Bumped Into You.

Chapter 7.

Guessing by them waking me up, I fell asleep. My head was still hurting a bit, it felt more like a headache now. You know the ones you get when you run into a glass door. Happened to me once, awkwardness-award goes to me for that. Anyway, they woke me up. I was surprised fans didn’t find us, I mean they already knew we were here. Maybe it was just a hard place to find.

We spend the rest of the afternoon there, just a bit chilling and talking. The boys played some more soccer for a while, they even took a swim in the lake. I didn’t insist with that in the first place, but I mean, Harry, shirtless. Hard way to say no. Anyway, I didn’t go with them. I just lay down, watched them and enjoyed the weather. 

I was actually afraid to go on twitter, due to the possible reactions I’d get from me and Harry being together. Well, if the girl posted it on twitter. She was, after all, the only one who saw us. I got myself over my thoughts and just went on. 

“OMG OMG just met Harry and his girlfriend Emily at a park in Mullingar. Can’t believe he has a girlfriend.”

“Harry Styles has a girlfriend called Emily!”

And more, these were just a few out of thousands. I was literally in shock. A few days ago, I was just Emily Woods. A normal girl, who was secretly dating one of the most wanted boys in the UK, but nobody knew. Now, everybody did. I knew these were the consequences of dating Harry. But it’s still shocking. I shut down my phone and turned around to lay on my back. Maybe this was going to be a new start. Or not. I closed my eyes.

Harry noticed me closing my eyes, and immediately ran up to me. “Are you okay Ems? Is it your head again? I can get you something if you want!” and he sat down beside me, giving me a kiss on the forehead. “No, it’s not my head. It’s just tha..that I just went on twitter and like, everybody’s talking about me. I mean, it’s weird you know?” “I know it love, I know. You’ll get used to it, I promise. I’ll get you through this, after all I’m the one who dragged you into this situation.” He kissed me again, a bit longer now. “Thank you Haz, you’re really the best boyfriend in the world.” He lay down, and I put my head on his chest. He gently played with my hair and I listened to his heartbeat. It was a nice sound. My eyes started to close and soon I feel asleep again. I’m such a sleepyhead.

He woke me up kissing my forehead and told me we had to go back. So we walked back to Nialls with the rest of the boys. Louis and Niall decided to make dinner for everyone, and after, I went to bed early.

On Tuesdays we went to the cinema, ate at a little place, then Niall showed me and the boys the best places of Mullingar. How big and famous the boys may be, here in Mullingar, they were just 5 normal teenage lads. They had to stop a few times for some fans, but most of them just let them pass. Everyone knew that the boys got some time off, and the meaning of those words were perfectly understood by almost everyone.

On Wednesdays morning we had to drop by at the doctors for a check, so Harry went with me. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted on it, so did the other boys. I still have no idea why. But oh well, they are crazy anyway. Everything was fine btw, so we left in about 10 minutes after it. 

When we walked out of the building, Harry stopped me. “I’m going to take you on a little detour, I have a small surprise for you.” “Ughrrr, you know how I hate surprises” and I gave him my best angry-look. But yeh, I failed and burst out laughing. “but I don’t mind for this time.” “Yes I know you hate them, so that’s exactly why I did it love.” Oh he’s cheeky.

Where he was going to take me? I have absolutely no idea. Knowing Harry he’d take me to a restaurant or something really ambient or amusing. But taking me to a restaurant at 11am seemed a bit strange to me.

We arrived somewhere I didn’t even know it existed. “Now close your eyes.” “Wait, whut?? Noo, I don’t want to close my eyes.” I laughed. “Yes you have to, otherwise the surprise will be gone. Now close them. I’ll lead you and make sure you won’t trip or fall.” In some sort of way I didn’t trust him, but due to my head, he will be gentle with me. I think he didn’t trust me, so he put his hands on my eyes. We walked for a few minutes, then we suddenly stopped. “Are you ready?” he whispered in my ear. I nodded my head, and he let go his hands. I stood in front of a little bridge, just like in a fairytail. But there was something on it, it was flickering. “Oh go on, go look at it. I tried my best!” and he softly pushed me in the back. I turned my head and looked him in the eyes. “I already love it” and gave him a quick soft kiss on the lips. I walked to it, curious as I was. There were candles on it, loads of candles. Wait .. I think it says something. ‘I …. LOVE …. YOU’. I love you. How cute is this. I felt two arms slipping around my waist and a head on my shoulder. “Do you like it?” he asked. “Harry, I love it. It’s amazing. The sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.” And I turned around. “Oh and I love you too. Very much.” He smiled. “You know, I think I deserve a kiss.” “Oh you cheeky boy”, but I planted a kiss on his lips. I put my arms around his neck and we stood there for a while. He was such a good kisser. Not too wet, hard or aggressive. Just a gentle, sweet, soft, long kiss. And it was perfect. “I’m proud to tell everyone that I have an amazing girlfriend.” He whispered in my ear. “So do I!” and I smiled.
