Zayn

Today we were finally meeting Lou's girlfriend and I was so excited for it. After everything I heard and especially how highly Safaa talked of her last time, I was so eager.

"I'm feeling so nervous what's wrong with me?" I said, looking at myself in my mirror while getting ready.

Once I was done I got out of the bathroom and went into Safaa's room, frowning when I didn't see her.

"Safaa?" I called out, walking down the stairs.

"I'm here!" She answered from the living room, I rolled my eyes at the oh so precise answer, thanks God I could tell where she was from the intensity of her voice.

I walked into the living room only to see her getting her hair braided by Louis. I leaned against the doorframe, smiling fondly at the figures.

"Hey Lou!" I finally said, sitting down next to them.

"Hey Zee ready yet?" He asked, smiling at me before focusing on Safaa again.

"Yes as ready as one can be." I sighed, rubbing my hands on my thighs. Why was I so nervous?? "When did you get here." I added, remembering he wasn't there before I went to take my shower.

"Not long like 15-20minutes ago? Yeah something like that. Is Harry not here?" He frowned at me.

"No I was about to go ring at his." I replied getting back up. He nodded and I waved, going to Harry's house, literally a minute away from here.

I rung the bell and waited for him to open the door but was greeted by a brunette that weirdly enough looked like him.

"Um hi?" I greeted awkwardly. She squinted her eyes at me before smiling widely as her eyes lit up.

"You must be the infamous Zayn?!" She exclaimed.

"Uh yeah that is me indeed...nice to me you..?" I trailed awkwardly.

"I'm Gemma. Harry talked so much about you, you're even prettier than what I imagined! And you're smoking hot but you're also so cute too!" She cooed, pinching my cheeks, making me blush. Harry talks about me?!

"Well thank you Gemma." I said, feeling my cheeks burn up even more.

"Sorry I forgot to say that I am his sister! Gemma Anne Styles, the better Styles. If you ever get tired of him because he's really annoying let's be honest. I'll be there!" She winked at me and by now I was pretty sure that I looked like a tomato.

"Who was at the door Gem?" Harry called out causing her to clear her throat.

"It's Zayn!" She replied. I heard a gasp then he ran over to the door, almost falling down on Gemma. I giggled at his usual clumsiness.

"Erm hey Z, this is Gemma, my big sister and Gem this is Zayn, my boyfriend."

"Don't worry baby bro I introduced myself alright." She winked at me once again, causing Harry to pull her away from the door, pushing her behind him.

"Sorry for her she's a little deranged." He said through gritted teeth, glaring at her. "We can go baby." He said softly, looking back at me. I nodded and he took ahold of my hand before closing the door on Gemma's face, snickering when she groaned in pain.

"She's funny and really flirty just like you." I chuckled, "I guess it's in the genes." I snorted, listening to him groan.

"She's not funny I hate her she's so embarrassing. I bet she told you something embarrassing about me." He sighed, I bit my bottom lip before nodding my head no.

"What took you so long anyways?" I asked, referring to the fact that he was supposed to be the one greeting me at his door.

"I was taking care about some...business thing." He shrugged. I frowned.

"At the bakery? What happened??" He scratched the back of his neck making my frown deepen.

"No something else we'll talk about that when we'll back back yeah?" I narrowed my eyes at him urging him to say more but he just averted his gaze, opening the door to our house.

"Okay." I finally said, releasing a dramatic sigh.

"Harry!" Exclaimed Safaa, jumping in his arms.

"Hey baby! How is my little princess?" He cooed after catching her and kissing her cheek.

"Good! Look at my hair! Lou did it it's so pretty!" She squealed, showing the braids.

"Yes it is stunning, Lou did a great job." He agreed, putting her back down. Louis came towards us and rolled his eyes. "Hey Lo-"

"You're late. Let's go." He spat, taking mine and Safaa's hand and walking us to his car.

"Let me at least have my boyfriend?!" He called out when Louis unlocked his car. He sighed before letting go of my hand and pushing me towards Harry, my body falling at the force but Harry catches me, holding me close to his muscular chest.

"You crazy?!" I exclaimed, looking at Louis who was laughing hysterically.

"I'm sorry I didn't think it would be that hard." He chuckled one last time before blowing me a kiss then getting into his car with Safaa.

Harry and I did the same, following after Lou'd car. I just kept silent, irritated about the fact that he didn't tell me what I wanted to know.

The meeting with Eleanor went great and they also announced us that they were going to start living together next week so we will go over to help move in with Lou.

Harry and I just got done showering after putting Safaa to bed. I decided to stay in some shorts as it was feeling really hot tonight and turned to Harry seeing him already looking at me.

"Sit down baby I need to tell you something." I frowned. It looked serious.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Well Is not going to beat around the bush and go straight to the point. I'm a billionaire." My jaw hung low as I looked at him in shock.

"Wha-" I started but he put his finger against my lips.

"Please let me explain everything before you say anything." He said making me nod. He pulled away his finger before pecking my lips.

"My grandpa was a gang leader." He sighed. "It was a huge thing, really powerful, he made millions and was able to look after his family. My dad was supposed to take the lead after him but he didn't want to be involved in dirty business, so he started working and invested all that blood money to turn it into a legal business. Styles. Inc." He looked down.

"He passed 2years ago and since then I've been the CEO but lately it just became too overwhelming living the posh life, I grew up in money and it became annoying to act like someone that wasn't me. So I left everything and came here and started working at the bakery. Since then everything felt right I genuinely was happy with my life and with the 3 of you. But as you saw, Gemma came to visit me, telling me that I need to take my post back otherwise I'm going to fuck everything up. In other words, the company's faith is in my hands." I looked at him not knowing what to say.

"Please baby say something." He choked out, his eyes watering up.

"I-I" I stuttered still not finding anything to reply.

"Are you mad at me?" He asked as the tears in his eyes menaced to fall.

"What? N-no. I mean sure because you didn't tell me the truth before but I mean you don't just say that to anyone so no I'm not mad at you Harry. This lifestyle was handed to you, you're not responsible." He sighed contently, squeezing me in his big arms.

"I love you so much!" He exclaimed, kissing my shoulder before he stilled. I tensed up aswell, my eyes widened. "Erm sorry." He said awkwardly, pulling back from the hug.

"Harry." I took ahold of his chin, making him look me in the eyes. "I love you too." I whispered softly before pecking his lips. We kept talking for a little while before falling asleep.

Well some of you guessed it already, Harry is rich rich!
