Life with the Tomlinson's

Episode 16

"Hi, it's me again and this is the lads!" Louis said and smiled.

Matt, the cameraman swept over the rest of the guys who waved to the camera.
"We're on our way to L.A. for a little project. I've written a new song and I'm bringing my friends with me to shoot a music video. A little project of mine while Harry is taking on Europe.
I went with him on his North American tour and then around England but now the training wheels have come off and it's time for me to do my thing while he conquers the world." Louis said when the camera was focused on him again.

"You went to his show in Milano." Oli pointed out with a grin.

"Well, I missed my man, sue me." Louis chuckled.

When the rest of the guys were busy playing cards and laughing Oli got in front of the camera for a one-on-one.
"I've known Louis since we were teenagers and I'm happy for him. He's doing what he loves and I think that's great, he's awesome on stage. He and Harry are that couple that everyone strives to be, you know, you just hope that you will have what they have one day. That you will meet that person that Harry is to Louis and the other way around. Couples goal!" He smiled.

"Oli! Where did you go, man? Stop badmouthing me and come play poker." Louis shouted.

Oli chuckled and went back to his seat on the plane. They were all in first class and had the area to themselves. They headed to Louis' and Harry's house as soon as they arrived. Louis stepped away to call Harry.
"Hi Boo, did you have a safe flight?"

"Yeah, yeah. We're at the house now. What are you up to?" Louis asked.

"Not much. I have been shopping a bit. Now I'm just relaxing at a cafe." Harry informed him.

They talked a while longer before Louis hung up and joined his friends. They ordered pizza and played video games, having a lads night in.

They got up early the next day and Oli and Calvin were really excited that they would be in one of Louis' videos.
"He's still the same great guy I grew up with. Fame hasn't changed him." Calvin said in front of the camera while he got ready.

They headed to meet the director of the video and he walked them through the concept of the music video.
"It will be four different locations, the street, a pub, an art gallery, and a club. You're just gonna drink and laugh like you're having a good time."

"Alright." Oli agreed.

They started at the pub, having a blast.

In the meantime, Harry had gone back to London and was at the airport.
"So I just found out that I have to be in Shanghai in three days so I'm catching a flight to L.A. to surprise Louis. I need to see him even if it's just for a day or two. I feel bad about the change of plans but I got an offer to perform at Victoria's Secret Fashion show and I can't decline. You know me, I love fashion! I just hope that Louis will come with me because otherwise, we won't see much of each other for the rest of the month since I'm heading to Australia after that to continue my show. I know that it's a lot to ask and I feel like shit, trust me."

While Louis was having fun shooting his music video Harry was on a plane over the Atlantic. He arrived later that night and took a cab to their house. No one heard him come in. The music was loud and he could hear Louis chatting over the sound. He was also loud. He smiled and dropped his bags on the floor and entered the living room. Louis shot up from the couch and came running over and threw himself at him.
"Harry? What are you doing here?"

"I missed you too much. Surprise." Harry smiled and hugged him.

"Aaaaw, that's so sweet." Louis cooed.

"Aaaaw!" Oli and Calvin sounded.

Louis giggled and took Harry's hand and dragged him to the couch.
"We're having a little party here, celebrating an awesome day of filming. I'm a bit tipsy."

"So it went well?" Harry asked and sat down. Oli handed him a beer and he accepted it and took a sip.

"It went great! I think the video will be awesome." Louis grinned.

"I'm confident that it will. Hi Oli, hi Calvin. How are you?" Harry asked.

"Living the life." Calvin replied and took a gulp of beer.

"Yeah, we had so much fun today." Oli answered.

"They were brilliant, I tell you that. Brilliant!" Louis grinned.

"I wanna hear all about it." Harry smiled and put his arm around Louis' waist and pulled him closer.

He listened as Louis dived right in and stumbled over his words while he loudly started to talk about their day.

Harry offered to get more beers from the fridge when they ran out and headed to the kitchen.
"I'll tell him about the change of plans tomorrow. This is his moment and I don't want to ruin it. He's happy and bubbly and had a great day. I wanna keep it like that."

They partied all night long and went to bed in the early morning and slept to the afternoon.
"Fuck, I'm so hungover." Louis grunted as he finally woke up.

Harry got out of bed and headed to the bathroom in his underwear. He found a bottle of pain medicine and filled a glass of water and brought it back to bed. Louis smiled thankfully and popped two pills and took a sip of water before he laid down again.
"I have something to tell you." Harry said.

"That sounded serious. What's wrong?" Louis immediately questioned.

"Sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean to worry you. It's just, I'm performing at Victoria's Secret fashion show." Harry informed him, turning to his side to face him.

"What? That's great!" Louis smiled.

"In Shanghai. I have to fly there tomorrow." Harry continued.

Louis wrinkled his eyebrows.
"Shanghai? What the hell? Harry! We planned for some time off together before you're heading to Australia!"

"I know! I know! I'm sorry, okay? I couldn't say no to this. It's a big deal." Harry stressed.

"We spend enough time apart." Louis pouted. He didn't look happy.

"I know that too! Please come to Shanghai with me." Harry pleaded.

Now Louis got really pissed.
"What? No! I can't just drop everything and follow you around like some fucking dog in a leech. Oli and Calvin took a week off work to be able to do this music video with me. I'm not gonna be the guy who abandons his friends when his hot boyfriend snaps his fingers."

"Husband." Harry corrected him.

"Oh, so because you're my husband I should drop everything? That's fucking toxic Harry." Louis snorted.

"I never said that! Damn it, Louis! Of course, you should stay here with your friends as you planned. I just wanted to ask you to come with me to include you, to let you know that I want to be with you." Harry argued upset.

"You have a weird way of showing it." Louis snorted. He got up from bed and walked out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

"Fuck!" Harry shouted and rubbed his face in frustration.
