[Apologies for the long wait, here we go! Vote and leave comments!!!!]
Louis dreads this day. He should be waking up looking forward to see things with Adrian but he's stuck in between Harry and Chloe's problems instead, which he is partially responsible of.
Only if Chloe chose another place to stay. And if only Harry picks up his phone. Ugrhhh...
"Hey...!" He comes out from his room and greets Chloe who's shuffling around the kitchen, making what it looks like coffee and pancakes, that some are already on the island.
She turns around smiling. "Morning, Louis!" Then takes the cups. "I'm sorry I used the kitchen, I just wanted to show my gratitude."
Louis smiles back. "I won't mind when it smells this good!"
Chloe beams at the attention. "Take a sit, then."
He does and Chloe brings the coffee. They sit. So strange that it's only the two of them, this early in the morning. Chloe looks unbothered but Louis is more than uncomfortable. It was different when they were high, but they haven't been on themselves alone sober. He can't stand the awkward silence.
So he breaks it. "How you feeling?"
"Better,... still angry at Harry that after we've been through he said that... I'm not ready to talk to him yet." She shrugs. "I'll try my best to avoid him at work."
"Chloe, I'm not trying to dismiss your feeling but, don't you think you overreacted a bit? shouldn't you talk it out?"
Chloe stares at him with a 'are you kidding me' look.
Louis raises his hand in surrender. "Sorry, sorry, love. I won't meddle."
"I'd appreciate that." Chloe says in a definitive tone. She's intimidating like that.
"O...kayyy..." Louis gives up. "Thank you for breakfast," he stands to put his dishes on the sink. "The maid will come clean everything later so you don't have to. I'll go see Harry on my way to work, he hasn't taken my call yet."
"Don't tell I'm staying here, alright?"
"Love, he's my best friend. And as much as I like you, I'm loyal to him first." If Chloe was going to be straight forward, why would Louis hold back.
"I- " she suddenly feels self conscious. Her demeanor doesn't change but her voice is slightly weaker. "I'm sorry, that was selfish and very inconsiderate."
"I'm just trying not to stand in between you two."
"I know. You're amazing for that, Louis." She smiles. "I'm going to a hotel or something tonight anyway. Thank you for the hospitality." Then Chloe lunges herself to hug Louis.
Louis opens his arms for a hug anyway. "I'd do anything for you both. Take your time and let me know whenever you leave."
She hums in his neck in understanding. She breaks the embrace and looks at Louis. They're still very close. She pushes Louis' fringe to the side. "I will." Then pecks his cheek "have a nice day!" then lets him go.
"You too." Louis answers evenly but internally freaking out at all of these ministrations. There is a flirtatious vibe in her tone. She might not be really aware of it but it's there. Louis is old enough to know subtle seduction when he sees or hear it. He lets it go as Chloe says she won't be staying there.
Louis heads down, passing by the building's lobby to pick up the folder Zayn left and to his car.
The drive to Harry is spent taking some calls from the office.
