Gold Rush

Chapter 15

Harry's POV

"Already awake?" Halley asks cheekily.

I look for my watch, it's already three in the afternoon.

She only wears my last night tshirt and her panties. What a nice view to begin the day with.

"Yeah, you snored all night I could not close my eyes."

"Oh sure! It's maybe the Vodka YOU drank last night that made ME snore." she says, leaning on top of me, the sheets between us.

"You deserve a punishment for talking like this, woman, but Louis is probably on his way home and I don't think we have time for this kind of entertainment..."

The slamming front door goes with my words.

"Styles, don't tell me you're still naked in my bed?!" my best friend's voice resonates.

"Oops..." Halley giggles, kissing my nose before disappearing into the bathroom.

"How was your night, man?" I question Louis, still half naked, only my jeans on.

"Not as fun as yours I imagine." he said removing food from several paper bags.

He has turned into a sort of over-protective mum, washing, and cooking all day, since his break-up with Eleanor.

"It might be right yeah. Why didn't you stay with us?"

"I was tired."

"Oh yes, sleeping on your sister's couch instead of drinking with us had to be so much more exciting!"

"It was, I finished my book, and guess what? Nobody ended sick on the street or half naked on top of a car."

"It was a van, and two weeks ago. Okay, may be one."

"Anyway, when is your girlfriend leaving?"

"She's not..." I lower my voice ", you know, we're not in a ... you see, we're not settled." Louis was looking at me, his "the more you talk, the deeper you dig" face on. "It's not exactly as if we were truly together..."

"Who aren't together?" Halley asks just leaving the bedroom,  her hair wet.

"Nobody." I reply in a rush.

"Harry and his courage. He left it thousand years ago at the bottom of the Hill of Bravery and never recovered!"

"Funny Louis. Really."

"Okay... I have to go, my train is in one hour.  Harry I'm assuming you're not going with me at the train station?"

"Nah, Louis needs me."

"How usefull Louis is sometimes!" She smiles, kisses me a little bit too long and leaves, finally.

"Thanks Jesus, one more day and I think that I'd drive her my self back where she belongs." Louis declares.

"I know mate. But she's nice."

"And hot."

"And hot." I confirm. "I need I shower."

"Don't give me the details please."

"Never, it would be too much for the pussy that you became."

"Shut up! And be ready for our special meal!"

"What special meal?"

"We're celebrating your ten months of moving here today."

"Oh." It's the only thing I can utter.

Ten fucking months. I stopped counting long ago, it was too hard.

Hannah's POV

"I don't get it. He's hot, smart, tall and he has a big..."

"Becky!!" Ellen and I say in a same voice.

"Car! Ellen, have you seen his car??"

We laugh. Another sunny sunday afternoon, drinking tea in Ellen's garden. She has issues with deciding if her new life as a  single woman worthed to be disturb by her co-worker David.

"I know, he's charming and all but, I'm not really into a romantic kind of need right now. I just want to have fun without thinking about hurting somebody or not."

"Then, have fun honney. We only live once!" I declare. 

"Talking about single person and all, how's Louis?" Ellen asks.

"He's good. At least that's what he told me last time I called him. May be I should give him a ring tonight."

"She dumped him after seven months, it might be hard."

"Yeah but it's life. nothing's forever."

"True. And about his... Roomate?"

My favourite subject. "Good, too. I think. I hope. I don't care." The words escape my mouths, out of control. I know what they are thinking, the topic is still awkward. It's not, really. I just prefer talking about menstruations than him. That's all.

We sip our tea in silence.

"So, his car. How really big you think it is?" Becky enventually asks.

"Well Louis, I have to admit that your depression has good sides. This is delicious!" I bite into another piece of chicken.

"Thanks lad. But I'm not depressed."

"Whatever floats you boat."

"Don't use expressions you do not even understand Harry, you make me sad." 

His phone rings and doesn't leave me the time to hit back. His eyes widden and he said "It's my mum, I'll be right back."

"Ok. No problem bro." But I know that his mother is on a trip in the US and overall I know him by heart, the only person he refuses to talk to in front of me is Hannah. And it kills me.
