Harry chuckled softly as Louis yawned , he rubbed his back , "Did you sleep good at night ?"

Louis nodded but still pouted . It was Monday morning , and he was back at the bakery with Harry . He liked his little job , but it was still a tough task getting up on Monday morning .

Harry opened the bakery door for him , Louis blushed softly and walked inside with Harry following . He let out a short sigh when he saw Andy behind the counter , which didn't go unnoticed by Harry .

Harry put his arm around Louis' waist and pulled him closer into his side , "It's alright bub , you'll be fine ."

Louis let Harry lead him to behind the counter , Harry kissed his temple , "Make yourself some hot chocolate , alright ? For good start ." He said , loud enough for Andy to hear him . Louis nodded and gave Harry a soft smile .

"I'll be in the office for a bit before going to the back to help , okay ? Whatever you need you can come to me ." Harry said and kissed Louis' cheek , Louis nodded again before pointing between Harry and the coffee machine , asking Harry if he wanted anything .

Harry smiled at him , "Vanilla latte would be good . Thank you , bubba ." He pecked his lips and walked into his office . Louis turned to the coffee machine with rosy cheeks and a smile on his lips , quickly fixing his and Harry's drinks .

He took the two paper cups in his hands , but before he could make it one step Andy was in front of him , taking Harry's cup from him , "I'll give it to Mr. Styles ." He said and turned to the office . Louis raised his eyebrows and felt his heart clenching in his chest , he swallowed thickly and watched Andy walking into Harry's office .

Harry , who sat behind the desk , heard the door opening . He smiled and looked up , the smile turning down a bit when he saw it wasn't Louis , but Andy . "Oh , uh , thank you Andy ."

"You're welcome , Mr. Styles , if you want another drink you can ask me ." Andy smiled at him , Harry nodded and thanked him again when the cup was placed in front of him , and of course he didn't miss the way Andy walked in and smiled , then the way he walked out . When the door closed he rolled his eyes and went back to his papers .

When Andy walked out Louis didn't dare looking at him ; the lad was pissing him off . He sipped on his hot chocolate and put the cup down to take a mop and go clean the tables . He didn't want to be around Andy .

He was only cleaning the first table when he heard something from behind the counter , when he looked up he saw Andy spilling his hot chocolate all over the floor , making him frown .

"Oops ." Andy chuckled humorlessly , "Guess you have to clean that up ."

He took a deep breath to collect himself before going to grab a wet rag . He hated the way Andy was watching him with a smirk . 

"You missed a spot right there ." Andy said in a teasing voice before throwing the paper cup on the floor next to Louis , letting it drip on the floor where he just cleaned .

Louis lowered his head and grabbed the paper cup , putting it in the nearest trash can and cleaning the floor again . He was holding himself back from tearing up , because all he wanted to do at the moment was walk out of the bakery without looking back .

He just finished cleaning the floor and washed the rag , when Harry walked out of the office . And of course , Andy straightened up and fixed his clothes quickly , giving Harry a smile . 

Harry looked over to Louis , who didn't even turn towards him when he walked out . He walked past Andy and to Louis , putting his arm around his waist , "Lou ?"

Louis looked up at him , and Harry could tell something was wrong . "What's wrong , bub ?"

Louis took his phone out , typing everythings okay . Harry cupped his cheek , "Love , tell me ."

"He's fine ," Andy suddenly spoke up , "He's just a bit upset because he accidentally knocked over his drink , but we cleaned it up and it's all good now ." He smiled at Harry , in a way that made Louis uncomfortable .

Harry turned to Louis for confirmation , missing the look Andy gave Louis . Louis nodded , Harry kissed his forehead , "Make yourself another drink , then ?"

Louis shook his head and typed im fine now i dont need another one , Harry nodded , "Alright . I'm going to the back , if you need me ." He rubbed Louis' side , Louis nodded and smiled a bit when Harry pecked his cheek .

When Harry was out of sight Andy crossed his arms and walked towards him , "Harry is too perfect for someone like you , why don't you just walk away before he dumps you ?"

Louis stepped away from him and shook his head ; he knew Andy was just trying to mess with him , even though he thought he was right . Harry was too perfect for him .

Andy chuckled , "Alright then ."

It's been three hours since his shift started , and Louis was so glad when Andy's shift ended . He felt like he was going nuts . He smiled at Sam , Sam gave him a short hug , "I hope Andy wasn't mean to you ."

But by the way Louis looked down to the side Sam knew Andy was being a bitch to him . She put her hand on his shoulder , "I don't know what he said or did , but he's not worth you feeling bad . I know he's a bitch , but trust me , Harry doesn't even blink his way , his eyes are all on you ."

Louis smiled at her and nodded softly , Sam rubbed his shoulder , "I'm going for the back for a minute , if there's any customers come get me , alright ?"

Louis nodded and watched her leaving , sighing in relief as he went to clean the coffee machine .

Sam quickly found Harry and walked over to him , "Hey Mr. Styles , can we talk real quick ?"

Harry smiled , "Hi Sam , sure , what is it ?"

"Could it be a bit more private ?"

Harry raised his eyebrows but nodded , leading her towards the back door . "Alright , what is it ?"

"Okay , so I'm hoping you know , but Louis and Andy aren't getting along . Andy is really mean to Louis , and quite frankly , Andy is a bitch ."

