Foolish (James McVey)

Chapter 5

He finally walks off down the street and I stand there and watch him go. I can't believe what had just happened. The cute gestures, the emotional breakdown and... the kiss. Dare I say it that I was starting to have feelings for this boy...

The next morning I am not awoken by any noises which makes me happy knowing I slept for as long as I wanted. I open my eyes and roll onto my side, seeing it is 10.42am. Not too bad El. I got out of bed slowly and slipped on the large hoodie that was on my desk chair. Walking downstairs there was a pile of post on the floor by the door. I sift through the letter as I walk to the kitchen but nothing seemed to catch my eye so I left them on the kitchen counter.

After making myself a cup of tea, I sit down in front of the tv and switch onto the music channels. I was sat listening to MTV blast out coldplay's recent single, until the MTV news thing came on. I was about to turn over until an image caught my eye. It was a photo of me and James kissing last night.

There was no one around last night, I live in quite a quiet place... that means the paps now know where I live... brilliant. The reporter started talking, "Famous boy band member, James McVey was spotted last night outside a young girl's house. The two were spotted walking down the street together, laughing and having intense conversations throughout their journey. James giving the girl his jacket... how romantic! Once reaching the girl's front door, the two locked lips. Fans are going crazy trying to figure out who the mystery girl is. So... who is James' girl? We'd all love to find out."

I switched the tv off and sat staring at the blank screen. It was official I was starting to feel things for James.. I just don't know how I felt about the public knowing of this. I know this is now my job for the next few months. This was good right? The public now know that something was going on between me and James... that's good. That's the way everything needs to go.

As I walk past the door, the doorbell rings, making me jump out of my skin. I walk up to the door and open it to see James stood there. He doesn't give me much time to process what's happening before he runs quickly inside and shuts the door.

"What are you doing?"

"There's paps outside." He runs a hand through his hair and hangs his coat on the coat rack.

"Okay... but what are you doing here? At my house?"

"Am I not allowed to come and see my girlfriend?" He puts quotations around the word girlfriend and winks at me.

"I guess you are... but it's pretty early..."

"Well... we are going on a date!" His little face lit up and it forced me to smile too.

"You couldn't have caIlled, James?" I ask, wrapping my jumper around me even more.

"I was out anyway so I just thought I'd come."

"Okay?"

"Go get ready then." He scoffs, walking into the living room and taking a seat.

I rush up the stairs and throw off my pyjamas. Chucking on the first pair of light washed jeans I can see along with a 5 Seconds Of Summer t shirt and leather jacket. I shoved my feet into my doc marten's and grabbed my satchel. I quickly put on my essential make up and as quickly and carefully as I could curl the ends of my hair. Got to look good for the paps right?

I make it downstairs, taking two at a time, to see James stood with his back to me at the wall in the living room. I cough slightly, making him turn around and walk over to me.

"You look... alright." His eyes move from the very top of my head to my feet.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I cross my arms, trying to prove to James that I can be strong.

"You just look like a boy." He shrugs.

"No I do not. This is my best outfit and I love it... so... fuck off." I huff and grab my phone from the side counter. I feel James' eyes watching my every move, making me very very nervous. I hear him give a light chuckle before holding his hand out for me.

I grabbed his hand and he entwined our fingers together giving them a slight squeeze. He really does change moods quickly. It's one of his characteristics that annoys me so much... But I can't help but develop more feelings for him..

James' POV

When her small cold hand slid into mine, I gave it a little squeeze. I knew she was going to be nervous about stepping outside into the world of paparazzi. But there was nothing I could do about that, for now. We walked towards the door and just as I reached for the door handle, I felt El's small arm tug on my upper arm.

"I'm scared."

"Hey, don't be scared... I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." I crouch down a little so our eyes are level and I see her cheeks flush a red colour. I smile and kiss her cheek then we venture outside.

I spot the first camera and I know today is going to be a tough one.

"Hey James, who's the girl?"

"What's your name?"

"This your new girlfriend James, or another one of your whores?"

That final comment made me flip and I turned in the direction of the voice. I didn't let go of El's hand, she was not leaving my sight.

"What did you just say?" I ask firmly, staring the bald short man straight in the eye.

"Is she another one of your whores? You know you've kept busy lately, we're just wondering what juicy details we can get this time." A smirk appears on his face and I swear I am so close to attacking him. But I wouldn't do that infront of El, it may scare her.

"James, come on let's go." Her soft voice says behind me, and I feel her hands tugging at my biceps. A final glare at the man and I give in, leading El off to my car.

We get in and as soon as her seat belt is buckled, I speed off down the street, rethinking what happened.

"James?" I could feel her watching me and even though I didn't want to piss her off or anything I just couldn't bring myself to talk to her. What happened back there was uncalled for: that man had no right in saying those things. But it was true, I have been going from girl to girl recently, because I could. But I could sense something was different this time, this was definitely just not a fling. And not just because she was getting paid. I felt like something could happen between us. Something was stirring between us, I just wish I could put my finger on it. Someday...
