Opposites Attract 2 (Harry&Louis)

Chapter 10

Harry's POV - At Louis' House

"Lou," I swallowed my saliva and blinked crazily. I couldn't believe his mother was about to slap me.

"Well," she fixed the wrinkles on her blazer and walked back to her seat at the dining table, "you are not welcome here, Harry."

I was in such a difficult position. I want to be brave and be with Louis... even if being with him means dealing with his uptight, stubborn mother.

"This is my home too," Louis proudly stated, "He is more than welcome to stay."

She huffed as if Louis said something funny, "I have built everything from the ground up. You're standing on all of the hard work I poured into the business to get you where you are. You are very lucky to be my son, Louis, and you-"

"I have my shares of successes. All of the shit you put me through even since I was a baby, you put me through hell. All of the commercials and interviews and photo shoots and news articles... all of the lies and rumors you had published about me. All of the friendships you've broken for me," he laughed a little then continued, "you're sitting on my money too, mother. The major shares I own, the major businesses I've built up, the company you're shoving down my throat, and the arranged marriage you're shitting out of your ass... I don't give a flying fuck. I don't want your money and I'm sick of you pushing me around. I am not one of your little puppets."

She stood up from her seat and uttered, "How dare you-"

I couldn't believe everything he was saying. I can't imagine what hell he went through. He is so strong, so intelligent, so brave... but yet he is obviously feeling so weak and afraid. He tightened the grip he had on my hand and I clutched his arm with my other hand to assure him that it'll be okay.

"I will do whatever you ask me," he suddenly said, "I will do all the shit you want me to accomplish in order to join our companies and build our businesses to the next and highest level... but once you all get what you want, then I will get what I want."

"And what is it that you want?" Travis asked, concerned.

"To live my life," Louis smiled to me, "to do whatever the hell I want and... to love who I want to love."

"You will not be gay, Louis," his mother laughed, "I simply will not accept that."

"It's not up to you," I found myself saying. Everyone stared at me and his mother shot me a scornful look, "I'm sorry... but it's not up to you. Louis can be whoever he wants to be... you are controlling every other aspect of his life. You're even controlling the people around him. Isn't that enough? He's still your son, you know. I understand you want a good future for this company and that even when you step down from your position, you want this company to last forever but you're putting the company before your own son."

Louis just stared at me and didn't say a word. I hope I didn't speak wrongly for him.

"Interesting," was all she replied. Then she gave her bodyguards a look. They nodded their heads and approached me.

"Your visit has come to a closed for today sir," the tall, hulking man spoke as he placed his strong hand on my shoulder, "we will guide you out."

"Louis," she smiled, "stay."

Louis was about to say something to her but I pulled him into a one-arm hug and whispered,
"I'll see you later, don't worry."

Louis looked worried but he nodded and never left my eyes until I was dragged out of the room.

I crawled into bed with dad and papa, something I haven't done since I left home.