Harry gave her a half smile , "First thing , please no bad words needed . Second , I do know they don't get along . If I see anything that happens that is really out of the line I'll make sure to step in ."

Sam nodded , "Alright . Also , please could you make sure Louis has the same shifts as me or with Emmerson ? So he wouldn't have to be with Andy ."

Harry smiled , "I'll do my best . Thank you for caring for him ."

Sam smiled and nodded . "Oh and one more thing ; check the security cameras from the last three hours of Andy and Louis' shift , okay ?"

Harry frowned , "Why , what happened ?"

"I don't know , but I know something happened . I can tell ."

Harry bit his lower lip and nodded , thanking her before she walked away . He went to wash his hands and quickly walked into his office to check the security cameras .

Louis smiled back at Sam who walked back to the front , right on time for a customer . Louis finished cleaning the coffee machine and fixed the customer their drink order , smiling back shyly when he was thanked .

Twenty minutes later Harry walked to the front , "Lou ?"

Louis looked up from his phone , Harry held his hand out for him , "Come here , bub ."

Louis walked over and took Harry's hand , not sure what was he called for . Harry walked with him into his office and closed the door , before placing his hands on his waist , "Why didn't you tell me Andy was bothering you today ?"

Louis' heart sank in his chest as he looked away .

"I watched the security cameras . He was the one to spill your hot chocolate on the floor , he threw your cup on the floor afterwards . He did some other things too , like bumping into you and pushing you away to make the drinks himself ." 

Harry frowned deeper when he saw a tear sliding down Louis' red cheek , he hugged him and rubbed his back , "Bubba , why didn't you say anything ?"

Louis buried his face in Harry's chest with his hands clutching his shirt , Harry kissed the top of his head , "Can you look at me ?"

Louis pulled back and wiped his eyes , letting Harry tilt his head up . Harry caressed his cheeks , "As my boyfriend and an employee here , I will not let him do such things to you , or anyone for that matter . I'm a bit upset that you didn't say anything but it's alright , thanks to Sam who told me to watch the security cameras . Please promise to tell me if anything happens again ."

Louis nodded and sniffled , Harry kissed his lips then his forehead , "Pinky promise me ." He held his pinky out , Louis let his smaller pinky wrap around Harry's . Harry gave him a smile and hugged him again , "I care about you a lot , bubba ."

Louis sighed into his chest and nodded once , Harry pulled back a bit and kissed him , "There's a bit less than an hour before we're getting lunch , okay ?"

The next day , when Louis and Harry walked into the bakery and saw Andy , Harry squeezed Louis' hand tightly and walked with him to the front desk .

Harry kissed Louis' temple and walked into his office , Louis didn't dare looking Andy's way .

Andy smirked at him and crossed his arms , he opened his mouth to say something before Harry walked out of the office to the front , "Andy , come to my office . Now , please ."

Andy raised his eyebrows but followed , not before sending Louis a playful wink . Louis sighed and rubbed his face , smiling when one of the workers from the back , Les , came to the front to take the orders as the cashier .

Andy closed the door behind him and sat at the desk in front of Harry , he smiled at him , "Is everything okay Mr. Styles ?"

Harry leaned forward in his chair , elbows on the desk , "Something is wrong , to be honest . And it has something to do with you ."

"And what would that be ?" Andy tilted his head to the side in a way he hoped would make Harry flirt back .

"I'm not oblivious ." Harry shook his head . "I know you've been messing with Louis . And apart from him being my boyfriend he's also an employee here , and I will not let such things happen here . I'm sorry but I'm going to have to fire you ."

Andy raised his eyebrows , "Excuse me ?"

"You heard me ."

"So what , because he's pretending to be mute and weak you're giving in to everything he asks ?"

"I'm not having this conversation with you . Please walk out of here , right now ."

Andy stood up sharply , making the chair fall , "I thought you were a decent man , I had to realize you're not when you preferred that mute kid over me ." And with that he walked out of the office .

As he walked out he looked over to Louis and gave him his bitch face , "Hope you're happy with yourself ." He said and bumped into his shoulder harshly as he walked out of the store . Louis stumbled backwards and brought his hand to his shoulder .

"Yeah , and don't come back you fucking jerk !" Les called as Andy walked out , before turning to Louis , "You alright ?"

Louis nodded and rubbed his shoulder , Les gave him a smile , "Atleast we're not seeing his ugly face again ."

Harry walked out of the office to the front desk after he finished the paperwork , he put his arm around Louis and kissed his temple , "He's fired bub . No more ."

Louis smiled softly and couldn't resist leaning up on his tip-toes to peck his cheek . Harry smiled and kissed his forehead before turning to Les , "You can go back to the cookies Les , thank you . I'll take it from here ."

Les nodded with a smile and went to the back , Harry turned to smile at Louis , "I'll be your cashier for today . Wanted to work with you a bit ."

Louis smiled wider and nodded , signing 'thank you' with his hand .

Working with Harry was both fun and annoying ; Harry was being so sweet to the customers that it made Louis' heart warm up . But he wanted to slap Harry so hard every time he distracted him while he tried making a drink ; whether it was a kiss , or pokes to his side , or just hugging him so he couldn't move . But the smile never left his lips , he wished he could work with Harry every day .
