Chapter 18

                                    

                                          

                          

                          

                          

                          
 KATIE’S POV
                          

                          

                          

                          
“Oh my gosh!” I exclaimed once I made out what was before me.
                          
“Is this yours?” I pointed to the boat in front of me, which had lights hanging romantically over the rails. The lights were a helpful touch  since you could'nt even see your hand infront of your face in this night sky.
                          
“I thought it would be a great way to be by ourselves.” Harry added as he helped me into the boat.
                          
This isn’t our first date but it is the first time we were out together. We would usually cuddle at home watching Titanic until we passed out or even cooking for each other and eating it in my candle-lit dining room. Of course we wanted to go somewhere, but I was always afraid of spotlight and not to mention the paparazzi. Cameras flashing in your face isn’t always pleasing to the eye.
                          

                          
“And that one’s name is Katie.” We were currently laying on the deck with my head on his stomach and his hand playing with my wavy brown locks.
                          
“You named a star after me?” I asked, astonished.
                          
“I picked out the brightest one. I even have a certificate to prove it”
                          
I giggled at Harry’s childish personality, one of my favorite things about him.
                          
“You’re crazy Harry.”
                          
“You love it, really.”
                          
Just then he closed the space between our faces with a sweet, passionate kiss. Harry was right; we were all alone with nothing to find us. I feel safe in his muscular arms, which were now around my tiny waist. But a flash of light interrupted our kiss.
                          
“Da fuq?” Harry said pulling away.
                          
I stood up to search for where it came from, but my suspicions were answered when not one, not two, but at LEAST twenty cameras were going off in my face from my right.
                          

                          
Paparazzi.
                          

                          
“How did they find us?” Harry asked, joining me by my side.
                          
“I don’t know… they must have been really desperate since they are all in their own boat.” I answered, trying to hide my face.
                          
“Ugh…” Harry growled, also hiding his face from the blinding lights.
                          
“We can never be alone. Not even once.” Harry muttered his thoughts out loud, dragging me back down onto the floor of the deck where no one could see us.
                          
“Listen Harry, I love you but I don’t think I can do this.  I’m getting hate, I can’t be alone, I –“
                          
“Shhh…” Harry pressed his finger against my lips, urging me to shut the hell up. “Katie, I know you are getting hate. I can’t really stop that but please know that I… I’m in love with you. There, I said it. I’ve meant to say that for so long but I was afraid. Please, stay. It’s you and me Katie. You and me taking on this world.” He whispered, his green eyes glistening. Oh, those eyes.
                          
“I understand but how can we take on the world with everyone on it watching?” I responded back in the same whispering tone.
                          
“I think I have a solution to that.” He smiled.

I.AM.SO.SORRY!!!
                          
My keyboard ran out of battery and I have no more batteries so my mom is going to go to the store in the morning and get some. (its 12;30 at night here in America, all you brittish peeps out there.) it takes for-ev-a to type on this ancient phone so I appoligize for having to make you wait.
                          
Maybe a few carrots can help.
                          
No?
                          
Okay…. :(
