The Step Father's Assistant (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 13

(Photo is of what the two are wearing :) ) 

Today was the day, the day of Harry's hotel grand opening in Italy. He was a little nervous but knew everything would go to plan because he had Louis with him. 

They had landed in Italy last night, after their busy day and Louis rechecking their suitcases about 5 times to make sure everything was in there. Harry did only inform Louis that it was only going to be a week, but Louis insisted that they pack every item in their house 'just in case they needed it'.

"Harry, I'm nervous! What if i don't look good in the photos? You'll get so much hate on the magazine, are you sure you want me to do this?" Louis panicked as he scanned himself in the mirror, straightening his dress. 

Louis had gone for a short, white dress that he thought had looked nice. But seeing Harry in his own suit, made him look bad compared to that tall, magnificent beauty.

Harry rolled his eyes and walked towards Louis, wrapping his arms around his waste. "I think you look perfect. I don't care what other people think, i wanted you here, so here you will be." he stated and kissed the top of Louis' head, watching them in the mirror.

Harry hadn't confessed his love for Louis yet, but the urge to tell him more and more everyday got bigger. He couldn't wait to say those words, it excited him. Also scared him at the same time, from his previously relationships and how they never ended great. He just prayed that he and Louis would work out, like he had wanted.

Louis turned around in Harry's arms and straightened his tie, letting out a soft giggle. "I don't think I've ever told you.. but I'm proud of you H.." he said quietly.

Harry smiled and kissed Louis softly. "Thank you Lou.. I don't think I've ever heard that before from someone.." He looked into louis' eyes.

It was true, Harry had never heard the whole I'm proud of you speech. It took a lot for Harry to get to the position he was in now, but no one ever took the time to appreciate the things he has done. In some ways as much as he hated to admit it, he was thankful for his friend Nick. If it wasn't for slutting around with the right people thanks to Nick, he definitely wouldn't be opening his third Styles Hotel.

"We have to go, don't wanna be late for your own opening." Louis giggled and grabbed his purse, slinging it over his shoulder, grabbing Harry's hand afterwards. 

They had walked to the elevator, walking inside, Harry pressing the button to the ground floor. He let out a deep breath and squeezed Louis' hand lightly, only for Louis to return the same. 

The world had found out that Jay and Harry weren't together anymore, but this was the first time he and Louis would properly been seen in the world together, holding hands and perhaps labelled as in a relationship. 

They hadn't discussed that yet though, they were just happy doing what they were. Although the two were very loyal towards each other and it was only about them and not anyone else. 

Harry and Louis both walked outside, hand in hand to the ribbon and where the people were. Cameras flashing by everyone behind the barricades and some screaming from the paparazzi, some asking about the hotel, most asking about the situation between the two boys, especially because Louis was once Harry's stepson. 

Harry passed Louis the scissors that were given to him and stood in front of the microphones, clearing his throat. "I want to thank everyone for taking their time to be here today. As you all know this is a big thing for me and my company, hotel number three. We're slowly making our way around the globe." he chuckled and looked over at Louis, with a soft smile. "I would also like to thank you, without you; who knows if this would be happening or not." he bit his lip lightly and looked back out at the crowd of people. "Let's get the guests in!" he grinned and nodded his head over at Louis, who instantly cut the ribbon in half.

Harry grabbed Louis by his waist and pulled him to the side, as hotel staff rushed out of the building, helping with the guests who were to stay in the hotel. 

Harry couldn't help but watch everyone as he kissed Louis' cheek. "I really am lost without you.." he whispered into the boy's ear, causing him to look up at Harry. "I wouldn't do it for anyone else." Louis grinned, biting his lip. "You do an amazing job, I'm just happy to be apart of your journey.." He whispered. "Our journey Lou.." Harry pecked Louis' lips, knowing well enough that people are still watching them. He didn't mind if the two were on the headline of every article in the morning.

"C'mon, we have reservations." Harry said and grabbed Louis' hand, leading him to the car that was waiting for them. He helped Louis in and sat next to him, pulling the boy into him. 

The two cuddled the whole ride to the restaurant, once they arrived, they both walked into the restaurant going to their private table. 

Louis looked around and gasped softly. "It's so nice in here.." He said in a soft voice. It was one of the nicest places he had been too. Harry couldn't help but chuckle. "Only the best for the best Lou." he looked at Louis and winked, sticking out his tongue. 

The waiter came over and poured them some glasses of wine, before leaving the two alone. 

Harry grabbed his glass and watched Louis. "Let's make a toast.. to more achievements and us." he hummed and clinked glasses with Louis, sipping the liquid.

"Us.." Louis repeated and trailed off as he looked at Harry, fiddling with the glass in his hand. "What exactly is us?" He whispered, before looking at the glass in his hands taking a big sip. 

Harry bit his lip. "I don't know Louis.. it's something i keep thinking about.." He breathed out softly. "I think it's obvious that we both feel the same way.." He continued and watched Louis curiously. 

Louis nodded. "Yeah.. I know how I feel.. I'm just scared that I am your rebound.. minus the sex." He mumbled and made eye contact with Harry, sighing.

Harry shook his head. "Not at all Lou.. I like you.. probably a bit too much then I should but I want you.. I want nothing more than you." He spoke, fiddling with the rings on his fingers. "You make me happy.. even when you do so little, it's just happiness with you and I've never felt this way about someone in a long time.."

Louis scanned Harry's face and breathed softly. He knew he was telling the truth and it was scary to think about. Don't get him wrong, Louis wanted to be with Harry, oh god did he want that. But what if Harry just decided to up and leave him? He couldn't help but think about that a lot.

"I want this Harry.. I really do." Louis whispered and reached over grabbing Harry's hands. 

Harry intertwined their fingers together and bit his lip. "Will you do the honours of being my boyfriend Lou?" He asked.

Louis nodded and teared up, "Of course H.." He whispered and smiled, looking at their hands. "I don't want anything else."

Harry leaned across the table and placed a soft kiss to Louis' plump lips. "There's been something else that I've been wanting to say." 

Louis looked up at Harry curiously. "Yes H?" he pouted. 

"I love you."
