HARRY

"Hello?" Harry answered his phone sleepily; he didn't even bother to check who it was.

"What the hell happened to your shops?" a woman's voice said.

"Gemma?" Harry asked still disoriented.

"Why are you asking? Don't you have my number saved?" Gemma replied.

"I didn't check who was calling, I was sleeping" Harry said as he rubbed his eye with his free hand "Are you back from your honeymoon?".

"We got back last night" said Gemma.

"I think that was the longest honeymoon I've ever heard off" Harry commented.

"It was just three weeks" Gemma said "But that's not important, what's important is that when we woke up today we didn't have anything to eat so we went to have breakfast at the coffee shop that's near our flat and it was no longer there, so we went to the one near your office because I really wanted to eat one of those chocolate muffins, but that shop was shut down too".

"Oh, right, you don't know" Harry said.

"What don't I know?" Gemma wondered.

"Dad's a bastard and I decided to take my shops from the company" Harry said.

"What?!" Gemma asked surprised.

"I'm not even talking to him, apparently I'm dead to him" Harry said as he looked at his bedroom's ceiling.

"What happened? And why didn't you call me to tell me?".

"I didn't want to ruin your honeymoon Gem, and it's a long and complicated story" Harry sighed.

"So you can call me on my honeymoon to ask about Louis Tomlinson because you had a date with him, which you never told me how it went by the way, but you can't call me to tell me you left dad's company?".

"Both those things are related actually".

"What both things?" Gemma wondered.

"Louis and the reason I left the company" Harry specified "Which, by the way, is not something I could tell you over the phone".

"What does Louis have to do with this?" Gemma questioned, Harry could hear the confusion in her voice.

"He has a lot to do".

"Did dad get mad about you dating him? Because I thought he had already accepted that you're gay" Gemma guessed.

"He's never going to accept it, and no, that's not the reason, I'm not even dating Louis" Harry explained.

"You're not? I was sure you two were going to hit it off, he's exactly the kind of person who would be perfect for you" Gemma told him "But I guess that's not important right now, tell me what happened".

"I should tell you this in person, maybe you can drop by later?" Harry asked.

"Andrew's already driving me to your flat" Gemma scoffed.

Harry chuckled, he should have expected that.

"How long will it take you to get here?" Harry asked.

"Like 5 minutes" Gemma said "I expect you to have breakfast ready for me".

"Sure, I have to make breakfast for me too" Harry agreed "Andrew's coming too or he's just dropping you off?".

"He's just dropping me off, I have the feeling we need you have one of our talks" Gemma replied.

"Yeah" Harry nodded although Gemma couldn't see him.
