The Encounter |H.S|

46

I open the door to my office quickly, stepping inside and jumping slightly at the sight of Zayn rummaging through one of my drawers in my desk, making me clear my throat to get his attention.

He lifts his head and grins at me, getting up from my chair and standing in front of the desk with crossed arms. "I thought I'd see something embarrassing there."

"I'm pretty sure I know it's best not to bring embarrassing stuff to work, you should do that to Harry's desk," I suggest, taking off my coat and throwing it to the couch along with my purse before walking closer to him.

"As tempting as it sounds, I d–"

A knock on the door interrupts him and he glares at it before I open it, Harry standing there with a faint smile and phone in his hand. "I have great news."

"Oh?" I step aside and he walks inside, patting Zayn on the shoulder before turning to me after I close the door.

"Well, I am going to be interviewed today and I am going to announce that Charlotte and I are no longer together." He smiles, and I widen my eyes out of shock as Zayn looks confusedly at us with furrowed eyebrows.

"Are you serious?!" He nods at my question with a smile and I smile brightly. It isn't that big of a deal, but for me, it feels like a huge step forward in this whole situation.

So I can understand that perhaps hugging Harry after getting that piece of information might be a little extreme, but it feels right. With both of my arms around his neck and his around my waist, I hear Zayn scoffing at us.

"I want to participate in this!" He exclaims, squeezing in between us and smiling mischievously as we make space for him in the hug, "who's Charlotte?"

"Sometimes I feel like he is our second child," Harry mutters, causing Zayn to shake his head in disapproval as we all break apart from each other.

"Quite a stunt thing," I explain as briefly as possible and he nods knowingly, patting Harry on the shoulder.

"Very well then," He approves, looking at me sideways before grinning, "I have to go now, I'm going to get ready for a photoshoot."

He walks out of my office and I turn to Harry once again, who grins at me while clasping his hands behind his back, his rings making a sharp sound as they crash against each other.

"I'd stay longer but I'm afraid you and I have somewhere to go." He raises his eyebrows at me and extends his left arm, so after I throw my coat on and grab my purse I lock my arm with his as we step out of my office just as Zayn did not long ago.

Speaking of Zayn, we are still able to see him walking down the hallway in front of us and I laugh quietly before whistling at him, causing him to snap his head in our direction, stopping in his tracks as we approach him.

"Which one of you fuckers did it?" He asks with narrowed eyes, looking between the two of us as we all walk side by side and I grin.

"Harry did it."

"Wha–" Harry isn't able to finish his sentence before Zayn punches his arm gently, to which Harry simply glares at him before doing the same to me.

"I know it was Eve, but I can't just hit a lady, man." 

"Aw, that's so sweet of you." I pout in a fake manner, watching as Zayn chuckles while Harry moves his arm to wrap it around my waist as we stop by the lift.

Zayn presses the button and crosses his arms as we wait for the doors to open. "Is that guy… what's his name…. Charlie? Is he still here?"

"I assume you mean Carter, yes he is," Harry replies while turning his head to look at Zayn who shakes his head in disapproval.

"You have to do something about him." He says just as the doors open and we step inside, Harry pressing the button to the first floor and the doors closing in front of us right after.

"There's no need to come down to his level," Harry affirms with a proud smirk over his lips at his own words and I roll my eyes.

"It's not about coming down to his level, he needs to come up to mine."

Harry presses his lips after I speak while Zayn nods his head frantically, pointing a finger at me while looking at Harry. "See, that's the spirit!"

The doors open once again and we all step out, Zayn walking away from us since he has to meet with the crew, leaving me and Harry by ourselves.

I wave at Megan, who was talking to someone on the phone but waves at me with a grin nonetheless. Harry and I step out, a large black car waiting for us and I widen my eyes at the sight since I thought Harry was going to drive us there.

Harry opens the door for me and I get inside, sitting on the leather seat while noticing a few lights on the roof of the vehicle as Harry sits next to me, both of us buckling up.

The divider between us and the driver is closed but somehow I've never trusted it completely, who knows if the driver is listening but decides to not comment on it? They probably listen to everything.

Harry clears his throat, causing me to look up at him as he adjusts his navy blue tie, his lips pressed as he avoids eye contact with me. I frown faintly before shrugging to myself and turning to look at what's outside as the car starts moving.

"I'd say we were rather interrupted yesterday."

I look back at him again, watching as he keeps avoiding eye contact with me while running a hand through his hair. "Why do you say that?" I play dumb, just to see his reaction.

He immediately turns his head to look at me with wide eyes, his lips parted in surprise as I raise my eyebrows at him. "Well– I thought you'd understand what I was talking about b– I mean, it's okay if you don't I jus–"

"Woah, why are you so nervous?" I laugh quietly, watching as he visibly relaxes while letting out a breathy laugh, "It's like you lost the horny bastard in you."

He laughs at my feigned disappointment, looking at his hands for a few seconds before glancing at me. "He's just asleep, I don't want to rush anything."

I laugh softly at his words before setting a hand on his cheek and pressing my lips against his shortly, pulling away not long after only to catch a content smile over his lips.

"Okay, now blowjob." He jokes with a laugh and I slap his arm before pushing him away by his shoulder, crossing my arms while laughing quietly to myself.

Sorry for the long wait, school has me busy but I hope you're enjoying nonetheless!♡
