Undercover Summer

Chapter 16

Chapter 16-

It had been two weeks since my phone conversation with Sally. Harry and I had hung out a few times, but it was always with other people and usually only at work. It hurt every time I heard him laugh or when I saw his smile. I knew what was coming. My deadline for the article was in a week, and I was determined to meet it. All I had to do was bottle up my feelings for him and go on being his personal assistant. Not hard at all. *Sarcastic laugh*

A few times he would try to pull me in for a kiss while we were alone, but I would push him off. He resolved to the occational wink across the room now. He still made my heart beat faster and my cheeks turn red, even with me trying so hard to not like him.

I don't know when it happened, but it was somewhere between the first hello and our last kiss. It struck so quickly, I didn't even see it coming. I loved Harry. I fell for the curly haired one, harder than I'd ever fallen before and the worst part was knowing he really wasn't there to catch me.

"Hello, earth to Hailie?" Niall waved a hand in front of my face. I shook my head, bringing me fully back to reality.

"We are all going back to Louis and Harry's place after work, tell Vera and Emma to meet us there at six?" Zayn asked, sitting on the couch beside me. They had a small break from recording.

"Sounds good, I'll text them later. How's the songs coming?"

"Great! I can't wait for our fans to hear them. I hope they like them," Liam said, pulling out his phone, probably getting on Twitter. He was addicted, it was time for an intervention.

"Of course they will. How can they not like the sound of five amazing voices harmonizing perfectly? Uh, wow, fangirl moment, ignore that."

"Nope, we know all about you're secret shrin to us. You could have told us you were our number one fan," Louis winked at me from across the room. He had just walked in, so that must mean Harry was close behind him. Correctumongo.

He walked through the door and instantly my heart beat sped. Our eyes met and there was that familar twinkle. I wondered if the whole room could see the connection we had. Or I thought we had.

This has to stop. I can't keep doing this to myself. I have to tell him. Tonight. Tonight, I'm coming clean.

"Look, she's zoned out again. I wonder what she is thinking so hard about?" Niall wondered, pointing at me while he finished of his water bottle. Zayn flicked me.

"I'm plotting Zayn's death," I said seriously, smiling sweetly at the boys sitting in front of me. I made sure to skip over Harry, who was sitting diagonally to the left of me.

"Vera won't be happy about that," Liam muttered, Louis snickered and Zayn threw his shoe at Liam.

"That isn't nice!" Liam yelled. This started an argument about who did the meanest thing. They acted like intelligent three year olds.

"Children, children," Louis announced, standing up and spreading his arm out," we all know that Hailie is the meanest and that is that, can we get back to work now?" The boys looked at me, nodded their heads, and then walked back to the studio. Harry was slower than the others and I knew what was coming.

He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. He tried to kiss my lips but I turned my head, turning it into a peck on the cheek.

"Why do you do that? Did I do something?" Harry asked, frowning. Freaking monkey balls.

"No, it's just," I paused," here I'm your PA, so we shouldn't do that. Okay?" I looked up at him, hoping he didn't hear the quilt in my voice. It wasn't that big of a lie.

"You don't let me kiss you any other time either. Do you not like me? It seemed like you did a couple weeks ago."

If he only knew half of my feelings for him. Why did he have to ask this now? and here, too. I don't want to cry in front of people.

"It's just. I'll explain tonight,okay? We can talk tonight," I did my best to smile at him. Why must his eyes be so beautiful. All I want to do is stare into them all day long.

"Okay," he frowns," I want you to know that I really like you, and er...well, I'll talk to you tonight."

Does he have to say that? Does he have to get my hopes up and right now too, when I had decided to stop liking him. Does he know the effect he has on me?

He let go of me and ran out the door. I walked quickly to the bathroom and locked the door. Then I sank to the floor. I'm not going to cry. No tears will fall while I'm here, do you understand? You are a big girl, Hailie. Don't be a crybaby. Toughen up.

After a few minutes I got up and stood at the sink. Tell Harry everything. Write the article. Leave London. I chanted this over and over in my head and I fixed my hair and make-up. I put on my emotionless mask and walked through the door. I just have to get through today.

***Hello, I am going to write all day!!! This is the first chapter going to be posted today. I wonder if I can finish the book today???  What do you think will happen? How will Harry react?XD Love you guys!!!! Muah. Get ready for...crap to happen. ;) Stay wonderful. <3~Kita x
