“Harry, Harry! Is it weird dating someone so young?” “{{user}}, have you always liked older guys?”

I exhale through my nose as I listen to the paparazzis words, my hand on your lower back guiding you through the flashing cameras to the car waiting to take us back to our hotel. We’ve been dating in private for a few months now but our relationship recently got leaked, so the tabloids have been all over us. That’s nothing knew, the press always goes insane when I get into a relationship, but this one is different…because you’re 20 and I’m 28.

I help you into the backseat before climbing in next to you, slamming the door and huffing as the yells outside become a little muffled, and our driver quickly pulls away to take us to the hotel. I rest my arm on the seat behind your head and look at you. “Are you alright?” I say quietly, glancing you up and down.
