>> hard to think if you're all that's on my mind <<

[HARRY]

I slammed the front door behind me as I began walking down the front stairs towards the car. I had called Niall earlier and asked him to drive me to work this morning instead of driving myself. There was too much going on in my mind, driving was the last thing I wanted to do.

I quickly climbed into the back seat as Niall greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning Mr. Styles."

"Morning." I said simply.

He started up the car and drove out onto the street. I leaned my head against the window and closed my eyes hoping to relax myself a bit. I let out a breath when it didn't work and I still felt stressed. Fucks sake.

About fifteen minutes later we finally arrived at the office and I wasn't sure if I was relieved to be back or annoyed that I had to deal with all the company problems.

I stepped out of the car quickly as Niall drove away and I headed for the front doors of the five floor building. I was greeted at the front by two large security guards. I noticed as they stiffened but tried to keep a cool manner. I smirked slightly at their reactions of my presence.

Making my way through the doors I was engulfed in the brightest environment I'd ever been. The inside of the building was completely white with lights and modern furniture. Not my choice, my father's.

I walked straight to the elevator and coldly smiled at anyone who greeted me with a "Good Morning." The women working behind the desks all turned in my direction and were trying way too hard to impress. My smirk widen, causing them to giggle.

The elevator finally opened and I stepped in, grateful that I was alone as the doors finally closed shut. "Whores." I mumbled to myself.

*Buzz buzz*

Louis : Where are you mate?

I rolled my eyes at Louis' impatient ass. I opened my office door to find Louis already sitting across from my desk. I raised my brow at him and made my way behind my desk. He stayed in the same position, lazily laying back on the seat with his hands folded over his stomach.

"Well?" I asked annoyed.

"Thanks for the text back mate. Ya could've called."

I scoffed. "You want to tell me wants going on or not?"

He rolled his eyes and sat up in his seat with a mix of serious and stress plastered on his face.

"You have another meeting with some new designers at 1 p.m. , at 2 p.m. you have to be upstairs to "interview" the models..." He put air quotations around "interview" and I wanted nothing more than to slap the smirk that he was trying to hold back.

"Models?" I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes as I was already getting a mild headache.

"Yea, we need new models for the new campaign and we all know how picky you can be." He winked as I clenched my fists under my desk.

He looked back down at the agenda on his phone. "...And then after that it's just all meetings."

He started mumbling on about who knows what as I put my elbows on top of the desk and rested my head on my hands. I didn't realize I was staring at the wall until Louis started clapping his hands, trying to get my attention.

I looked up at him with knitted eyebrows. He looked back down at me, as he was now standing up, with a confused look.

"What's bothering you now?"

I parted my lips but I wasn't sure what to say. I've never been the one to spill out my feelings or thoughts, but Louis has been my best friend for years. I trusted him with my life and still I was afraid to tell him about Angel.

"I..." I cleared my throat before continuing.

"Well... I have a guest at home." I decided to say instead.

He narrowed his eyes at me, obviously not believing a word I just said. We both stayed like that for a couple seconds until realization hit him and his eyes widen.

"You fucked a girl, one of the models?" He came on blunt.

My face turned to one of almost disgust.

"No, shit Louis, I didn't fuck a girl." I threw my hands into the air, furthering my point.

He pressed his lips into a thin line before finally speaking.

"Please don't tell me you kidnapped someone." He let it all out in one breath.

I looked away and nodded my head as a I heard him sigh and around the room.

"Spill." His voice was demanding and usually I would've snapped but I respected Louis. I went on and on telling Louis the entire story about kidnapping Angel. He took it in some what casually but that didn't change the fact that he was still disappointed in me for doing so.

"How much do you know about her?" he spoke up.

A blank expression took over my face as I realized that I really didn't know anything about her. Do I want to get to know her? It would probably be best for me to keep a distance from her, including not knowing much about her life.

Louis already knew the answer and didn't give me the chance to shake my head.

"Christ, Harry." he said underneath his breath.

He turned his head around to look at the clock. It read : 12:58 a.m.

"You have a meeting to get to." He walked towards the door as I stood up from my seat. We both made our way down the hall in silence. I walked up to the door where the meeting was being held but before I could open the door Louis stopped me.

"That conversation isn't over." He threw me a warning look before opening the door himself. I ran my hand threw my messy, long hair before entering behind him.
