Use Somebody

Chapter 31:

Louis's POV:

Harry is finally back to 100%, it's been a week but he feels better. He told me he needs to drop by the bakery. It's the end of January and he still has his cast. It supposed to come off around February tenth. He's very excited and can't wait.

"Harry, why do we need to go to the bakery?" I ask for the millionth time.

"I can't tell you, it's too secret." He says grabbing my hand again.

He leads the way to the bakery and opens the file to hear the chime.

"Welcome to Baking with Style, I'll be right there." Niall screams from the back room.

Harry motions for me to follow him and it takes me back to the night that we fucked against the wall of the bakery. I remember coming in the next day and Niall vigorously wiping down the tables. He must have looked in the trash can where I threw the condom we used.

He walks us to the back and I see Niall come tearing out of Harry's office.

"What were you doing in there?" Harry demands.

"Nothing."

One thing I know about Niall is he never gives one answer to any question, he always gives a lengthy explanation to every question asked.

"What were you doing in my office?" Harry demands again.

"I was doing nothing."

"Niall, what were you doing in my office?"

Niall's eyes darted to the ground and then to me. Harry saw this.

"Louis, what was Niall doing in my office?" Harry had ripped his hand from mine. He was mad and I could tell.

"I don't know."

"Someone better give me an answer! What were you doing in my office?" Harry yells.

I watch as Niall jumps from the yelling. Harry never yells so he must really be upset.

"Louis, Harry's cheating on you!" Niall blurts out.

"What! Harry is not cheating on me, are you?" I start to question myself.

Harry whips around to Niall. "What are you talking about?"

"I saw your calendar, it has another person's name on it for today. You're going to go see him today." Niall explains.

"What name!"

"William."

Harry's face turned ghost white. "You don't get to say that name." He says coldly.

Harry rushes out of the bakery and that leaves me with Niall.

"Why is he so upset? Who's William?" Niall asks.

"He isn't cheating. Don't ask and you won't hurt him." I say and head outside to Harry.

---

Harry was sitting on the curb watching the cars go by. I sit down next to him and place his head on my shoulder.

"He wasn't supposed to find out. Today was going to be my due date. I was so excited because we were going to be birthday buddies. His first, mine the day after. I never thought he would die, never in a million years did I think that his own father would take his life. It doesn't make me want to cry anymore but it does upset me. I was hoping Niall would never find out." Harry explains.

"It's okay. Niall won't tell anyone."  I told him.

He picks his head up and kisses my lips.

"Now you don't want to start something you can't finish." I tell him which makes him laugh.

We walk back in and see Niall standing there watching for customers.

"I'm sorry." He says.

Harry waves his hand at him. "Don't worry, you were bound to find out sooner or later." 

He walks to the back room and I stay up front to talk to Niall.

"His birthday is tomorrow, did you know that?"

"Yeah, it's on his calendar."

"What do I get him?"

"Something from the heart."

What Niall said had me thinking, something from the heart. This is going to surprise him for sure.
