A few hours had passed, and the day was quickly slipping into the darkness and sureness of night. Louis had finished his work, so he reluctantly joined Zoe and I on the couch to watch The Notebook.

"This film is truly awful. Complete rubbish, in all honestly." Louis complained loudly, wrapping an arm around Zoe's shoulder. Zoe leaned into his chest after slapping it.

"Louis! Shut up." she whined and I laughed. Zoe and I were both crying our eyes out and it was only the beginning of the movie. I had seen this movie a million times but it gets me every time.

"How many times have you watched this film? 100 times?" Louis teased Zoe.

Zoe turned her attention to Louis, a small smirk on her face. "Maybe I watch it so much because you don't show me enough romance. Why can't you love me like Noah loves Ally?"

I heard Louis whisper something in Zoe's ear, making her giggle. I rolled my wet eyes at their disgustingly adorable relationship. As they cuddled intimately on the couch beside me, I wiped my warm tears and watched the movie.

Thankfully, I heard the front door open 30 minutes later.

I moved my teary eyes away from the classic movie to see Harry walk through the door, holding a black duffel. I stayed in my seat, not bothering to greet him. His piercing eyes nervously locked with mine before we both looked away.

"Hazza!" Zoe jumped over the couch to greet him. I felt my stomach knot as he wrapped one arm around her waist, casually pulling her in for a hug.

"How're you, sunshine?" he breathed, kissing her cheek quickly before bro-hugging Louis. I watched the three chat excitedly from my lonely spot on the couch.

A few minutes of watching them catch up, Zoe and Louis waved a goodbye to me before leaving the apartment. I turned my attention back to The Notebook, wiping away a weary tear. God, this movie gets me every time.

"Hey?" Harry sat down on the love seat across from the couch, throwing his duffel on the ground beside him.

He sounded like he was upset that I didn't greet him already.

"Why, hello," I sniffed, giving him a fake smile.

He smirked, leaning back into the love seat. His broad shoulders deemed prominent in his white shirt. I eyed his duffel bag suspiciously. "What's in there? Dead bodies?"

"Sadly, no," Harry's deep laughter filled the apartment, his dimples popping. He leaned down and unzipped the duffel, causing me to tense. "Just money for today."

I felt the air thin. The whole duffel was packed with cash, every inch of it.

I clenched my jaw tightly and furrowed my eyebrows. "Did you steal that?"

"Ah, no. Zayn and Iearned this from dropping off some premium drugs to this kid. Sadly, we were forced to knock the kid unconscious afterwards. Good thing we make them pay before we deliver." Harry leaned his elbows on his knees, his broad back hunched over.

"Fulfilling." I gave him a fake smile before looking back at the movie.

I couldn't deny that that was a lot of money. I wondered what he did with all that money.

"What'd you do today?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.

I didn't look at him, but I knew that he was watching me closely. I could feel his strong gaze watching my every moves.
