Anything For You.
Louis had not been expecting such a big turn out of paparazzi. As soon as he and Harry approached the automatic glass doors leading out from the VIP lounge to their waiting car, Louis saw them. A whole throng of them waiting like a pack of hungry wolves ready to attack. He gripped Harry's hand tightly and gave him a what he hoped was a reassuring smile, not wanting to alarm him.
'Ready?' he asked him and Harry nodded, a smile on his face which Louis could see was tense and a little frightened. 'Do not let go of my hand. No matter what. They won't touch you Harry. There's security and if they do, I swear to God I'll sue them so hard they won't know what hit them.' Harry nodded again and took in a deep breath.
'Let's just go,' he told Louis in a soft voice. Louis laced his fingers through Harry's and they walked towards the door. As soon as the doors slid open, flashes began popping and a mob surrounded them both. Security kept them at arms length but the paps pushed and crowded around them. Harry took in a sharp intake of breath when he felt them pressing in on them and he huddled closer to Louis.
'Louis who's your new boy toy?' one shouted.
'Louis where did you find him?' another yelled.
'What's his name?' someone called.
'Is he another fling or is it serious?'
Louis held Harry's hand so tightly he was sure he was fracturing Harry's finger bones. Security helped them get to the car with difficulty because the paps all pressed around them tightly. Harry could hardly see with all the flashes going off in his face. He could feel them pressing up against him and a few times he stumbled because they pushed too hard, but Louis held him and made way for him to get into the car first, then Louis got in beside him. The cameras still flashed against the tinted glass of the cars and their shouts could still be heard along with hammering of their hands on the roof of the car and windows. The driver started up the car and tried to pull away from the curb but a few of them got in front of the car stopping their progress. Thankfully, security moved them out of the way and the driver pulled out on to the road. Once they were moving, Louis wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulder.
'Are you alright?' he asked him looking him up and down as if checking for injuries.
'I'm okay,' Harry rasped. 'I'm just overwhelmed.' Louis kissed his head.
'I know baby. But you did so well. You braved them like a pro,' Louis praised him and Harry relaxed in his arms. Louis continued to hold him not wanting to let go of him. 'They didn't hurt you did they?'
'No Lou they didn't,' Harry told him snuggling in deeper into him. 'I told you I'm fine okay. Stop worrying.' Louis kissed his head again.
'I just want you to be okay.'
'I am okay. I am in L.A with you. What's there not to be okay about?' Louis laughed and cuddled him, taking the opportunity that Harry was actually letting him cuddle him this much. The driver drove into downtown L.A. towards the Metropolis. Harry looked at the scenery as it flashed by. He couldn't see much since it was nearly 2 am. All he could see where lights and beautiful sky scrapers and restaurants and people. He was so excited to be here and couldn't wait for Louis to take him sight seeing.
The driver finally stopped in front of a beautiful building. When Harry got out of the car and craned his neck up to look at the building, he still couldn't see the top of it. It was all glass and lit up like a Christmas tree. Louis took his hand and led them inside as the driver took care of their luggage. The inside of the building was quiet. A large foyer made up of white marble, white couches, white rugs, no walls just glass, a white desk to the side with a security guard behind it, some plants. It was plain and simple but very luxurious and sophisticated. Louis greeted the security and the security greeted him back. Louis tugged Harry towards the bank of elevators. He pressed the button and they got in. Harry noticed that there were 73 floors and he watched as Louis took out a key, inserted it into a hidden lock behind a small panel and when it opened, pressed the button to the penthouse. Of course it would be the penthouse! Nothing less than the penthouse for Louis Tomlinson! The ride up was a bit of a long one but finally the bell dinged and the elevator opened up straight into Louis penthouse.
