"Its okay,I'm fine really" I try to reassure him as his face goes red and he continues to pat the towel across my clothes.

"I'm so getting fired" The boy whispers under his breath. 

Some one touches my shoulder and i look over to my side. When did Liam get up? Liam is smirking and i know he's going to have a field day mocking me for this. We only wanted to go out to celebrate my good news.

The boy in front of me quickly stoops down to collect the 4 milkshake cups that fell off his tray.

"Here. I'll help" I lean down and go to collect one of the cups. Both of our hands grab it at the same time.

I pull back quickly as his fingers touch mine and shock me. As i move our heads hit and I can't believe this is happening right now. I really thought the milkshakes would be enough but now i'm going to have a bruise on my scalp. Is it even possible to get a bruise on your scalp.

"AAaa" i yelp out in pain and i stumble back into Liam. Liam continues to Laugh and it feels like this scene has been going on for hours.

The boy rubs the front of his head and continues to clear up the mess.

"HARRY! is that you again?" A man in the back yells, causing the boy to quicken his movement.

"fuck fuck fuck" the boy continuously whispers and grabs the mop from behind him and starts rapidly clearing up the milk.

I start to remove my hoodie, it's drenched and I'm still hungry. I pull it from over my head and my shirt lifts up. i go to pull it down but my hand slows down as the boy stares at my exposed belly. His lips part and as i finish pulling it down his eyes meet mine. 

Our moment is ruined as Liam pulls my arm back into the booth. "I can't believe that just happened. ahahah, sucks to be you lou" Liam pushes napkins in front of me so i can wipe down the residue on my jeans.

I turn back to see if that boy is still there .He is gripping the mop in one hand and dips his head to the ground as the older man talks to him. I'm guessing that's his boss or something. 

I think his name is Harry. His curly hair pokes out from under his hat and he slowly wipes his hands on his white apron.

"Louis don't worry about him, i ordered you cheesy fries and a dr.pepper, it should be coming soon" I turn back to Liam and I start to pity the young boy being shouted at.

"I feel bad, He's going to get fired" I say as Liam starts scrolling on his phone.

"Oh well, he did drop them all" Liam says harshly.

I can't just sit here. I turn back at Harry and his lips fall into a frown.

"I'll be back" I say quietly to Liam as i make my way over to them.

The older man notices me first and he plasters a fake smile on as he turns his body to face me with his back to the younger boy.

"I am so sorry sir for all the commotion. Don't you worry he won't be working here anymore and your meal will be paid for on the house" The man claims with his big fake smile. 

Oh no, I have to do something I glance over at Harry's slumped shoulders as his eyes are fixed to the ground. He turns and makes his way back into the kitchen without a word.

"Actually I came over here to say sorry, I got in his way. I tripped over my laces and fell right into him, You don't need to fire him it was all my fault," I rush the last part in a panic. 

"Oh, if that's the case yeah i'll go talk to him" The man scowls at me as he turns to walk into the kitchen. He must not like Harry.

I walk back to Liam and slide back into my seat. He Looks confused .

"That guy looked at you like you just slept with his wife, jeez what did you do?" Liam leans across the table towards me.

"So he was going to fire that boy, but i couldn't let that happen. so i told him i tripped and yeah" I notice my food and drink have arrived and I clutch my cups and begin to slurp through the straw.

Liam just shrugs his shoulders in confusion and goes back to his phone, No doubts probably messaging random people off tinder. 

Me and Liam chat for a while while we both begin to eat. Liam ordered his usual Burger with curly fries. He eats quickly and he sits there quietly waiting for me to finish. 

I love that about Liam he never rushes me , in any situation. I look up at him and I can tell he wants me to hurry up but i slow down further just to see how far i can take this. Liam smirks and shakes his head and i quickly scoop up a fry tossing in into my mouth. 

A couple minutes pass and I can't be bothered to eat anymore.

I pick at my fries and I cant help but to think about him. 

Harry.
