Age is just a Number
The Meeting
Chapter 11
Harry's POV
I got into the passenger side of Maria'a car.She turns the radio on and starts driving towards Simon's headquarters.I lean my head against the window.I want to be home cuddling with Brie.But no something always has to come in between us.I feel like a horrible boyfriend for having to leave her two days in a row,especially when she is sick.Couldn't Simon have just called?What is so important that he has to see us in person? I groan inwardly and close my eyes wishing I was anywhere but here.Maria pulls up at the headquarters.She links arms with me but I drop it and walk inside.Simon's secretary is sitting at a huge desk infront of hir office.I believe her name is Melissa.She motions for us to go in.I push open the double and enter.Simon is sitting in his chair,the back facing us.We take seats right infront of his desk and wait for him to acknowledge us.He spins around in his chair a few minutes later.
"Hello Harry,Maria,"he greets.
"Hi,Uncle Simon."
Maria smiles and waves.
"Well your"relationship"is going well.The press believes it.The fans believe it.I want to take it to the next stage."
"Excuse me!?"I half yell.
"Is something wrong?"He asks.
"Yes! I have a girlfriend and I'm tired of pretending to be with this slut!"
Maria slapped me across the face.My nostrils flared.No,no you can't hit a girl.
"She's not even your age.She's fourteen,get over her!"
"Never.Her birth certificate may say she's fourteen,but she has the mind and the soul of an eightteen year old!" I defend.
"Both of you knock it off.Is this all about Brisedis?"
"Yes."
Simon met Brisedia when we lost the X-factor.I think he liked her,not like that.He knew her,and he'd see reasons.He'd drop this whole me and Maria thing.He had too.
"Harry I don't approve that.Look what happened already because of the age difference."
"The fans would go crazy.They'd love the idea that I'm dating someone their age."
He paused,I guess thinking about it.He had to see reasons.Put yourself in a fans point of view:Oh my god,Harry Styles is dating a 14 year old. I still have a chance!We went back and fourth discussing both of ours side in this.Maria just sat there texting away in her phone.Good,I didn't want her in this.Simon was still diagreeing with me.Why won't he see how happy I am with Brie?The happiest I've been in months.Before Brie I was so depressed.No girl wanted me for me,they wanted me because I'm Harry Styles.I was generally depressed and everyone saw it,doesn't he see a difference in me?Does he even care what I want? I'm ending this NOW!
"I'm done with this.I'm telling the press the truth!"
I get out of my seat and walked toward the doors.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Harold!
"Watch me!"
With that I was gone.I stormed out of the headquarters and tried to hail a cab home.After several attempts I gave up,it's so hard to get a cab in London.I pull my phone out of my pocket.I text Lou and asked him to pick me up.He said Liam is on his way because he's laying with Brie,I should be laying with Brie.I go on Twitter while I wait.I compose a tweet.Time of the truth.
"Hey guys,I've got some news.Me and Maria never really dated.Simon made me "date"her because he thought it would look good.I've met a girl that makes me happy.I think I may love her.@Brie_Tomlinson is my real girlfriend.While I had to deal with Maria,Brie has been in bed sick.Please wish her better and unfollow Maria.Thanks to all who support us.
I post in.Instantly mentions started pouring in.A lot of people said they never like Maria anyway,a lot said they hated me.But more importantly,Team Stylinson is trending.I love our fans so much.Liam pulla up a few minutes later.
"Team Stylinson?"He teases as I get in the car.
"You were tweeting while driving!?
That's so unlike Liam.He always tells us about texting and driving.I'm really surprised.
"No!"Zayn told me.
"Vas happenin!"Zayn shouts from the backseat.
I shake my head.I told them all about what happened at the meeting.They teased me a bit about the tweet,the part where I said I might love her.I'll never live this down.Wait until Lou sees it,he's going to kll me .As if on cue,he calls me.I gulp and answer.
"Helo?"
"Team Stylinson?"A weak voice says.
"Brie?'
"Curly."
"Brie love,the fake relationship is over!"
"I saw the tweet."
I blush a little.She read the part where I said I think I like her.
"They love us,more inportantly you."
"Yeah,yeah.Get home my cuddle buddy ditched me,"she whined.
"I'll be there soon.Bye Tommo."
"Bye Styles,"she chuckles.
The line goes dead.
"Aww,Team Stylinson forever!"Zayn shouts.
I lean back and punch his leg.They both continue to tease me for the rest of the car ride.Finally we pull up infront of the house.I jump out of the car and run inside.I rush upstairs to find Brie's bed empty.I hear her in the bathroom,she's throwing up again.I go in and pull her hair out of the way.I slowly rub her back trying to clam her down.When she stops,she flushes the toilet.I help her clean up and put her back in bed.I crawl in next to her and pull her close.
"Hey Stylinson,"she whispers.
"Hay girl hay!"I yell trying to make her laugh.
She laugh and I feel a little better.I told her all about the meeting.She was so glad I got ird of Maria,so was I.I never ever liked Maria.I got back on Twitter,people were begging for a Twitcam.I haven't done one in a while,ah what the heck.
"Doa Twitcam with me."I beg.
"I look terrible."
"You look lovely as always."
"Sure...Finr I'll do a Twitcam with you,"She groans.
I open up a new tab and start one.
"Hey everyone,Tean Stylinson in the house!"
Brie chuckles and shakes her head.
"Please ignore how I look,I'm sick."She mumbles weakly.
"You look lovely,as always.She never believes me."
The comments start to pour in.About how cute they think Team Stylinson is.They also sad that they hated Maria.A lot said Brie was beatiful.She rolled her eyes at those comments.
"Stop that."
"Stop what?"She raises an eyebrow.
"Not believing you're beatiful.You are the most beatiful girl I've ever met.You're so insecure and you have no reason to be.You can give me those I don't know what you're talking about eyes all you want.You are beatiful,you hear me.The most beatiful girl,ever."
Her eyes got shiny.She smiles weakly and I pull her into a hug.I tenderly kiss her head.Then she tries to squirm out of my arms.I release her quickly and she runs to the bathroom.
"Erm,we'll be right back."
I run after her to help her.When I get her cleaned up,I pick her up and carry her bridal style back into the living room.When we got there the rest of the lads where sitting in Brie's bed talking to the fans.
"Aren't they the cutest,Tean Stylinson forever,"Niall turn the laptoparound so it's shooting us.
I wave at the camera and they turn it around.
"He's been taking care of her for six days.He refuses to leave her side,"Liam says.
"SarahStyles143 wants to know how long you and Brie have been together.Harry?"Zany asks.
I shoo them off Brie's bed and I tuck her in.We all sit down around her on the bed.I grab the laptop from them and sit it in my lap.
"Erm,only a few weeks,almost a month.I've known Brie for two yearsand it took me this long to tell her how I feel.I always had a crush on her but I was too shy to tell her."
"Aww,Styles!"
I lean down and kiss her forehead.The Twitcam last another hour or so.The lads mostly took it over doing a dew calls and stuff.Brie wouldn't let me leave her side.She clung onto me for dear life.
"I never knew you felt that way,"she whipered only low enough for me to hear.
"Well I do."
"I've always had a crush on you.It was the curls."She jokes.
"I knew it,I seduced you with the curls."
We laugh for a minute.
"If I could I would kiss you."She grins.
"You can,"I smirk.
"Then I'd get you sick."
"Then you'd get to reply the favor."
She slaps my arm.She said she won't kiss me until she's better.Then I guess I'll have to wait.
