Louis and I rushed to the drawing room and they all smiled when we entered the room. Harry looked like he was smiling from what he was talking about with Liam and Sophia, but his smile noticeably fell a little when he saw Louis's hand on me. Nonetheless, he kept a fake smile.

"Thank you again for inviting me to dinner. You didn't have to, really." Harry said politely.

"Oh please, I should be thanking you for saving this gem." Louis said and smiled to me. I forced a smile, and Sophia and Liam stood their awkwardly smiling.

"So tell us what happened!" Sophia said. "Were you hurt?"

"Oh no, thank goodness Harry here came in time to prevent anything from happening." I said.

We all sat down on the couches as our maid poured and handed us glasses of the wine Harry brought.

"Some man was being rough with her in the back alley of the club. A mate of mine and I were walking when we heard her, and I rushed to help her." Harry finished for me.

Sophia gasped, and Liam looked to me with concern.

"Oh my God."

"Are you okay?! I mean, you never said anything! El!" Sophia said worried about an event that happened already.

"As you can see I'm perfectly fine." I smiled.

"She was just shaken up and crying a bit but I got there in time to hold her. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time to beat the crap out of the guy, but Harry here did." Louis said, sounding almost jealous that he wasn't the one.

"Why didn't you beat the crap out of him? I would've if anyone laid a hand on my Sophia." Liam said protectively making Sophia blush. I smiled.

"Why didn't you?" Louis asked Harry, and Harry looked to me.

He already knew the answer to that because he knows me so well. I don't like violence and worst of all, Harry could've gotten hurt too.

"Because it didn't feel right to do that in front of a lady, she shouldn't have to witness it." Harry answered genuinely, his eyes on me.

"Besides, Harry gave off a warning scary enough to scare any man off. Had me frightened a little." I said and looked down with a small smile.

"Well, I for one am glad to know that everyone's okay and not in danger." Liam said, and we al agreed.

"I don't know about that. My body guard had just passed away unfortunately. I think it's time I've found a new one, especially with our names in the headlines so often. My promotion, the wedding, the honeymoon, the club. I'm going to have to travel soon as well and I'd feel much better if I knew Eleanor here wasn't alone when she goes out." Louis said, making me look to him confused.

"Traveling? You never said anything about traveling?" I said questioningly, and Louis nodded his head.

"We want to open clubs all over the world. LA, Ibiza, New York, everywhere." He included.

Liam, Sophia, and Harry just sat there watching us exchange responses.

"And I won't be traveling with you?" I asked sounding almost sad, putting Louis on the spot. The whole room went silent.

Louis shrugged. "I mean, you can if you want. I just thought you'd want to stay home."

The table grew silent, and everyone awkwardly sipped their wine.

Did he not want me to go traveling with him? I mean, as a wife I should right? Why did it even matter to me?

"So what do you do for a living Harry?" Louis asked Harry, putting him on the spot and making him sit taller.
