"She had had no idea what it would do to her seeing him in a suit."

It's in the van that I start to question everything. Do I really want to go? Is it not too dangerous? Tom holds my hand the whole way as if he knows about my fears. Arriving in front of the Millennium, Tom helps me get out of the car by taking my hand. The guards by the door let us pass under the whispers and prying eyes of the line of people who want to come in. As soon as we got into the nightclub we are greeted by Harrison who is at the bar with other men. Harry and Sam are on the dance floor with one drink in hand while the other is on the girls they are with.

-We have to go to the big table, that's where they're waiting for me. Go get settled, Darling, I'll go get us a drink.

He kisses me on the cheek before he lets me go to that table. It's full of men, they're all over thirty years old for sure. With a confident step, I sat in the only free chair. Everyone stops talking to look at me.

-Honey, this is not here to talk about nails and makeup.

Tom comes back at the same time and puts my glass next to me. Before he takes care of it, I answer him.

-Oh, I know don't worry, honey.

Tom chuckles before he takes a chair from another table.

-I would like to introduce you to Armony, my business and life partner.

I smile at them with my glass in my hand.

-You didn't tell us she was coming.

-Because I need your consent to take someone to MY nightclub?

-No, no, bu-

-Case clear, let's get down to business.

They talk about money, Shawn and guns for an hour before they decide to take a break to smoke and have another drink. While Tom is talking with Harrison at his usual place at the table, I come back from the bar with a drink in my hand.

-Legs with attitude.

The man's tone warms with approval.

-Why don't you bring those beauties over here. I got a spot all ready for 'em.

He and his buddies all chuckle when he pats his lap. I'm not exactly impressed and supprised. Without taking my eyes of them I sit on Tom's lap.

-I think these legs are fine where they are, thank you very much.

The man isn't mad at all by my rejection.

-I wouldn't have expected legs like those to be quite so shy.

-Not shy. They are just better where they are right now.

Tom then places a kiss under my ear before whispering to me.

-If you stay any longer here, I won't hold back, love.

My eyes are always on the men who are also always looking at me, I bite my lips and kiss him, Tom takes this opportunity to put his tongue in. And without breaking the kiss, I put one leg on the other side of his waist while his hands are on my back. A few seconds later we split up. I run my thumb over his lips to remove the lipstick. I get up later to sit in my chair. Harrison, who is right next to me, is getting closer to me.

-You have them in your pocket, I'm sure they're capable of getting down on their knees for you.

I approach to his ear.

-Are they not already?

He smiles at me and nods his head as if to agree with what I just said.

-Gentlemen, I think we're done. We'll meet again in a few days.

In a very short time the room is empty, leaving Harrison, Harry, Sam, Tom and me alone. Music is still echoing in the speakers, Haz, Harry and Sam are dancing if you can call it dancing. Tom on his side is just sitting at a table having a drink. I decide to join the boys for a little dance. Just as I arrive, Harrison is leaving to join Tom.

TOM POV

Sitting at a table, a glass in my hand, I watch Armony dance with a smile on her face to a music that plays.

-Hey, are you okay, Tom?

I turn my head to see my best friend, Harrison.

-Nothing very serious.

-Tell me about it.

I sigh and put my glass down, still looking at Armony.

-Armony is... I don't even have words to describe her. She is full of joy and happiness, kindness and innocence and she is exuding an inhuman beauty. And yet she's with me, a guy older than her, who's not the nicest and who's only rarely in a good mood and yet she's here hugging me when I'm sleeping and supporting me in my work.

-Tom, Armony is an angel compared to us but I don't want you to think she's not right for you because you don't see what I see when I look at you two.

-Haz ... I want her to leave me because I'm scared shitless that I'll never be the man she sees when she looks at me with all that love and trust in her eyes. My biggest fear is failing her, and I can't see any way to prevent that from happening.

Harrison sinks into his seat and looks at me like if he wanted to make me understand that he is listening to me.

-When Shawn took her, I thought I was going to lose her, that it was over. I still haven't told her that I love her more than anything. I fucking love her Harrison, I've never felt like this before. I'm afraid that one day she'll meet a man better than me and leave me alone.

Harrison puts one hand on my shoulder and smiles at me.

-Tell her, and you'll see what she'll say to you.

I smile back at him before resting my eyes on Armony who is no longer on the track.

-Where is Armony ?

-She went out for some fresh air.

Says one of my brothers.

-Shit.
