Beautifully Dark [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 5

What's going to happen?? :P

************************************************

"So your forcing Louis to date someone for publicity?" Paul deadpanned looking unamused. Louis just kept his mouth shut knowing he would get in trouble if he said anything bad or against what Simon or Paul wanted. If this is what Simon wants him to do then he would. Simple as that really.

But then again Louis hopes Paul talks him out of it so he wouldn't have awkward dates and hand holding. He hasn't dated someone in so long that he really forgot what it felt like to have someone there for him like that. In an intimate way. So he hoped Paul did talk Simon out of it because if anyone can it's Paul.

Simon has known Paul for so long that they get along well. But in the end Simon still owns the company and makes all the decisions. He doesn't base them off of his friends feelings or ways. Just his and that might be why he's so successful with his life. Because he is his own boss.

"Saying it like that is so harsh Paul. More like dating for fundings." He smiled with all his white teeth. Paul glared in his direction with a shake of his head. Louis looked worried. He didn't want Paul to disrespect Simon like that. He didn't want Paul in trouble.

"For money, you mean. Don't you have enough. Do you really need more and from a boy like Louis?" Paul tried desperately to get Louis out of Simons little plan. But Simon looked like his mind was made up and he looked determined to keep it that way.

Louis really didn't know what Paul meant by a boy like him. He thought he was perfectly fine. Why does Paul always treat him like a baby? Louis didn't understand because he thought he could take care of himself when he wanted to. He's not some kid that gets hurt when he falls and scrapes his kneecap. He's smart and a damn good writer at that.

"Louis needs to take one for the team. He's a writer and we are just trying to get him out there." Simon crossed his arms and leaned back in his big black spinning chair. Paul let a huge huff out and shook his head stubbornly. He won't let Simon do this when he has a say so.

Louis just loves that they are talking about him when he's right here. He thinks it's lovely. Note sarcasm. But then he is an adult and can make decisions on his own without Paul always there to say no or yes for him. He's a grown man damnit and he can prove it.

Louis cleared his throat to stop the arguing men making them all look at Louis. Louis took a nervous breath in before gulping. "Let's do it."

Paul looked shocked and blinked a few times. Simon looked smug and smiled with a nod. He looked to Paul and smirked before sitting up higher in his chair to look more intimidating.

"Good. So we agree then?" Mr. Cowell hummed and Louis nodded not daring to look at Paul. He knows he might look angry and upset but Louis really thinks he's going the right thing. Paul can't control him his whole life. He needed to take some action.

"Great! Just need Paul and you to sign this contract and such then we can set up an appointment for tomorrow morning with who your going to be going on dates with. I already picked and want it to be a surprise. Well they more liked volunteered for you." Simon beamed happy that he won the argument.

He grabbed this sheet about four or five pages long and set it in front of Louis and Paul. Louis scooted up so he could read it and looked over to Paul because he didn't bring his glasses making him blush when he realized. Paul sighed giving Louis a look before looking down and taking the pen Simon set down beside the work.

"Are you sure Louis?" Paul asked with much hesitates. He really didn't want Louis to do this but if Louis wants to then he can't really stop him much know can he. It's not his life after all. He's just there to protect and take care of him when he needs him. But if Louis wants this then he can't really stop him.
