Enjoy

********************

I felt the warmth of sunlight pouring through the curtains on my face making my sleep tickle slowly. I was somehow very refreshed because I slept so peacefully last night that I did not even wake up in the middle of night again as per my daily habit to check the surroundings. My Beasty always made me feel protected and yesterday cuddling with him made me sleep like a baby in a long while. It gave me a sense of comfort to know that he was with me and he won't let anything harm me. He was emitting protectiveness and possessiveness up to some extent. I stretched my body which was half covered with covers while the other half was bare exposed to the sunlight making it a little warmer. I fisted my hands in the sheets and turned to the other side and smelled the pillow and sheets over there and immediately my nostrils were filled with the familiar scent of my Beasty and by sniffing it again heavily I felt as if I have smelled that scent somewhere else too but I let that bit ignore as it was such a beautiful morning.

Just as good I was feeling as fast all the events of previous day came rushing to me and my mood immediately dampened. All the events like moment with Harry, Aiden, wedding, mysterious park, Joshua, nightmare and my precious Beasty. All in one day just drained me out completely and made me almost forget that I have to go office today and face Harry.

I suddenly regretted waking up and my wonderful morning turned to gloomy morning. How I will face Harry without breaking down or concealing hurt and betrayal and longing in my eyes ? How will I be able to function properly knowing Harry is just next door totally unaffected?  I was really hoping even expecting to see a bit of remorse or hurt in his expression when Papa announced my wedding but he just stood there as a stone idol doing nothing.

I dragged myself to sit in the cocoon of covers and stretched again this time moaning. I saw that I had slept through the alarm but it still wasn't late so I had enough time to get ready. I really wanted to avoid talking to anyone from family except my siblings. I don't know if Mommy and Papa told them about my wedding or not and if yes, then how did they react ? Knowing Lottie and Fizzy they will be definitely upset and rest will won't be even knowing properly what happened.

I made my way to the washroom to use loo and brush my teeth. I finished my routine and returned to room and stopped dead in my tracks seeing the last person I expected to see standing in the doorway with stoic expression on his face.

Harry Styles in all his beautiful glory !

Before I can stop myself, I marched stomping my bunny slipper covered feet towards his frozen state and hissed out because let's be clear...he always just appear out of nowhere.

" Why do you always barge in ? We have doors to knock if you don't know"

He just stood there without uttering a word staring at me intently. If he thinks he can intimidate me, then....he is right BUT I won't let him know that. He cannot always have upper hand.

" I am talking to you Harry. You do not just welcome yourself inside someone's bedroom. Where are your manners ?"

I scolded him as if he was a petulant child but dare the universe if his expression changed a bit. No such progress. I stood there studying his face with one of my hands on my juted out hip and the other hanging limp on the side with my eyebrows raised and annoyance and anger pouring out of my eyes. I am still not over his doings of yesterday plus I wasn't even prepared to face him this soon and yet he is standing in my bedroom giving me his LOOK. Who does he think he is ? Some Prince ? Huh ! As if...

I know I am using my copying mechanism right now. It has always been my way to act like I am annoyed and dislike something if that thing happened to be harmful or out of my reach. I know Harry will never be mine and that is why I will now try to dislike every single thing about him, which is easy...i guess, and just suppress my feelings under the pressure of annoyance and ignorance

" I AM TALKING TO YOU"  I shouted at his face with frustration. He is still not responding and just watching me intently with his big round green eyes which are shaking the walls I have built around my heart and mind. I noticed that his eyes were roaming on me from head to toe and I think his eyes darkened a bit too but that must be some trick of light and reflection.

"FINE...don't speak but I have better things to do. So if you don't mind, then please Your Highness will you let me take shower in peace because I have a brooding boss waiting for me in the office."

" You think...I am brooding ?"

"Wow...he speaks" I mocked surprise by covering my mouth with both of my hands and eyes wide open. His lips twitched a bit and I thought he will laugh or at least smile but his expression returned to frown.

" I am here to pick you up for office"

" Why? I am capable to travel alone with -"

"Uncle Mark asked me to drop by for some uh work and so I will give you lift as I am heading to office too. Don't think I am your chauffeur, Princess Louis" 

And wow...when he speaks he leaves me speechless. I was already blushing by the end because he called me Princess...I was sure my cheeks were burning from embarrassment and of course Papa called him that's why he is here but some voice whispered in the back of my mind that maybe he was here to see me. I immediately shunned that voice.

