One two three [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 11 - Another level

Louis calls the next morning. Both Harry and Chloe were more than okay and Louis gives Harry some more tips on how to take care of her. Unfortunately, Harry has work so Louis volunteers to give Chloe the extra attention by spending the afternoon with her. Of course, Harry happily agrees.

So here they are, Louis and Chloe in their living room playing scrabbles.

"Weed! My favorite word! Thanks, Chlo!" He excitedly put the two tiles in order to combine them with the 'we'.

"Pothead!" Chloe teases with a side eye.

Louis grins. "No weed, no life. Funny how we never got high together before."

"I've never gotten high." Chloe mumbles.

"What?!" Louis is in shock. "What? Why? What have you done in college? And we've had weed around all the time with the lads, you never tried?" His voice has upped few octaves, he can't believe his ears.

Chloe shakes her head. "I just, I was busy studying. And not everyone had cool friends, Tomlinson."

"No,... no, no." Louis shuffles standing up. "No friend of mine is a weed virgin, we're doing it now."

"What? Louis, no! And what? You have some on you now? You walk around with weed?"

"Calm down, officer! Do you want to or not?"

"I'm down!" She grins but there's uncertainty in her voice. "But if I turn stupid, you'll do the explaining to Harry."

"Don't you worry about him." He stands and moves his feet to go.

"You're going to buy some now?" Chloe's eyes widen at Louis' eagerness.

But Louis disappears into the hall instead of the front door and yells back: "No, I'm going through Harry's stash."

Chloe is suprised with her mouth agape. She has lots of questions.

When Louis comes back with a small plastic bag and some papers, she's asking: "We have that in our house? I'm going to have a serious conversation with Harry!"

"Chill out, love." Louis sits, he opens everything and starts to roll the blunt. "He also has coke and shroom there."

"What?"

Louis turns his full attention to her now because he senses like he just betrayed Harry. "Look, he does, okay? And I'm sure he had no intention on hiding them."

"But-"

"Trust me, he's not an addict and won't be. If that's what you're afraid of!" Louis cuts her. "We all just have them just in case. And sometimes they're hard to get because of our high profile and all, so we all have a stash. Have been since we made it and no accident ever happened."

That calms Chloe tons. "I'm just... I know but just... why would he hide it from me... it's not like I'd judge or forbid him. Frankly, it came as a surprise, three years later."

"When I tell you he didn't!" Louis goes back to his roll. "He didn't hide, it's just not relevant to him. He keeps them mostly for us, the lads. Com'on, you've seen us do them!"

Chloe looks attentively how Louis licks the paper to finish the bong. "That I knew, but not the stash!"

Louis lights the blunt and takes the first drag then exhales. "Not a big deal! Come here and let it go!"

He beckons Chloe closer and she does. She knows how it works, she's not that naive. She takes her first drag and Louis smiles proudly.

"Outta girl! Now wait for it to work." Louis praises.
