Can you shut up for once

11. Next Step

Louis PoV.

"Okay, what do we have?"

All of them sat an the ground in a circle. Half empty beer bottles next to them as Louis' pulled out his phone to open his camera files.

"So you're fucking rich rich but can't afford an IPhone?"

Louis' eyes shot up to the guy with the snapback and the teddy-brown eyes.

"I fooking hate IPhones! They are just over-priced shit that will be broken in 18 months."

Harry couldn't contain a small crackle as he gave Louis a little side-eye.

"I have never seen you wear anything under 200€, you talk bullshit!"

"Oh but you have to know that I just underline my unbelievable hotness. But back to my Father, okay?"

All of them replied with a nod or a affirmative grumble. Louis showed around his phone and explained them, that these documents did not really make sense. The papers where payments to an unknown bank account that had nothinv to do with his father's usual business.

"I'm still waiting for my lawyer to call me. She is checking this for me at the moment, I await her answer today."

Silence floated the room after his sentence. Everybody seemed to think about this scenario. Liam clapped his hands to bring the attention to him.

"Okay, while we wait for your lawyer chick to check this for us, what about food? Pizza or pasta oooor?"

"Aah, yess, Lima you safe me! I. Am. Starving."

A loud laugh escaped Harry's mouth, which made Louis think that this was not an uncommon situation with the blonde fella. Liam was the first one to stand up and headed to the kitchen. After time all of the boys stood at the bar right in front of him as he put the Penne in the lightly salted water. As he opened the fridge, Louis could tell that it was stuffed with rainbow colored fruits and vegetables.

"Wow, that is not how I expected your fridge to look like."

With that 8 eyes flew to him in less than a second. Especially Harry's eyebrows scrunched together and left two very prominent wrinkles between them.

"We are not that poor, you probably think we are. We don't live a bad life, Tomlinson."

"What the fuck? No, calm your tits, okay? I just thought it would be full of junk food, dipshit."

In Louis' normal surroundings this would mean war. Not typical war of course but hundreds of lawsuits and meetings with their lawyers but this time the whole room just started laughing and shouting. Niall even layed his arm around Louis to not fall over.

In his day to day life the only people that would do that were Serena, Stan and probably Nick all the others would be hookups or people he snogged at parties. This was very new to him but his insides felt weirdly warm and a strange tingle moved from the middle to the back of his head.

"Sorry Lou-is, I'm just a bit tense I guess. We should probably get back and start to plan till Liam is done with the food."

Niall jumped back into the 'living room' which was separated from the kitchen by just a thick brick wall, that reached only halfway theough the room. Zayn stood up as well, following Niall with a genuine grin plastered on his face.

Right before Harry was about to head to it as well, Louis grabbed him by the sleeve of his t-shirts to pull him back.

"You don't have to be sorry. I acted like an asshole all the time we were together and especially yesterday was definitely not one of my best performances."
