Styles -On Hold-

The next morning, I set up a meeting and I needed Anna to be there as well, so I instructed Liam to let her know that she was expected. I made sure that my closest guys knew about it, which meant that Zayn, Liam, Niall and Louis were informed and as I took a shower I couldn’t help but think about Anna and I actually felt a bit ashamed of myself that I hurt her but that was short lived because it was her own fault for not listening to me.

I kept telling myself that it was the only way I could make her listen to me because that was way easier than admitting I was wrong. I put on shorts and a white shirt because even though this was an important meeting, I wasn’t planning on sweating to death. This summer was being a bitch.

I looked at my watch and saw that I still had an hour before everyone was supposed to be here. I grabbed myself some breakfast and checked out Anna’s blog to see if she wrote anything on it recently but I was disappointed when there was no new post, which was weird because she had an updating schedule. This probably was my fault and the fact that I was distracting her

I was already having a huge impact on her and this pleased me but it also worried me because this made her a weakness and knowing Bradley he would exploit that.

When the guys arrived I had already tea and coffee ready. The minute Liam walked through the door I ushered him to see if he made sure Anna would come but the look on his face said enough. “I told her she had to be here in ten minutes but she, you know snorted and walked away.”

“You really let her go?”

“Yes I did, you can’t force her Harry, that’s just not right, if she wants to be with you, it should be on her own accord.”

“You apparently don’t understand it. I want her Liam and it’s not like those girls before her, I really want her and she is in danger.”

“What are you talking about?”
“Let go into the kitchen.” We walked back to the kitchen and I sighed when I didn’t spot Anna amongst them but that had to wait.

“Alright, here is the deal Bradley is threatening Anna and every single one of you. Anna went on his part of the city, without knowing and now he threatened to kill anyone who would overstep the boundary.”

“That girl is trouble Harry.”

“I know Zayn but the only way we can prevent any death is to make sure she knows where she can and can’t go.”

“You can’t even control her Harry, I mean isn’t she supposed to be here?”

“I will take care of this, I will make sure she knows but for now I want you all to look out and make sure everyone knows about Bradley’s threats.” They nodded in agreement, Zayn was already on the phone making sure his fiancé was safe and Liam was also calling his girlfriend.

“You know, you are making it harder for us to go around town this way, don’t you?”

“What do you mean?”

“You picked out a stubborn girl and she will not give in easily.”

“I know Niall but you don’t understand what I’m feeling for her. She is like sunshine and I want all that sunshine.”

“And in the progress you will destroy her and if you do that, there will eventually be no more sunshine.” Niall was right but I couldn’t think about that right now.

“Alright I will go look for Anna, you guys make sure everyone is being safe by not trespassing.” They all walked out of my house and I first tried to call her and when it went straight to voicemail, I texted her but I was already out the door to find her.

I tried her house first but she wasn’t there, then I tried the Starbucks there was no sign of her. I knew she wasn’t in trouble because I would know if she was, so I decided to get something to drink and lunch because I was starving and this way I could think clearly about where she might be, I had to know her favourite spots for future disappearing’s because this was ridiculous and a waste of time.

I was looking around and my eyes lingered on the bookstore down the street and I had to check it out. I walked into the store and was met by an old lady. She wasn’t happy to see me, which I could understand, I mean a lot of people knew my reputation and it wasn’t a good one. If I didn’t have ties with the police, then I would be in prison already.

“Can I help you?”

“Yes, I was wondering if you had seen a girl with dark blond hair and she has freckles on her face"

"No I'm sorry I haven't seen her but if I do I will tell her you are looking for her" The sales lady was lying but there wasn’t anything I could do, I mean the woman was way too old and she reminded me of my grandmother but this meant Anna was here, which meant she was safe, so I decided to let it slide this time.

"Yeah uhm that's fine thank you" I walked out of the store with a smile on my face because this meant I could relax in the pub and just wait her out. I called everyone to let them know, that I found Anna and that if she left the store and I wasn’t there, someone should follow her and call me the minute she was on the move. I walked into my pub and sat down at my usual spot when Louis walked over with a pretty woman.

“Harry meet Lianne.” I nodded to her and she gave me a big seductive smile. “What do you need Louis?” He smiled at me and pushed to woman on my lap.

“You my friend need to relax and that’s why she is here,” He actually brought me a whore, I shook my head. “I don’t really feel like I need to relax so maybe you should take her yourself.” I tried to push her from my lap when she put her hand on me, this stopped my actions and it reminded me how long ago it was, that I had a woman.

Louis saw my change of thoughts and retreated. “Have fun you two.” He left me with her but there was no way we could do anything in full sight so I pulled her along to my office in the back and locked the door. The thing was, I couldn’t really do this unless I was high on something and she understood this perfectly. I opened my desk drawer and pulled out coke, this would work the fastest, not that I took it on regular occasions but this time I needed it because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do anything because this woman wasn’t Anna.

“Do you mind?” I asked her but she shook her head. “I don’t, can I have some as well?”

“Sure.” I made two lines, one for her, one for me and the moment it started to work I grabbed her roughly and almost threw her against the wall, she didn’t complain or stop me, she just giggled as she undid my shorts, her hand disappeared into my boxers and started to stroke me. She started to compliment me on my length and the moment I felt her mouth on me, everything became a blur and when it was all over, I felt terrible and I vowed to never do it again because this felt like cheating even though Anna wasn’t mine yet.

“Can I have some more coke before I leave?” The woman came back from cleaning herself up ad I threw her a batch of coke and escorted her out. I was shocked to see it was already past six, how on earth did I lose so much time. I grabbed water from the counter and when I saw Louis laughing in the corner I walked over and grabbed him by the throat. I pulled him closer and saw the fear in his eyes. “Never do that to me again.” I told him icily. “I did not appreciate it and you know why, so never put me on the spot like that again.”

Louis nodded and I released him when my phone started to ring. It was Zayn “She is here at the gym.”
