Not My Cup of Tea // L.S.

*35*

*** 

The next morning started in a fight.

Harry woke up to an empty bed. "Lou?" He said, groggily.

No response.

Harry got up and walked out of the room, searching for Louis. He looked around and couldn't see Louis anywhere. He walked into the kitchen- empty. He walked into the bathroom- empty. He walked into the common room- empty.

Harry frowned. Where was Louis?

He walked out of the dorm and heard Louis talking to someone on his phone. Harry was going to go hug Louis from behind, but decided to listen to Louis talk.

"Could you get it here or something? No, I can't come there. Please?" Louis was saying.

Get what where? Harry wondered.

"But he lives with me, he'll get to know if I come there. Please?" Louis was saying.

Harry understood that Louis was referring to him, but why?

"Thanks love. Also, he goes for work at five so you can come here that time, when I'll be here alone." Louis was saying.

Love? Who is Louis talking to and asking them to come over when I will be away at work? Harry thought.

His eyes were beginning to water. Was Louis cheating on him?

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later. He'll probably be awake by now. Bye." Louis hung up.

Harry wiped at his eyes furiously, but in vain. Louis had turned around and was hurrying over to Harry, "Haz? Why are you crying baby?"

Harry let out a choked sob and Louis reached out to hug him but Harry said, "Stay away from me." Louis was shocked, "What happened baby? What did I do?" Harry just shook his head and walked back into the dorm.

Louis frowned. He had been talking to Lottie, telling her how well Harry had taken care of him last night when he was wasted. He told her how much he loved Harry for everything, and also about his birthday gift. He definitely couldn't tell Harry that. Louis thought of ways to cheer Harry up, without telling him who or what he had been talking about.

He walked into the dorm and saw Harry standing in the kitchen, making tea. He was still sniffling, so Louis walked over to him and hugged him from behind. Harry wriggled out of Louis' hug and walked away saying, "Stay away from me."

"But I didn't do anything." Louis reasoned.

"You did." Harry said, brokenly.

"What?"

"Who were you talking to?"

Louis remained quiet. Harry said, "See? You have no answer. You are cheating on me, aren't you?"

"No Harry, no. How could I cheat on you?" Louis asked.

Harry shrugged, "I don't know. You should know."

"I am not! I was just talking to someone I don't like romantically on the phone." Louis said.

"If you aren't cheating, why don't you tell me who it was? The person who you call love, the person who you want to meet when I'm not around, who is it?" Harry questioned, trying hard not to cry anymore.

Louis said, "Harry, I can tell you one thing. I am not cheating on you. You are my one and only. I loved you, love you and will always love you. I love you too much to cheat on you. However, I can't tell you who it was on the phone, as that's a surprise."
