Taking Risks

E L E V E N : ANOTHER DEAL

HARRY'S P.O.V.

What is something bad is going to happen?..

Am I gonna run?

Or try to fight it or..?

"Mr. Styles?" I raised my head up for the secretary to see. "Thank you for waiting. Mr. Robertson would like to see you now" I stood up and made my way to his office.

"Hello, Harry. Take a sit." He gestures me into one of these chairs in front of his desk. His office is quite smaller than the meeting room that we were in before. Its clean and minimalistic. "I invited you here to address something.. Something that I wouldn't offer to anyone else" *gulp* what is this game? "But first, I want to ask you something..." I stayed silent. "Are you interested with Avery?" How did-? "You mean, Margaux?" I thought I was the only- "You and I both know that her real name is Avery, right?" He's lying. Or is she?! "You looked confused.." He stood up from his chair to sit right in front of me. "Her real name is Avery. This is a declarative sentence." Is it... "But how would you know that?" Sean laughed a little. "I just know, Harry" I don't know what to say nor do. "So, are you interested in her?" I can't answer his question. I don't really know. I guess I am attracted to her..? "I see that you can't speak. Haha. I'm warning you, Styles, if you are planning to do something bad to her, you'll be dead." Why? Does he like her? He's older than me. "Why? Who is she to you?" I asked.

"Styles! Hahaha. Do not glare at me. We treat each other like family here...brother." "Don't call me that!" "Now, now.. Harry. I brought you here because I want to give you an offer like no other" ?. "...What kind of offer..?" He started to grin. "After your training, we will go back to LA, you'll all do the job that we're referring to. I'm going to give you another one." another one? he picks up a picture on the table. "See her? I need 'you' to see what she's doing. Follow her around when you get the chance and tell me all about it. Pretty simple" I took the picture from his hands. I think I know this person. I think I have met her somewhere before. "What will I get in return?" "We'll give you some cash and maybe even a chance to run away with Avery. Don't try to run away after your first mission, or else.." Find this person, and be free. Pretty easy. "Okay" I immediately kind of almost took back what I said.. Margaux. She deserves to be free. "All set. Good bye, Styles." I stood up, went to the door and opened it. "Oh wait!" Sean was reaching for something under his desk. Its a paper bag. "Please give this to Avery. Don't let her know that we both know her name nor get her close to me or too much with you. Or else, you'll or both of us.. will be dead." I nodded at him and I went back to the suite.

All of them were there. Including the lads. I went straight to Margaux and handed her the paper bag. "Wh-what is this?" "From him" She nodded at me and I sat down on one of the spaces to listen to what Matt is saying.

AVERY'S POV

I went back to my room and opened the paper bag. It revealed a shoe box-a shoe box from Converse. Wha-... I opened it up and saw a new black and white all stars. Why would the boss do this?

I went back to the common room and listened to Matt. He said that we'll train for weeks until we're good to go and we are going somewhere to execute it. All of the boys will be staying in the suite that they once stayed in. Finally. I visit Harry. I looked at him and he looks pretty occupied with thoughts. I wonder why..

+ + +

After training, I showered and then I felt like I wanted to go out somewhere. I instantly thought about Harry. He still haven't talked to me after the time he went into the office. I managed to talk to Niall for a while though. He's nice. But he is still weirded out by the thought of us becoming friends in the future. I wore a vertical striped leggings and a black boxy-top and decided to blow dry my hair. The blowdryer looks harmless but when I pick it up from the counter, it felt like it weighs so much. Lastly, I tied the shoelaces of my converse and I headed out to where the guys are.

*knock knock*

Niall opened the door. "Hey, Margaux" I peeked through inside. "Is Harry there?" I asked. "Y-yeah.. Come in" He opens up the door for me. The three of them were playing cards. I felt a little bit out of place but what can they do to hurt me? "Uhm.. Where's Harry's room?" I asked them. "The next room in the first door." Louis told me. I murmered 'thanks' to him before I got inside the first room. It was a lot smaller than mine. But definitely big enough for a person. It's decorated with soft greens and blues. Maybe this room belongs to Louis? or maybe Liam? I stood in front of the door near the nightstand. *gulp*

*knock* *knock* "Who's there?!" He shouted. "It's me" there's a short beat. "Come in" I slowly opened up the door, revealing Harry's messy state. There are folders around him; that he is rapidly picking up. "What are those?" He picks up the last one and stuffed it inside one of the drawers. "Just the contract." I nodded and sat on his bed. "Why are you here?" "Is this a bad time?" He runs his fingers through his hair. Looking irritated. But his face softly goes back to normal again. "No not really." I don't know if I should.. "I'll just go back some other time" I stood up from where I'm sitting and headed out the door. "No, -fuck, wait" I turned around to see him running after me. He clasps his hand on mine and brought me back to where I was sitting a few seconds ago. "Stay. I didn't told you to fucking leave" "Do you really need to swear? Is it 'that' necessary?" I sprawled my body across his bed, placing both of my feet up. "Take your shoes off!" I rolled my eyes. "Why are you so fuc-hard to talk to?!" He stood up, takes the shoes off of my feet and throws them 4 meters away. "Look who's on their period" He stares at me with a unseen expression on his face. I stopped giggling and sat up straight. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go out.. and get som-" "You're asking me out on a date?!" I rolled my eyes again. "Don't! Don't roll your eyes at me, Margaux" "Geez, I'm sorry! I just wanted to eat out, live normally for a few hours" He stays silent. "Alright. I guess I'll have to bring someone else with me, then" I jolted up, went out of his room, stepped out of their suite's door and knocked on ours.

"LEVII!!" Levi opens up the door for me. "Don't shout, Marg" "C'mon. Let's eat out" "-But" "It's fine. I'll pay for it, don't cha worry" He seems pretty convinced. We reached the elevator. I was about to talk about the weird choice for an elevator music when somebody managed to come in with us into the elevator.

It was Harry.

He steps in, going between me and Levi and his arm was flailed on top of my shoulders. "I didn't sign up to be a third wheel" I took off Harry's arm and moved a little bit father to the corner.
