Lennox’s POV
The movie night went pretty okay. I knew that Rachel knew something was up but she didn’t question it which I was grateful for. Louis of course was pretty well behaved. He sat next to Rachel which I was not okay with but of course I couldn’t say anything about it. Everyone left around one and Rachel and I spent about another hour just catching up some. Today I was meeting Harry to see what exactly the boys needed from me. I woke up and threw on some clothes making sure to grab a cardigan so I wouldn’t have to explain to Rachel as to why I had the tattoos on my arms. I was finishing up in the bathroom when Rachel walked in.

“Where are you going so early in the morning?” she asked and I looked at her in the mirror.

“To meet up with Harry,” I said, “I have food in the fridge and if you want to go get something for lunch just text me and I will come get you okay. And if anyone rings the doorbell do not answer it.”

“Why do not want me to answer it?” she asked.

“Because my neighbor’s will call the cops because they don’t know you’re living with me yet,” I said coming up with a quick lie.

“Okay,” she said warily and I gave her a small smile.

“Be good and don’t burn my house down okay,” I said.

“Got it,” she said as I rushed down the hallway and grabbed my purse and keys.

I then opened my front door to find Harry sitting on the porch steps. I smiled lightly at him and shut my door.

“You know I told you I’d meet you at the coffee shop,” I said, “I could’ve taken the tube.”

“Yeah because when have I ever let you take the tube?” Harry said looking at me as he stood up from the steps.

“That one time when we were both too drunk to drive home,” I said smirking at him and he just rolled his eyes.

“How did your sister like us?” Harry asked as we decided to take the tube together leaving his car parked a few houses down.

“I don’t really know,” I said, “I do hate that she’s taken a liking to Louis though. I know he’s your best friend Harry but I don’t want him breaking Rachel’s heart. She’s too good for him.”

“You think that a lot about your friends don’t you?” he asked smirking and I playfully shoved him.

“I say that because you date girls you shouldn’t Harry,” I said, “And Louis sleeps with anything that allows him to.”

Harry just chuckled at my response and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

“You worry too much Len,” he said as I rolled my eyes.

We got on the tube and took it to downtown London and went to the coffee shop that Harry and I met at two years prior. I ordered our normal drinks and were about to pay for them when Harry stepped in front of me and ordered something for us to eat too.

“I could’ve paid for it,” I mumbled and Harry rolled his eyes.

“Like hell I would’ve let you pay for it,” he said as he led me to a table in the back of the shop and went to go get our food and drinks.

While he was waiting I watched as him as he flirted with the barista and I just shook my head. I don’t know when I started developing feelings for Harry Styles but I knew that I had a small crush on him and every time I watched him flirt with other girls my heart broke a bit.

“You two having troubles in your relationship?” I heard a voice ask and I looked up to find a pair of brown eyes and dark brown eyes from the past staring at me.

“Oh my god Jay!” I exclaimed and hugging my old friend from high school.

“Hey Len,” he chuckled hugging me back, “I like the tattoos.”

I then looked down at my arms to remember I took off my cardigan as soon as Harry and I got onto the tube.

“Thanks,” I said, “You haven’t changed much and to answer your question we’re just friends.”

“Well then,” he said handing me his phone as he took mine, “We’re swapping numbers to catch up.”

“Okay,” I laughed.

“Or to take you out on a date because I’m definitely pissed I let a beautiful girl like yourself get away from me,” he said and I blushed.

“Always the charmer Jay,” I giggled.

“See you around Lennie,” he said using my nickname from school.

“See you around Jay,” I said as he walked away.

I then looked up to see Harry stalking over to me.

“Who’s that?” he asked as I smiled at my phone.

“Jay Brunningham,” I said, “An old friend from school.”

“Well you two look cozy,” Harry mumbled and I laughed lightly.

“What’s her name?” I asked motioning to the barista.

“I don’t know,” he shrugged, “She gave me her number.”

“Are you going to call her?” I asked taking a sip from my coffee.

“Don’t know,” he shrugged, “Maybe for a quick favor.”

I then rolled my eyes and Harry just chuckled. He knew I hated when the boys who didn’t have girlfriends would just use girls for their needs. I took a bite of my food and looked over at Harry who was staring at my phone since I had gotten a text from Jay. I rolled my eyes and flipped my phone over.

“Now what did you need to talk to me about yesterday?” I asked.

“I was just coming to warn you about our rivals,” he said, “They found out you mean something to us and they’re now all planning on ways to either get you to change sides or hurt you. I would tell you I want you to live with me but with Rachel living with you now. . .”

“We’ll be fine,” I said, “I have taken the right precautions. Nothing is going to happen.”

“Well I’m going to have the lads patrol your house every once in a while too,” Harry said, “We can’t be too careful.”

“Look at you,” I said smirking at Harry who was giving me a weird look.

“What?” he asked.

“Being all protective over a girl,” I said.

He just rolled his eyes as I laughed at him. We then spent the rest of our time just talking when my phone started ringing. I looked over at my phone to see it was Jay and I decided to answer it.

“Hello,” I said.

“Hey Beautiful,” he said, “What are you doing tonight?”

“I don’t know,” I said, “Why?”

“Well you’re going on a date with me now,” he said as Harry and I were walking towards the tube.

“I am now?” I asked, “That’s news to me.”

I knew he was laughing at my response but I was serious. I wasn’t going to let a boy tell me what I was going to do.

“Now if you want to ask me that might be nice because I’m not going out to dinner with you tonight,” I said and hung up.

Harry was just laughing at me and I just rolled my eyes.

“Remind me to have manners if I ever ask you out on a date,” he said.

“Oh I definitely will,” I said.
