Flashbacks (ZARRY AU)

PART 10

"SO sorry I'm late" Harry said once he arrived from the restaurant where Liam's waiting.

Liam is Harry's suitor.

They've met when reconstructing Harry's office.

Liam's an architect and he was the one who designed his office. Harry actually never liked Liam at first. Yes, he's kind and yes he's also gentle but Harry wasn't interested in him because Harry's only in for business and only purely business.

Liam was the one who approached Harry first and confessed saying he likes him but Harry didn't feel any giddiness at all when Liam confessed. Liam begged Harry for a date but Harry declined...at first.

After his office was successfully restored, Harry thought Liam will leave him alone since their project is finished but, he was wrong. Liam came back day by day just to serenade Harry.

The people from his office were always smiling and giggling every time Liam brings flowers, chocolates, cakes and other sweet pastries to Harry but Harry wasn't glad at all. He finds it annoying and troublesome. Harry was about to put an end to it when Liam made another speech of how he adores Harry and such.

Niall also told Harry to simply give it a shot and after all, its alright to do dates. Harry thought about it and well, gave Liam a chance but, he'll only pose as his suitor and not as boyfriends in an instant.

So after 3 months of going out, getting to know each other, Harry didn't find anything interesting related to Liam. Liam's interests are far different from Harry and he can't even relate to him sometimes. They talked about topics that bores Harry and maybe it is boring because Harry isn't interest in him since the beginning.

"Hi Harry and its alright....I just got here too" Liam answered as Harry eyed the table and saw his plate with bread crumbs on it and the table mantel where his glass was sitting is already soaked, he must have been waiting for Harry for hours.

Harry took his seat opposite to Liam "I'm really sorry....I got caught up with....work" Harry lied "No its really okay....I fully understand you're a busy person" Liam grinned. Harry stared at him and gosh, Harry can no longer take this, Liam's too good for him that he needs to stop whatever they are because for him, its definitely not working out.

Harry took a deep breath before exhaling and look at Liam straight to his face "Listen Liam...." he started as Liam looks at him with a smile "You're a great guy...in fact, an amazing guy..." Harry took another breath "But I don't really deserve you" and from that, Liam's smile slowly faded "You're being too good to me....I feel like I don't deserve all those treatment you gave"

"Harry, I can change for you....what do you want me to do?" Liam barged in "Stay as you are....you're the perfect you but....not perfect for me" Harry answered "Liam, I tried. I tried to like you, I tried to tell myself to like you since you're nice, kind and gentle and always so understanding but later I realized that I don't deserved it"

"No Harry, you deserved it! You deserved whatever I give you..."

"Liam, please stop...I know someone out there is for you and—"

"I don't want anyone else!" Liam raised his voice giving a shock to Harry and the other people at the restaurant. As Liam realizes this, he composed himself and looks at Harry "I don't want anyone else..." he repeated as Harry was speechless.

Did Liam just yelled at him?

"I'm sorry for shouting, that was rude of me" Liam said, running his fingers through his hair as Harry stood and look at him with wide and scared eyes "I want this to be our last meeting" Harry answered "I appreciate your admiration for me...but this ends here" he added as Liam controlled himself not to go in range but his hands says otherwise, they instantly formed into fist "Good bye" Harry lastly said before leaving Liam with range on his heart.

——-*——-*——-**———-

Harry told Niall what happened between him and Liam.

Harry was so shocked that Liam shouted at him in public. Harry and Niall are at his apartment and Harry can't stop pacing back and forth telling Niall repeatedly "I thought he'll understand when I said to stop whatever we have....I didn't expected him to go rogue" Harry said as he bit the tip of his thumb "You should've seen his face Niall, it was like a villainous face" he added "Okay Calm down Harry....you did what is right. And besides, he doesn't have the right to force you to continue whatever you have. You're adults, come on" Niall answered as Harry agrees "When he shouted, I remembered someone who's just like that..." Harry said as he slowly walked and sat on the sofa "I remembered Michael....yeah, Michael"

"Who's Michael?" Niall asked as he sat beside him. Harry shifted his seat and face Niall "Michael, the bully from High school. When I saw Liam being that way, memories came flashing back....on how Michael tormented me back then" Harry said as his skin prickled "Harry" Niall put his hand on his shoulder "High school was way way back....it was a long time ago...you're a professional now and an adult. No one's gonna hurt you like how Michael did back then" Niall explained "You're stronger, braver and independent than before...you got this" Niall added with an assuring smile as Harry nodded his head and sighed "You're right...I am stronger. I am braver than before" Harry repeated "And no one, not Michael or Liam will ruin that" Niall chipped in as Harry nodded his head again.

Yeah, he's more mature and stronger now, he got this.

Back at Green eyes gallery, Zayn's still thinking about Harry. He suddenly ran away and Zayn wanted to know why. The whole Harry running away is giving him the feelings of deja vu, like he saw it happened before.

"knock knock" Zayn spun around and saw Louis on the door frame "Hey Lou"

"SO????? Any teas?" Louis said referring to his and Harry's meet up. Zayn sighed and spun his desk chair while answering to Louis "He said he forgives me..."

"Wow amazing!"

"But then I feel like he didn't mean it" Zayn barged in as Louis raised an eyebrow "How so?"

"I don't know...." Zayn stopped spinning and propped his elbows on the glass table "He said he forgives me but I can feel something's not right..."

"Or you're just overthinking it?" Louis answered as Zayn sighed "Maybe. Maybe not. I also brought him here....showed him my gallery" Zayn shrugged as Louis suddenly just squealed "OMG GALLERY DATE!" He shouted as Zayn shake his head "You're talking nonsense again. I just showed him my gallery and my paintings....but he didn't even saw half of it because he suddenly ran away" Louis' head tilted "Ran away? Why?"

"That....I don't know" Zayn groaned "I think I messed up because he ran away again" Zayn stared at Louis as Louis thinks "Or maybe....he felt some deja vu shit that he ran away" Louis answered back "Deja vu???? Shit??"

"You know, when something happens from the past, also happened now. Its possible you know? Its like, parallel" Louis explained "Why don't you go to his office then? Surprise him" Louis suggested as Zayn's eyebrow raised "Lou, I don't want to do that! He might think I can't get enough of him"

"Its true is it? That you can't get enough of him?" Louis playfully wiggled his eyebrows as Zayn's eyes widened "Ughhh stop it! I'm not here to develop romantic feelings. I'm here to win Harry's friendship back!" Zayn reasoned as Louis snickered "Oh Zayn...you're being in denial" he said "Just do the surprise thing....Friends do surprises" Louis shrugged his shoulders as Zayn rolled his eyes and signaled Louis to exit of his office which Louis obliged.

Zayn spun himself as he face the wall with his paintings on it. He sighed and thought, maybe surprising Harry will be a good idea? He just hope it is.
