Chapter 16

"He's here and I fucking stink shit, I didn't know he was that close when he texted. I'm going for a shower quickly." I shower as quickly as I possibly can putting on a pair of joggers and a sweatshirt. 

Seem's I've walked in at the right time. 

"So your Harry ay?" Liam questions from the arm chair. 

"Yeah I'm Harry." he says plainly. 

I stand back for a bit and be as quiet as possible and listen. 

"So uh where's Louis?" I hear Harry rummage through the fridge probably for some water. 

"He's off in the shower he's told me how much he loves you. It's amazing you've changed him for the better thank god." 

"I love him more than you think. Ay how did you find out about me as I knew Lou didn't tell anyone about me for the safety of our relationship?"  

There's a brief pause. 

"You saw the paper?" Liam questions.

"No I didn't." 

"Well Louis didn't want to worry you but you two were plastered on the second page it's a picture of you and him kissing on the beach y'all went to. Don't get mad he was looking out for you two he wants to keep you safe you two safe more like he doesn't want to lose you. So he told me if anyone ask he wants me to tell them I don't have a clue what it's about." I can sense Liam giving him an assuring smile. 

"Oi" I say coming round the corner. 

I give Harry a kiss and wrap my arm around his waist.

"I missed you Lou." he says smiling down at me. 

"I missed you more Haz." 

"Oi Liam I told you not to worry my man that's right I heard." I raise a brow. 

"He was going to find out anyway." he crosses his arms. 

"Yeah your right." Harry gives me a squeeze on my hip thank god he understands. 

"You could of stayed with your mum tonight." I say resting my head on his shoulder as we settle on the couch. 

We sit awkwardly in silence. After eating the pizza that came just minutes ago. 

"So I have a game tomorrow, Payno why don't you and Harry come to it together get to know each other?" I suggest awkwardly. 

Liam let's out a laugh. 

"Tommo I can feel your tenseness from over here would you relax yeah? I like Mr. Styles here." he looks at Harry smirking.

Harry gives him a smile. 

"I know you do I just.. I just don't know why I'm so nervous about this. It's just-" my phone rings and my heart drops to my stomach it's coach Rob.  

I have to answer it. I swallow and take a deep breath before answering it.

"Tomlinson." 

"Rob?" I say trying to keep my cool. 

"You have a game tomorrow but when you arrive I'd like to speak with you I saw something that needs addressing." 

I get up walking outside on my back garden out of ear shot. 

"Coach Rob what possibly could be the problem?" I say acting like I don't have a clue what he could be talking about. 

"I saw a picture in the paper today as I was reading it. Louis Tomlinson seen with...." I cut him off. 

"I'm not talking about that shit over the phone I got guest and it's really none of your damn business!" I snap. 

"Louis-" I hang up I'm not listening to anyone tell me who to love and who not to tomorrow I'm surely going to snap. 

Inside I slam the door shut causing both Harry and Liam to jump to the loud bang of the door connecting with the frame. I shouldn't talk right now so I head straight to my room. I knew Harry would follow me in. 

"Lou?" he says softly. 

I look at him tears in my eyes. I don't want to lose him I can't, I won't. He pulls me to his chest as I let the tears fall. 

"Was that your um?" he questions I know he doesn't want to say the wrong thing. 

"Yeah it was he's seen it.He wants to speak with me tomorrow." the knot in my stomach is getting bigger and bigger. 

"Louis I'm not going anywhere I promise." he kisses my cheek and it helps me relax a little but I'm still scared. 

"I will say something that's going to hurt you I always do and that's what I'm afraid of. I'm going to have to lie Harry in order to keep us safe, to keep your business with me safe." my voice cracks.

"It's okay." 

"Maybe to you but it's not right that I have to lie all the fucking time for us." I say tears burning my eyes "it's anything but okay." 

"We can't hide forever Louis and like you said we have nothing to do with your business." 

"But Harry my image goes with my business also with football. I love you so much you know that but I'm sick of lying to everyone and you thinking it's okay and it's not." 

I can see tears welling up in his eyes. 

"If you love me Louis then stop lying say the truth tomorrow even if it comes with something sticky." he says coming closer. 

"I will Harry but I love football and I don't want to lose it." I say.

"What's more important Louis? Think about that." 

"Harry, we have Liam out there waiting and I know what's important it's you that is and I just can't give it up it's a passion I've had for a long time." I say. 

He shakes his head. 

"I'll deal with it Harry don't worry you are more important and football is just something I like to do but know this when I say that football is something I like to do doesn't mean I will give it up. I'm going to sit down with Rob properly and work out some plan okay?" I say coming closer to him. 

"I love you Louis." he pulls me into a kiss. 

I kiss him back and this kiss the one I'm tasting now may the last one we have for a while. 

"I love you Harry so much." I break our kiss and go out to join Liam. 

"Mate I got some friends that want to party you want to tag along?" he says standing at the door. 

"No I'm good I need to get some rest for the game tomorrow." I say smiling at Harry. 

"Rest yeah right." he smirks looking at Harry and I. 

"Watch it Payno." I say with a laugh. 

"Right well I'm off cheers." with that he walks out. 

The next morning I wake early and dress and head for the stadium I tell Harry to come round there about 12 and I can let him in for him to go find his seat with Liam. 

"Tommo Rob wants you in his office." a team member of mine says. 

"Oi which one of you told him I was here? Oh I want you to let my mate Liam in when he gets here with his friend okay? Liam knows what to do from there." he nods and I make my way to Robs office. 

I take a deep breath before knocking on the door here goes nothing.....
