the ceo - h.s. [au]

chapter 34

i drove myself to the hotel today. i wake up at six and hurried my ass to get ready before harry had the chance to pick me up. not gonna deny it, i'm still pissed at him for the way he treated me last night in front of his bodyguard and driver.

since niall is out from the country until sunday, i start to search some stuffs that still on theo's birthday list. niall invited me to come because a couple of his friends are going there too and he told me to wear something disney. i honestly don't know what to wear, he told me it's okay to not wear any costume so i guess i'll just wear something casual.

"christmas shopping? isn't it too early?" jack asks. him and his twin asked to come over since they have a day off today. they're american, so their bosses give them an extra day for thanksgiving holiday and since niall is not at the hotel, i said yes to them and went back to my place immediately after i've finished all of the list because i've went to places since all the stores in london opened.

"nope. those are for niall's nephew's birthday," i explain, sighing while carrying all the stuffs. "help me with the wrapping, will you?"

"sure," they nodd.

"man, how old is his nephew?" finn shakes his head, staring at all the things i've bought.

"i don't know, five?" i ask back.

"if i were him, i'd probably don't know what else i'd give my nephew for christmas," jack says.

"probably a mansion," jack snorts. i just laugh while giving them the gift wraps.

we sit on the living room while drinking beers and wrapping the things that i've brought. these guys are pretty creative with their hands and i'm thankful for having them in here, right now. and another thing to be thankful for is that kenzo is currently sleeping so he doesn't have to interrupt us with his little fluffy body.

"how are things with harry?" finn asks while wrapping one of the gift.

"fine," i sigh. "that douchebag shouted at me to shut up last night."

"why?"

"he was drunk and i don't know why he looked so pissed," i grunt.

"you know people handle liquor with diffrent ways, right?" he reminds me, i just nodd. "some can cry, some can laugh uncontrollably, and some can be grumpy."

"he didn't have to throw it all up on me?"

"he must have had something on his mind then," finn shrugs easily. "tell you what, i've met this guy a couple of times and i'm sure as hell he has a lot of freaking things on his mind."

"agreed!" jack pipes in, "although i didn't major in psychology, i can tell he's an overthinking guy."

"why won't he tell me?" i frown.

"everyone has their own secret." jack says.

"but i'm his girlfriend?"

"look, if he can't even open up with you, why would you date him?" finn asks. i remain silent.

well, fuck. how do i suppose to answer that?

there are so much things that are still left without being answered to be honest, but i haven't got the right time to ask him.

"you still have so many times to know him deeper, so..." finn breaks me from my little thought. "you know, just ask him? you two have a serious problem with being opened up toward each other."

"yeah, i guess i'll try to dig him deeper," i curt my mouth.

at eight, kyle and ashley joined us to grab some coffee in a little coffee shop near my apartment. we always pick this place because it has a vintage atmosphere and always deserted. we kill the time with jokes, story and laughter. i always love it when the all of us gather around. it brings back the high school atmosphere, especially kyle because he has never ran out of stories and a pretty good story teller. we sit on sofas, circling the table with the wall behind me and kyle. this is where we're usually seated because it's a bit spotless.
