A Promise Worth Keeping (Larry AU)

Chapter 4

Harry went back to the dining room with Louis on his mind still. He knew it wasn't professional to have a crush on his boss, but Louis didn't have to know about how harry felt because to Harry it was just some stupid crush that would go away eventually.

He hoped.

When he got back to the living room, he saw Harper and Holden talking nonstop and he figured they were done eating.

"Are you guys finished?' he asked them and they nodded getting up from the table. He took the plates to the kitchen to clean them. even though there were people to do that, Harry never liked people cleaning after him so he did it himself.

When he finished, he went back to the living room and saw the kids playing so he took a seat on the floor next to them. "What do you guys wanna do today?'

"Can we play hide and seek!" Holden asked Harry while tugging on his shirt.

"No, I wanna play Frozen!" Harper pouted and Harry lifted her up and kissed her cheek making her cheek making her giggle.

"Okay how about we play hide and seek, then Frozen Harps since Holden asked first?" he put Harper down after she nodded.

And they did just that. They played hide and seek, then frozen. The frozen game was kind of confusing to Harry since he didn't know how to play an evil snow monster. Harper was both Ana and Olivia was Elsa since she had blond hair and finished early. Holden was Olaf.

They played until it lunch time and Harry made sure that Harper took her medication after lunch and she and Holden had a thirty-minute nap. when they woke up full of energy, they begged and begged to go swimming. Harry finally gave in and took them outside to the pool. They were in the kiddy pool next to the big one while Harry kept a watch on them. After hours playing outside, Holden's dad came to get him.

"Daddy!" holden called while running into the raven-haired boy's arms that were open.

"Hey bug, how was your day?" he asked his son while drying him off with the towel that Holden was holding.

"It was amazing, I made a new best friend," he said motioning to harry who was coming inside with Harper in his arms.

"Uncle Zayn!" Harper called out. Harry put her down so she could go hug him.

"Hey sweetie pie, I haven't seen you in what seems like forever" Zayn smiled picking her up and kissing her cheek.

She giggled and said, "I missed you".

Zayn put her down and frowned a little "I missed you too honey are you giving your dad any trouble" He laughed when Harper when shook her head. He then turned to Harry and went to shake his hand. "You must be Harry, my son's new best friend" he laughed and Harry nodded.

"Holden's a great kid, we had tons of fun today I hope to see him again soon" Harry smiled and Zayn returned it.

"Well we best be going Holden," he said turning to Holden and grabbed his bad. He tossed it on his shoulders and picked Holden up.

"Bye harper, bye Harry" Holden waved and they waved back.

"Bye Harry it was nice meeting you" Zayn smiled and turned to Harper "bye sweetie uncle Zayn loves you, and be a good girl okay?" he kissed her forehead and she nodded saying "I love you too".

When the left, Harry picked up Harper and went upstairs to see Brooke heading downstairs.

"Brooke can you get her cleaned upstairs please" He smiled and she nodded.

"sure, come on sweetie" she smiled and took Harper's hand. The three of them walked upstairs listening to Harper's rambles about frozen. She really loved Frozen. Brooke took Harper to her room to clean her up, and Harry went to his room to finish unpacking and shower also.
