BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 4. Edited.

"Sure, Linda," he gladly accepted.

We left work and walked straight to the nearest Starbucks, it wasn't too far. We were queuing when I saw someone just in front of me with a tattoo I had seen before, "Louis?" I whispered. The boy turned around and yes, he was Louis.

"Ms. Anger!" he hugged me so tight, like if we were old friends but he didn't even know my name. "How's the ankle and the owner?" he asked softly. Then a dark-browned girl turned around and smirked at me. "She is my girlfriend, Eleanor,"

"Nice to meet you, Linda," I waved to her. "And..." I remembered Carter, "He is Carter, a friend," I introduced.

We ordered our coffees and Louis asked us to sit with them. We do that, his girlfriend was gorgeous and they looked beautiful together. They came up with questions about our job and Carter mentioned the offer for the vacancy at Fabulous.

"... so I have my interviewee already," Carter concluded.

"What about you?" Eleanor asked me.

"I don't have anyone yet; I don't even know what I'm going to talk about..."

Eleanor smacked softly Louis under the table.

"You can interview me." Louis suggested, "I'm famous... I guess." We all laughed.

Of course I accepted, it made me really glad to be able to interview someone like him, not just because of his status but he is an amazing person and working on my project it's going to be easy and really nice.

Carter and I walked to our houses; his was nearer the coffee shop than mine so I walked like three or four blocks alone. My phone rang, an unknown number sent me a message.

*Are you free on Saturday? That day we can have the interview if you want... btw I'm Louis!*
when I got home, I replied, *Sure! Haha. Thanks again*

Harry must have given him my number because I forgot to.

...
Weekend was finally here, Louis told me the address and Jake took me there after Kay begged him too much not to be an asshole for one day and make something for her girlfriend's best friend, he'll always be a jerk.

"Hope you enjoy being with Louis Tomlinson, Li, I want to be you right now, geez," Kay said.

"Thank you, thanks Jake," I climbed off the car and noticed I was in front of a hotel, and then my phone's screen lighted up.

*5th floor. Room 203* Harry sent.

He is here too.
I announced myself and took the elevator, it was just exactly as the hotel from Zack & Cody TV show. I got to the room and Harry was sat on the floor with a baby, she was beautiful; light eyes and blonde hair. He smiled when I hopped out from the elevator and stood up, he lifted the baby with him.

"Hi Linda," he waved the baby's hand "she is Lux, Louise's daughter,"
Lux was lovely and joyful. I grabbed her hand and she smiled.

"Hi Lux, you are beautiful..." I used this tone every single person uses when talking to a baby; I realized I sounded like a sick squirrel. Harry laughed and the girl did too, at least I was being funny.

"Louis is over there," Harry showed me the door. His tone was different, more serious than seconds before.

"Oh, thanks." I smiled "Bye Harry, bye Lux," I said and knocked Louis' room.

The door opened by itself I guess; he was with this boy I had never talked, the one with blonde hair, playing X Box.
I knew who Harry, Louis and Liam because I talked to him and Zayn wasn't easy to confuse, I guessed he was Niall.

"Wait a second Linda, I'm kicking Niall's ass," Louis screamed and I couldn't help laughing.
After competing against each other for quite a long time, Niall finally won when his car ran in the last minute faster than Louis' and reached the goal first.
"Next time I'll win Nialler," they treated each other like brothers, their relationship was wonderful.
I had written down some questions for Louis and when Niall left the room I began to ask him them.
Louis never complained about any question and answered every single one of them respectfully and using his funny side.
There were just a few questions left when Harry came into the room silently, he placed his index finger on his mouth like saying: "I will not make any noise," and then he sat behind Louis.

I tried to be focused just on the paper I was writing on and tried not to make eye contact with Harry, his presence overwhelmed me.

"Thank you Louis, we are over," I closed the notebook and he raised his hands and exclaimed "Yay!" and then hugged me.
Harry looked down at his phone. "I'm glad I could help you." He looked behind at Harry and then looked at me "I'm going to... go for a glass of water, talking this much made me thirsty," he left the room.
Harry was motionless, using his phone so I stood up and grabbed my purse and put the notebook and my pen inside it.

"Well, I gotta go." I said. He didn't say anything. I felt stupid I didn't even know why and walked to the door.

"No... wait!" he shouted. I turned around. "I want to know something..."

"What?" I asked emotionless.

"Why did you ask Louis to be your interviewee and not me?" Really. Was he really asking me that?

"Because Louis told me I could interview him..."

"I thought we were friends, more than you are with Louis,"
What did us bring friends had to do with me interviewing Louis?
And, I didn't know he thought we were friends that soon but I really liked it, him thinking that way.

"We are..." I didn't know what to say. If I barely knew him maybe I had thought he was jealous of his best mate being my choice?

I was going to ask why he was acting that way but Louis came running to the room.

"Harry, mate, the recording for The X Factor is today," he voice was so... British.

I was American, I moved to England because of my father's job and then he abandoned us; but we stayed here. Still my voice tone is not British at all.

"Oh, my god,"

I felt like I was doing nothing so...

I grabbed my purse.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked me.

"Umm... home,"

"Come with us, it will be fun." Louis suggested.

I wanted to go but it will be... weird. They treated me like I was friends with them since always and we have known for three days or so.

"Please," he begged.

Louis was so nice, I couldn't say "no" to him so I nodded and then said "sure".

They two and I met the others in the van, it was like a limousine because it was pretty large.

I climbed first into the van, I thought Louis or Harry would sit with me but they didn't. They sat in the seats in front of me. Zayn sat with Liam and the blonde guy sat by my side.

"Hey," he smiled gently to me.

"Hi" I smiled back.

"My name is Niall Horan," he gave me his hand to shake it.

"I am Linda, nice to meet you," I grabbed his hand but he tugged me and hugged me.

All the way to the studio Niall asked me about myself, what I do, just everything he could and when his questions were over I asked him the same ones back.

Harry's POV

We climbed off the van, Louis was still telling me about his last football game, I'm proud of him but I couldn't concentrate in his story, all I wanted was for Linda to climb down the car and talk to her, she has something special that intrigues me so much.
But, she was talking to Niall, really deep into a conversation that I didn't want to ruin.
I kept walking.
Later on, I tried to avoid Louis' talk to search Linda but he is detailing every single thing to me. My family is here, all of our families are here because it is the last show of the year and they were so supportive with us.
When we got to backstage I saw Gemma, my sister, she is one of the nicest person I've ever known. I greeted her and my mom.
