Intoxicated.

Harry was contacted by his father’s assistant asking him to meet his father that morning. He stopped by at his father’s office before going straight to their crash pad. Harry sighed as he stepped out his car, giving the keys to the valet. People were greeting him on his way to the elevator but he remained walking with a straight face. Upon reaching the fifth floor he was met by his COO Mr. Morrison as the elevator doors opened.

“Harold” Morrison smiled.

Harry returned the gesture and continued walking towards his father room. He didn’t bother to knock and entered, his father greeted him with a scowl.

“You wanted to see me?” Harry said as he took a seat on the chair in front of his father’s desk.

“You made quite a show last night” William took off his glasses and tossed them harshly on his desk.

Harry scoffed and plastered a smirk on his face,” Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”.

William knew that Harry was referring to his announcement last night, he sighed and looked at his son who held an annoyed look on his face.

“So that’s why you left Mr. Tomlinson’s car out in the middle of Central Park for everyone to see” William stood up and turned to look at the view behind his desk.

“All Because you’re giving me the big middle finger, aren’t you?” William continued.

“Louis is in enough trouble already, I hope that if you speak to Mr. Tomlinso-“

“Tell Jerome that it’s not his son’s fault and something along those lines, right?” William looked at his phone as he received a text. Harry nodded his head and went back to examining his father.

Harry spotted the pictures on the shelf at the left side of his father’s office. He remembered that when his mother was still alive it was filled with drawings and photographs He and Matt made, a family portrait of them in the middle and a picture of his mother on the top shelf. Now it’s filled with boring metal figures, books, awards and a picture of his grandfather; in the same frame that once contained his mother’s picture.

“Do you even remember mom?” Harry blurted out,” or Matt’s mom?” His voice getting louder, his eyes almost burning holes through his father’s back.

“What’s that got to do with your behavior last night?” William shouted as he gripped the window panel.

“IT HAS GOT TO DO WITH EVERYTHING DAD!” Harry shouted back.

William turned to look at his son, his eyes filled with tears, he could tell that Harry was holding it back. William knew that out of everything that Harry learned from him, pride was one that Harry inherited so well. He was doing it too, he didn’t want to show his son how hurt he is, that is why most of their meetings end up with them arguing. Harry looked away and closed his eyes for a solid minute trying to push all his tears away.

“You never loved mom,” Harry said, almost whispering. Then he looked up to meet his father’s wary eyes.

“Hell… I bet her death was even convenient for you” Harry mockingly laughed causing William to slap him out of anger.

“Don’t you dare-“

“Continue? Truth hurts, Am I right?” Harry stood up meeting his father’s level.

“You never loved anyone but yourself” Harry spat and brushed off his dad’s shoulder as he was walking out of the office.

Harry left the building in a rush, as soon as he got in his car he sped off to go the crash pad. A part of him felt guilty for starting another argument with his father, but Harry thought why would he stop. His mother went through hell for his father, and that is exactly what Harry wanted to make his father feel.

Harry arrived at the building, while he was at the penthouse hall, he heard a symphony coming from the main room. He smiled to himself knowing that Blair was the one playing the peaceful tune, it was his mother’s favorite Claire de Lune. As he entered Louis was at the bar, of course, looking for something to drink. Blair smiled at Harry when he spotted her. Her right hand still wrapped with the bandage, Harry looked down, remembering what happened that night.

“Are we celebrating?” Harry asked as he poured himself a glass of champagne

“We just felt like it,” Blair said as she approached the two boys by the bar, Harry motioned the empty glass asking Blair if she wants one and she nodded her head.

“So where were you? We’ve been waiting for like two hours?” Louis said.

“The office, my dad called me up” Harry simply said, his voice becoming unamused.

Louis and Blair can tell right away that something had happened, they exchanged looks and downed their champagne in unison. Harry took the key of his motorcycle and tossed it to Louis, Louis smiled from ear to ear.

“I KNEW IT!” Louis laughed hysterically, Harry and Blair chuckled at him.

“What is it this time?” Blair asked.

“Harry and I met this married chick at the Vienna Bar….” Louis paused to think,” a week ago ?” He looked at Harry for approval but he didn’t know either.

“Anyway, we made a bet if he could sleep with her and manage to get caught by the husband” Louis laughed.

“I couldn’t man, she was a pro” Harry laughed.

“Ugh” Blair rolled her eyes.

“Don’t be jealous Blair, you can sleep with Harry too” Louis walked around to give Blair a playful hug, and she pushed him away.

