Lust ~A Liam Payne Fanfic~

Chapter 4

The bus pulls into the station. You gather your things and check the time on your phone. 6:37pm.

”Hey follow me alright?” Harry slings his bag over his shoulder and grabs your wrist. He holds on to you while the both of you shuffle through the crowds of other boarding and arriving passengers. You reach an open space with similar benches as the other station back home. You correct your thought, That’s not home. There is no home anymore. 

“You stay put, or take a piss I don’t care, just stay in this general area I’m going to call a cab alright?” He smiles at you and you nod. You end up wandering over to the vending machines and blowing $10 on snacks. You carry the small mountain of food in your arms back over to the bench. 

“Didn’t know it was Thanksgiving” Harry chuckles as he approaches and steals a few chips from your newly opened bag. 

“I haven’t eaten since last night, leave me alone” You playfully hug the remaining packages as you continue to munch. 

“C’mon we’ll hit McDonald’s on the way back” He laughed, yet again. This boy is so damn happy all the time good lord. 

“Oh, we don’t have to, I’ll be fine. It’s alright” You stammer as you gather your things.

“No you won’t, You’ll be hungry. You’re really going to turn down $5 worth of fast food? It’s not Red Lobster or anything” He raises a brow and sighs before disappearing into the crowd. You try to catch up to him as he waves in and out of the crowd and catch his hand as he’s walking out the door.

“Why are you being so nice to me? I mean you don’t usually befriend strangers on public transportation.” You ramble on, stuffing the rest of your snacks in a pocket of your bag. 

“Why not? Why is it so rare for someone to be genuinely kind?” He smiles, like he has for practically the entire trip, but this time is different. You had walls built so high you were practically buried. He hadn’t torn them down, but it’s almost as if he poked a hold just big enough for the faintest beam of sunshine to touch your skin.

“Ready?” He gestures through the doorway and you step through. 

“Here, give me your bag” You slide your duffle bag of your shoulder and hand it to him. The driver of a cab pops the trunk and Harry sets the bags in it before he plops in the front seat. You slide into the backseat and Harry give the driver an address before turning over his shoulder. 

“I would sit next to you but I figured since we sat next to each other all day you might like some space” 

You respond with just a smile and a nod. You go through the drive-thru at a McDonald’s and Harry gets you a meal. The rest of the ride is fairly quiet besides some basic small talk here and there. 

You arrive at the hotel Harry hands you your bag and you get your wallet out to help pay for the cab fare. 

“No, I got it” Harry gently pushes your hand away. This is beyond just being kind. Nobody is that nice to a stranger. I don’t care who you are, You think to yourself as you tuck your wallet back in your pocket. You follow him into the hotel lobby. 

“Aw a suite for the couple?” The recipient coos.

“Oh, we’re not a couple” You and Harry say in unison. 

“Oh, so it’s ‘that’ situation” She winks and Harry shifts his weight uncomfortably.

“No, we’re just friends, can I have two rooms please?”

“Very well, 503 for you and 511 is right down the hall” She slides two room keys on the counter. You take your key and start for the elevator. “Hold it for me (y/n)” Harry calls and you see him quickly shuffle towards you, but he doors close before he can step in. Why didn’t you hold it for him? Your subconscious scolds yourself. You just stood there frozen, unable to move. The doors open and you walk down the silent hallway. You slide your room key in the proper door and walk into the room. 

“Poor Harry, I bet he’s so confused right now” you mumble to yourself as you set your bag on the bed. 

“Oh I’m not confused at all” 

You whip around to see Harry holding a gun dead at you. Your breathing stops and you’re frozen. 

“You think I don’t know you are ? Huh? I had this all planned out” 

“H-How did you get in here?” You stammer. 

“They always give you two room keys”

“But how did you-”

“Took the stairs” He cuts you off. Harry slowly walks closer to you. You take a step back and he cocks the gun. He circled around you quickly and holds the gun to your temple. He whispers in your ear.

“You’re not going anywhere sweetheart”
