Chapter 4

Harry's POV:

I was furious to see zayn in Jeff's house. How did he end up being in here? I was seeing in red now.

I was slowly coming close to him and he was backing to the wall behind him. He stopped when he banged against the wall with a thud and I stopped when I was inches far away from his face. I put my both hands on the wall on either side of his face and clearly he was intimidated by this.

Not a single word uttered from his mouth anymore, so I asked 'What.... The hell!..... Are you doing here?!'

His lips were moving, like he was trying to answer me, but I couldn't hear any sounds. We hold each other's gaze for a long time.

I had to break the spell as it was driving me crazy and i said coldly 'Wasn't it enough for you to destroy me once?'

I could see that he couldn't stop his tears from rolling down his eyes. He just uttered 'What we had...?'

'Was irrelevant!' I exclaimed. 'Go away. It'll save you some tears maybe.'

I turned around to look for Jeff then, but he immediately said with broken voice 'Good! That you cleared that up! I at least got some closure!'

'Yeah! But I thought that you already have moved on!? Didn't you?' I asked sarcastically.

He was dumbstruck, couldn't answer. I was holding his gaze, then suddenly Jeff's voice came, like he was making his throat clear 'Ehrmmmm......'

I immediately broke the hold of his gaze and gave Jeff a fake smile. He was in a towel, clearly he was bathing. But I shouted and came close to him 'Jeff!? What is this? You already bathed? You forgot about our jogging? I was waiting for you?'

Zayn was clearly getting affected by it. So I pushed more of this fake narrative. I hold Jeff's face with both hands and said affectionately 'Now quickly get ready. I want to take you for a ride.'

Jeff was just dumbstruck by all this. He was frozen in that place, trying to figure out what is happening. But I pushed him more 'Go on! What are you waiting for?'

He went to his room shaking his head in disbelief. When I turned around, I saw zayn was sitting in the dining area hanging his head in his hands.

I didn't bother to go near him. He deserve this and I'll serve it to him. When Jeff came back with a confused look, I quickly grabbed his hand and said loudly so that zayn could hear 'Let's go to our favourite place!' While dragging him out of the house.

When we were out of the house, I dropped his hand. He asked me then immediately 'Ummmm.... May I ask? What... The..... Hell.... Was that?'

I was silent.

He again asked me loudly and poked me 'Harry!? I'm asking something!'

'I know alright!? Why is this guy staying with you?'

'I met him yesterday. He was looking for a house to stay, so I asked him to share the house rent with me and he agreed. Now he will stay with me in this house. But what's the problem in that? You hired him as an editor, right? Do you guys know each other from before?'

'No... No! I don't know him. I just don't like to mix work with personal life.... That's all!'

'Ummmm.... Okay!!!'

'So now that you are ready Jeff. Let's go to work and conduct that meeting with that big company. They are waiting for us in the office. Olivia called. That's why I came actually.... to pick you up, after all we are neighbors. Now move your butt, we have a lot of work.'
