Blue-Eyed Baby

Chapter Ten - The Meal

----- LOUIS' POV -----

It was now October and the last Friday of lessons before we went on a week-long break from college. The golden rays of the sun setting were poking through the dorm rooms blinds while I was packing my bag ready to go see my mum, Mark, and the girls. Stan was going to come with me, after all it had been over a year since he last saw his mum – she was out of town when we visited last month – I was so excited to go and spend more time with my girls. But there was this small part of me that wanted to stay on the college campus, and it certainly wasn't for a curly haired green-eyed boy.

I'd been hanging out with Harry, Liam, Niall, and Zayn a lot more, making sure to leave Thursdays for Stan. Me and Harry had also been doing our tutor sessions, they were nearly finished but I didn't really want to stop them so I kept taking as many breaks as I could, distracted Harry or invited the other lads to hang out too. I was glad I'd met the lads, especially Harry and Liam, we had the same timetable and sadly whenever I didn't have a class Stan and James were in class apart from Friday afternoons.

Harry and Stan had spoken. Stan now knowing that Harry hadn't slept with Kelly – he confronted her about, she admitted it wasn't true and apologised for making him believe it was. We'd all been hanging out more, we'd meet up – the seven of us, sometimes the four girls would come too – on a Friday at four once Harry was out of maths and changed, and we'd all head to the diner and then out to a party or club. It was going perfectly; I hadn't heard one hurtful thing thrown towards me. In fact, everyone just seemed to stare wherever we went, it was weird.

My phone buzzed from where it was on my desk plugged into the charger. I walked over, opening it up before looking who had messaged me, I opened the last conversation I'd had and found three new messages all from Harry,

HARRY: Louis?

HARRY: Louis?

HARRY: Oi, Lewis, don't ignore me!

I smiled before replying.

Louis: Yes, H? What do you want I'm busy packing?

I switched my phone off going back over to my suitcase to finish packing, the thought of wanting to see Harry again before I left still sitting in the front of my mind. Even more so now that he messaged me.

Just as io finished zipping up my bag, the dorm door flew open and in walked a smiling Niall shouting my name, wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a grey button up. He was followed by an amused looking Amelia closing the door behind her, she was wearing a white dress covered in sunflowers and looked absolutely stunning with her shoulder length ginger hair hanging loosely down with two simple braids pulled to the back.

I opened my mouth to reply but closed it again as the door flew open a second time.

Liam walked in first, wearing his usual black jeans, a white t-shirt with a light, blue button up hung undone over his broad shoulders. Followed closely by a grinning Jessica, wearing a short blue skirt and white cropped top, I'm pretty sure she was wearing one of Liam's grey button ups draped over the top. Her long black hair tied into a half up half down kind of hairstyle. Zayn and Stevie walked in next hand in hand. Zayn was wearing his skinny, black jeans, and a plain grey t-shirt. Stevie on the other hand was wearing a delicate, blue dress, Zayn's signature leather jacket placed over her shoulders. She had her blonde hair tied into two braids falling either side of her shoulders.

Opening my mouth, a second time I got the words out, "Hi, Ni. Uhm, why are you all here? And why are you so dressed up?"

"Did you really think we'd let you go home without one last meal?" Niall laughed.

"Well yeah I guess?" I shrugged.

With that they all started laughing Amelia speaking up first, "Nonsense Lou."

"Okay," I said dragging out the 'o', "Where are we going then?"

"There's this really cool Indian place in the middle of town, thought we'd take you," Zayn said, smiling widely.

"Alright, we going them?"

It was Liam's turn to speak up, "We've just got to wait for four more, then we can." Just as he finished his sentence the door flew open a third time. My eyes flicked to a Harry, dressed in the skinniest of black jeans, a yellow button up – only buttoned halfway – a light blue denim jacket and his black chelsea boots, "Hey, Lou," he said taking a step towards me.

"H," I breathed out, taking in the sight Infront of me.

"You good?" He laughed.

"Hmm? Yeah, fine."

"Good," he said wrapping an arm around my shoulder pulling me into a hug.

I pulled back to see three more people entre the room. Stan, James, and Kelly.

Kelly was wearing a gorgeous navy-blue dress and a cotton white cardigan. Her thick auburn hair pulled back tightly into a ponytail. Stan had his arm slung loosely round her shoulder. He was wearing simple blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt. James on the other hand wore black jeans and a black button up.

"Right the main persons here, let's head out," Stan exclaimed.

"Uhm, guys can I change first?" I sheepishly asked.

"Oh, shit yeah. Of course, be quick though."

At that I picked up my favourite pair of black skinny jeans, a faded black t-shirt, and my grey knitted sweater, heading into the bathroom to change.

20 minutes later we were all ready and walking out the door of the dorm building piling into three different cars. Stan, James, and Kelly in one. Niall, Amelia, me, and Harry in another. With Liam, Jessica, Stevie, and Zayn in the last.

We eventually arrived at the restaurant all stepping out of the cars and heading towards the building. It had tall, full glass doors and when you went inside you could see all the tables, due to the lack of people there. We walked in Harry taking the lead and asking, "Table for 11 under Styles?"

The waitress smiled and gestured for us to follow, we all sat down at the round table she'd taken us too. Once we were seated, she spoke up, "Here you go, your waiter will be over to take your order in a few moments." With that she left.

I immediately turned and stared at Harry, "You did this?"

"Yes, I did this." He smiled proudly.

"Why?"

"Because Louis, you deserve it." I opened my mouth to respond but nothing came out. Closing my mouth again a small smile spread to my lips.

From then on everyone began talking about random things, laughing, and joking ordering our meals when the waiter came. Throughout the whole meal, I kept sneaking glances over to Harry, quickly averting my eyes when he caught me.

An hour and a half later, we were all overly full ready to head back.

By the time we got back to the dorm Stan, James, and Kelly had headed back to Stan's room for a movie night before Stan joined me in going home tomorrow. Niall and Amelia had gone back to his room due to 'Ed being gone and having it to themselves'. Zayn had looked pleadingly at Harry as if asking him to stay out the room for the night, Harry had agreed so Stevie and Zayn had headed back there. Liam and Jessica had decided they wanted to go the cinema to catch the last showing of a film before going back to Jessica's room for the night.

So that left me and Harry.

A/N: I've got 39 chapter written but I think it's coming to an end so I'm not happy and neither is my proof reader caitlin325956 but I can't drag it out for too long.