" uh So what ? You cannot just enter my private room like that without knocking. Say, what if I was  not dressed properly or sleeping or jumping on the bed. That's very inapproriate of you"

I really want to punch him because he was just standing there trying to hide the amusement and smirk on his smug face. He raised his perfect eyebrow at me when I was talking about not dressed properly. I don't understand what it is....

"OH SHIT ! CLOSE YOUR EYES"

I ran inside the washroom at the lightening speed almost tripping twice on the way and slammed the door closed with a loud bang. I was breathing heavily and my cheeks were red as tomato. I HATE HIM TO INFINITY...UGHHHHH !

All this time while I was acting all strong rough and tough he was just standing there and looking at me because I was already  dressed in very little clothing. Oh God ! What he will think of me now ? How can I forget what I was wearing before lecturing him on manners ? He must be laughing at me now. But wait...what does it matter what he thinks of me. Nothing, right ? I heaved a sigh and slowly opened the door with all the mustered courage and poked out my head to see if the coast was clear.

It was NOT.

Harry was sitting on my bed looking everywhere as if trying to know the depth of every single thing that was being placed in my room. Now he is FBI agent. Man..he is fifty shades or maybe hundred shades but all I know is conversing with him drains me out.

As soon as he felt me looking at him, his bambi eyes stared at me with a smile that  dripped smugness. I want to punch his perfect face and just kis- STOP !

"What are you still doing here ? And I told you to close your eyes. " I whisper shouted at him with anger.

" Its not like I can see you through that door, Your Highness. Now cut this crap and get ready soon. I don't have whole day to waste."

" Let me remind you... I was trying to get ready when some passing lunatic tried to hinder my routine by  barging in MY room without MY permission. Pray tell, do you know who he is ? "

" He sounds familiar but sorry I don't associate myself with that kind of people unlike you seeing he barged in YOUR room. Now get ready, I will be waiting downstairs."

" Thank God..." I said loudly to let him hear that I was very happy to see him leave. But at the doorway he turned around and smirked

This is not going to end nicely.

" Don't miss me much"

"YOU.."

But before I can scream at his face or shut him up with my witty answer he walked away without giving a second glance at me leaving me baffled. How can he act so normal ? How can he think that everything is normal and jolly as if my wedding isn't lingering on my head ? Oh well...its my burden to worry about after all.

I showered quickly and changed into my working clothes which are nothing special. It consists of mustard chinos and white t-shirt with olive green stripes on it, socks with little angels printed on it and combed my hair to tame it properly.
While getting dressed my thoughts lingered on the moment today in the morning when Harry caught  me in my night clothes. They were so much revealing and just not for his eyes. Why is it always him that finds me in these type of situations ? Please God...no more surprises today !

I took my handkerchief,  a small duffle bag and mobile for my work and made my way downstairs to find something unusual.

Harry and Josh were standing face to face in the middle of the room. Harry with his usual not so happy face and Josh with an easy smile looking at him. Wow...this was totally unexpected.

I slowly made my way downstairs and entered the living room which them break their greeting content.

" Oh ! Hi Louis. All ready to go ?" Josh turned towards me with his friendly and genuine smile and took a step forward leaving Harry scowling at his back. Serves him right. Not really.

" Hi Josh. I didn't know you were coming today ? But I am happy to see you " I added hastilynto not get him the idea that I was unhappy to meet him because I was actually happy to see him. After all he is my good friends and mind supplied... fiance. Shut up Brain !

He laughed a bit and shaking his head made his way towards sofa to sit and continued our talk as if he is not one bit intimidated by the now internally raging Harry. Don't ask me why but I get this feeling that he is not at all happy with our exchange by permanent scowl on his face.

" Louis Louis Louis...chill ! I won't take that in wrong sense. Don't be nervous. After all we are good friends, right ?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and I saw glaring at him but in vain as Josh didn't even pay him attention.

" Yes..definitely, good friends ! So what brought you here today ?"

" I was just passing by and as promised I had to give Niall his ' long cherished spiderman t-shirt ' which we talked about yesterday in the car, remember ? Or else he would bug me to death"

" Oh yes ! How can I forget that talk with which he bled my ears out since it came out ! " I laughed a bit remembering how Niall was bugging him to get him that custom t-shirt that Josh had for himself but it was a size small for him so he let himself  promise Niall to get him today . Good...he understood that it is very ugly to make Niall wait.

