Chapter Forty

They finally took their trip to look at houses a few days later. Harry and Louis were still high off of the excitement of their trip to Disney and Universal. Harry and Louis even had a pretend duel with their toy wands. Louis was also most excited to see his plants again.

"We're gonna go look at houses today," said Harry while making breakfast. "I can't wait to move into a bigger house. This place gets cluttered easy."

Louis nodded and smiled. "Me too."

After breakfast, they took off to the car and drove to their first destination. They parked in front of the small Cape Cod house. Louis got out.

"It's much smaller in person," said Louis, examining the house.

"Yeah, you're right," Harry said. "But we should look inside anyway."

Just then, the realtor came out. She was short but pretty, with blonde hair.

"Good morning," she said. "I'm Darcy. I'm your realtor for today to show you this house."

Louis blushed shyly and held Harry's hand.

Harry shook her hand with his other one. "I'm Harry Styles. This is my boyfriend, Louis."

Louis blushed and said, "Hi."

"Hi, Louis," she said and opened the gate for them to enter. "Come inside, I'll show you around."

They went inside. It was indeed a beautiful home. It immediately brought them inside the living room, which had a nice beige color on the walls. There was a perfect place for Harry to hang up his art work. The kitchen was quite small and so were the bathrooms. There was only one bathroom. The master bedroom was also very nice with light grey walls.

"Like it so far?" the realtor asked.

Louis smiled politely. "It's a pretty house."

"I like it, but I think it's a little small for us," said Harry, holding Louis' hand.

"Okay," Darcy said. "Thank you for stopping by and taking a look."

"Thank you for showing us," Harry said and smiled. "Have a good day."

"You too," she said, and led them back out.

Harry and Louis got back in their car and set off for the next house, which was their only other option.

"I have a feeling this one will be the one," Harry said, stopping at a red light.

Louis beamed and nodded. "I agree."

The next house was a little farther away. It took about twenty minutes to get there. Once they got there, Harry looked out the window and gasped. The house was really nice.

"Wow," Louis said admirably. "It's big."

Harry grinned and said, "That's what she said."

Louis laughed and got out. Harry got out shortly after.

Harry smiled and waited for the realtor. "I like it. It looks a little bigger than the last house.

An older man came out of the house and smiled friendly. "Hi, I'm Mark. Ready to take a look?"

"Yes," Harry said with a smile. "I'm Harry and this is Louis."

"Hi, Louis," he said and shook their hands.

Mark led them inside and both Harry and Louis were amazed. The house was large and beautiful with white pillars. It had a foyer with lovely blue tiles. The living room had white carpet and light blue walls. Mark showed them around, taking them into the kitchen and upstairs.
