A/N: This is going to be the last chapter of In Our Secret Moments. I just want to thank everyone for their support in my first venture into fanfic writing! I hope I'm hit by inspiration and come back with something new soon. I'm heading on a cruise so who knows it might be Parahoy inspired?

Alright I'm definitely feeling more nervous than I have been before a show for a long time. My stomach is doing somersaults and I feel like I'm going to barf. Everyone is in front of us playing table tennis and dancing to music but Taylor and I are glued to the sofa, I think we're both as scared as each other about what we're about to do. I will say one thing though, it is nice being able to get close and intimate with T in front of the guys. I'm lying between Taylor's legs with the back of my head rested against his chest. He's absentmindedly drawing little circles on my thigh where my skirt finishes, And normally I'd be in a state of bliss but not tonight. What will people say? I hate to think how the media are going to spin this... With that thought my stomach flips again. That's it, I need some fresh air.

I untangle myself from Taylor and walk out onto the balcony. I sit down on the concrete floor and dangle my legs through the railings, hanging my feet over the edge.

I lean forward and rest my head against the wrought iron railing to take in the view. I watch all the people in the distance carry on with their lives in the pink light emitted by the beautiful sunset above. I feel myself calm a little as our situation starts to seem a little smaller in the scheme of things. I mean it's not like me and T's relationship is actually going to affect many people. Damn this view gorgeous,  quite picturesque actually, I wish I brought my phone out with me so I could capture it.

I hear the door open and close behind me with a creak. I don't bother averting my gaze, I know who it is.

"Hey, are you ok?" I hear a soft voice behind me. I can't help myself from smile a little at the sound of his voice.

"Yeah" I sigh, "Just nervous I suppose. I had an idea of how to announce it though so that's something right?"

"I am too...what's your idea?" Taylor asks as he sits beside me and hugs me in a tight embrace.

"Well I was thinking of dedicating a song to you..." I say hesitantly. "A love song... and I know we're hardly at that stage yet but I just feel like it really fits how I'm feeling st the moment. I know that it might not be how you feel... I mean... I'm not saying I have feelings for you or anything, well of course I love you...but don't worry, only as a friend of course because it's way too soon for me to love you in any other-" Taylor halts my rant as he places both of his hands on either side of my face.
"Hayley." He says, looking into my eyes, he starts stroking my cheek with his thumb and I just about melt right into him.
"Hayley. I love you."
I can't help but blurt out "What?". Wow good job Hayley, so much for being good with your words.

"I love you. You know I don't say this lightly but I mean it. I don't care if we haven't been official for very long. I love you and I've loved you for a long time, really you don't want to know when I started loving you because quite frankly it was inappropriate. God! that crazy ranting of yours must be contagious, I had planned out a full on speech..."

I lunge forward and wrap my arms around his neck as I kiss him hard and passionately, within seconds we're just sitting out here on a dingy little balcony making out in a fit of passion. He loves me!

The romantic moment is brought to a holt as I hear a whistle come from my right. I look up to find the guys grouped up in the doorway, at the front of the group stands Zac camera in hand.

"How long were you standing there, you pervs!" Taylor announces playfully, however I know he is a little worried, was our private moment heard by our friends?

"Our attention was drawn when you two started eating each other's faces off. Then we decided we better make sure you guys don't get done for public indecency, you know just in case you guys got carried away. Nah but if an all seriousness, we better head over to the stage."


The music stops and I know the time has come. Here goes nothing.
"So we've been keeping  a little secret from you." I start walking over to Taylor, it only feels right to do this at his side. "However, after recent developments, I suppose we'll come clean". I wrap my free arm around Taylor and the crowd erupts into cheers. Taylor leans over and gives me a kiss on the cheek and the cheers get even louder. I think I even hear a Tayley chant starting amongst a group of fans standing in front of us.

Well that's a fucking relief. Although to be fair I don't know what I was expecting, a riot? Fans to just walking out? A fire to start perhaps?

I chuckle to myself as I walk back to the middle of the stage.  I glance back over at Taylor, he has the biggest, cheesiest grin on his face, he seems pretty happy with how things are going. I have to admit, this is going so well, better than I ever expected. Why did we keep it a secret again?

"The last song of the night is dedicated to the man that on my left, my boyfriend, I Mr Taylor York. Here is a song we love by Fleetwood mac, enjoy".

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say

I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out

Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon before you break my heart

Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say

Oh come along baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon before you break my heart

Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

I finish the song at Taylor's side, singing to him. As soon as the song putters down to its end, he picks me up in his strong arms, lifts me up for a kiss and then carries me off stage with the sound of deafening screams behind us. This man is going to be the death of me, but really, in this moment, I can't be happier.
