Stark Heir (Larry stylinson)

{Chapter 8}

Harry's POV:

During Sunday night's dinner, I did make some conversation with Alec, but still talked to Louis more than the adults sat across from us. We ate our dinner and were in the process of cleaning up when there was a knock on the door. Mom went to answer the door while us three finished up. "Harry." I hear mom's voice making me turn around. I turned and saw my mom had a sad look on her face with Bradley, my personal driver, standing a little behind her. The smile that was on my face while talking to Louis was now gone. It was only in that moment that I realized that it was Sunday and nearing night time. Meaning it was time for me to go back to the tower. "Hey Bradley. I'll get my stuff together." I say and walk upstairs to my room.

Once in my room, I put the contracts and the other small objects I brought with me into my bookbag. "What's going on?" came a small, upset sounding, voice from behind me. The voice belonged to none other than Louis who had without my knowledge followed me from the kitchen. "I go back to the tower on Sunday night every week." I tell him. "So, you come here on Saturday afternoons and leave on Sunday nights?" Louis asked me. "No. I usually spend Friday afternoon till Sunday night with my mom. This week was different though. The deal for this week was I am here from Saturday afternoon until Sunday night then I'll come back Tuesday night but go back to the tower early Thursday morning."

3rd Person POV:

Hearing Harry say that he was going to be back in a few days made Louis happy that he didn't have to wait a week to see him. "Harry, we need to get going!" Bradley yelled from downstairs. "I'll be down in a minute!" Harry yells back as he puts his bookbag on his back. Louis took a shot in the dark and asked Harry for his number. Harry agrees only if Louis gives him his number. They swap phones and put their numbers in before handing them back. As they say goodbye and Harry starts walking towards the stairs Louis stops him. Out of nowhere Louis hugs Harry around his waist. It took a second but Harry hugs Louis back before they stepped out of each other's embrace to the sound of Harry's driver yelling for him to hurry up or he will drag Harry out. Louis stayed upstairs and watched as Harry walked down the stairs and out the front door. Louis went into his temporary room which had windows facing the front yard, along with Harry's room, Louis watched as Harry climbed into the blacked-out SUV but right before the vehicle was going to drive off Harry's window rolled down. Harry's smiling face with deep dimples poked out as he waved goodbye while looking at the window Louis was standing at. Louis smiled and waved goodbye as well before the SUV drove off.

Harry's POV:

The entire thirty-minute drive to the tower was spent looking over the last few contracts that I had left to read over while trying not to think of Louis. Usually when I had to go back and forth between my parent's houses I don't think of leaving either one, I just go. The time however after leaving all I could think about was the boy I left behind. This feeling of missing where I was and wanting to tell Bradley to turn around is completely new to me. Even with all the thoughts running around in my head, I still somehow managed to get through the two of the five contracts I had out. I thanked Bradley when he opened my door before I made my way into the tower from the elevator available in the underground garage and told FRIDAY to take me to my floor. I grabbed a water bottle from my fridge before going to my bedroom to lay in bed. I was still in my sweatpants and hoodie from mom's house but with a beanie covering my wild hair in case anyone saw me so I didn't need to change to be comfortable.

Once in bed I grabbed my jar of skittles from my side table and sent a text to Louis with a picture of me and my jar telling him I made it. A few minutes later Louis sent back a picture of himself lying in bed. Something was weird about the picture and it took a minute for me to realize what it was, he was wearing the other hoodie I keep at mom's house. 'Is that my hoodie?' I sent to him. he responded with a 'yes, is that okay?' I tell him that it was okay but still asked why he took it. Louis told me that he was cold when he left my mom's house and my mom noticed so she told him he can take one of hoodies from my room. I could tell just from the picture he sent that the hoodie was too big for him making him look even smaller than he already is. I wanted to tell him that he was cute in my hoodie but I decided against it, for now, and just told him he can use my hoodies anytime. After that we continued texting for the next few hours. We said our goodnights around two in the morning when I told Louis I best get some sleep since I have to be part of a lot of boring meetings in the morning that I need to stay awake for. Louis said it was probably a good idea for him to go to sleep too since he has to sit through classes tomorrow.

I woke up to my alarm at seven am and went to take a shower. I put on one of my suits and styled my hair before taking a picture to send to Louis with a text, 'How do I look?"

A few minutes later I got a text back saying, "You look amazing! You're going to do great in your meetings." Then Louis sent another text asking how he looked and sent a picture with it of him wearing my hoodie and a grey beanie covering his hair.

This time I couldn't hold back what I was thinking. "You look adorable! Forget running a company I just want to cuddle with you all day." Is what the text I sent back for Louis to read. He sent back a blushing emoji. I wanted to continue texting him but the alarm on my phone started going off telling me I needed to grab the contracts and make my way to Pepper's office. I grab the forms I need and get into the elevator. I quickly tell FRIDAY where I need to go and while I sent a final text to Louis saying, "Wish I could keep talking to you but I have to go over contracts with someone. I'll text you later. Have a good day at school!" Just as I hit send, the elevator doors opened and I started making my way through the hallways. When I was two doors away from Pepper's office my phone went off to tell me I got a text. Of course, it was from Louis, "It's okay, I just got to school anyways. Don't fall asleep during your meeting. Good luck today!" His text made me smile and feel like I am starting my day off good. I quickly turned my ringer on silent and knocked on Pepper's door. "Come in!" Pepper's said from inside. I turn the door knob and walked in to start the professional part of my day, and for the first time in a while I started my day with a real smile on my face.

Louis' POV:

I just finished texting Harry to tell him I arrived at school and put my phone away in my pocket. I had a large smile on my face making my friends look at me weird the look at each other wondering what was going on. After a few minutes Niall was the one to ask, "Okay, I give. What's making you so happy at eight o'clock in the morning?" I decided not to tell them everything, "I met Harry over the weekend and we almost instantly clicked. Before he left to go back to the city last night we traded numbers and texted last night and this morning." Liam and Niall looked at me a little shocked before they both started laughing. I was confused and asked what was so funny. Their answer shocked me. They accused me of having a crush on Harry. "Harry is good looking I will admit, but I don't have a crush on him. He just made me laugh and put me in a good mood, that's it!" I tell my friends. They don't care though since they keep poking fun of me liking my soon to be stepbrother. I end up just having to walk away from Liam and Niall since I was tired of listening to them and it was almost time for class to start. No matter how upset they made me though, I still had a smile on my face thinking of the text Harry and I shared.