In all our laughing and small talk a very raspy and low voice cut through with demanding tone.

" If you are finished with your important talk, then can we leave for office, Mr. LOUIS " he punctuated my name making me squirm. I noticed that Josh seemed unfazed by his attitude.

" Oh Harry ! Always so stoic. Sorry, I didn't realise that you both have to leave. Will see you in the evening Louis and you Styles say Hi to Liam. Tell him I would like to catch up with him soon and you too if you are not busy brooding around. Bye. Take care"

I was stood shocked to see Josh act all friendly with Harry as they are childhood friends. Harry just glared at him and gave him a  nod as goodbye but how come Josh knows Liam and Harry ? Oh yes...family friends. I never realised until few days before that we have so many family friends.  Lord save me ! How many more are yet to be introduced ?

I always say goodbye to all my family members before leaving house even for a walk but not today. I am still bitter with Mommy and Papa. So I just walked into my siblings rooms and bid them goodbye with kisses and hugs. My sweet pies !

I made my way towards the door with a heavy heart as I didn't even see Mommy and Papa today and they too didn't take initiative to at least talk properly with me and make me understand the big picture behind my wedding. I restrained myself from crying and with heavy heart and steps made my way outside closing the door.

I saw Harry settled in the driver's seat of his black car with black sunglasses on and looking straightaway towards the lane. I walked briskly and sat on the passenger's seat in silence. We didn't exchange any words and he started driving. I wish Niall will dissipate this uncomfortable silence that has settled between us but instead of waiting for Niall to get  in he drove away towards the road.

" WAIT ! what about my Pumpkin ?"

He scrunched his eyebrows for a moment in confusion and then replied without even looking at me.

" Oh you mean that blondie ! He has some field work with Liam and few staff members. So he will directly come to office at lunch time."

" By Pumpkin I meant Niall not blondie. " I muttered in a voice loud enough to hear.

He glanced at me sideways but I turned my head towards the window and started watching outside looking at the trees passing by. I was still too embarrassed to meet his eyes with what happened today morning in my room.

I looked from the corner of my  eyes at him and took his appearance in. He was wearing a crisp grey suit with white shirt, no tie and upper two buttons open making the swallows peak out slightly on his collarbone. He looked so collected and a true enigma of beauty but oh well....when does he not ? I stopped abruptly from thinking anything further. I need to get a grip on my thoughts.

After sometime a voice filled the silence making me jump a bit and lately I realised that he played the radio. He looked a bit surprised too at my reaction but didn't comment on it. After some talking of RJ, a melody filled the car.

Jesus ! "Salted wound" by Sia starts playing.It was song of pure um lust and love making. Who even plays that in the morning on the radio ? It is the song which is being played when Ana loses her virginity to Christian. Well...it is one of my favourite songs but still..listening to it with Harry in the same car is just Awkwardddddd !

I wanted him to change the radio station but how can I ask him to do that. If I do then he will know the real reason and if I don't know then I will die of embarrasment as all my blood is rushing towards my cheeks and neck making me light headed. When the most sensual music started playing he immediately changed the station coughing awkwardly.

But Universe had some other plans because the next song that was playing was " On Top Of You " by Enrique Iglesias. He changed it again abruptly as it was the exact time when the line came

Baby, you gonna love what I do
When I am on Top of You.....

Ooh Lord ! Why is this getting awkward. The next station he halted on was playing " Let Me" by Zion ( Zayn ) whose first line was

Baby, our sex has meaning.....

And that's enough. Me and Harry both together tried to switch off the radio and our hands brushed but he was fast enough to switch it off. If I were with Niall, then I would have been jamming to all these songs. They are my favourite ones but with Harry...it becomes more of a meaning than just song.

He looked straight with his jaws clenched and I turned to hide my burning cheeks to look outside the windows. After some time a husky voice that runs shivers down your back cut through saying...

" So, how did you meet Joshua ?" He demanded answers daring me to refuse that promised consequences by looking at his stance. Well...there is nothing to hide of course !

" Um..we met yesterday in the Park.  He dropped us home as Papa asked him to. " He was deep in his  thought as if processing the information. God knows what goes in that beautiful head. Did I say beautiful ? NO...I DID NOT ! I mentally facepalmed.

