Chapter 18

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Diary of Call Girl and I'm definitely not making any profits from this story.

Harry woke up the following morning naked and fully content. He rolled over to find that Severus had already woken up, but then heard the shower and knew that the man wasn't too far away. He stretched lightly and pulled the blanket up around him waited for Severus to finish in the loo. Things were good, Severus had rocked his world last night and to make things even better the man had the day off and Harry intended to take full advantage of that. It was a beautiful day it seemed from all of the sun that was breaking through the curtains and much like a cat he was drawn to the warm rays. He climbed out of bed and slipped his boxers on before padding over the windows and pulling the curtains apart. He stood there for a long while absorbing the heat from sun with a small smile playing across his lips.

He swiped up Severus' shirt from the night before and slipped it on and buttoned it slightly and padded down the stairs. He grabbed his back of cigarettes from the table near the door and walked out onto the stoop. He took his favorite seat on the top step and lit a cigarette. He was soaking up all the heat from the sun when the neighbor lady found the time to make herself known.

"Excuse me, young man," she said crossly and he opened his eyes to look at her.

"Yes?"

"This is a nice neighborhood and the smoking was bad enough, but now you're dressed like this."

"I could have come out starkers if you'd prefer," he said unfazed.

"This is a nice neighborhood," she insisted as he stood up.

"And I'm a nice lad. Harry, nice to meet you," he grinned broadly as she fumed and stormed away.

Harry shrugged the lady off and guessed that this wouldn't be the last time she made herself known to him. He put his cigarette out and picked up that morning's paper before heading back inside to make breakfast for himself and Severus. He needed a shower, but he decided that could wait until after food. He was busy mixing eggs and putting the bacon on to fry when Draco bounded through the door in all his purebred glory. Draco didn't say a word only looked at what he was wearing and tutted in approval.

"Someone got laid last night," he grinned knowingly.

"And how would you know," Harry asked continuing to whisk the eggs.

"Oh, please. I can smell the debauchery from here."

"Only you would have a nose for debauchery."

"What are you doing home anyways, I thought you were supposed to be in Glasgow," he grimaced at the thought.

"I came home early," Harry shrugged flipping some of the bacon.

"Couldn't stay away? You dirty boy," Draco teased him again, but promptly shut his mouth when Severus walked past him into the kitchen. "Gotta go, client to see soon."

Severus pulled Harry into a long kiss and grabbed his ass, which Draco took as his cue to leave. He had missed Draco a lot, but today he was entirely focused on Severus. He had in that moment decided that the two of them should share a day each week where it was just the two of them. All week Severus was busy with work and Harry was out with Draco and he just wanted to spend more time with the man, other than the short spans of time in the evenings. He wanted this relationship to bloom and go somewhere, it was the first time he had paused long enough to focus on a relationship with another person, usually he sunk the ship before it even had a chance to leave port.

Harry turned back to the stove and Severus made himself comfortable at the table with the cup of coffee. He dished the food out and took a seat across from Severus and grinned broadly as the older man placed his paper aside and looked down at his plate.

"Thank you," Severus said lightly.

"You're welcome," Harry grinned nursing a cup of tea. "I told Hermione."

"Told her?"

"About being an escort," he replied quickly. "She was surprisingly okay with it."

"I'm glad that you could confide in her," Severus smiled softly.

"Me too," Harry grinned.

"Can I ask you something?" Severus said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, of course."

"Why did someone like you, and someone like my godson decide to become male escorts?"

"Everyone does it for different reasons," he shrugged. "Some people do it for the money or the perks, other people do it because they really like sex."

"Yes, but why did the two of you choose it?"

"I guess for me and Draco it boils down to the same thing. We didn't believe in commitment we didn't want it. Some of our clients go for a thing known as the boyfriend experience where they hire us out for a few hours or a night and we do couple things and then have sex. It's like a relationship without any of the strings, and at the end of the day you get to go home and not have to worry about being emotionally invested in another human being," Harry explained. "When it comes down to it we did it for that reason I suppose. The idea of having a disposable boyfriend that we could ditch in a couple of hours. Someone who would take you out and wine you and dine you. It's the perfect man who at the end of the night pays you and heads out. You don't own them anything after that."

"I see," Severus replied after a moment. "So it's about not committing?"

"Basically, it's just like being free and doing whatever the fuck you want. Draco is a firm believer in never having a monogamous relationship and I used to be like that I suppose."

"What changed?"

"I met you," Harry smiled thoughtfully.

And it was true, Harry had never planned on giving anyone a chance and then Severus wandered into his life and changed everything. He supposed that's how love worked though, when you fell in love everything started to change. All of your decisions, your plans for the futures, decisions, dreams and even ideas start to alter before you eyes and then all of them slide into their new place in your life. It's crazy that falling in love with one person could change so many facets of who you thought you were, but here he was. He never thought he would all in love and now he was head over heels and all of his old ideas and views were tossed out for the new ones to come into place. If anyone had asked him the day before meeting Severus, if he ever planned on loving someone and starting a potentially long term relationship with someone, he would have laughed in their face.

