Harry's POV

"Come on, get up! We have to be there in less than an hour!" Niall calls from the other side of my door for the fourth time this morning.

"I'm awake! Just getting dressed." I climb out of bed and pull on my black skinny jeans, along with a blue button up shirt and a black fedora. I walk out to the kitchen, where Niall and Louis sit eating McDonalds. "Why do we have to have a meeting on a Sunday anyway?"

"Dunno, just that it's serious." Niall says with a mouthful of food.

"Paul just texted me. He has the car outside." We stand up and take the leftover food, exiting the flat. When we get inside the car, Liam and Zayn are already sitting inside. I don't know what this meeting is all about, but I get the feeling there is something the lads aren't telling me.

I am instructed to sit outside the office while the rest of the boys go inside. I don't like this, I feel they are going behind my back. Slowly, I walk to the door and press my ear to the door, trying to make out what they are talking about. I only hear bits, but it's something about me needing to get a girlfriend... they aren't going to...

"No! You can't do this! You guys are planning on finding some girl to hire as my girlfriend, aren't you?" I scream after I burst in. Simon is here, along with Tom and some people from Modest!.

"Harry, listen. We think it would be good publicity for you to have a girlfriend. A steady girlfriend. All these rumors of you hooking up with random girls aren't good for your reputation. Many people don't like the idea of you being a man whore." A man, who I assume works for Modest!, snarls.

"No, I won't do it. I don't want some annoying contract and some fake model girl who is only using me for the money. I want to be with someone I love! Not just anyone." I say, taking a seat next to Liam. I should get a say in my life.

"That's why we aren't having a contract. We have decided that we want you to date a fan. People would love it! There won't be any need for a contract because we all know any of your fans would jump at a chance to be your girlfriend. We just need to figure out how to choose one." Simon says, scratching his chin.

"And what if I don't want to?" I challenge. "Come on lads, you can't agree with this."

"We do think it could be good for you." Liam says, looking down at his hands.

"What about Niall? Or Louis?" I wave my hands towards them, furious my friends would betray me like this.

"Niall doesn't have an issue with hooking up with girls, and Louis just broke up with Eleanor, it would be weird if he all of a sudden got a girlfriend." Simon says calmly.

"So, are you in?" Tom asks.

"Fine. But I still think this is bull shit, and if I don't like the girl you guys choose, I'm not keeping her." I have to admit, this is a bit exciting. I could meet my dream girl, and she would be a fan! That's a bonus. I just wish the boys would've talked to me about it first. I hate being lied to.

"Great! Who knows, maybe we will have another engagement soon!" I roll my eyes, following the boys out to the car, imagining what this girl will be like.

Friday October 3, 2014

"Harry! Harry! Guess what today is?" Louis shouts excitedly when I walk out of my room in the hotel. All the boys are over here in Niall and I's room for breakfast, before we start our busy day of interviews, sound check, and a concert later tonight.

"Um, Friday?" I answer, grabbing a bowl and pouring some Lucky Charms in along with milk.

"Yes, but more importantly, the day you meet your future girlfriend!" Louis coos and I roll my eyes. I nearly forgot about that dumb agreement, it was ages ago. The boys have been working on finding "the perfect girl" for me, so they've taken their time.

"You wanna see a picture of her?"Liam asks, waving an envelope in the air. I snatch it from him and sit on the sofa as the boys surround me. I open the letter and pull out a photo of a girl. She is absolutely breathtaking, possibly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Brown curly hair, tan skin, dark brown eyes, and that smile...

"What's her name?" I ask, trying not to sound too interested. I don't want the boys knowing I think they did a good job, because I'm still pissed they went behind my back.

"We want you to figure that out." Niall says with a wink.

"How old is she? She looks a little young." I say, looking back at the picture.

"Well, she is a bit... younger than you're used to. But we all felt a spark when we saw her picture. She is only 16, but turning 17 on the 8th." Liam says. I know I always said I want a younger girlfriend, but 16?

"Is that even legal?" I ask and the boys crack up.

"Yeah, as long as their is no sexual intercourse." Zayn says, giving me a stern look.

"What's that look all about?"

"Nothing, just hope you can keep your dick in your pants. That's the last thing we need, legal issues." Zayn replies and the rest of the guys agree.

"Shove off Zayn. I can control myself. Where did you guys even find her?" I wave the picture in the air.

"On Instagram. We have been looking through people's profiles for months trying to find the right girl. When I saw her, I knew she was the one. And everyone else agreed as well." Niall says proudly.

"So, what do you think?" Louis asks, nudging me with his elbow.

"It's not like I really have a choice, but she's okay." I say casually, slipping the picture into the pocket on my shirt.

"Okay great. She will be at the concert tonight, so we will tell security to keep a close eye on her. We have something special planned for her to meet you. Here's how its gonna happen..."
