Dangerous

Chapter 8

I sat down on my place, turning my computer on. Maybe it was better if I wouldn't talk to Harry anymore, after I made the biggest fool out of myself. I was too embarrassed to even leave the office. I saw, that I got a lot of new mails yesterday, so I checked them all and of course, I had to print a lot. I sighed and sent them to the printer. It took me a lot of courage to actually leave my office and go all the way along to the printer room. In the big hallway before the room where a lot of people were. I walked fast, almost ran into the room and closed the door behind me. Finally alone. I sighed in relief and went over to the printer, where my things already were printing, but I heard the door opening. Shit, shit, shit! „Katie?“, I heard a familiar voice. It was more a high voice, but I couldn't recognize who it was. „Yeah?“, I called back and went a few steps forward. „Oh hey, here are you“, Louis appeared next to me. „Oh hey, you scared me“ „Am I that ugly?“ I giggled and looked at the printer, „no, no“ I could feel his arm wrapping around me, „I heard what happened between you and Harry“ I looked up into his green eyes. Were Harry and him even friends? „Uhm well … I made a fool out of myself and it is immature so let's just not–“ „No, you didn't I am completely on your side“ „What? Who even told you?“, I looked confused at me and leaned forward to get his arm off me. „Take a wild guess“ He smiled at me and I giggled. „Yeah … dumb question. But why are you on my side? I mean there aren't even any sides in this“ What was this guy up to? I mean, he was good looking yes and everything, but what the fuck was he up to? Was he the guy I heard Harry talking to a few days ago? „Well, on fights there are always sides and I think he shouldn't have let you back without a reason, you know“ I smiled, „oh common, Louis, I let him back obviously“ He laughed and I could feel his hand on my shoulder again. „But seriously, I am here if you need someone to talk to, I see that you've cried“ This guy confused me. „How do you see that?“ „Your eyes are red“ „Maybe I just smoked some weed?“ He laughed and slowly started stroking my arm. He sat down on the table next to the copier and smiled at me. I automatically followed him, so his hand would stay on my arm. I don't know, he gave me comfort. He seemed like this best friend type that you could spend all day cuddling with and he would always be there for you and everything. „Thanks“, I whispered and looked at the floor. I felt sadness coming up in me again. „Oh come on, don't be sad“, his hand went under my chin and slowly lifting my head up, making me look at him. „Should I bring you something? You can't work like that!“ I smiled lightly, „well, I have to“ Then he pulled me between his legs into a hug. A really comfortable hug. He laid his head onto mine and softly kissed it. It took me a while until I wrapped my arms around him and snuggled into his chest. I didn't know why, but I trusted him.

„I can't believe she's falling for that“, I whispered angry as I quietly closed the door to the copy room. „Oh common, she isn't. She just needs someone to support her right now“, Liam said who was leaning against the door frame. „No, Liam. That's his point, he uses that. He acts the comforting guy until he can sleep with her“ I leaned against the other door frame and laid my head into my hands. I couldn't believe he actually did that, I think I called him off enough. Liam laid both of his hands onto my shoulders. „Just don't to anything wrong, okay? Don't slap him again“ „If he gets too close to her I will“ „Why don't you just tell her?“, Niall, who just joined us, asked as he opened his Coke bottle. „She won't believe me“ „Are you guys in a fight now or not?“, Liam asked. „I don't know if she's mad at me or not! Well, it was quite shit from me, I get her point“ „She wouldn't fall for his things, she isn't stupid. She has class, Harry, don't forget this“ „Even the classiest girl would fall for Louis Tomlinson“, I jangled in disgust. I couldn't believe that he used to be my best friend. 

