Recap:
Harry whispered a small "Night, Lou." Louis smiled at the nickname. I mean, yeah, he gets called 'Lou' by all of the boys, but for some reason it sounds different coming from Harry.
Louis walked out the room and shut the door quietly. He walked back to the boys and continued to talk about 'Lorenzo' .
(Next day: in living room watching Tv with The boys - Time 5:52pm)
"This is boring!" Niall complained, "There's never anything good on anymore!"
"Oh, calm yourself Nialler." Zayn joked. "Just put a CD in then."
"Yeah! Can we watch Aladdin?" Harry suggested, snuggling more into Niall's side.
"Okay But Louis is putting the disk in." Louis gave Niall an 'are you kidding me?' Look. " What? I'm too comfy and I'm sure Harry is too." Harry nodded sheepishly.
Louis rolled his eyes then proceeded to put 'Aladdin' in the disk player.
(Movie ended - Time 7:34pm)
Niall and Harry fell asleep in each other's arms. Louis was half asleep and Liam and Zayn were wide awake talking about what movie to put on next.
"D'you think we should give Harry a bedtime?" Zayn asked Louis. " I mean, he always ends up sleeping really early and then stays up for most of the night." He elaborated.
Louis rubbed his eyes sleepily and nodded. " yeah, and he won't-yeah. Yeah just- you're telling him." Louis said through a yawn. Zayn nodded then put in 'Wall-E'
"What time do you think?" Liam asked while sitting next to Zayn. Louis and Zayn both shrugged.
"Dunno, bab- mate." Zayn coughed awkwardly, thankful that Louis didn't hear his slip up. " how 'bout... he goes bed at 8?" Zayn suggested.
"Yeah, that seems reasonable..." Louis agreed. "Now, how are we going to get both of them upstairs? They're basically attached to each other."
"We could leave them?" Liam said
"Or one of us gets Niall and the other get Harry?" Zayn recommended.
"Or we wake them up." Louis suggested.
"Or you three shut up." Niall mumbled, making all three men jump. "I'll take Harry up myself." He added.
" Well do it quickly Niall. He'll wake up with a sore back if he stays there any longer." Liam chuckled. " and we still have to go through the files we have on Lorenzo." He continued
"Ten more minutes." Niall whined. " Set a timer if you 'ave to."
"Okay. Timer has been..." Zayn trailed off while setting the alarm. "Set. If you don't get up after this timer, we I'll chuck ice water on you." He threatened.
"Yeah yeah whatever." Niall replies, waving a dismissive hand at them. His eyes were closed the whole time, so he didn't see Liam flip him off.
Harry is now in bed and Niall is warming up and drying off with layers of blankets - time 8:07)
"f*****g hell guys. I didn't t-think you would a-actually throw w-water on me! It's bloody freezing." Niall shivered.
"You should have woken up when the alarm went off then." Liam laughed
"Anyways." Zayn announced, handing Liam a piece of paper, "we're here to talk about Lorenzo, not how cold you are." Niall gave Zayn a glare.
"Okay so what have we got on him so far?" Louis asked, taking the paper from Liam.
"Well, his name is Lorenzo Mateo, he's 27, is a gang leader, obviously. Spanish. He has three brothers; Sebastian (28), Diego (26) and Antonio(30), all gang leaders. But right now we don't know if all of them are under their real names or have been given fake ones.
"Nice work Zayn." Louis commended
" Okay, so if they were all under fake names, who do you think would give them the supplies?" Liam asked, taking the sheet back from Louis.
"Don't know" Louis replied, looking up from the papers on his desk. " it could literally be anyone." He stated.
"Yeah. Look at this," Liam pointed to a name, 'Allen Hays'. "Who do you think that is?" He quizzed.
"He might be the one who gave thenm the fake ID and bank card." Niall stated.
"Not gave, we don't know yet. Zayn, search him up. See what he's all about." Louis demanded.
"Already on it, boss."
"Good, whatcha got?" Louis quizzed.
"He is a 29 year old male, sells guns and fake IDs, as well as other weaponry." Zayn started " He is Spanish and is from a middle class family, that's what I got so far."
"Well done, mate." Louis praised. "That gives us a head start."
"Hey, should we go bed now? We'll carry on in the morning." Niall suggested.
"Yeah, yeah sure why not." Louis agreed.
"Alright see you in the morning." Niall waved, walking up stairs with Liam.
"You coming?" Louis asked Zayn, standing up and stretching, making his was towards the stairs.
"Umm, yeah, one sec." Zayn answered, Louis nodded and proceeded to walk up the stairs.
(In Louis' room time 9:02)
" Lou?" Harry called, sitting up sleepily.
"Yea, love?" Louis was sitting at his desk, sorting a few papers. " what you need?" He asked, walking over to the bed and laying next to Harry, pulling him into his side.
"Nothing. Just wondering where you were." He said sheepishly.
"Oh, well I'm coming bed now so no need to worry, babe" Harry blushed at the nickname. He looked up to Louis with a smile on his face. "What? Is there something on my face?" He said jokingly.
"No...you're just really pretty." Harry said bashfully.
"Oh, haha, I've never been called 'pretty' before. Thank you, love."
"No problem." Harry tiredly rubbed his eyes, still looking at Louis admiring all his features; his high cheekbones, his thin lips, dazzling blue eyes. He was just perfection in Harry's eyes.
"Hm, oh yeah just so you know, me and Liam are going to do some business in a few days so if you wake up and me and Liam aren't here that's why. and you will be stuck with Zayn and Niall for the whole day." Louis chuckled.
"Oh, okay...why does Liam have to go?" He questioned.
" 'cause he is one of my strongest men. Why? Do you not want him to go?" Louis quizzed, a smile forming on his face.
"No, no not really. But if he has to then that's fine...I guess. Why do you have to go? Why can't Niall and Zayn go?" Harry asked
"Because I trust them to look after you." He answered, brushing his thumb over harry's cheek
"Will it be dangerous?" Harry quizzed, looking at Louis with innocent eyes.
"No, darlin' he'll be safe- we'll both be safe." He corrected.
"Hm okay." Harry looked into Louis' eyes after a while he noticed him inching closer. Harry smiled shyly, tilting his head to the side slightly.
"May I?" Louis asked when his lips were brushing against Harry's. Harry nodded and Louis closed the gap between them. The kiss wasn't forced it was nice. It was slow and somewhat passionate.
Their lips moved together in a sweet harmony. Louis was the first to pull away.
" umm...w-wha...aha well, umm." Harry stuttered, still trying to gather up what just happened.
"I ...I urm I got to go. I'll be back in like, 20 minutes. I- ugh I'm not even gonna lie, I may be back in a few hours." Louis said before he rushed into his joggers and out the door without turning back.
This left Harry pouting. He knows they aren't in a relationship, so it shouldn't make him upset. This was his job before he came here, so he's used to a kiss and run (usually a f**k and run). But for some unknown reason, this felt...different. Harry wiped away tears that sneakily fell, and turned off the bedside lamp.
'Is he messing with me? Was this just a joke? B-because if this is just so he c-can use me whenever he feels like it then- then I'd rather stay with-with my deadbeat dad' Harry thought. He doesn't understand, and to be honest, neither does Louis.
All these emotions surrounding both of their heads are driving them wild.
Harry isn't used to being kissed so-so passionately and Louis was never the one to kiss then run away. What is Harry doing to Louis? What is Louis doing to Harry?
Two questions with simple answers, yet none of them seem to know it yet.
