Fighting for Love [Louis Tomlinson]

Chapter 3

Harry and I haven't agreed to actually "go out" yet. For one, I don't think anyone would support our relationship and two, only Alexa knew about us. And I wasn't exactly sure how Louis was going to take it. If he took it at all.

Harry and I both agreed that we needed to talk this situation out. So, we were going to meet a a coffee house in London. And I was nervous because I knew I liked him and it could get awkward at some point in time. 

I sat in my car for a minute, resting my head against the stearing wheel, thinking about how I was going to handle this. I mean, what was I going to say?

I opened my door, and walked into coffee shop a little hesitant. Harry was sitting at one of the tables in the far back corner, looking over as soon I walked through the door way.

He smiled and waved as I walked back toward him. No one was asking for autographs or talking to him. Just older people minding there own business. 

"Hey Harry." I said as I sat down on the wooden chair.

"Hi Rach. How've you been?"

I sighed. "Okay. How about you?"

"I'm okay. Just been thinking a lot lately. About-us."

"Yeah. Definately something that we need to talk about."

"Should we just be together and not have anyone know?" he suggests.

"I'm not sure. I mean, it'd be hard not having the boys know. Especailly Louis. He's your best friend."

"I know. I don't want to betray him or anything, but I have a right to date who I want, right?"

"Yeah. But Alexa knows about our situation."

"Really? That's fine and all, but I think we need to keep it between us."

"Fine. But if the press blows it, we can't lie." I say. 

"I know. The world would be confused."

"And you can't really lie."

He sighs. "I know."

"Well, what do you want to do?" I ask, being open to any options right about now.

"Well, I obviously want to be with you. But how many people would hate us for this?"

"Who says anyone has to know?"

"But how hard is that going to be? People follow me everywhere."

"We'll just act casual around other people and be as coupley as we want by ourselves." 

"I suppose we could give it a shot." He says, nodding.

"Can I at least tell Alexa? I need a girl to vent to sometimes."

He smiles. "Go ahead."

"So are we officially going to be together?" 

"If you want."

"Well, I feel like the world will want me to be with Louis. And if any of the boys find out, they won't trust us. Like we kept a big part of our lives away from them."

"True. "

"But I do want to be with you."

"Then who's stopping us?" he says and smiles.

"No one."

"Then why don't we be together?"

"I don't have a reason." I admit, shrugging my shoulders.

"Then will you be my secret girlfriend?" he asks, taking my hand.

"I would love to."

He smiles. "Do you want some coffee?"