„Oh common Harry, you know you can do this“, Louis tried to motivate me. „No, Louis. I won't use this situation. She's in a fight with her boyfriend, for fucks sake!“ „Harry, look, it took me ages until they finally fought, so fucking use that situation. She's crying, mate!“ My sight went over to Katie, crying. „You mean you got Katie and her boyfriend into a fight?“ „Yes, why so surprised?“ I looked at him in disgust, „Louis, she doesn't know us. And we shouldn't even bother about her, you're giving her trouble! That's none of our business, god!“ He sighed and laid his hands into his head. „Listen, if you don't go, I will“ „You wouldn't do that anyway“, I said, taking the ice cream from the ice man. „Thanks man“ I gave him the money and turned around to Louis again, who was already walking towards her. I pulled him back and looked deep into his eyes, „you won't“ „Do you really wanna fight over a girl?“ „No, obviously not, it's just a girl“, I lied. She wasn't just a girl to me, actually. I didn't know why but I just had the feeling that she was the one for me from the very first second I saw her. But I couldn't talk to her because of her boyfriend and because I couldn't have anyone new in my life because these people were after m– „Dude, hello are you still here?“, Louis snapped his fingers in front of my face. „Oh, yeah right sorry“ „If you never talk to her, she's going to get married to that guy!“ „Well, not after that fight I guess“ „I did a good job, didn't I?“, he asked proud. „No, you fucking didn't! Stop with that shit!“ „Oh common, Harry“ „You should stop just fucking girls and just see sex in them and maybe just look them deeply into the eyes and get something called feelings!“ „You fuck more girls than me“ „Yes, but I think about Katie all the time!“, that was maybe a bit too loud, because her head moved up and she looked around. „Oh fuck“, I whispered as I turned around and smiled awkwardly at the ice man. „Alright, alright let's stop fighting. Okay, it was dumb what I did, but I finally want you to talk to her! It's like you never look at a girl like you look at her and seriously Harry, every girl you ever met wanted you! Why wouldn't she?“ „I don't know“ He sighed and leaned again the ice car, „you'll talk to her soon, believe me“, then he walked away and in the next few days I didn't see him working, he was mostly in Harvey's office. 

I let go of Louis' hug and smiled at him. „Thanks“ He slowly rubbed my back, „it's been an emotional first week, wasn't it?“ „Yeah, quite“, I replied, smiling to the floor. I only noticed now that my hands were lying on his knees. I slowly took them away and smiled awkwardly at him. „How about if we'd drink a coffee together? We haven't talked much yet“ „Yeah … in the break?“ „Why not now?“ „It's working time?“, I said in an asking tone. „Aaah because of that 5 minutes!“ He laid his arm around my shoulder and we changed the rooms. I saw Harry standing there, with an angry facial expression. His hands were clenched to fists. I wanted to talk to him so bad, I wanted to kiss him again, I just wanted to feel him and call him mine, I sighed and looked to the floor. „Don't worry, I am there for you“, Louis whispered into my ear, making me comfortable. We went into the break room and I sat down. „What do you want?“ „A hot chocolate please“ A minute later he put it on the floor and sat down opposite to me. „Thanks“ „So, are or were you with Harry?“ „I don't really know“, I scratched my head. „You don't know?“, he looked confused at me. „Yeah, I mean we've only known us for four days and you know“ He nodded. 

„Okay, I'm not taking this anymore. He's probably already getting close to her. I am going in now“, I said and opened the door. Louis looked angrily at me and Katie turned around. As she saw me, I could see her eyes filing with tears as she turned her head. „Ooooh, Louis Leeroy is searching for you“ „Tell him I am coming“ „Could we maybe talk alone for a second, friend? Leeroy told me some things you should maybe know about.“, I lied. „I'll be – see you later“, Katie said, getting up and as she walked past me, she covered her face. I really fucked that up, didn't I? I would talk to her later. As I heard the door closing, I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him up from his chair. „On her side? Really Louis?!“, I hissed through my teeths. „You listened to us? That's quite creepy, bro“ „You fucking asshole“ I slammed him up against the wall and went really close to his face. „Stay off her, okay? It took me long enough to get her and you are not going to destroy that, no.“ „Oh common, she wants a manly guy to fuck her, not a cute guy with curls.“ I pressed him harder against the wall and suddenly the times I had with Katie came up in my head and made me smile. „But you don't have curls?“ „You probably didn't even touch her yet, or maybe you did she seems like a real bitch“ „Don't talk about her like that!“, I screamed and throw him against another wall. I was about to slap him, the door opened and Liam and Niall came running in. They pulled me by my arms and tried to calm me. „Stop with that shit, Louis. Seriously, you dick“, Liam said as they pulled me out. „Keep calm, Harry. You can't continue like that“, Niall said, „go and talk to her. You know she really likes you“ I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. „Did you hear what he called her? Did you fucking hear it!“ „Sssshhhh, not so loud“, Liam whispered. „Sorry … but did you hear it“ „Yes, Harry, we did. Calm down, you know her. She won't like sleep with him or something. Calm down“, he calmed me as he hugged me. I pulled him as close as possible and tried to forget Louis.
