In Too Deep, Too Far Gone.

I was stumbling, looking in the dark
With an empty heart
But you say you feel the same
Could we ever be enough?
Baby we could be enough

Harry was glad to be back in London, as was Louis. It always felt good to come back home after being away and now that things between them had returned to normal, Louis and Harry were both looking forward to settling down to their routines. Louis had to return back to work on Monday and Harry was due to start his second semester at Uni the following Monday too. Since it was Saturday afternoon, they decided to spend a lazy weekend to end their two weeks vacation on a good note. They did nothing but eat, sleep, make love, watch movies and just be together. Everyone in Louis' house was happy that their boss was finally happy and looking to settle down with Harry especially Judy who doted on the both of them and made them lovely meals for the duration of their lazy weekend, mostly spoiling Harry rotten, earning her playful reprimands from Louis that she should stop spoiling him. But Judy only brushed him off and continued to pamper Harry. Secretly, Louis was jealous but nobody had to know!

Come Monday morning, both were reluctant to leave each other. They woke up together, showered together, had breakfast together, with Harry almost sitting on Louis' lap while eating, lingering, hanging on to each other. Eventually, they left the house together, hand in hand. Louis had Angus drive them to Harry's Uni first. He wanted to drop him off. They kissed languidly and slowly in the back seat of the Bentley like two teenagers in love, holding hands as they kissed caressing each other's fingers and whispering words of love to each other in between kisses. When Angus parked in front of the University, they clung to each other as if they were parting for days instead of a mere few hours. Louis wouldn't let Harry go but kept on pulling him back in for kisses. Not that Harry was complaining. He loved the way Louis was loving him and kept laughing and giggling into the kisses but time was of the essence and soon Louis had to let him go but not before making Harry promise to text him whenever he was free which Harry did, sealing his promises by peppering Louis' face with kisses.

Harry basked in the attention and love that Louis was giving him. He felt as if he owned the world and he knew that nothing and no one could bring him down. He didn't care that he was wearing a Gucci shirt on his black skinny jeans or his Saint Laurent boots to Uni. He didn't care that students saw him stepping out of the Bentley as if he was a superstar and that they would talk behind his back. Louis had told him to own it like a boss and thus he was. Harry knew that they would recognize him now both from being Louis' boyfriend and from the modelling show. He figured that if they were going to stare, he might as well give them something to stare at. He put on his Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses and stepped out of the Bentley, hoisting his Louis Vuitton backpack on his shoulder, waving goodbye at Louis and began walking towards his building, his strides long, slow and confident. Harry never felt like this before and it was thanks to Louis that he now had this surge of confidence even though inside he was still the same old Harry.

Louis watched him go and he felt lonely without him already. How was he going to go through the day without seeing him? He made a mental note to tell Lynn that as of now he would be leaving the office not later than 4 pm. He needed to make a working schedule now that he had a partner who waited for him at home. He couldn't just work all hours and neglect Harry! He would work from 10 am till 4 pm and go home to Harry. As Angus drove him towards Canary Wharf, Louis sighed contentedly and relaxed in his seat watching London pass by outside. He felt happy. He genuinely felt happy. It was a nice feeling to feel wanted by someone you loved and who loved you back with the same intensity, if not more. He smiled to himself and allowed himself to day dream of a future filled with Harry.