“Just say the word” Harry simply said, before sipping his drink.

“HEY!” Blair and Louis said in unison, stopping their playful wrestling match.

“I was kidding” Harry walked towards the sofa and plopped on it.

“I know we made a pact, but if you guys want to…” Louis dragged, wiggling his eyebrows towards Blair.

“Are you mental?” Blair said then turned to Harry,” He completely lost it”

Harry chuckled in return.

“Just get this emotional turmoil over it, one night only” Louis walked towards the sitting area, “I’ll pretend I don’t know anything” and with that, Blair whacked him at the back of his head.

“Have you forgotten that we’re going to be siblings in a few months?” Blair remained seated at the bar.

“Ah! The Brady bunch part two” Louis joked, Blair picked up her champagne glass motioning to throw at Louis.

“Kidding! Geez” Louis plopped down the sofa opposite Harry’s.

“What if we beat them to it?” Harry said as he stayed in his position, tracing the details of the ceiling.

“What do you mean?” Blair knitted her eyebrows in confusion.

“Marry me” Harry spoke.

“Brilliant! It’s like a classic drama, I wish I have a camera to film this” Louis smiled.

“Shut up” Blair shot him a look

“The companies are going to merge anyway, who cares about who gets married first,” Harry said.

“I’m not in the mood for this” Blair said, slamming her champagne glass on the bar counter

“Registering a marriage isn’t that hard after all” Louis said after searching on his phone

“We can get a divorce after,” Harry said.

“See you only need birth certificates, iDs and…” Louis started saying all the form and things they needed to apply for it but Blair and Harry didn’t bother to listen.

” Let’s say I agree, don’t you think I wouldn’t take everything just like my mom?” Blair questioned, crossing her arms.

“Then take it all” Harry simply said.

“Stop acting like everything is in a whim” Blair raised her voice, ”you must hate my mom that much, huh?”.

“Blair”

“Harry, getting a divorce it difficult” Louis’s voice suddenly sounded serious.

“Yeah, why not make me go through it again” Blair continued not minding Harry and Louis.

“Head of Harrington group found guilty of fraud, wife divorces him and takes all that’s left” Blair scoffed,”I won’t be a part of that again”

“Like we have a choice in our lives” Harry fought back.

“I do” Blair whispered,” I have dreams and being your wife isn’t one of them, forget it.”

“As much as I would like to stay and watch this unraveling drama of the 1%, I have to go” Louis started collecting his things,” my ladies are waiting ” he winked and went out.

Louis went out of the room and his aura completely changed like a switch, one minute he could be the most darling of their trio and one minute he’s the saddest. Louis couldn’t stand staying especially when his best friend just proposed to the girl of his dreams. He entered the elevator and as the door closed he saw his reflection

“You, marriage?” He laughed, “forget it”.

Back at the penthouse, Harry was still laying on the couch as Blair poured herself another drink. She looked back at Harry who seemed lost in his own thoughts and sighed, Blair thought to herself why in all of the people she could possibly be siblings with, it had to be Harry. She felt like crying, the thought of losing Harry completely scared her.

“Do you really want to marry me?” She simply questioned

“Yes” Harry quickly answered

“I didn’t ask if you wanted juice, I asked if you really want to marry me” Blaire rolled her eyes and stirred her drink.

“I know” Harry snapped his head and saw the frown on Blair’s face, he quickly got up and sat beside her.

“Stop complicating things, Harry” Blair sighed as their eyes met.

Harry tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears and looked deeply into her eyes, “Our lives are far from the fairytales I used to read to you when we were little”.

“You, Me and Louis are pawns in a chess game, our parents are the players.” Harry continued,” Even if you get married one day, it won’t be the marriage you dreamed of”

Blair looked down and sighed, knowing Harry was right.

“Marriage is just another piece of the game, let’s use that to our advantage,” Harry said.

“What if I don’t even want to play?” Blair cocked an eyebrow.

“Use me” Harry downed his drink,” if you don’t want a divorce then we don’t have to. If you want anything, take it all”.

“Are pitying me?” Blair started to get frustrated

“I’m not”

“You told me to use you because my mom is using your dad’s company” Blair fought.

“I’m trying to keep what’s mine” Harry argued back, ” It’s a done deal”.

“You don’t need a deal, you have everything.” Blair snapped, making Harry scoffs at her.

“Not…” Harry slowly looked up at her and stared into her brown eyes then back to the floor, ” Everything”.

“Do you still like me?” Blair questioned, getting Harry’s full attention
