Chapter 7

As I drive home I can't make my mind up if I'm more nervous or excited, the prospect of what is to come excites me but the thought of spending a night alone in hotel with Harry and all the media knowing about it makes me nervous as hell.
Back at my apartment I start putting things in to an over night bag, I'm not worried about what I pack at the end of the day this is work and it's not like I'm going to be sleeping in the same room with him. I throw my fluffy pyjamas in the bag, and some jeans for tomorrow. I make sure I pick up my make up, not that I wear a lot of it but I most definitely feel better with it.
Once I've packed my bag I make myself a sandwich for lunch and wait for my next instruction from modest. I'm never at home during the day I'm always at work so I don't actually know what to do with myself, I check the time, it's a little before 12pm so I decide to call Lily hoping that she's on her lunch break. after a few rings it goes to voicemail.
"hi, this is lily I'm in a meeting at the moment, wait for the beeps you know what to do and I'll get back to you."
"Hey Lily, just checking in. I wanted to let you know I signed the contract and I already have my first task.... I'm off to spend the night at an hotel with Harry some where, I didn't know much more than that. Catch you later." I hang up knowing all to well that she will most probably know more than me about what's going on.
The time passes by slowly, and I feel like I'm constantly checking either my phone of the time. After a while of being more than a little bored I decide to check out this whole Twitter account that has been made for me, I'm really new to this and don't have a clue what I'm doing. I see that there are a few people following me, none that I actually know I can't help but wonder if they are fake accounts too, I check to see who I'm following and I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't shocked when I see that I'm not following Harry, I thought that would be one of the first things that they would do, unless that is the don't want to draw too much instant attention to the situation.
I scroll up and down the news feed follow a few celebrities that I have a slight interest in, I start to find it quite interesting. My phone beeps in my hand making me almost jump out of my skin.

1:49pm

Miss Scott your car will arrive at 2:30pm please be waiting at the door of your building
Regards modest

Oh shit, oh shit, shit, shit! This just got real I make sure I have everything I need, turn off the TV and pick up my bag before making my way down to the entrance hall.
I can't help but twiddle my thumbs, and chew on my nails... Shit I'm so nervous I've got to get a grip this isn't even funny any more, I've met him, I've had a conversation alone with him I CAN fucking do this. This is my job now!
Every car that slows down makes my stomach flip, I'm completely overcome by butterfly's. Just as I'm about to pull my phone out of my pocket and check the time AGAIN a big black Range Rover stops right in front of the buildings doors, I instantly know that car is meant for me, I wait patiently expecting some suited driver to get out to come and collect me but that doesn't happen. My jaw almost hits the floor when harry climbs out of the drivers side, I wasn't expecting this.
He smiles and gives me a little wave as he makes his way to the entrance of the building, I pick up my things and walk out of the door. "Hi, I wasn't expecting you." I say as I stand before him.
He leans forward and kisses my check "I know, but I thought if we arrive and check in together it will set people talking and by the time we go for dinner later there should be some interest."
Wait, what dinner?! I wasn't told about this, I haven't packed anything suitable for going to dinner with one of the most well known guys on the fucking planet. "Erm slight problem, no one said anything about dinner. I haven't really packed anything suitable." How could I not be told this? I now look like a total idiot!
"Don't worry, there's no rush you can go grab something." He smiles making those cute little dimples he has pop. "Thank god for that, do you wanna come up?" I ask
"Yeah sure." He follows me up to my apartment, I feel a little nervous as we pass a couple of people on the stairs, Harry smiles and says hello to them and I can't help but smile at how polite he is to everyone he meets. I fiddle with the key in the door before opening it "grab a seat I won't be a sec." He nods and walks over to take a seat on the sofa.
I rush around the bedroom slightly frantic, I haven't got a fucking clue what to take to wear for dinner, fuck fuck fuck! I pull dresses, skirts and a whole other mountain of things out and throw them on the bed before the simple black lace dress at the back of my wardrobe catches my eye, I brought this dress for my graduation dinner that I never went to because of my damn parents and their messed up marriage. I pull it out and look at it for a moment or two, this could actually be perfect, I gently fold it and put it on top of my bag it's going to need to be hung as soon as we get to the hotel, I pick up my expensive perfume the whole plan of my night has changed now, if I'm going to be seen with harry for the first time and potentially meet people I want to look and feel my best.
Now it's time to get back to Harry, as I leave my bedroom I can see him, he has his back to me and he's on his feet looking out of my living room window "I'm ready, shall we go?" I ask
He turns to me "yeah, do you have everything you need?" I nod my head and make my way over to the door "you have a really great place here, do you live alone?" He asks
"Yeah, it's all mine and only mine, I like it that way but it does get lonely sometimes."
"Hmm I understand that."
As we get to the entrance all I notice there seems to be more people around than I would normally expect, and as we get to the car I spot a few girls on their phones it looks to me like they are taking pictures, holy shit how do these people know where he is? Is This what I'm about to let myself in for?
Harry opens the passenger door for me "looks like the fun is about to begin." He says as he closes my door, I want to ask him what he means but it's too late the door is closed, I watch as one of the girls goes unbelievably giddy as Harry waves over to them before walking round to his side of the car and getting in.
"Okay, let's get to this hotel." He starts the car and pulls away. I want to ask him about the girls at my building but I feel kind of awkward, we've been driving for about 10 minutes in silence and I just can't take it any longer. "Was that normal.... You know back at my building." Harry briefly takes his eyes off the road, he studies my face like he's looking for some thing in my expression. "That.... Well that was actually really tame, just wait until the media know I have a new 'friend' then you will see what is normal."
I swallow hard but the lump in my throat doesn't seem to want to go away, shit I really should of put more thought into this before I signed that contract. "Hey, are you ok?" Harry asks, my eyes are fixed on the road trying to figure out if I've just made a huge mistake. "Urm yeah.... I'm fine. Just got a few things to get used to I suppose."
"Don't worry I'll be with you all the way, we're a team now remember I promise I'll look after you."
I smile at him somehow his words do make me feel safe, he's used to this now but I imagine at some point all of this was new to him and I can't help but wonder if he felt as nervous as I do.
