Chapter Fourteen: A Surprise at London Eye

The interview was a blast and now we were on our way to London Eye. Anne, Becca, and I could hardly sit still. We had no idea what to expect, the boys were being very secretive. I just kept thinking we had just done an interview with the boys dishing up secrets of what our relationships were becoming. Harry even kissed me in front of the entire audience. I was utterly afraid to check my twitter now. I didn't know if I was ready for all the hate and attention that would be sent my way. I would have to talk to Harry about it later tonight because I had to know. Maybe I would get on my twitter with him by my side and he would help me through it.

Paul kept telling us how well the interview had gone and he was proud of the boys behavior. He also kept mentioning that he was glad we were open about the relationship. He seemed to have a theory that when fans found out by other means how serious one of the boys was with a girl, they weren't as kind. I didn't understand why he thought that, but I was going to open about my relationship with Harry. They fans deserved to know the truth not to just hear rumors about if he was with one or with another or just having a simple fling. It's ridiculous how many rumors circulate! Harry just kept quietly chuckling as Paul kept going on and on about his theory. It was quite comical but because I was also a fan I could see his logic in it and I understood, kind of not really. Like I said it's Paul's logic and we all love him. :)

We pulled up to London Eye. Harry helped me out of the van and a really chilly breeze blew my hair across my face. "Jeez! The temperature certainly dropped quickly."

Harry opened his arms up to me. "Come here," he said. I walked into his embrace and he whispered in my ear, "I'll keep you warm." I chuckled and then sighed. He really was warm and I felt so safe with him. To be honest when he looked me in the eyes, it felt  like the entire world just disappeared and only he and I were left. I'd never felt this way about someone before and I counted my lucky stars that it was Harry Styles I felt this way for. His hands were rubbing my back and I sighed once more into his chest.

"Hey guys, it's our turn on the London Eye," Paul said.

I turned around in Harry's arms and we walked forward. He still kept his arms around me as we walked forward. It probably looked funny from behind because he was slightly waddling trying not to step on my heels. I giggled at his silliness. We got to where we're supposed to go on the London Eye and I was surprised when only Liam and Danielle got on the first one. "Harry, aren't we all going on together?" I asked.

He chuckled, I had to keep myself from jumping because his mouth was right next to my ear. I giggled and brought my shoulder up to my ear because it tickled. He laughed again, "What did that tickle?"

"Maybe..." I said uncertainly. I didn't know what he would do and as we were still waiting for a bit because we were going to be the last couple on the London eye, I was unsure. I heard him laugh again like he did when he's thinking and I suddenly became curious. He bent down a little bit more and then started to blow in my ear and nibble on my lobe. I squeal giggled and once again I brought my shoulder up to my ear. I bent my knees trying to get away from him. It tickled so much! "Harry! Ah! Harry stop! It tickles!" I kept repeating.

He laughed, "I'm only stopping because it's our turn to get on." He back off and gripped my hand in his as we entered. I was surprised to see a table set up for two in the middle of the egg shaped container-thing. I couldn't think of a word to describe it. There were candles and roses on the table. It was set up really fancy and I felt my heart constrict. I'd never had a date like this before. This Harry guy was seriously making my feels go off the charts. He was so amazing! There was sparkling cider on the rocks. I had to laugh at that. Oh my Harry! He had been listening to me when I told him all those things this morning. Wow! Was it really just this morning?! Crazy! Anyways... I'd told him I didn't really like alcohol or what it could do to people. He said he respected that and this action to where we had sparkling cider instead of champagne or something proved it.

We sat down by the table and enjoyed a very delicious meal. As we sat there eating, Harry asked, "So, I was wondering if we could define what's going on..."

I smiled at him, "Didn't we do that in the interview today?"

"Well, I don't know. We told the world we fancied each other..."

"And then you kissed me in front of a live audience. I think that says a little bit more than just fancying each other, Harry," I laughed.

He reached forward and gripped my hand. I made sure to pay attention because I finally noticed how serious he was being. "El, I really fancy you... like more than I have fancied someone in the longest time. You're not just beautiful on the outside but inside you're the most beautiful person I know. Everything about you makes me melt and tingle all over. The way I feel about you doesn't make sense with the amount of time we've known each other. It's been almost three days and I feel like I've known you for eternity. I want to be your everything and I want to see where this can go and grow into. I want to officially be dating and in a relationship because of the way I feel about you."

I was at a loss for words. In my wildest day-dreams and dreams I'd heard him say something similar to this. Never did I ever think he actually will. My eyes began to water. I was so happy. I gripped his hand tighter and gazed deeply into his eyes. When he started to read the emotion in them, his gorgeous grin graced his face. I giggled and answered finally being able to find my voice. "Harry, you don't know what it means to me to hear you say that. I've only ever dreamed about you saying something like that to me. I agree with you on how it feels like we've known each other for longer than we actually have. I want to explore what we have as well. My only concern is..." I paused and looked away.

"The fans and they way they'll react to everything. I know. The fact that you're a fan and know how some of the fans treat Liam and Louis' girlfriends and I understand you're concern. The only way to survive the comments is to remember they don't really know you. You have to focus on the comments from those who actually are nice. Those are the ones that count. I will be here every step of the way if you need me to," he smiled at the end of his speech and squeezed my hand a couple times.

I smiled at him again. "You're so amazing, Harry. I never understood why anyone could hate you and now I definitely don't understand why. You're such a gentleman and you have a big heart. I would give anything for my name to be written on it."

He chuckled and blushed as he looked down and then back up. "Your name already is and all I require in return is mine is written on yours."

"Your name has been written on my heart the moment I discovered One Direction and realized how amazing a person you are," I replied. I blushed at my honesty and he broke out in a gigantic smile. He stood up pulling me with him and laid one on me. I felt like a million butterflies were crawling over my skin and I wrapped my arms up and around his neck. We sat there locked for a while and in that moment I felt like I'd found my forever man.
