The morning had came and all too quickly, I was wrapped in the silky soft sheets heavily into a dream about Kate Middleton and very little clothing when Harry stuck his head in my door. "Louis, it's time to get up. You have 15 minutes to get dressed, make your bed and be downstairs, this is your only warning."
"Why. Just why!" I yelled, pulling the sheets over my head. "I only needed two more minutes."
"Well you have 15, do whatever you want with them but be downstairs or you won't be getting a good breakfast." With that he shut my door and I groaned, I was nearly on top of her I could feel her body heat. I threw back the sheets and headed across the hall to get dressed, the stupid uniform hung on the back of my door and I grimaced as I felt the material. I think a wool coat would be more comfortable, but I pulled on the slacks and tucked in my white dress shirt. We had a choice of a navy blue dress coat or a grey sweater that had to be buttoned. I opted on the sweater and pulled the tie tightly around my neck, tucking in the end. I looked like something out of Harry Potter. I laughed, Harry's much like Harry potter in the sense he's weird and curious and did I mention weird?
I headed to the bathroom to do my hair, when I was satisfied I brushed my teeth and headed downstairs.
Harry had made oatmeal, he sat down two bowls at the table with toppings of bananas and brown sugar as well as tea in two red mugs.
"Did you make the bed?"
I frowned and set the tea back down, "No."
He wasn't looking at me, but I could tell he was mad. "That's a chore and chores are done before breakfast. Seeing as this is the first morning I'll let it slide today."
I rolled my eyes, "Wow, you sure cut me some slack...gee thanks." I shook my head and stood up, he cleared his throat.
"Don't get an attitude with me again. You are to follow the rules."
"Yeah, whatever." I headed upstairs and made the damn bed and went back downstairs to eat my now chilled breakfast.
~In the car~
I slid into the front seat and Harry pushed the ignition key, "Subs don't sit up front." I stared at him, he had to be fucking joking right? "Get in the back, now." He was not kidding and I shook my head, opening the door back up.
"Good to know Subs aren't equals, apparently we are just-"
"ENOUGH!" Harry yelled, I mean he actually made me flinch. I didn't know he had any emotions, let alone a loud enough voice to get my attention.
"I-"
"No, stop! I'm sick of your disobedience and it's not even 8 o'clock yet!"
"Okay."
"Do not say another word. You are already getting punished tonight and If you get into trouble at school because of your mouth it will intensify. You are in a whole new ball game out here and your mouth is disgusting!"
"I brushed this morning." I said, laughing. This was kind of fun, actually.
"You got it."
"Got what?" I never did get an answer but I knew that I had made him royally pissed off. I deserved a pat on the back for that one.
The door opened and Zayn said hello to Harry, they began chatting animatedly about the school year and how awesome it'll be for them both being doms this year. About 10 minutes into the ride Zayn made a comment about how nervous he was to 'release the subs into the school' which honestly made me mad. I must've scoffed out loud this time however because he twisted round in his seat and stared right into my eyes as Niall tensed next to me.
"You got something to say pup?" Zayn snarled.
"I'm not a dog, rodent." I snarled with a little more ferociousness.
I couldn't quite gauge how angry it'd made him because he turned around in his seat when he started yelling about how awful I was and how unlucky Harry was to have gotten me. But when he turned back in his seat I could see his anger, "You do not deserve to be anywhere near Harry. Keep your mouth shut and earn your keep."
Right, he was right. I didn't want to be anywhere near Harry, I didn't want to be here. "Got that right."
"What!"
"I said, you-" Zayn cut me off.
"No, I HEARD you. I can't believe you had the balls to actually repeat yourself."
"I'm not lacking in the balls department." I rolled my eyes and looked out the window as he shifted around in his seat with a expulsion of air and I chewed on my bottom lip. Was a bad habit, if it wasn't my lip it was my nails.
We pulled up to the school and before Harry could angrily slam the car into park Zayn was out the door with Niall hot on his heels.
I heard Harry sigh before getting out and I grabbed my bag and opened my door. He caught my bag as I walked away from him and I jerked it away from him. "What part of don't touch me do you not get."
