Chapter 8- Love and Jealousy All Around

Quick A/N

Sorry again for the wait! But here's chapter 8! And please read my author's note at the end. I actually need your guys' opinions! Courtney xx

*Katherine's POV*

'I think I love you,' he said. He loved me. I couldn't believe it.

'I know you are probably annoyed at me, and maybe hate me, which was why I was surprised you smiled and texted me back in the car. I really am sorry for what I said earlier. You are not stupid. In fact, you must be the smartest woman I ever met. You're not like those girls who would throw themselves at me and the boys and just take our money. You want to get successful on your own.

'I was being a jerk for no reason. I was selfish and couldn't bear the thought of leaving you. So I got angry that you denied going on tour with us. You are perfect in every way. I have yet to see a single flaw in you. I love you. And you might think this is just one of my ways to get girls, but it's not. You are only the second girl I have ever told I love. The first had a sad ending, and is of no threat to you. She wouldn't be able to compare to you, anyways,' he said without a pause.

'It's gotta be you,' he added softly, cutely quoting a line from one of the band's songs.

I was just awestruck. Harry Freakin Styles loved me? But I just met him! Was this love at first sight? I didn't even believe in that. Did I? I knew there was something special about him from the moment I laid eyes on him in the cafeteria. This wasn't influenced by the fact I always had a soft spot for him from the beginning. This was just a connection I felt with him.

What about Zayn? If I felt anything for him, it must be because he went out of his way to listen to me. He was the type of guy I would want as a best friend. I don't think I wanted him as a boyfriend. But Harry...

To confess his love like that, and even to be so honest to tell me he loved another girl was a huge risk. I knew a lot of girls who would blow him off saying, 'If you loved her, then stay with her!' I wasn't a bitch though. Also, the fact that I was only the second girl he told he loved was a feat in itself. How many girls had his curls gotten? A lot. He easily could've said I was the first person he ever told that to to really reel me in, but he mentioned another girl, which could possibly make me jealous. It didn't. It just made me know he was telling me the truth.

I looked at Harry. He had so, so much hope in his eyes. He looked as if he was pleading me to forgive him. I wasn't even mad about that anymore. Telling Zayn my story let me blow off my steam, and helped me think clearly.

I might actually love Harry, I realized.

I mean besides the fact he called me stupid, he had been nothing but a sweetheart to me. He even wanted to ignore Paul's instructions to find out who I was. I have never met a guy who worked that hard just to know a name.

'Harry,' I said finally, 'I don't hate you. I might just feel the exact opposite.'

Confessing I may just love him back was a huge risk. Not in the way that he might not love me, because he just told me he did. It was a risk as in we might go out, and the fame and hate I feared would begin. Is love worth the jealousy?

Of course, you idiot, I thought silently. Why should I throw away a great relationship for some girls who just want Harry because he's famous? I shouldn't!

Harry was looking at me intensely. Before I realized what was happening, his lips were on mine. He kissed me! But what surprised me more was that I kissed him back. And it was amazing.

*Harry's POV*

I didn't even realize what I was doing until I did it. I actually kissed Katherine. And she kissed back! I have never felt so happy before.
