*This chapter is dedicated to @Just_Lirry for making me this lovely cover for this story! I absolutely love it, and I hope all of you do too! I forgot to dedicate the last chapter for her, so I just decided to do it now! YAY! :) *

"Uh... Liam?"

When he didn't get a response after Liam had practically ran out of the room, Harry sighs and leans his head back against the wall. He's so confused about the way Liam acted, kissing his cheek like that, then just running away without another word.

I mean, what did that mean? Like, was it just an 'in the moment' type of kiss? Did he actually mean to kiss my lips, but went for my cheek instead?...

Oh, who am I kidding? Liam wouldn’t ever actually be interested in me. He just wants the money he asked from my company.. There’s no way he actually meant that kiss to mean anything. And it was just on my cheek, which really wasn’t that close to my lips anyway. Even though I totally wish it was.

… What would his lips have felt like if he actually kissed me?

“Oi! Styles, watcha daydreaming about?” Niall calls out as he and the other lads besides Liam come back into the room.

“Nothing. I’m just tired,” Harry mumbles in response, turning his head away from them.

“I highly doubt ‘nothing’ is the true answer. I bet it had something to do with what you and Liam were talking about,” Louis chides. “So, Curly, wanna tell us what you and Payno were talking about? Must’ve been important if he had to kick me  out of the room just to order all of us some lunch with these lads. That’s nothing they couldn’t have handled on their own.”

Zayn pats Louis’ shoulder and holds on to it, giving it a pretty tight squeeze as a warning. “Lou, back off, yeah? It was private between them.”

“They shouldn’t have even had anything ‘private’ between them!” Louis snaps.

“It’s because you fell for Liam, right?” Harry states without much thought, regretting it as soon as it left his mouth. But he can’t take it back now. He just has to deal with the consequences.

“What? ” the blue-eyed lad demands with a soft, yet threatening voice that has Harry shuddering.

“I – I mean, I don’t blame you. For, you know, feeling that way about him. He’s not – He’s very attractive, to be honest. And maybe, um, he might feel the same way about you? Like, you’re pretty attractive too, you know? It would be a waste if he didn’t – “

Without being able to finish what he was yapping nervously about, Louis grabs Harry’s shoulders and suddenly pulls him up to stand on his feet. The curly-haired lad gets his breath knocked out of him when Louis puts a hand on his neck and slams him back against the wall. Harry feels dizzy and suffocated from the lack of air reaching his lungs at Louis’ tight grip on his neck, so he tries to pull the older lad’s hands off him to breathe properly. Of course he doesn’t succeed with how strong Louis actually is to his surprise.

“Who the hell  do you think you are, talking about how I feel about Liam like you know  me?! You don’t know s*** about me! And you don’t know anything about Liam, so just forget about him ever feeling something back for you !”

“Louis, stop! Let him go!” Niall cries out, trying to help Zayn pull Louis off of Harry.

“Come on, Lou. Just calm down and let go of him,” the black-haired lad says as calmly as he can, getting worried about the way Harry looking like he’s about to pass out. This definitely isn’t good if Liam finds out about Louis doing this to the green-eyed lad.
