Taken(H.S.)

Chapter 7

~HARRY POV~

"I just need 16 tickets to Florida by tonight! Is it that  hard to do?!"  I yelled into the phone. "Why do you call me at 8:30 in the morning for stupid shit like this? Why can't you do it?" Zayn groaned. "Because sometimes you just need a friend to lean back on, Zayn! And how is it stupid that I just wanna take my wife and her friends to Miami so we can have a good time for once? I just wanna get things off her mind for a little while! Her store just burned down for god's sake and I'm already trying to fix that !" I hissed into the phone. Today is not gonna be my day.

"Okay, bro. Calm down, I'll have them by tonight! I'll order them off your Expedia account and everything will be fine," he reassured. I sighed. "Thanks, man. Sorry for going off on you like that. It's just, I want everything to work out for her because I hate seeing her stressed out like how she was yesterday," I explained.

"It's alright, I know what you mean. Perrie can be a handful too sometimes," he chuckled. "Hey! No I'm not!" I heard her say in the background. "Well, I'll catch you later, dude," I said.

After he hung up, I went online and look up some of the empty buildings downtown. I found an old building that was almost, if not bigger, than her old store. I dialed up Niall, my old buddy, to see if he could get some construction workers on it for me. I thinks he's like a real estate agent or something.

"Hey! Niall! I need a favor! Do you think you could get some people to design a building for me downtown?"

"I could get some people on it, I think. Which building do you want remodeled?"

"It's the old coat store on Kelley Street. I'll send you some pictures of how I want the inside and outside of the building," I said. "Okay, I know what building your talking about now. And may I ask why you all of a sudden what a building remodeled?"

"Yesterday, my wife's store went down in flames and she was so devastated. I just wanna make things right for her again," I sighed. "Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I'm about to call up some people for the job. I'll catch up with you later, man," he said. "Alright. See ya later. Thanks again."

I hung up the phone and shoved it in my pocket. I sighed as I paced the kitchen. It was almost 9:00 and Hazel was still sleep. My mum was supposed to be keeping Preston for another night so me and Hazel could go out for dinner tonight. I wanted the day to be as stress free as possible for her. I even arranged for her to go on a spa date with Gemma and Celeste, which was around 3 o'clock, just to clear things up about the whole store thing. The other thing I did for her was order her this white dress she always talked about wanting.  And the three surprises I'm giving her are going to be presented at dinner.

"Harry?"

Her soft voice startled me half to death before she appeared around the corner, a white sheet clad around her body. She sleepily wiped her eyes as she came over to me. "Good morning, babe," she said, pecking me on the lips. "Good morning, my sleeping beauty. How does breakfast sound?" I asked as I picked her up and set her on the counter. "Sounds yummy, but I'm still sore from last night. I could barely get outta bed,"she went on.

I chuckled. "Is that so?" She rolled her eyes. "Yes. But I really enjoyed last night. Thank you," she smiled. I watched as her smile slowly faded as the news came on. Of course the first story was about her store.

"My store..." she mumbled, stress already taking over her joyful mood.  I switched off the T.V. "Don't worry baby, I have everything under control. Today I set up a spa date for you, Gemma and Celeste, then I'm taking you out for dinner, and then I have 3 surprises for you later. But as for now, I'm going to make you the most amazing breakfast for you and you are gonna love it. So, you have nothing to worry about," I reassured her.