Harrys eyes were a dark green, a look I assumed meant he was angry. "What the hell was that? You don't talk back to me, you don't talk back to Zayn and you don't disrespect anyone. You want to walk into the school with a chip on your shoulder and an attitude? Because it's sure to get you in trouble here and when you get home it'll double the punishment I choose for you."
I turned towards the school and began to walk towards it, Harry eventually caught up with me and he stopped me again without touching me. "That was disrespectful."
"Don't act surprised." I turned towards the office and saw him shaking his head in the corner of my eye. If I was stuck here I wanted a new dom, I'd be talking to the dean pronto.
~With the Dean ~
"Louis, I hear your concerns, I do. However our subs are matched with Doms based on several factors, including personalities. I assure you Harry is your best match, it's only the first day I think you need to give it a little more effort."
"I don't think you get anything, because I am nothing like that powder puff! He's got to be fucking bipolar, one minute he's a ray of sunshine and the next hes a a fucking fire breathing dragon!"
"With a mouth like yours that might explain why. I'm sorry, I won't be switching you with anyone. You need to get to class now." He dismissed me? No, no that's not how this should have gone. I needed an intervention, one that didn't leave me in rainbow land.
"Mr-"
"Louis." he leaned towards me and frowned, "You can afford to change a bit, that's why you are here. Harry has been through a lot too, he's come out on top and is better because of people who've taken the time to put effort into him. Given the chance, he could actually help you."
"I don't need help." I scoffed.
"Clearly that's the case." He said, "You need to go to class, Miranda at the front desk will give you a late slip. I suggest you go at this adventure with a different attitude or it's going to be a very rough one."
I couldn't believe my luck, you know how you feel like your day couldn't possibly get worse and then a bird shits on you? Yeah, that's my day.
~Back home~
Harry hasn't spoken to me since this morning and I was enjoying the quiet, we moved around each other in the kitchen preparing dinner and setting the table. Though halfway through dinner he cleared his throat and broke the silence.
"So the Dean told me you tried getting a new Dom today."
"What do you care?" I shoved a mouthful of lasagna in my mouth so I didn't have to talk anymore but that didn't stop him from setting his fork down.
"That's the thing Louis, I do. I do care. It actually hurt my feelings that you'd want out of here so quickly, I haven't even gotten to know you yet. Am I that bad?"
"Aww poor baby." I shook my head, I couldn't believe he was taking that angle.
I turned my head slightly to the right and widened my eyes, a look that said, 'have you met yourself'
"See yourself as too much of a challenge do you?" Harry asked, I had to look at him because I wasn't sure if he was joking or not.
"Hardly. I'm like the game you can't ever beat, I'm not going to change for you or anyone else I just think your too much of a cupcake. It annoys the fuck out of me."
He nodded and licked his lips. "Fair enough, muffin."
I didn't even bother responding, he was so weird I couldn't form a sentence right now. We finished out the dinner in silence and cleaned up in silence. I headed to the living room to watch some TV but Harry stood in front of the tv with his hands on his hips.
"I can't see through you." I plopped down on the couch and made myself comfortable.
"You aren't watching tv, head downstairs."
I met his glare with one of my own, so now he was trying to be intimidating? "How about NO."
Harry only nodded and yanked the cable right out of the wall and coiled it up nicely, walking out of the room with it. Now nobody would be watching TV, "DUDE! What the fuck is your problem."
He's come round the corner again and flipped the light on to the basement stairs. "The longer you wait to go downstairs the longer the punishment will be, the harder the lashes will be and if you don't want to bleed tonight I suggest you run."
The tone of his voice made me sweat but I was afraid to move, so I didn't.
"You think I'm joking, but you really shouldn't piss off the guy dishing out your punishments. Just a tip. Clocks ticking." He sounded eerily calm, leaning against the wall.
I didn't know if he could punish me if I just refused to go to the basement, but in case there was some type of loophole in that damn contract I refused to read I didn't want the man to kill me. I jumped up and walked towards him, without a word walking down the stairs.
Next Up: The punishment! Will Harry show Louis who's boss or will Louis stand up to him?
