Unexpected

Chapter 24

Samantha's POV:

“I can explain” his word echo in my head.

I don't know how I feel. I just felt like a kidnapped girl by a stranger. I knew he wasn't the guy I'd expected but that wasn't how I imagined him at all. He seemed scared himself. He actually was shaking, or did I see wrong. His thumb is still rubbing circles over my hand. I don't have the power to pull my hand back, I wish I could just forget about all this. I hear someone knocking on the car window as I look up.

“What” Harry groans as he opens the car door a bit.

“You are already late Harry, its time to go inside” Paul says and I even though I don't know him that much I know he sounds angry.

“We'll come soon” Harry says and wants to close the car door again.

“Now” Paul commands.

Harry looks so pissed. He groans and rolls his eyes as he takes a deep breath.

“I said we will come soon” with that he smashes the car door and turns to me again.

I jump at the sound of the door and he squeezes my hand slightly, my hands look so small in his big hands.

“I'm sorry” he says the third times and I finally manage to look him into the eyes. I nod but I can't open my mouth to say something back.

“This is not the person, I want you to see” he mumbles and looks down. “Its a long story why I reacted like this, but if you want I can tell you” his eyes meet mine again.

He looks sad. Exhausted. Embarrassed. I don't know what to do so I just nod. He takes another deep breath and pushes his beanie into his face before he pulls it back again.

“Okay” he starts “Did you see the car following us?” he asks me.

I nod.

“This was a Paparazzi , you know what that is right?” he squeezes my hand again.

I nod again and gulp down the fear about his next words.

“They're driving me insane” his voice sounds weak now. “They always follow me, ask me stupid question and whenever I'm seen with...” he stops and sighs.

I look up into his green eyes. Now I'm sure he is sad. His eyes look different almost like when I told him I hated him. He looks down after a moment and I now I squeeze his hand. He tries to smile before he sighs again and opens his mouth. I stare at his lips as he starts to speak.

“You know they want every single move I make to be a big story right?”

I nod.

“Did you read some stories about me before?”

I shake my head.

“Well” he smiles “I wanted to hide you”

I feel pain overcoming my body. He wants to hide me. I knew I wasn't enough for him. That's why he is so rude, or at least he was rude. I hold my breath. Don't cry Samantha don't cry.

“Okay..” I whisper and want to pull my hand pack out of his grip.

“No, not like that” he opens his eyes wider than I've ever seen it. They light makes them appear as if there were a light shade of blue, I know he has green eyes but..I look down again. He could seduce me with those eyes, he knows it too.

“I wanted to hide you because..” he stops and again pain runs through my body. “You know every time I'm seen with a girl, they write a big story about me being in a relationship and me dating this girl. And I just..” he stops and rubs his eyes. “I don't want to give them the chance to write another story. I hate those relationship stories and all that shit. That's why I didn't want someone to see you” he squeezes my hand and I look up at him.
