Just a stranger? | Larry

Chapter 5

I gave my mum a big hug and was ready to go to the fridge to see what I could eat when my mum started to talk again.

Pov: Harry

A: "Don't you have work today?"
I froze. Shit.
H: "W-What day is it?"
A: "Saturday"
I let out a relieving breath. Puhh..
She's right, normally I'm supposed to work on Saturdays, but Rob, my boss changed my work schedules. Means, now I have to work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and sometimes on Sundays, but he let's me know if I have to work on weekends. Before he changed it I had to work on the same days and on Saturdays too.
I work in a bakery by the way.
Rob gave me a free day on Saturdays, because we got a new Employee. I haven't seen her yet, but her name is Eleanor or something..
H: "No I don't, Rob gave me a day off on Saturdays!"
A: "Oh that's nice. Well then, I didn't say anything." She said while putting her hands up to show that what she just said was not important.
A: "So do you have plans for today?"
My mum asked interested.
Do I have plans? Good question. I haven't seen or heard my best friend Niall in a long time. I should call him and ask if he wants to hang out sometime!
H: "I might call Niall later and ask him when he's got time. But that's it I guess."
A: "I haven't heard of Niall in a long time! Is everything okay between you two?"
She looked really worried while saying that..
H: "Everything is perfect. I haven't seen or heard him in a long time either but there was no fight or anything. Don't worry."
She made a sound of acknowledgment to show me she listened. I finally carried on with what I actually wanted to do - looking into the fridge.
I opened it and saw that we still got eggs, so I decided to make scrambled eggs with spaghetti for lunch.
I don't cook everyday but pretty often.
H: "Are scrambled eggs and spaghetti okay for today?"
A: "Of course! We haven't had that in a long time."
So I began too put some water in a pot and added a bit of salt. I put it on the cooker. I was just opening the pack of spaghetti, when I heard a tone from upstairs.
That was my phone.
H: "I'll be right back, I'll just check on my phone real quick" I said to my mum while heading upstairs to my room. I only left the boiling water alone in the kitchen, because I knew my mum's still there so nothing can really happen.
I arrived at my room and grabbed my phone to see that I have 1 missed call and a few text messages. But from who? I slid the notification down to see it and I automatically began to smile when I saw that the call and the messages were from Niall.
Did he know I was going to call him later?
I decided to take my phone with me downstairs and call him back on my way down.

Beep Beep Beep

Niall: Hey lad!
H: Hello Nialler, what's up?
N: Just haven't heard much of you in a while and wondered if you'd like to hang out someday again?
H: Can you read my mind? I literally just told my mum that imma call you later to ask the exact same thing!
N: HAHAHA I do be able to read your mind Harold

Nialls laugh is just something different.. Even my mum heard his laugh and he isn't even on speaker..
Now I gotta tell Niall that my mum misses him. Great.

H: Ni, my mum misses you, you should definitely come over sometime!
N: Only your mum? Well now I'm disappointed Harold.
H: Omg Niall stop. Of course I miss you too you dork. But when you come bring Liam with you! He's welcome too of course!

Niall and Liam have been dating for 2 years now and they're really cute. It looks like they're meant for each other!

N: I will! When do you have time?
H: How about tomorrow? I don't have to work there so I'm free. What 'bout you?
N: Sounds good! Tomorrow at yours at 5pm?
H: Per-fect! You wanna go out tomorrow?
N: Harry, tomorrow is sunday. You have to work on Monday!
H: Going out doesn't always mean drinking, you little alcoholic.

When Niall wants to drink, he drinks.
He can be pretty arduous when he's drunk, but Liam and I got used to carrying Nialler up the stairs, because he isnt able to walk anymore..

N: Very funny, Harry. See you tomorrow then!
H: Aight see ya!

Beep Beep Beep

I looked over to my mum and saw that she was smiling all over her face.
H: "You good?"
I asked giggling.
A: "Its just so funny to listen to you two talking"
H: "Well if it's nothing worse than that, I'm relieved."
