ROOM MATES || h.s.

Chapter 22

(I DUNNO ABOUT U BUT THIS IS CHAPTER 22! I'm sorry I couldn't help myself😂)

London's POV

I stared at the ceiling for what felt like hours before the boys finally walked through the door,

"Hey London, what's up?" Louis asked before plopping down beside me

I stayed silent waiting for him to get the hint that I don't want to talk,

he looked at me with worried eyes before patting my shoulder softly and getting up and walking into the other room,

Harry locked eyes with me and he walked over and sat down in the spot Louis just moved from.

"what's wrong?" he asked

I hate how he can see right through me!

"nothing," I lie, smiling

"you're a terrible liar, London Grace."

"and you're a terrible boyfriend, so I guess we both win." I smile sarcastically and move to get up but a hand grips my wrist and pulls me back down,

"what are you talking about?"

"oh wait, I'm sorry, you can't be a terrible boyfriend I mean, you are single right?" I say snatching my wrist from his grasp

"London," he starts but I cut him off

"don't Harry, not today I'm not up for it."

"no baby please," he says and my heart beats faster in my chest,

I'm not used to Harry using pet names for me, it's either London or London Grace.

"Harry you sat there and said you were single, shot down any chance of people liking the fact were together, and said we were only friends, to make matters worse you say all of this the day, not even 24 hours after I agree to forgive you."

"London, please let me explain!"

I'm silent for a moment but then I nod my head as to say 'speak',

"Modest management say I need to stay single for a bit, with all of the trouble Zayn and Lou just stirred up they say I need to wait for things to die down before making our relationship known." Harry sighs

"what did Lou and Zayn do?"

"they somehow leaked a video of them smoking,"

"and? everyone knows Zayn smokes." I say

"no London, they were smoking weed."

I furrow my browns and open my mouth slightly,

"weed? as in, the illegal drug weed?"

"yes,"

"how the hell did they mange that!"

"don't ask me, we were in Peru"

"well that's fucking lovely." I sigh

"so?" Harry asks

"what,"

"am I forgiven or do I need to get on my knees and beg for forgiveness?" Harry asks

"as much as I'd love to see you beg, I forgive you." I sigh

Harry opens his arms and steps towards me engulfing me in a hug.

Harry is so comforting to hug.

when he hugs he uses his entire body,

he makes me feel so safe, secure,

likes he's my shield and nothing can hurt me,

it's honestly the best feeling in the world.

"I love you" Harry mumbled into my hair

"I love you too"

"I-" Harry began before our privacy was cut short

"Management want to see you two, the both of you." Niall said

I looked to Harry confused

"why would they want to see me?" I ask

"I dunno, but ya better go if management get mad they could send you home" Niall sighed walking away,

"Hello Harry, London, how are the both of you today?" a snooty looking young woman behind a desk asks us

"fine" I reply as Harry says nothing

after a moment of silence I speak

"may I ask why we're here?" I ask

"well London, your friends have caused a bunch of trouble this past week." she says and I instantly know she's speaking of Zayn and Lou,

"and why does that concern us?" harry asks

"well I know you two are together, and the news of you two dating now after the video and London you dated Ashton as well, that just wouldn't look good"

"how so?" I press

"well, one direction are already shit deep, and if news sparks that Harry is dating tour mates ex then not only will Harry be seen as more of a manwhore, but it will also make 5-es-oh-es look bad," she speaks dull

I furrow my brows and look at Harry who simply looks offended,

"and again, you need us here why? you already told us we had to be secret for a bit." Harry stated

"yes, and to keep things down to a low Zayn is throwing his fiancé a birthday party, Liam is going to prank the fans with a Instagram photo, Niall is going to do something's with his nephew, Louis is inviting you to his mothers wedding, Harry your taking Kendall Jenner to the wedding, and London you will go out on a spicy date with Ashton to draw attention from 1D." the woman speaks

"what!" Harry and I both yell in unison

"I am not taking that kardashion to Louis mums wedding and she is NOT going on a date with Ashton!" Harry yells

"yes you are and yes she is."

"no."

"if you don't agree we're sending London home and dropping 1D, if we drop you then you'll have to quit making music or we'll sue you. Your choice" she smiles

a tear brims my eye as Harry nods his head sadly in agreement,

"okay, the wedding is next week so we're sending Kendall over tomorrow, and Ashton is taking London to a beach bar where they will be photographed drinking and kissing, then Ashton will take you back to your hotel and be spotted leaving the next morning" she smiles at the both of us

I start to speak up but Harry squeezes my hand and looks at me to tell me to hush,

what have I gotten myself into..
