Photograph me

Harry nipped out to go see an old friend. He says only for a couple hours so that leaves me, yet again, at his place on my own. I've tried everything to keep my self satisfied. I went on my phone, I watched Netflix on his Tv, I ate, god I even tried cooking myself a meal. Didn't go to plan by the way.

I've came to the conclusion that I need to get out and cherish the last moments of freedom I'm going to have. However, Ashley is with mystery man and I do have other friends who have been asking to see me. However, I haven't spoken to them in a while and they have no clue I'm pregnant. So I decided to save myself the hassle of questions and go out by myself.

I messaged Harry to tell him I'm going so he wouldn't come home to find I've gone and be shocked because I promised him I'd stay.

To Harry: Hey I got a little bored so I might go out for a bit I won't be long x

He took a while to reply so I grabbed my coat and slid some shoes on and my phone buzzed.

From Harry: What who with?

To Harry: I'm going by myself. I was thinking of taking a walk or driving to go get coffee maybe?

I preferred the idea of driving because my feet could kill me if I'm standing to long plus I get tired easy with all the extra weight.

From Harry: You cant drive you're too far along and what if something happens to you?

I was going to reply but he sent me another text.

From Harry: Stay where you are I'm leaving now and we have that photo shoot to go to so go get ready I'll be 20 minutes.

I really wanted some last few moments by myself but I didn't tell him that because I didn't want him to worry as he was clearly worked up.

To Harry: okay I forgot about that.

I lied.

I guess I just wanted to enjoy the last time I'll be able to walk freely without people trying to take my picture on the side of a street. After today people are going to know who I am and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

"Tana I'm back!" I hear Harry yell but I was at the other end of the house in the back garden laid on the grass.

I put my AirPods back in as I'm sure he will find me soon and let the music fill my ears.
It took him a good five minutes to finally realise the back door was open and I was here.
I hear him mumbling but the music drowns him out until he comes and takes one of my AirPods out.

"Tana can you hear me!" He says loudly.
"Ow gosh yeah I can now!"
"What are you doing out here it's freezing."
"No it's not. I'm enjoying the fresh air." He rolls his eyes and laughs lightly before giving me his hand to help me up.

To be honest I was delaying getting ready for this photo shoot as I was nervous. I couldn't go out earlier so I did the next best thing.

"Come inside we need to leave." He says while helping me up.
"Bloody hell I didn't think part through." I say as I grab my back trying to find my balance again on my feet.
"Go grab a jacket we need to leave."
"No Harry I'm not ready I haven't done my makeup."
"There's makeup artists there and hairstylists don't worry and we aren't being photographed by the paparazzi till after when we grab coffee. That's what Jeff has told me anyway."
"That's just made me more nervous" I moan as I woddle next to him through to the front door grabbing my bag.

We pulled up outside a huge studio warehouse and was met by a nice man I think he was called Paul.
I smiled and shook his hand and Harry spoke to him as we made our way to the dressing rooms.