" Why he is so friendly with you ? You are a wallflower cutie...You don't make friends easily. Not that it is a bad thing. No offense"

I JUST DIED...Did he call me cutie ? My heart was racing and beating like drums. He so casually dropped that huge ass compliment unknowingly as if he is just talking about weather. Wait...he told I don't make friends easily. I know its true...I don't make good friends easily. I act friendly but there are very few people who I consider as my friends. That doesn't mean he gets to comment on my friend making skills. What it is with him if Josh became my good friend in just some hours ?

Good Louis...great going..concentrate on that offensive sentence and not on that Cutie......ughh !

" Well...whenever people say No Offense...it is meant to cause offense. And for Josh...he is a good lad..very friendly and light hearted and easy to talk to..unlike others. " I muttered last part very slowly and silently but judging by his tightening of fingers on steering wheel I take it that he heard that.

" Hmm..interesting. What were you doing in the park that late ? What if Josh was some kidnapper and not a ' good lad and friendly and whatever ' ?" He punctuated the words I used for Josh heavily and scolded me as if I was some petulant child. I pouted a bit at that but not that he saw.

" We wanted to explore.." I answered without giving anything away. Its not like I will say to him

' I was upset because you seemed fine with my wedding and I don't wanna marry anyone right now so I cried and cried and then me and Niall decided to eat ice cream and walk '

I am not gonna tell you the truth, Mr. Grumpy Pants.

He glanced at me with furrowed eyebrows and if I know him correctly, then his eyes were blazing with annoyance because he didn't get the desired answers.

" Next time when you decide to go  'exploring' just keep in mind that twinks like you can easily be carried in a sack and be kidnapped in the dark. How old are you Louis ? Don't act so reckless at this time with all these dramas going on. "

I gulped a bit hearing his scary warnings because it sounds actually frightening when he put it like that. But all I can focus and reprimand him on was....

" DO NOT ADDRESS ME AS TWINK" I almost shouted with blushing cheeks. I know I am tiny but nobody has the right to say that aloud without getting through consequences.

" Here I am warning you about the dangers and what you decided to concentrate on..this shows how immature you acted by going to that park in the night and that too crossing the bridge."

He scolded me again as if I did something wrong which I DID NOT ! What ??!!

" I did not tell you that we crossed that bridge. "

" You don't have to. Of course if Uncle Mark was worried sick and sent Josh then that means you were on that prohibited side otherwise he would not have that worried.. It takes a wise man to figure out that. "

" Feeling conceited are we.. because I agree to disagree with you on that."

" Haven't you gotten brave in one night with that loud mouth of yours." He removed his glasses and stared at me for some seconds and specifically at my lips which I bit sub consciously as it my habit to do whenever I am nervous or just.  I don't know..its just instinct.

He averted his eyes and I licked my lips as it had suddenly became dry.

" One night can change many things. After all until yesterday I was single and today I have a fiance and wedding lingering on my head"  I said with a bit of venom and sadness with sarcasm. I really wanted to see his reaction and I got.

He stopped the car abruptly making me jolt forwards for which I am thankful for the seatbelt to save me  from banging my head on the glove box. The wheels screeched and came to a sudden stop leaving tire marks on the road. But what baffled me was that he did not look fazed a bit. He sat there composed and stoic.

" Get out ! Ask Camille to show your work for today." He gritted out and I found that we have already reached the office building. His tone lacked any warmth and sounded apprehensive. I sat there looking at his face, surprised frozen at my seat. His demeanour changed so instantly that left me confused.

He tapped impatiently tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and I knew my presence was very unwanted. I collected my duffle bag and was opening the door when he almost shouted

" LEAVE FAST !"

I jumped at his loud voice, scrambling away and opening the door as fast as I can and stood at the corner after closing the door looking at him with wide eyes filled with unshed tears and a bit fear.

He abruptly took a U turn and speeded his car away again screeching the tires leaving dust on my heavy heart again as I entered the office to start a yet new day and that too without Niall.

I wanted to see his reaction and all he did was shouted at me as if I am some unwanted bug and left here alone standing almost on the verge of crying. Well...what does it matter ? I am not getting married to him and so I should just ignore him.  His opinion does not matter.

I hung my duffle bag on my shoulder, put on a happy face and fake smile and entered the office to experience yet more new surprises and shocks.

After all recently..all I get is that so Cheers to some more.....

BUT, WHERE DID HE GO ? I CAN'T STOP THINKING.....
