Chapter 14

Chapter 14:

Taylor's POV

"We'll be fine," Harry breathes as we sit in the back of his car driven by a cheffeur.

"I know I shouldn't care what people think, but it's hard," I sigh.

"we've been in hiding enough. Plus now that you're back from Berlin I thought we could go grab some dinner," Harry reminds me. 

"It's nice to see you," was all I could say.

Harry had convinced me that it was ok that we be seen in public. he said to ignore the paps and any accusations. But I still had Cory in the back of my mind. I didn't need to him get the picture that Harry and I were a couple.

"Oh and I hope you don't mind that we have to stop at the studio after this. I need to pick something up from Niall,' Harry mentions.

"That's fine..Who's all going to be there?" I ask trying to keep my cool.

"I think just the four other boys and our tour manager," He mentions.

Wait Cory was there. Harry didn't know anything about us and I had planned on keeping it that way. Hopefully Cory can keep his mouth shut for the time being so that I could explain things to him. Or that Harry would just let me sit in the car while he took care of business. I sigh and shake off the nerves, I didn't need Harry getting suspicious and wondering if there was a problem because I had already blamed a lot on the nerves of going out infront of the paparazzi.

"Here goes nothing," Harry says and rubs his thumb across the back of my hand.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be," I retort.

As soon as we get out of the car we are bombarded by paps. I cling to Harry's arm out of nerves and he pulls me through the crowd of fans and men taking snaps of us.

"Are you two on again?" One of them yells.

Harry ignores them as he manages to shove us through the crowds of people. His body guards also help as we try to manuver into the small restaurant. 

"Nice to see the lovely couple make a new apperance," One of the paps yell at us. 

I can also hear disapproval from some of the one direction fans in the crowd. A few of them and most of my fans call at us and cry tears of joy, whether or not they were a fan of our actual relationship. 

"Smile over here honey!" One of the paps shouts. 

We finally make it inside and the waitress and manager guide us to the back of the room. We are seated in a small secluded booth but I can still feel all eyes on us. Harry's security goes to sit infront of the room where the windows are and leaves us at peace. 

"Familar?" Harry asks and he can't help but let a small smirk play on his face. 

"I doubt I'll ever get used to it. It even happened when I was with-" I begin but Harry finishes the sentence for me. 

"Joe," He says sternly after clearing his throat. 

We then become silent. Harry is looking intently at the menu. There weren't that many options for him to be that preoccupied. 

"Harry," I tell him, making him look up. 

"Hmm," He hums. 

"This is what caused us to break up once," I remind him. His expression softens. 

"Sorry," He mumbles. 

"This is something we need to overcome if you want us to work," I say softly.
