Like A Dream

Chapter 5

Two days had passed since Luke and Michael had come over. Harry was practically jumping up and down in excitement. Today was the day he got to visit Louis' workplace!

"Come on, Harold!" Louis called upstairs. "I can't be late!"

"I'm coming!" Harry yelled down the stairs from his room. He was finishing pulling up his skinnies, wanting to look his best. Louis decided he was going to take him to his workplace first, and the boy couldn't have been more excited. However, Louis' job required him to leave the house at 6:00 AM, and Harry had to try very hard to drag his lazy arse out of bed. He didn't know how Louis did it almost every morning.

Before he left his room, he made to sure to put on his collar, because they were going out in public and Louis wanted everyone to know he was claimed.

The sub scurried down the stairs once he was dressed and ready with a big smile on his face. Louis was waiting patiently for him at the foot of the stairs, looking extremely sharp in his white button up, black trousers that made his arse look even more delicious than it usually did, and his white doctor's coat. The man looked unbelievably sexy.

Louis grabbed Harry's hand. "Let's go," he said, pecking him on the cheek and opening the front door. "We've an exciting but busy day ahead of us," he announced once they were seated in the warm car. Because Louis made a shitload of money at his job, being that he was a doctor, he drove a shiny, black Range Rover. Harry almost felt like if he touched anything in the expensive vehicle, it would become dirty.

The drive to the hospital was a short one, since most people left for work around 8:00 AM. That was one bonus to waking up and leaving the house early — there was absolutely no traffic. Some of the smaller, back roads they took even looked somewhat deserted they were so empty. 

Louis seemed to be well known, for the moment he entered the hospital, several people greeted him. Louis proudly introduced Harry as his sub every time someone asked, making Harry blush and smile shyly.

"What's my schedule today, Katherine?" Louis asked a woman who was proudly wearing a beautiful ivory collar.

"Here you go, Dr. Tomlinson," she said as she handed him a clipboard. "Oh, who's this?"

"My sub, Harry Styles," Louis replied with a smile as he looked over the papers on the clipboard. "Oh dear, Aaron's coming back? I thought the medicine I prescribed him would be enough."

"He's caught a nasty cold again," Katherine replied. "You know how his daddy gets when he starts coughing, especially since he has asthma. Here, dear, would you throw this out for me?" She passed Harry a wad of crumpled paper, which he promptly tossed in the trash can nearby.

"You've got a busy day ahead of you, Dr. Tomlinson," Katherine said, digging around for something in the cupboard. "At least your sub will be here to help you."

"Mm." Louis frowned. "So many people are getting sick lately," he commented with a sigh. He levelled a stern look at Harry, saying, "See, Harold? This is exactly why you need to dress warmly."

Harry rolled his eyes and playfully stuck his tongue out. Surprisingly, Louis didn't say anything. He seemed more concerned with the list of his patients.

"Two boys and one girl that have recently been confirmed as subs are coming to see you today for their physical exam," Katherine said. "They're also a bit nervous about being a sub, from what I've heard. Maybe your own submissive will be able to help." She gave Harry a smile.

Harry smiled back. They all made small talk for a while, and Harry quickly decided he liked Katherine. She was nice.

"All right," Louis said, glancing at his watch. "We best get going — we have lots of patients to see," he smiled, grabbing all his papers and medical equipment from the nurses' station.
