I laid on my side, my slow tears soaking up a spot on my pillow. I still couldn't get over the feeling of Harry's hands on me, me snapping at Sophia, Louis being nice to me, and the fact that my ex and my husband are downstairs together. It was just a whirlwind of emotions and I just wanted to cry.

Soon after, I heard a soft knock on the door and Louis walked in. I turned, saw him, and went back on my side.

"What the hell happened?" He asked.

I sniffled, not meeting his eyes. "You can drop the nice act. No ones around anymore."

Louis walked to my side of the bed and knelt down next to me. "Is there anything I can get you?"

My eyes finally met his. Did he not hear me? Does he not realize no ones around so we don't have to pretend anymore? Why was he caring all of a sudden?

I propped myself up, "How could you ask Harry to be a bodyguard for us? You don't even know him?"

He looked confused by that question but answered anyways, "I saw how you were with him and he seems like a good fit for the job."

"You didn't even talk to me about!" I said quite peeved.

He gave a humorless chuckle. "When have I involved you in anything business related?"

"But this is the guy that's going to be following us around, why didn't I get a say in it?" I asked him.

Louis gave a small smile. "I wasn't aware you wanted a say in it."

"Well I do." I said like a whining child which only made Louis chuckle.

"Okay then, do you not want Harry? We can look at more people, and decide together." Louis suggested.

I sighed, and shook my head. "...no Harry's fine."

"All that whining just to say you're okay with Harry?" Louis asked and laughed. I smiled.

"Did Sophia day anything before she left?" I asked nervously.

Louis stood up and began to take his tie off and get into comfortable clothes in the bathroom.

"No, she only said she didn't feel well just like you did. Did something happen between you?" He asked from the bathroom.

"No..."

"So this Harry, is this the famous ex boyfriend?" Louis asked, making my cheeks heat up.

"What?" I said my voice extremely high. "No, why would you even say that? I mean what husband in their right mind would hire their wife's ex—"

"Relax." Louis cut me off laughing, and came out of the bathroom in gray sweats, and a hoodie. "Sophia told me a little about him and said he left town after you two had split."

I took in that information. She lied for me..

"That and there's a ton of Harry's in London." He said with a chuckle as he began to slip on some Adidas.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'll be out with a friend. Don't wait up for me." He said.

I looked at the clock seeing it was already late. "Where you going?"

"Awww look at you acting like a wife." He said with a grin. I rolled my eyes. Why did I care where he was going anyways.

"Whatever.."

"Do you need anything before I leave?" He asked looking back at me from the door.

"No I suppose not."

He nodded his head and left the room. "Feel better!" I heard him about from the hallway. I rolled my eyes.

L O U I S

"It's just weird. I saw them together and the way he held her, and she looked so comfortable with it. And trust me I know her and she would not be comfortable with a random stranger holding her. Although she was scared.. but still. And when I heard his name was the same as her old lovers I started to make assumptions. But her best friend said that he had left town after they parted ways, and apparently he's in the U.S. now. So there's that." I rambled on staring at the ceiling.

"Are you done now?"

I looked down the mop of brown hair laying on my bare chest.

"What?" I asked confused.

She sighed and stood up from the bed walking to the dresser naked.

"You've done nothing but talk about your wife since you got here." Danielle said annoyed as she reached for a robe and covered herself with it.

"Oh..." I trailed. Had I really?

Danielle came back to the bed and smiled as she laid next to me. "I missed you so much."

I smiled and kissed her hair. "I missed you."

"I wish I had said yes to your proposal."

"I do too."

"So why did you marry her? Obviously wasn't love otherwise you would be naked in bed with her and not me." She said cheekily, and kissed my cheek.

I gulped. Because how was I going to explain that.

"It's hard to explain. I should give her a call really quick, she wasn't feeling well when I left." I said feeling a little worried.

But when I sat up to reach for my phone Danielle whined and stopped me. "No, why. Let's just stay in our little bubble a little longer before you have to go back to her."

I looked into her eyes and her small pout and couldn't help but cave in. She smiled and kissed me, gently biting on my lip slightly turning me on.

I felt bad for leaving Eleanor in her state but when Danielle called me and said she was feeling lonely I just had to go.

"Promise me something." Danielle said.

"What."

"That you won't have sex with her." She said sounding sad. I gave her an amused look.

"What?"

"I don't even want you kissing her, but that's obviously a little unreasonable." She said and rolled her eyes. "But don't have sex with her. Only me."

"Dani, how am I not going to sleep with my wife?" I asked her. Not that Eleanor and I have sex anyways, but never have sex with my wife sounds crazy.

I'll admit, I've thought about it. And when I saw her swimming in that little biking back in Ibiza my eyes just had to take in her tanned body, so revealing and her curves. My imagination went a little wild—

"Louis." Dani called me. "Hello are you listening to me?"

I shook my head, trying to get the image of Eleanor in her bikini out of my mind. "If I don't, she'll think something's up."

Danielle rolled her eyes. "So divorce her and marry me instead."

I chuckled. "If only it were that easy."

"Well what am I supposed to do? Just sit here knowing you're having sex with the both of us? No!" She said angrily and went away from me. I huffed.

"What if I only did it once a week? Or did it less?" I offered her.

"I guess. But you also have to promise me that you'll be thinking and pretending it's me when you do." She said happy again.

"Of course." I said, and she smiled kissing me again.

I was in a light sleep but I felt the blankets being pulled a little and felt someone lay on the bed next to me. I was half asleep but I knew it had to have been Louis finally coming home and to bed. I peeled an eye open to check the clock on my beds side and it read 3:47 in the morning.

He's never stayed out this late. Where did he even go?

Nonetheless I pushed those thoughts aside and fell back asleep.
