The Cover Up | harry styles

chapter fourteen

Sorry for the late update! I totally forgot to update because I was caught up watching gossip girl. (Yes, I'm late on this one.) Enjoy!

- Sophie's -

It was the day of the boys' video shoot for one of their commercials. I've seen them do a few commercials for clothing brands, department stores and even some of their own merchandise. Claudia had told me to be there at the video shoot because the fans will be there too.

Of course, Claudia needed to be there. 

Worst still, I had to sit next to her throughout the shoot. 

"Look at the fans." she said, eyeing them from a far. They had positioned themselves over a bridge, hoping to get a sneak preview of the boys even if there were barriers blocking off their views. "Crazy."

I rolled my eyes at her. Yeah well, these crazy fans are the reason you've got clothes on your skin and food in your mouth. "It's One Direction, what do you expect?" I replied rudely to her, feeling no pressure at all to be nice to her.

Ronnie & Tran were also sitting nearby, eyeing the fans well.

According to Claudia, I'm 'wanted' by the fans and I'm probably going to get mobbed as much as the guys are. It's not like I'm some star, to be honest. I'm still able to walk up & down my street fine without being protected.

"Do you need anything, Miss Hartman?" Ronnie asked in a low voice as Claudia continued to fan herself.

I smiled back. Claudia doesn't appreciate Ronnie & Tran enough - no wonder they hate her so much too. "It's fine. You guys should sit." I said, offering up my seat.

"It's alright, Miss Hartman!" Ronnie insisted. "You need the seat more than I do."

"Sophie, let him do his job." Claudia spoke up all of a sudden. "You should just sit your pretty ass down and enjoy the view." she continued, fanning herself again. Is it possible to be a pain in the arse and fabulous at the same time?

"What view?" I scoffed, looking out at the set to see only the guys and the fans in the background.

I saw her breathing in in annoyance, trying not to roll her eyes. Well sorry, thousands of fangirls screaming my so called boyfriend's name isn't exactly a view to me. "Harry's doing so well out there. You must be so proud." she assumed sarcastically.

"What do you want me to do?" I sighed, knowing exactly what she was expecting of me.

"I'm saying that once the shoot end, be a good girlfriend and run up to him to give him a little some-some." she said in a low voice, keeping up her fake smile. I looked around us to see a few make-up artists and wardrobe people hanging around us. "And by some-some, I mean a big some-some."

A kiss, you mean?

Stop, you don't control me. I wanted to say.

"I actually do." she replied. Oops, did I really say that out loud. Well, didn't regret saying it at all. "I'm going to find a vending machine that actually works because I need my bloody coffee before I go on a fit."

"Already is..." I muttered, getting a snort from Ronnie who was close enough to hear me.

I looked over at him as we both exchanged funny faces. "I heard that." Claudia commented before moving off. Ronnie & Tran exchanged amused faces with me as we all started to laugh lowly. As much as I wanted to like Claudia, she gives me more reasons than one to hate her.

I looked over to see the boys playing with a kiddy soccer ball - no wonder people call them immature. I smiled as I watched them dribble it back and forth... Of course, Louis had to show off his set of skills while dribbling it around. Harry was just standing by the corner, frowning that Louis was hogging the ball all to himself.
