harry's pov

it's now june 29th and it's the first full day of having the neighbours here. the blue eyed boy hasn't left my mind once.

before i can get too lost in my thoughts, i hear my mum calling my name, telling me to come downstairs.

when i got into the kitchen my mum was just icing a cake. i go over and try steal a bit of the icing but before i can my mum swats my hand away.

"heyyyy" i whine with a pout.

"sorry h. this is for the new neighbours. i bumped into the mum, jay, on the street yesterday, lovely lady." my mum says.

"so what's this got to do with cake?" i ask, unsure of where this is going.

"oh! i invited them all 'round for some tea and cake. though, only jay and three of the children can come as her husband is taking the youngest two to the park i think." my mum speaks as she continues to ice the cake. "harry, you okay love?"

"hmm oh. uh yeah i'm fine. sorry just zoned out for a sec there." i chuckle. this cant be real. half of me wants to scream at my mum for suggesting such a thing but the other half wants to hug the life out of her.

i'll finally get to meet the boy next door. i know it's not going to be like a sappy rom-com where we fall in love at first sight. *sigh* a boy can dream.

"well they're coming in 20mins so go put a top on!" my mum interrupts my thoughts. i look down and see i'm just in joggers. shit. that wouldn't be a good first impression.

i run upstairs and quickly swap my joggers for my black skinny jeans with a yellow tee, seeing as it's starting to get properly summery.

i grab my phone to text niall, just to give him a heads up of my situation. he probably won't care and will just end up teasing me but oh well.

haz 🥸: niall omg

ni 🥔: what's up??

haz 🥸: my mum invited the neighbours round 🥲🥲

ni 🥔: does that include super hot neighbour boy ;)

haz 🥸: YES !!!
haz 🥸: i'm freaking out !!!!!!!!!

ni 🥔: haz mate chill with the ! you'll be fine :) just be yourself
ni 🥔: besides it's not like it's just you two alone your families will be there

haz 🥸: yeah i guess
haz 🥸: thanks ni ily xoxoxoxoxooxox

ni 🥔: ily2 🤪

i put my phone away and head downstairs. i've now only got a couple of minutes before they're due to arrive.

"harry, can you go and make sure there's enough seats around the table outside please? there needs to be 6!" i hear my mum call.

"sure thing"

i go out into the garden and it must be my lucky day because we have enough chairs. i make sure they're all good to be used before i turn to go back inside.

as i turn around i'm faced with the shining blue eyes that have been on my mind since yesterday. my breath hitches in my throat as i take his appearance in.

he's, like me, wearing black skinny jeans with a american football jersey on top. he's got black vans on as well. his hair is the same as yesterday, looking effortlessly beautiful and i notice that he's a couple of inches shorter than me which is just adorable.

i give him a timid smile and a polite hello. he responds with a soft "hi". his voice is a little higher than normal and it's got a subtle rasp to it. i've only heard him speak one word but i already know i could listen to him all day.

louis' pov

mum told us this morning that we're going to the neighbours for tea and cake today, and who am i to deny a cup of tea?

she had told us this morning and it's now 12pm and me, mum, lottie and fizzy are standing on next doors doorstep.

"right, i want you all on your best behaviour. we want to make a good impression." my mum says, it's mainly aimed at the girls though because she knows i wouldn't do anything.

she rings the doorbell and we hear someone inside call out that they were coming. the door swings open revealing a middle aged woman, with dark brown hair.

"hi jay!" the woman exclaims. she then turns her attention to me and the girls, giving us a warm smile.

"hey anne!" my mum greats the woman, who's name i now know. "this is louis, lottie and félicité, but we call her fizzy"

at the mention of our names, my sisters and i all give her a hello and a smile.

"lovely to meet you all! please come in, my son is just setting up the table outside."

son. that's new. i didn't realise that there would be a boy living next door. i wonder what he's like?

"just go through to the garden, i'll be out in a second" anne tells us.

as i walk towards the back door, i see a tall figure outside by the table. he turns around just as i step outside and i'm starstruck.

i'm met with the most gorgeous, bright green eyes i've ever seen. his curly hair falls perfectly to his shoulders outlining his chiselled jaw. his skin looks so smooth and i can see tattoos down his arm.

his full, pink lips turn up into a shy smile as he mumbles a hello. oh my. his voice is deep and slow, the type i could listen to for hours on end.

i breathe out a little hi because honestly, i'm still in awe. how could i be so lucky to get this angel as my new next door neighbour?!
