Chapter 20: Chef Horan

Harry’s POV

 *In the car on the way to One Direction’s house*

I looked outside and saw that we had just passed the neighborhood sign, ‘Birchwood Heights’. Then I stole a glance at Jane. She was fiddling with her hands. (She’s nervous, I thought). I held her hand and squeezed it. ‘Relax’, I whispered softly into her ear. That calmed her down a bit as I saw her slowly relaxing.

Lonardo: ‘We’re here’, he said.

I got out of the car and helped Jane out. Lonardo then drove off to park the car. I walked with Jane to the house, and as we reach the front door, I turned her to face me and took her blindfold off. She blinked a few times before looking at me.

Jane: ‘Where are we?’, she asked nervously looking around her.

Me: ‘Home. Where the lads and I live’, I said.

Jane: ‘You live here?’, she said surprised. ‘To avoid the paparazzi and your fans?’, she said smiling.

Me: *laugh* ‘You bet! Now let’s go in, everyone’s waiting for you,’ I said as walked in with her.

Jane’s POV

I felt the car move soon after Harry blindfolded me. (I wonder where he’s taking me, it might be private. I don’t think he would want to be chased by his fans; so where would he take me?)

I fiddled with my hands. (Well, wherever it is, I really hope this date is not a prank). Suddenly, I felt his hands gently squeezing mine and he whispered softly ‘Relax’ in to my ear. I felt my cheeks grow warm. (I hope he won’t notice it). His voice sounded soothing so I relaxed a little. Then I felt the car came to stop. (So, we’re here).

Bodyguard: ‘We’re here’, he said.

(I wonder where ‘here’ is).

Harry helped me out of the car and I heard the car drove away. He walked with me for a bit then we stopped and I felt him turning me to face him. When he took the blindfold off, I had to blink a few times to get my eyes adjusted to the light. Then I looked around me.

Me: ‘Where are we?’, I said as I glanced nervously around. (We’re definitely not in town, but a neighborhood. Does he live here? Or is there another reason that we’re here?)

Harry: ‘Home. Where the lads and I live’, he said.

Me: *surprised* ‘You live here?’, I said. ‘To avoid the paparazzi and your fans?

 (Okay, that was a silly question. Obviously Jane, I scolded myself)

Harry: *laughs* ‘You bet! Now let’s go in, everyone’s waiting for you!’, he said as he walked in with me.

(Everyone?)

Niall’s POV

*In the kitchen*

(Okay, so I’ve got the nachos, grilled chicken and chips). I looked at my menu spread for Harry’s date on the kitchen counter. ‘I need desserts!’ I said aloud.
