Cufflinks and Quiffed Hair // L.S.

*14*

~Two weeks later~

*Zayn's POV*

I walked to my desk and sat down. I sipped a little bit of tea I had, which was right next to the pile of rubbish on my table. I was thinking about the changes in the company ever since Harry first walked in through the front doors more than a month ago.

Firstly, he had insisted on keeping a vase with some flowers in it on the desk of every employee. No, he didn't ask anybody for permission, just decided to do it. Whenever Harry sees them stressing over something, he asks them to smell the flowers and feel better, which they do and it works!

Secondly, he had argued with Louis for two days straight for respecting every single person in the office who he meets. Whether it is the security guard, a developer, a maid or a cook. He asked Louis to treat them with kindness and at least wish them a 'good morning' every day. Believe me or not, Louis has shown signs of improvement.

Thirdly, Harry has increased the salaries of the maids and security guards. Louis didn't object this one thing, which was good.

Otherwise, life has been great. Gigi and I have been closer and happier, Liam recently became part-owner of his lab and Niall has joined a golf club.

Today I was leaving work an hour earlier than usual because Gi said she had something really important to tell me.

And God knew I was nervous.

*Harry's POV*

Zayn had invited me to a party at the bar, said he wanted to announce something really important.

Louis even bribed him by saying he'd buy Zayn a L'Oréal Paris Elnett Hairspray which he had wanted, only if he told what the announcement was beforehand. But Zayn didn't budge and I had to laugh at Louis' pouty expression, he looked really cute.

Last week, I accidentally hugged Louis when he had successfully completed another program for me. When I pulled away from the hug, I realized who I had hugged and apologized. Louis had just shrugged and walked away, but he had hugged me back and pressed his head into my neck, which made me really happy.

Two days ago, I told him he should try doing his always-quiffed-hair in a fringe once for work. He had asked why and I said (it accidentally slipped out) he would look hotter. He began coughing and I immediately said I hadn't meant to say that, and it was the truth. I definitely don't think he looked, looks, or will ever look hot.

I was presently looking for what to wear.

Niall had already decided to wear blue jeans and a white t-shirt. Liam texted me he was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. I wondered what Louis would wear.

I chose a green jumper, black jeans and a blue bandana to wear. I was hoping I didn't look like a homeless kid.

I left with Niall, walking to the bar, which was barely a mile away. Niall was talking about how he could arrange for another branch of Nando's to open outside our mansion and I just listened on. He said he'd bribe the owner with a blowjob to do so and I couldn't help laughing, because Niall was straight.

Luckily, the bar was nearby, so we reached in very little time.

I saw Louis waiting outside, smoking a cigarette. He looked...wow. Blue button up shirt, black (too very tight) jeans, and his hair in a fringe! I had to look away for a while. I don't know why I had goosebumps on both my arms.

We walked over to him and Niall said, "Louis. Mate, could you help me?" Louis threw the cigar down and stomped on it. Then he said, "With what, Nile?" "I need a branch of Nando's outside our mansion. Could you arrange for that to be done?" Niall said and Louis chuckled, "Seriously?" Niall nodded.
