Suit & Tie (Harry Styles au) [REPOSTED]

Chapter 10 - Misleading mornings & assertive texts

He shut his laptop and glanced over at me. "I have work today."

"Yeah, I should go home soon anyways."

"No," He scowled, fixing his red tie as he spoke. "I meant I will take you home after we eat, and I will pick you up later tonight when I am done."

"Tonight?"

"Yes."

"I kind of already have plans for tonight," I mumbled. His gaze hardened and he leaned in, resting his elbows on the table. He scooter his chair closer before he spoke, curls dangling carelessly over his forehead.

"Cancel them," He said lowly.

"N-no. I already promised Jace."

Something metal clattered to the ground. My head shot up to see Miss Jennifer scrambling around for a fork on the floor, a look of pure shock on her face. Harry's gaze never left me, staring at me with his jaw clenched in anger.

I felt his smooth hand slide onto my knee under the table. "Norah, I would like for you to cancel your plans. I won't ask you again," He warner.

"I won't tell you again," I shot back. "I'm already going out with Jace."

He squeezed my knee tightly before scooting back in his chair and standing up. His tall frame towered over me, sharp black suit making him look more intimidating than usual. I watched in silence as he picked up his laptop and grabbed a briefcase angrily.

Miss Jennifer looked nervous from where she stood over the store. "Harry, don't you want your omelette?" She asked quietly as he hurried around the kitchen counter, setting his mug in the sink to be washed later.

"Don't," He spat, leaning down to give his housekeeper a peck on the cheek. He turned back to me in anger and I flinched, holding on to my tea for comfort.

"I will be at your house at seven to pick you up," He scowled, stalking over to me. I froze as he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine passionately. Miss Jennifer looked just as surprised as I was.

"I told you-"

"I will be there at seven," He hissed in my ear, coconut scented curls tickling my cheek. I bit my lip and didn't say anything back.

He pulled away with a smirk and trailed his fingers lightly across my neck. "Do not cover it," He whispered, indicating to the love bite. I was still trying to recover from the unexpected kiss as he walked away, slamming to door angrily behind him.

As soon as he was gone, Jennifer set a steaming omelette in front of me, along with another cup of tea, and plopped down in the seat Harry had left. I slowly bit into my food and tried to avoid her curious glances.

"So Harry likes you," She mused.

I swallowed my food to keep me from choking. "Really? Doesn't seem like that," I muttered, stabbing the eggs angrily.

"I've never seen someone say not to him."

"Well, more people should," I answered bitterly. "He's very controlling. You don't seem scared of him, though."

"Because Harry is a very sweet man, deep down. And if they want to live, I doubt they will say no," She teased, standing up from the table with a laugh and riding the apron around her large frame. "I was told that Mark would be here in about thirty minutes to take you home."

With that, she walked out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with my thoughts for a few minutes. I sighed in content and pulled out my phone, planning on scrolling through twitter as I ate. I almost dropped my phone in shock when I saw the 19 missed calls from Jace. I quickly dialled his number, and he answered on the first ring.
