Guts over Fear. (Dark Louis)

Chapter Three

"So how was it?" Ryder asked me, a look of hope in her eyes.

"He's a prick." I managed to say, still be able to taste the metallic taste of blood on my lips.  He gave me the job, unfortunately, but the way he kissed me and had me pressed against his desk sickens me. How could someone have little to no self respect for themselves or the people around them? Louis Tomlinson was not a man I wanted to be associated with. I don't want that job. There are many reasons why, the first being I can't stand to be that close to him. The second being I didn't want it in the first place. The third being Zayn would be fired from it and he told me when I left the building that he quite enjoyed the job. He said with the job he had before hand he didn't get any human interaction.

"Well, whys that?" Ryder asked me, throwing her hands in the air. I couldn't stand to evan talk about it so I just showed her my lip. A loud gasp came from her mouth. "He wouldn't." She said, shocked. I shook my head, knowing she was thinking he hit me.

"Don't be an idiot, ry. He kissed me and as I pushed him away he bit a little to hard on my lip." I said.  I really can't blame him in the slightest for biting my lip, it probably was a bit of a shock and I did shove him a bit harder than I meant to. I don't even know what this guy does for business.

"Ry?" I ask, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind her as she turned on the stove to make some Mac & Cheese. "What does Louis do? What have I gotten myself into?" Ryder cuddles back into my embrace and sighs. I know she knows exactly what he does, and I know she sent me there to get a job because she thinks I can "fix him", whatever that means. I heard her and Harry talking about it a few nights ago.

~Flashback~

"Harry," Ry whisper yelled at her boyfriend. I could hear them talking through the paper thin walls, having been previously woken from my nice slumber to the disgusting sound of them doing it.

"God, why do you always have to bring this up?" He screamed, having his voice muffled I think probably from the sound of her hand flying up over his mouth.

"She is in the room right next door Harry, keep it down." She said a little calmer now. I sneak out of my room seeing her door wide open. I tiptoe to it and sit beside it, being able to see them arguing. "Harry, listen to me. I know you think she can fix him, and help him out of this but he's in to deep. I can't put my best friends life in danger like that. Don't you remember what happened to the last receptionist? And the one before that and the one before that and the one before that?" She asks, picking up his hand and counting on his fingers to show that she has a point, grabbing on to the last one and shaking it slighting, "This one here," She says still shaking his finger, "This can't be Maz. I can't loose her Harry." She says sobbing into his shoulder. He holds her, clings to her even, rubbing a shaky hand through her hair.

"Ryd," He says trying to gain her attention by the nickname her gave her that she adores so much. "I'm so sorry, and I really hope you can forgive me, and as I tell you this just know how much I love you okay? And I want you to know that I truly have been trying to stop having sex with other girls and although that has nothing to do with what I'm about to tell you, I'd like to think I've done a pretty good job so far," He says cheekily smiling at her, her nodding and mumbling that he has been. "I called Lou today, before I came here, and uh, wow, this is actually a lot harder to say than I thought it would be." He said scratching the back of his neck.

"Hazza, just say it." Ryder said, calling him by the nickname he absolutely hated, but he loved the way it fell from her lips, as I've heard him say before, so he doesn't scold her.

"Okay, well I uh, I kinda gave him her phone number and told him who her parents are, he's gonna call her in a few days with a job offer. If you don't want her to go, then come up with an excuse for her to not go. But I think it'd be good for both of them. His stupid business is getting so big, he doesn't even know how to run it. Its a damn cover up. The other people who work for Kal are going to be using Louis' business a lot now to help out with covering up all the street work. Marcel, Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis and I are at the highest point we can be at other than being the boss. I wish I didn't get her into this you know how much I love her. And baby, I wish I didn't get you into this either. You can't talk to anybody about this."
