31 Days {L.S}

Chapter 9

Wednesday 3rd January

I'm getting my outfit ready for Dinner at Harry's Tonight. I rub my sweaty palms across my legs. I'm so nervous , and I don't even know why.

I decided on a just a simple black t-shirt and black skinny jeans . I slide on my blue denim jacket . It has some sort of white fur on the collar and it keeps my neck warm .

I drive myself over to Harry's, and it reminds me how much I love driving I don't do it enough, I have My Foo fighters Cd playing , I spend the whole drive vibing to the music , it calms me as I arrive in front of Harry's.

I've never been here, his house is a white ivory colour with vines branching across the sides. I message Harry that I'm outside so I avoid the awkward first interaction with his family.

I start walking up the drive as the door swings open and Harry sticks his head out. He is wearing the same beanie from last night. He grabs my arm and pulls me through the door.

"Hii, it's collld" He emphasises. as he quickly closes the door blocking out the cold air.

"Yeah, I think it might snow tonight," I say as I look around. The house it littered with different fairy lights. Harry catches me looking and he blushes. why is he the one blushing. I look down to take my shoes off. I don't want to get the white carpet dirty with my shoes.

"Mum insists that they make the house more cosy.. The way the lights glistened in your eyes was so... magical" Harry blurts out mesmerised and It takes me by surprise. 

"Hi Louis, Our Harry has told us so much about you" An older woman comes around the corner, This must be Harry's mum. It becomes obvious as she smiles and it resembles Harrys big smile, This is where he got it from. 

"All good things I hope" I say and smile. "Thank you for inviting me Mrs-" It hits me that I don't even know Harry's last name . Oh gosh this is embarrassing I look over at Harry and he goes to speak but his mum cuts him off.

"Oh call me Anne" She says and I smile politely as we all make our way to the dining table. 

"Hi Niall" I say as I spot the blonde boy sitting at the end of the table. Next to him is a Younger woman. She has long bright pink hair and I like her immediately as she looks up from the table and gives me a big smile.

"Hi Louis, haven't seen you ages, should of seen my face when I found out Harry's new bo-"  Niall stops talking and gives Gemma a dirty look. I think she kicked him and I laugh. "Friend. yeah havent seen you in ages" Niall finishes and I take a seat at the table opposite Gemma.  Another boy is sitting next to Niall and I assume it's his friend Michael who Harry mentioned yesterday.

Harry takes the seat next to me and His dad walks in and sits next to Gemma.

"Hi so glad to have you here" Harry's Dad speaks up.

"Thank you sir" I speak up shyly. I feel everyone's eyes on me

"No problem, Call me Robin, I'm Harry's Step dad" He explains and I nod and smile. 

The food is served out and the family make conversation with me , asking me about my family ,they were just as surprised when they found out I was on the same football team as Niall.

Harry keeps his beanie on the whole time and no one says anything, it must be a normal thing. I dig into my dinner, Anne has cooked a lovely roast dinner and I add extra mash onto my plate.

Harry is deeply focused into his food and barely mutters a word as he eats. He looks over at me and smiles with his mouth full of chicken. I smile back.  I look at the end of the table and Niall has a frown etched on his face, he pushes the peas across his plate and hums occasionally when asked anything. 

"Don't mind him, he's in a bad mood because his girlfriend was cheating on him with one of his mates "Harry whispers in my ear and my jaw drops. Infidelity disgusts me. 

Niall must of heard because his head snaps up at us and I avert my eyes before he sees me looking.

"LIZA CHEATED ON ME WITH DAVID! DAVID OUT OF EVERYONE! she chose him over me" Niall's voice echo's over the table as all the chatter stops and we all look over at him. Niall's eyes begin to water as he stands from the table and runs out knocking his chair over.

"Oops" Harry says apologetically as his mom looks at his sternly. Michael gets up to follow him. 

A couple minutes later Niall arrives and sits back down acting like nothing happened.

"Oh, Nialler haven't you got that gig you're doing tomorrow" Robin says and I get distracted from my conversation with Harry.  Anne notices my confused expression and explains.

"Niall now does music, He has a gig tomorrow at Kevin's Tavern, you and Harry should go" I look over and Harry and he nods enthusiastically.

"Yeah, go on lads, cheer our Niall on" Robin chimes in and I agree.

"It's a date" Harry says and I move my eyes back to my plate as I feel everyone eyes look at me. why did he say that. 

"yeah, it'll be fun. I'm going to play some new tracks" Niall says to take the attention away from me.

The rest of the night flows smoothly and It ends with a game of Tv show trivia. Gemma challenged Harry and said she knew more about The Office than he did.

Oh boy, I never knew how competitive the family was until Niall starts throwing carrots into Gemma's hair because he lost the round.

"Ni, stopp being a sore loser" Gemma says as she starts to throw the carrots back at him.

I sit back and watch , I chime in every once in a while to help Harry with answers, He does the same for me. Jeez I've never met anyone that can recite scenes from Prison break. 

"I only watched it for Michael Scofield and Sara... okay and Sucre" Harry reveals as The table erupts into laughter.
