A Promise Worth Keeping (Larry AU)

Chapter 1

"Niall, you shit. Why didn't you wake me up?" Harry shouted at Niall who was in the living room watching tv with a bowl of cereal in his hands. 

He had applied for a job and he got an email saying that he got it but he had to do a trial run before so he can really know if he wants the job or not. He woke up about twenty minutes later then he had planned. Now he was going to be late.

"Oh yeah..... you have your job interview today right?" he asked.

"It's not an interview dummy, I already got the job," Harry yelled from the bathroom so Niall could hear him. "It's like a test run to see how it goes I guess" he sighed walking out of the bathroom and into his room to get dressed.

After about five minutes, Harry walked out of his room wearing skinny jeans, a white button-up shirt and boots and his long hair was tucked behind his ears. He tried to make himself look the bit presentable since he might be working for one of the richest men in London. 

"How do I look?" he asked his best friend who turned around to look at him.

"Horrible as always" Niall joked but the earned a slap in the back of his head from Harry. 

"I'm kidding" he whined while rubbing his head "geez Haz you can't take a joke?" Harry simply rolled his eyes at him and grabbed his keys and wallet before walking towards the door. He said goodbye to Niall then headed out. The drive to his possible new job was long. It almost took about an hour and that's why he wanted to wake up early to get there.

After about forty-five minutes, the lady in his GPS said that he had arrived. His eyes went wide when he saw the place. It was mansion-like. Wait--- it was a mansion. It was surrounded by a huge gate going all around the place. He clicked the button at the gate and a man was heard from it asking who it was. "I'm Harry Styles, I'm here to see Mr. Tomlinson," he said. It was silence on the other side until the gate went wide open. 

He drove into the place and once he got inside, it was even more beautiful. Tall statues were standing in front of the mansion, the garden was huge and beautiful, full of garden gnomes and he spotted a lady trimming the flowers. He kindly smiled at her to which she returned. Once he got in front of the house he parked the car and got out. He went and knocked at the front door. Seconds later he was greeted by a man in a suit who seemed to be the butler. He followed him to the living room.

Harry stood at the door frame looking at the little girl lying on the carpeted floor playing with barbies and an older man sitting in Indian style next to her and making voices that made her laugh. 

"Mr. Tomlinson you have company," the butler said and the man sitting on the floor quickly got up and walked towards them. Of course, Harry had seen pictures of Louis Tomlinson before since he was the richest man in London, but he's never seen him up close. The man was truly beautiful. He was like an inch or two shorter than Harry. He had beautiful blue eyes and he had a cute little fringe on the side of his face and he was wearing dress pants and a button-up and his suit was on the arm of the couch.

He reached his hand out for Harry to shake and Harry kindly accepted it. "Louis Tomlinson, nice to meet you," he said in an accent that Harry found extremely sexy. 

"I'm Harry. Harry Styles" Harry said while looking at the beautiful god standing in front of him. He found it really hard to look away. I mean how could he look away?

he walked Harry to the couch and told him to sit down. "Harper, this is Harry and he might be your new nanny" Louis smiled at his daughter who got up from the floor and gave Harry a hug. Harry was shocked at first but quickly accepted the hug and hugged her back. 

"Hi Harry, I'm Harper," she said with an award-winning smile resembling her father's. 

"It's nice to meet you, Harper," Harry smiled at the little girl in front of him who looked a lot like her father. Same cute little nose, same eyes, same smile, and beautiful brown hair.

Harry almost forgot that Louis was in the room with them. That was until he cleared his throat. "Harps honey, why don't you go up to your room while I talk to Harry for a while" he smiled to the little girl who smiled back and headed upstairs.

After she was gone Louis turned back to Harry and told him that they could talk in his office. Harry followed him admiring the beautiful paintings on the wall that probably cost more than his entire life. 

When they finally got to the office, Louis told him to take a seat and that's what he did. 

"I can tell she likes you already," Louis started.

"I really like her too" he chuckled and looked around the office.

"I'm assuming you know about her condition?" Louis asked and Harry nodded. He continued "Well Harper is a very bright girl and I admire her so much. She's my world and I've been the only thing she has since she was born" he was cut off by Harry.

"What happened to her mother, if you don't mind me asking"

"She died while giving birth to her five years ago," Louis said.

"I'm really sorry to hear that," Harry said with a frown. 

 "No need to apologize. It was a long time ago," Louis said. "But it's been heard raising a daughter by myself. Especially with her condition. Harper was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. It pains me that I can't stay with my daughter all the time but I always make sure that she's in good hands and that's why I hire the best nannies." he smiled at Harry who slightly blushed. 

"Anyway, I've ever seen harper get along with one of her nannies before so that's good and I really hope you take the job, Harry. Of course, you would need to move in here. It's easier that way because Harper will need to take her medications and sometimes when I'm not here I need someone to take her to her appointments. But don't worry cause I mostly work from home but sometimes I have to leave for important business trips."

Louis looked at Harry unable to read his facial expression but he continued "You don't have to worry about cooking and cleaning and other stuff like that, I have people for that. You just have to take really good care of my daughter and look after her. All of my workers here get along very well and I respect and care about all of my workers so I think you should be fine working here Harry" He smiled at Harry and reached his hand out and asked, "so do you want the job, Harry?"

Harry didn't hesitate before shaking Louis' hand in his and exclaiming "It would be a pleasure working for you Mr. Tomlinson,"