He decided that the dynamics of love are too complex to every be worked out properly and he couldn't question something he felt so strongly. Falling in love with Severus had definitely rocked his word in the best and most unexpected way. It had only been a few months but it didn't feel fleeting to him and he couldn't see himself ever not loving the man. It was funny how fast things had changed in his life.

"I think my godson would like to spend some time with you," Severus said nonchalantly.

"But…I had planned to spend today with you," Harry admitted.

"Go and spend the morning with Draco and then I'll take you somewhere for lunch," Severus offered.

"You're the best," Harry said kissing him quickly on the cheek and bolting up the stairs to get ready.

Harry couldn't believe what he and Draco were doing. Draco had decided that he wanted to sunbathe on the roof of his house, and he had decided that Harry was coming with him. They'd never spent time on Draco's roof, it had always been back in Camden on Harry's, but here they were trying to shimmy themselves up the piping on the side of the house. It had been a struggle compared to at Harry's but they had finally managed to make it up the side of the house and onto the roof. Draco had swore the entire time saying that he was having a ladder installed on the side of his house for such purposes in the future.

He had laid back on the towel he had spread out and listened to Draco ramble on about something Pansy had done while he was away. He honestly didn't care at all what Pansy had done but he enjoyed listening to Draco's inane chatter. Things with Draco and Ron were so different, he was himself like no holds barred regular Harry with Draco and the blonde git loved him as is, but when it came to Ron he felt like he couldn't even look at him the wrong way without setting the fiery redhead off. He felt so restricted in that friendship, and he felt horrible for feeling that way, but Ron was so hard to please.

"Lay still," Draco said hovering over him.

"What?" Harry asked pulling up his sunglasses to look at the blonde.

"Listen Potter, I need to take your picture."

"What for? You're not allowed to use my picture to send to men!" Harry protested.

"I'm not sending it to a man, well I am but not in that way," Draco grinned at him.

"What are you doing then?" Harry asked pushing himself up on his elbows.

"Since you're a jobless loser," Draco laughed. "I've got this friend who's looking for a male model."

"That sounds so sketchy! Besides I am definitely not a model."

"I promise it's not. He doesn't run some sketchy porn site or anything. He's an accomplished photographer and he's looking for someone to do this campaign and I sort of volunteered you."

"You what?"

"Well he wants to see a picture of you first of course, so I thought this was the opportune time to get said picture," Draco grinned wiggling his phone at Harry.

"I don't want to be a model. I'm not vain enough."

"Sweetheart, you've got abs to die for, it'd be a shame if the only person who got to see them was Severus Snape. I might have got you a job so be grateful. At least go and meet him next week!"

"You're coming with me," Harry conceded. "And if when I tell Severus he objects in any way the entire thing is off."

"Deal!" Draco smirked at him.

Harry headed home and showered and dressed into something halfway decent and came bounding down the stairs to meet Severus. He kissed the man lightly and grinned at him.

"How do I look?" Harry asked twirling around.

"I much prefer what you were wearing at breakfast," Severus teased him.

"Maybe there will be a repeat tonight," he waggled his eyebrows at the older man.

Severus took Harry to lunch at a nearby café, and Harry instantly fell in love with the place. He enjoyed the flowers out front and he insisted that they sit at one of the little tables outside and just blathered on about nothing in particular. Until he caught himself doing it, then he blushed slightly and apologized for talking so much. He asked Severus how work was going but didn't understand a whole lot of the medical terminology, and had to ask the man to dumb it down for him. Sometimes he didn't feel smart enough to be worthy of Severus' attention, the man had developed cures for diseases and his biggest accomplishment so far was the he had managed to keep from catching an STD from the wide array of men he'd slept with. He knew that he was quite a bit younger than the man, but for some reason he sort of felt pressure to start doing things with his life.

He wanted Severus to be proud of who he was and he wanted the man to be able to introduce him and when people asked what he did have an answer. For some reason Harry found himself feeling glad that Draco was forcing him to meet the photographer next week. That Draco had made an investment into his future for him. He was still spinning his tires trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between escorting and whatever he wanted to do next. The only problem he had no idea what he wanted to do next. Being an escort had just sort of fell into his lap, and maybe modeling would help pass the time until could find out what he was really interested in. He tried to stop himself from investing too much into one modeling job, but he wanted it to work out more than ever now.

"Earth to Harry," Severus said patiently.

"Oh, what sorry?" He blushed brightly.

"I asked you if you were busy, not this weekend coming, but the following one?"

"Oh, no of course I'm not. Why?"

"There's a charity gala to help fund further research, and I was wondering if you would attend as my date?" The man said watching him intently.

"Of course I will!" Harry laughed. "Did you think I'd say no."

"There was always that chance," Severus confessed.

"Are you busy the weekend that is coming?" Harry asked brightly.

"I have a few things, but nothing I cannot move.""Will you come to dinner at the Weasleys with me? Mrs. Weasley is dying to meet you, and she's sort of adamant when it comes to these things. So I'll trade you one awkward family dinner for a night out at the gala," Harry grinned at him.

"I think that sounds fair," Severus smirked and Harry leaned in to kiss him.
