Theme Song: Fallin- Macklemore

Harry ruffled his hair and smoothed it back in the mirror next to the door. " No point of going back to work now." He says while checking his expensive watch. "No? It's still pretty early." I say. " Yeah but I got a meeting to head to anyways. Not gonna be back til late. Take the rest of the day don't worry about it." He buttons up his dress shirt and grabs his keys. " Hey uh, there's something we need to discuss."
" Of what matter?" I ask. " I don't have time now but, maybe tomorrow." He gives a sorry look. " Okay..tomorrow then." I look down at my socks.
Harry lifts my chin with one finger and gives me a kiss on the cheek. " I'll call tonight." He smiles and slips out the door.

I hear keys clatter on the glass table downstairs. Zayn never knows how to be careful with anything. Trotting down the stairs, he notices me. " Hey. Did you really talk about art with the errand guy?" Zayn asked while sitting at the island. " Yes, Zayn. You of all people should understand that." I smile to myself. " Yeah..but for a whole hour?" He grins. I laugh.
" How was lunch with the boys today?"
" Not the same without you but pretty good. Of course Louis had to get a girls number at the ordering station." Zayn rolled his eyes. I chuckle at Zayn's annoyance. The door bell rang throughout the house. " That should be, Li and Lou." Zayn says with a mouth full of apple.

I answer and let the boys in. " Hey guys. I bought wine." Louis announces. Liam hugs me and goes in the kitchen to greet Zayn. I lead Louis to the kitchen and sat.
" Jesus, Louis, no one is going to drink wine on a Wednesday night." Zayn shakes his head. " I could drink." Liam pipes up. " So could I." I agree.
Zayn stands and gets three cups from the cabinet. Louis pours the deep red liquid and we sip.
" So how was everyone's day." Zayn starts up a conversation. " Eventful." I say into my cup.
" Kind of stressful because the model I was taking pictures of couldn't stay still. This company needs to stop scouting models for looks and base their choices on professionalism." Liam rolls his eyes. " Yeah I know. I was doing one girls hair and she kept giggling. I had to re flat iron her hair because she kept making me mess up. Plus she was super bossy. She didn't understand that the hair she was assigned to wasn't her choice." Louis sighs and plays with his glass. " Yeah if you want special treatment, go bother the errand boy." Zayn agrees.
  " Speaking of special treatment, I was on my way to the vending machines today and saw Harry lingering around Niall's office." Liam says slyly. " Oh really?" Zayn said looking at me. Louis just poured another glass of wine, he didn't want to hear about Harry. I knew he was pissed at me because he told me to stay away from him. " What do you mean 'lingering'?" I repeat his statement. " You're so oblivious. It took him forever to go in your office after spying on you through your windows. He's always picking the soft people to do shady stuff for him. Be careful." Liam takes a sip of his wine.

I hide my blush. " You guys are crazy." I swat Liam on his shoulder. " Speaking of, you didn't come back to work after lunch?" Louis looks at me. Fuck. " Sounds like that art conversation with the errand boy sure was interesting." Zayn bites his apple. " I did come back. But then I took off again."
" Right with what excuse?" Louis asked. " I was up all night editing a few slides. I was tired." I lie.
" You didn't go to lunch with Harry did you?" Liam asks. All these stupid questions flew at me so quickly I didn't even have time to process a lie.
" No I don't think so." Zayn shrugs. " Why not? Harry's been pouncing on Niall ever since that opening night." Louis says confused.
" He went to lunch with his wife. Right? I remember hearing him talk to the receptionist about it." Zayn says.
" His what?"
