Untouchable; l.s

I clocked out of work, knowing I would be walking home, since my car had broken down. After calculating, it would take me two whole paychecks to get it fixed, so for two more weeks i'll be walking home. It wasn't dark just yet, but it also wasn't fully day, the sky had a purple and pink hint to it. I was texting a friend letting them know that I was on my way home, as I was typing I all of a sudden heard a car honking, I quickly looked up see a little boy crossing the street and a car quickly coming towards him. I dropped my phone not even thinking and ran into the street quickly grabbing the little boy and bringing him to the safety of the sidewalk, "You okay, lad?" I ask, lowering my self so I could see his face. All that was earned from the little boy was a giggle and "I almost died, but you saved me!" He said, and he hugged me. I smiled softly, "Lemme walk you home, so you don't get into any more trouble, stay here so I can grab my phone." I told the boy, I looked both ways and quickly crossed the street seeing my now shattered phone laying on the edge of the street. "Well fuck." I said quietly. I crossed the street again and made my way to the boys house. Once we arrived I walked the boy to the door, "Please come in! I'll make you a cup of tea." He said to me, "Daddy taught me how to make his tea just perfectly." He said quietly with a innocent smirk. I wanted to come in more for the reason I wanted to talk to his father and let him know that he could have died tonight and that maybe he should keep a better eye on his son. I followed the boy into the house, from the outside it was huge, but just seeing a glimpse of the inside... woah. "Where's your father?" I asked, "He'll be home soon, he's at a meeting." He told me as he grabbed my arm pulling me into their living room. I nodded to what the boy told me. I took sanctuary on one of the couches, "So, what's your name?" I asked, sitting awkwardly. "Freddie!" He yelped as he took off his shoes, neatly placing them against the wall. "Nice to meet you Freddie, i'm Harry." I replied, he smiled in my direction before quickly running into what I guess the kitchen. I stood up and started to look around, but before I could make it far he had already popped back up with a hot cup of tea. "That was so... fast, how?" I asked surprised, "I know my ways." the little boy said ever so quietly, "I'm gonna watch tv!" He exclaimed and then ran back into the living room. I continued to walk around the house with the cup of tea, taking sips out of the hot cup. As I made my way into the many hallways I heard a door open and then "Freddie, how many times do I have to tell you, when the driver is there to pick you up.. you go— oh, whose this?" The smaller man asked, I placed the cup on a table and walked up to him, "Hello Sir, i'm Harry. Your son almost got hit by a car and—." I tried to finish my statement, but Freddie decided to interrupt, "He saved me! I almost died, dada!" he yelled before hugging the mans leg. I held out my hand, "I'm Harry." I said smiling, "Amazing to meet you Harry, I'm Louis." He replied as he shook my hand, his hand was soft and delicate. I smiled, getting my self ready to go, "Stay for dinner." He quickly said, "Oh, I can't.." I said quietly, "I insist." His voice almost demanding, something so hard to say no to. I let out a slight smile and agreed.

I sat at a large table with Freddie and Louis. Louis sat in-front of me, and Freddie right beside me. "I'm so thankful that you happened to be there at that moment." He louis said as he took a bite of the dinner prepared by a chef. "What caused this to happen?" He asked, "I had just gotten off of work, and luckily for Freddie, but unlucky for me... my car has been broken and I had to walk home." I said with a chuckle. "A shame, I'm guessing the job doesn't pay well enough to get it fixed right away?" He asked, I was taken back by his question, slightly disrespected. "I uh... no... no it doesn't." I said as I looked at my food, "Such a shame, Harry would you like to quit that job, and come be a babysitter for my son, we could get you a new car, you drive him to school, pick him up, take him places etcetera." He said, before ever so gently drinking out of a wine glass. "I uh.. y-yeah I would love that." I said, once again taken back by his statement. "We have an empty room next to my room!" Freddie excitedly yelled. "it's the least I could do, you saved my son." Louis said with a smirk. I looked down at my plate and smiled, "I should head home, and get everything ready." I said as I slowly stood up. "What's your phone number? I'll text you to keep tabs!" He said, I chuckled nervously, "My phone was shattered while running into the street, let me get your number, i'll text you from a friends phone." I said slightly embarrassed. I stood in-front of a man, who had so much wealth, yet I had no phone or car to my name. Louis nodded, before finding a sticky note and wrote his number down. "Text me when you're ready, i'll have someone drive you home." He said, already whipping his phone out, texting the driver.. i'm assuming. "Thank you Mr...." I replied, "Tomlinson." He said as he looked up from his phone with a smile. "Thank you, Mr Tomlinson." I replied finally knowing his last name, "No thank you." He said, it was a awkward pause before he let me know the driver was out front. I said my goodbye to Freddie and left the house, now alone in the back of the car, I could finally let my real emotions out, "Holy fuck, what just happened?" I asked my self, first a new job, car... what else. We had finally arrived at my apartment, I thanked the driver "I will be seeing you again soon." is all the driver replied, mysterious. I grabbed my keys out of my pocket and made my way up the stairs. I opened the door to see Niall and Liam, my two best friends looking worried. "... hi!" I said awkwardly, "What the fuck Harry? You were on your way home two hours ago!" Niall yelled, "Haha, story-time!" I said, making my way to the couch.
