Harry took another sip of his scotch , his other hand holding his cards , cash sitting ontop of the table in front of him .
"Your turn ." Liam told Zayn , putting out the end of his cigar .
Zayn took a few moments to think before laying out one of his cards , Harry smirked and quickly laid out one of his own cards , leaning back in his seat , "Too easy , too fucking easy ."
The two rolled their eyes , Liam collected all of the cards and shuffled them , "I think I need a beer ."
"I'm getting myself one , I'll grab one for you too ." Zayn stood up from his seat and went over to the desk near them , grabbing two bottles and popping them open .
Harry turned his head to the entrace of the room when he heard footsteps , smiling when he saw Louis , "Hey baby ."
Louis smiled and walked over , waving at Liam and Zayn . Harry wrapped his arm around him , "How was your day ?"
"It was good , we got to make good progress with Apollo and Chess ." Louis brushed Harry's hair gently with his fingers , "What game are you playing ?" He turned his head to Liam , watching as he handed out cards .
"We kind of change the games along the way when we get bored ." Harry said , Zayn chuckled humorlessly , "You mean , when you get tired of taking all of our money with one game you move on to another so you wouldn't be bored ."
"Can I try ?" Louis asked , Harry pulled him into his lap , "Come here , be my lucky charm ." He wrapped his arms around his waist , Louis grabbed the cards and held them close to him , Harry hooked his chin on Louis' shoulders .
Zayn went first , then it was Louis' turn . Harry saw his hesitation , so he tapped on one of the cards , "I'd go for this one ."
Louis laid out the card Harry picked , smiling when Harry held him closer . He pouted at the card Liam put , Zayn smirked and laid out a card .
Harry helped him again , and that was how the game went ; Harry guiding Louis with picking cards , Zayn and Liam continued losing more money than Harry and Louis .
They ended their third round , Louis looked up when he heard Odin barking . "I'll be right back ." He said and left the room .
Harry waited until he was out of earshot , before turning to Liam and Zayn , "I'll give you each twenty grand for letting Louis win this round without my help ."
Zayn raised an eyebrow , turning to look at Liam - who had the same expression on .
"Thirty grand ." Harry upped the cost , Liam pursed his lips , "Fifty ."
"Fourty five ." Harry shook his head , "Don't fucking try me ."
"Fourty five ." Zayn nodded and held his hand out , Harry shook his hand . Liam shook his hand aswell , "Deal ."
"Fourty five grand each ." Zayn confirmed , Harry nodded , "Fourty five grand for each of you for letting Louis win this round , without my help ."
"Easiest money ever ." Liam chuckled and took the last swig of his beer .
Harry leaned back in his seat , arms crossed . He was about to open his mouth but Louis walked back into the room , "Sorry , I'm back ."
"Come here ." Harry held his arms open , Louis settled on his lap , "Are the cards shuffled ?"
"Yes ." Harry nodded , "How about you try alone this round ?"
"You - you think I should ?" Louis turned his head to look at him , Harry nodded , "Yes , you should try ."
"Ehm , okay ." Louis nodded , taking his cards from where Liam laid them face down on the table .
The round started , Harry watched the cards handed out to make sure Zayn and Liam were really letting Louis win - even though he had very little doubt they would , giving the cost he was willing to pay .
Louis' cute smile made him smile aswell , he nuzzled his neck and pressed soft kisses to his skin . Louis giggled quietly , "Stop ."
"What ?"
"It tickles ." Louis brought his shoulder up to his ear to cover his neck , Harry smirked , "What , this ?" He pressed his face to his neck again , Louis squirmed away as he giggled , "Stop , I'm trying to focus ."
Harry pulled back and pecked his cheek , watching as Louis laid out one of his cards .
And of course , Louis ended up winning that round . He had the biggest grin on his lips as he turned to sit sideways on Harry's lap , "I won !"
"Good job , baby ." Harry kissed him ; half of him felt bad - because he set it up for Louis to win , and half of his was happy - because seeing Louis being so happy about winning warmed his heart .
"Maybe you should play with us more often ." Liam suggested , Zayn nodded , "Yeah , sounds good to us ."
Louis bit his lower lip as he stood up from Harry's lap , "I- well ... it was fun , and I kind of won this round , but cards aren't my thing , I think ."
"It's alright , atleast you gave it a try ." Harry nodded and stood up , "Want to pick our dinner ?"
"I'll go to the kitchen to see what we have ." Louis nodded and waved goodbye to Zayn and Liam , the two said goodbye , waiting for him to be out of the room before turning to Harry .
Harry rolled his eyes and went over to the painting on the wall , he took it off to reveal a safe . He punched the code in and opened it , taking out stocks of cash and handing them to the two .
"Great doing business with you ." Liam smiled , Zayn elbowed him , "Don't push it before he regrets it ."
"Atleast one of you is smart ." Harry closed the safe and put the painting back on .
