Is This Really Happening?

Chapter 5

I stood in my room the next morning preparing myself for the things to come in the next week. I had looked up online all the popular magazines in London and there were only a few that have magazines out every week. I still had 2 days before that picture would be on a magazine cover, but I didn't know how long I had until it hit the internet. I was hoping that there were better stories out there so that I didn't end up on any cover. I still hadn't told my parents anything about what happened yesterday.

We got a call that the ship was here with all of our belongings. We spent the day unpacking all of our stuff. I was rummaging through a box of old antiques when I randomly received a text from Harry.

Harry: Hey babe, cant wait for tonight!

I started to smile and blush and Ben just sat there staring at me.

"Mom she doing it again" Ben said.

"Ben, your such a dork" I said laughing his comment off.

That evening I got ready for my date. I had found in the bottom of one of my boxes the perfect outfit. It was a short black pencil skirt that fit me perfectly. I wore a nice shirt that clung to my body, but wasn't to tight. It was a striped top with the word 'love' printed across the chest. I was applying a small amount of makeup when the door bell rang. 

I could here from my room that Ben answered it.

I could barley hear but I made out the words that Harry said. "Hi, I'm Harry. Is Natalie there?"

"Yeah hang on." he said to Harry. "Natalie you dates here!" Ben shouted up the stairs.

That made my parents come to the door as well. They made us sit in the living room for a few minutes while my parents questioned Harry. They were finally done and we headed out the door.

"Don't be too late" my dad said as we shut the door. 

My parents usually didnt have strick rules for me, just wanted me to check in periodicly to make sure I was okay.

"So where are we going?" I asked curiously.

"You'll have to see." He said.

"Last time I heard that was when Liam surprised me with meeting the rest of the band" I said.

"So you obviously like surprises since you met me. Don't you?" he said on the flirty side.

I laughed, "I dont know I guess we'll have to wait and see if it works out."

"Will you let me know when you figure it out" he gave me a wink.

We went out to dinner at a beautiful restaurant. We talked about all sorts of stuff just like I had with Liam. The only difference is that I actually have feeling for Harry. After dinner we didn't wait around because he said he had another surprise for me.

We got into his and started driving. We arrived at some luxurious apartments building and I assumed that he lived there. 

We went up to the roof top of his apartments. We sat there watching the sunset over the city. It was an incredible view. One that I had never seen back in the U.S. London was so beautiful. All the buildings and sites lit up as the sky turned darker. Harry's arm was around me holding me close.

We went and sat down on the ground against the wall after the sun went down. We spent another hour just talking about the past and getting to know each other. I didn't want the night to ever end. The view from there looked like I could see the whole city. It stretched for miles in every direction.

"The only thing better than the view is you" Harry expressed.

I blushed and smiled. "Thank you."

He leaned in getting ready to kiss me. My body started to heat up and I closed my eyes and tilted my head a little. His gentle kiss set off fireworks. My whole body lit up and I never wanted to leave that moment. I slowly pulled away and just stared into his radiating green eyes. I had always been a sucker for green eyes. But his were different, eyes like I had never seen before.

I whispered, "That was my first kiss" I confessed.

"How was it?" he replied softly.

"Perfect, it was amazing."

He kissed me again more passionately. I didn't know I could feel this good after a kiss, it was like a match that just lit me on fire. I was incredible happy, and I couldn't believe that I had gone my whole life without a kiss like that.

On the ride back home we talked about what was going to happen tomorrow morning, if the picture was going to be exposed. I had to prepare my mind for a ton of hate that came along with dating someone famous. I realized though that we weren't even official. We had only just had our fist date. I also wondered where things would go from here and if I was just another fling that Harry had. I didn't want it to end. He was so genuine and caring and not to mention hot of course but there was so much more. So much more of him that I wanted to know about. When I was with him it was like a teenage dream. He was just another ordinary teenage boy, not someone famous. We pulled up to the house and I felt something trickle down my face. He saw and pulled me close. I started crying harder.

"I can't do this. I want to be with you but I can't deal with all the hate that's about to come." I managed to choke out.

"I don't want to lose you Natalie. I want to be with you too, but I don't know how to solve this. Can we just take it one day at a time?"

"I want to know if this is something that's going to last. I don't just want a summer fling. I want a real relationship. Can you give me that?"

"Of course, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Yes, Harry I will be" I replied giving him a big smile.

I wiped away my tears and kissed him goodnight. I ran straight to my room and started to cry into my pillow. Ben walked by and came straight in and held me and asked me what was wrong.

"Did that guy hurt you? Because if he did I'll kill him" he said.

"No Ben, you don't need to do that. Everythings fine with him." 

I told him everything. The paparazzi's, the kiss, the date, the first time I met all the boys, everything that had happened since we got here. To my surprise my little brother actually cheered me up. He listened close and said he was willing to do anything for me. He left a little while later and I fell right asleep a little happier than before.
