You Lost Me
Chapter Twenty-Seven
Bella’s POV
Camera flashes blind us as we walk down the street, “Just keep your head down, love.”, he whispers in my ear. I do as he says and keep my head down ignoring all the questions the paparazzi are asking us. Well, mostly Harry. It’s just a short walk we’re talking from the car to wherever Harry’s bringing me. It should’ve only taken a few minutes if we weren’t being surrounded and yelled at by paps. Harry has had his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to him this whole time. He has his head up to guide us as I try to bury mine into his arm. I’m directing left and Harry’s arm leaves my shoulders causing me to look up, to look for him. He’s wearing an adorabley dimpley smile, “After you, m’lady.” He holds the door open for me. I take a step in and look around. Harry had refused to tell me where he was going to take me, but here we are. An oldish looking movie theater? “Ready?” he asks. I smile and nod before taking his hand in mine. He leads me inside as I look around. It’s a very small and quaint theater. There’s only one actual theater with a screen in it. “Would ya like some popcorn?”, he interrupts my thoughts.
“Of course!”, that’s an easy enough question to answer. Who goes to the movies and doesn’t get popcorn?
“One medium popcorn please!”, he asks the older lady at the counter. I don’t know why he got one, I could easily eat one by myself and I know he could too. Even if we had just eaten dinner. His hand only leaves mine when he goes to pay and then it finds mine right away again. I lean my head on his shoulder while we wait for the kind lady to bring back the popcorn. “Thank you!” And with the popcorn in one hand and my hand in his other he walks directly into the movie theater.
“Wait! Don’t we need to go by tickets?”, I stop walking and look up to him confused.
“I, ehm, already got them. I got the whole theater so we don’t have fans or paps bugging us. I just wanna be with you.” Awh, that’s cute, I’m positive I’m blushing right now. I just give him a nod and a smile that I didn’t even need to ask to appear on my face before we walk into the theater together.
I was right, it is small. And adorable. It gives off a homey feeling and I love it. “So, how’d you find this place?”, I ask him once we’re seated in the best seats in the house. We had lots of choices and no competition.
“Well, when you first came to London”, he looks over at me as I stuff a full handful of popcorn in my mouth, “I took you here. So it was our first ‘British’ date.”
I try to smile but my mouth is too full of popcorn to even do that. Harry starts laughing at me and I try to chew as fast as I can so I can laugh without choking too.
***
I honestly couldn’t tell you what that movie was about. Don’t even know the name of it. All I know is it started with me eating all the popcorn (Harry said he had some too but he was just being nice. I literally ate all the popcorn), then we did the awkward “move your hand slowly closer to mine so I can hold it” thing, then Harry got impatient and took my hand. Then somehow, we ended up making out for most of the movie. When we stopped we watched the last ten-ish minutes of the movie, completely confused, and then it ended and here we are! It was a great time.
“I hope the paps aren’t out again”, he throws his arm around me as I giggle. “Bye Barbara! Thank you!”, Harry says to the older lady at the ticket and popcorn counter. She smiles and waves back to us. He can even charm an older lady. Of course he can.
I open the door stopping immediately after noticing the heavy rain pounding down and thunder. Harry looks outside before taking off his jacket and putting it over me. I was feeling a bit stubborn earlier when I decided to wear a dress and Harry tried to convince me to bring a jacket or something, but I refused. “Thank you!”
“Do we run or walk to the car?”, he asks looking between me and the pouring rain right in front of us.
I lean down and unbuckle my heels, “Oh we’re running!” So, I take off with Harry’s coat over me and my heels in hand. Cameras are flashing at us but what’s new? My only question is, why on earth would they wait for us in the rain just to see us run right by them?
Harry makes it to his car first although I’m right behind him! He opens my door quickly and I hop in before he shuts it and runs around the car to the driver’s side.
I wipe my eyes from the tears that I’m crying from laughing so hard. I don’t know why I bother wiping my cheeks, they were already wet from the rain. “That was interesting”, Harry says once we’re both safe in the car.
“It was!”, he starts the car and begins driving home, “I loved the theater, but honestly, I couldn’t tell you what that movie was about at all.”
“Same here! I was a bit distracted”, he laughs as he glances over at me. I blush a bit just remembering things getting a little heated. We sit in silence before he turns on the radio. I love driving in the rain. There’s something so relaxing about listening to the raindrops hit the car and watching them roll down the windows.
Our comfortable silence is broken by the sound of Harry’s phone ringing. He picks it up to look at it, “It’s Louis.” he presses answer.
“Oh no mister!”, I rip the phone from his hand, “We’ve been in one too many car accidents together. I’ll talk to Louis.” he laughs and shakes his head at me. “Hi Lou!”
“Hey Bell-Bell! What’s up?”
“Harry and I went on a date.”
“Wow! Tell me all about it!”, he says in his sarcastic girly voice.
“Well, we started off by holding hands, but then one thing led to another and we were making o-”, he wanted the details!
“Okay, okay! That’s alright, I was kidding!” he stops me.
“And I wasn’t.”, I’m stubborn. I know.
“I’m assuming you won’t put Harry on the phone, but can you at least put the phone on speaker.”, he must’ve heard me scold Harry when he tried to answer the phone while driving.
“What’s the magic word?”, there’s that stubborn-ness again.
“Now.”
“That’s not right, silly goose! You aren’t talking to him until you say please!”
“May I pretty, pretty please talk to Harry?”
“That’s more like it”, I move the phone away from my ear, “K you’re on speaker. Talk away.”
Harry laughs. At least he thinks I’m funny, even if Louis doesn’t, “What’s up, Lou?”
“I was gonna ask if you and your lovely girlfriend wanted to come over, but now I’m thinking of only inviting you.”
I roll my eyes and pout, “Sorry mate, we’re a package deal. It’s either both of us or neither.” this is why I like Harry. This is why he’s my boyfriend and not Louis.
“Fine”, Louis sighs causing me to roll my eyes again.
“We’re in the car driving home right now, can we just come straight to yours then?”
“Yeah, Liam, Danielle, and Niall are all already here.”, of course they are.
“K, see ya in a bit!”, I hang up the phone before Louis can say anything just to annoy him. He thinks he’s so funny, but two can play at that game.
“We’re gonna show up like sopping wet messes”, I laugh.
“Eh, it’s only the guys and El and Dani.” Harry shrugs, “Besides, you look beautiful anyways.”
“As do you”, my cheeks are heating up.
Today started bad, with a hangover, but it’s ending good. I think I like today.
