Back to Reality
Harry POV
Our last morning in Hawaii was bittersweet. We all took one last walk down the beach early in the morning before packing our bags and waiting for the car to pick us up. We were all pretty quiet, nerves kicking in as we got closer to our meeting with management.
Soon enough, the car pulled up and we all let our a collective sigh before loading our luggage in the boot and climbing in. Lou sat next to me and I could tell he was feeling anxious, his lips red from biting them and his hands moving nervously in his lap.
I reach over and place one of my hands over both of his, causing him to look at me. I offer him a smile and assure him that it will be ok. He smiles back, twisting his hand so he can link his fingers with mine and turning his head to look out the window.
All too soon we are back on a plane bound for London. Louis has his legs thrown over mine and his nuzzling into my neck. I wrap my arm securely around his shoulders, loving the feeling of having him in my arms.
"Harry?" he whispers.
"Yeah Lou"
He stays silent for a few moments, aimlessly playing with a loose strand of cloth on my shirt.
"Do you think.. I mean. What do you think will happen? To us? Like.. how do we act? Are we even a thing?" I can tell he is starting to stress out, his words tumbling out and I can feel him tensing in my arms. "I don't know what to do"
"Shhh Lou." I interrupt his rambling, running my fingers up and down his arm to try and comfort him. "We will be fine. We will just have to keep it under wraps, like Liam and Niall did ok?" I feel him nod his head against my chest. I use my hand to lift his chin so I can look him straight in the eye.
"And we are definitely 'a thing'" I say with a dimpled smile, hoping he can see how sincere I am. It seems to work because he smiles back and gives me a quick kiss, taking me by surprise, before going back to his spot in my neck.
I hug him closer and look around at the others. Niall and Liam are curled up, clearly enjoying their last bit of freedom before having to hide their relationship again, and Zayn is sitting by himself, staring out the window. My heart aches a little when I see him. He looks really lonely.
I lift my shoulder to get Louis to look up and motion over to Zayn. "We should go sit with him yeah?" I ask. Louis smiles and nods before moving his legs and standing up. He skips over to Zayn and plops down on his lap, arm wrapping around his shoulder.
"Zaynie!" He yells in his typical loud voice. I laugh and sit down in the seat next to Zayn, who is obviously surprised by the sudden appearance of an omega on his lap. Louis shuffles a little so his feet hang over my leg as well.
Louis grabs his chin and frowns at him. "What's up buttercup?"
Zayn lets out a half hearted chuckle, pulling Louis hand away from his face, resting both their hands on Louis legs. "I'm fine Lou. Just.. I was hoping to get to spend a little more time with Josh. Being the fifth wheel to you lot made me realise how much I want to find somebody too I guess"
"Sorry man.. we didn't mean to make you feel like a fifth wheel" I say softly, feeling guilty.
Before I can say anything else, a mess of blonde hair blocks my view. I laugh as I realise Niall has sat on top of Louis legs, leaning back into the small gap between myself and Zayn and Liam has sat in the chair in front of us, leaning over the back. I turn a little so I can still see everyone, but still providing support for Niall.
Niall wraps his arms around Zayn's neck as well and pouts at him. "We are sorry Z. You know we love you though right?"
Zayn laughs, huffing out an "I know I know. Im happy for you guys, really."
Niall grins and ruffles Zayn's hair, which is usually a big no no, however I don't think Zayn really minds right now.
"Jesus you guys are heavy!" he exclaims, causing Louis and Niall to look at each other, grinning happily.
"Well too bad, because I'm rather enjoying my Zaynie cuddle right now." Niall replies.
"Yeah me too." Louis chimes in, one arm still wrapped around Zayn's shoulder, under Niall's arms, and the other coming up to wrap around both him and Niall, effectively creating some sort of group hug.
We spend the rest of the flight chatting and mucking around, effectively forgetting about what was to come. By the time the plane landed, we all had sore cheeks from smiling and our spirits were high. A car was waiting to pick us up and we all climbed in and were informed that we were staying at a hotel tonight before going to meet with management tomorrow at lunch.
I let out a big sigh, glad that we were given a chance to sleep, the long flight and time difference catching up with us all. The soft vibrations of the car lulled Louis and Niall to sleep pretty quickly, with Zayn following not too long after.
Myself and Liam managed to stay awake until we got to the hotel, quietly waking the others up once we were there. We were all staying in a three bedroom apartment on the top floor which overlooked the city lights. None of us bothered with anything other than dumping our bags and finding a bed. The last thing I remember is pulling Louis close to me, him being the little spoon, before I drifted off to sleep.
We were all woken by knocking on the door. I jolted awake, feeling very disorientated in the strange room, before stumbling out of bed to open the door. I heard a bang from one of the other rooms as I opened the door, struggling to open my eyes against the bright light filtering into the room.
It was the room service cart with breakfast for all of us. I managed to mumble out a thanks before pulling the cart inside and shutting the door. I stood there for a little while before promptly going back to bed.
"Who wazzit.." Louis muttered from under the blanket.
"Room service with breakfast"
He hummed in acknowledgment but made no move to get up. I hopped back under the covers and snuggled up to him again, arm going over his waist. He pushed himself back to get closer and in doing so pushed his arse into my groin.
I let out a surprised moan at the friction the movement caused, hand holding onto him a little bit tighter. After a few moments, he pushed back again and I wasn't sure if he was doing it on purpose or not, but it was definitely causing a growing problem for me. I got my answer soon after when he moved his arse side to side, causing me to grip onto his hip to stop the movement and hearing him giggle after.
"You're a little shit" I chuckle and release his hip as he rolls over and hops out of bed. He flashed me a grin and walks out of the room, swaying his hips more than normal. I groan and fall onto my back, closing my eyes and waiting for my problem to go away.
I make my way to the living area and join the others for breakfast. We all make small talk and start cycling through the shower and before we no it, we get a call that the car is ready to pick us up.
Once again, we all hop in the car and sit in silence on the way to the building. Louis leg is bouncing and I put my hand on his knee, patting it a few times. He lets out a sigh and puts his hand over mine, threading his fingers between mine.
Once we reach the building, we all pile out and head in, the couples making sure not to do anything noticeable. We take the lift to the correct floor and walk into the meeting room. We see Simon and a couple of the marketing team sitting on one side of the table, motioning us in to sit on the other side.
I sense a sudden jolt of anger from Louis and notice that his fists have clenched. He shoots a look at me before sitting in the chair, along with the others who are also throwing glances my way. Im confused as to why until I walk into the room fully and notice a pretty girl with brown hair sitting off to the side.
"Fuck"
