your precious boyfriend won't be safe for long. You might as well come back to us doll face."

"I will never go back to that horrid place."

"Fine but my offer still stands. Be careful doll face." He smirks and walks off and before I can run after him Harry walks up with food in his hand.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah umm sorry I thought I saw a.. Bug!"

"Oh, so your an agent who's scared of bugs?"

"Terrified."

"Well that's something else."

The rest of the night is like this, small talk and laughter. The carnival slowly starts to close so we decide to head back. Harry has to practically carry me to the car because I can barley walk because of how exhausted I am.

The drive home seemed to short, but then again I was half asleep. He opened my door and scooped me up into his arms. He was so warm compared to the cold London air. I dug my head deeper into his chest and he chuckled. I hear a door open and a light turn on then he gently Puts me down onto a comfortable cushion of pillows and bankerts. My bed. I really loved my bed.

"Alright, love I'll see you tomorrow at training." He then places a gentle kiss on my head and leaves.

I can't help but dream about what Riley said to me. What the hell did he mean that I "Shouldn't believe the people I work for and work with.." I sigh and try to remember why I've come here. And that's to protect Harry, and of course the rest of the boys. I soon fall into a nice slumber.
