Unexpected Stranger (EN)

*7*

*Harry*

Louis has been arguing with someone on the phone for almost 20 minutes and it makes me very nervous. I don't know what that means or what to think about it. I'm not even trying to listen to what they're arguing for so long about anymore and I'd rather turned my attention to the guitar I have on display next to the television. I took it in my hands and with the certainty that Lou couldn't hear me, I started playing. Only my mother and sister know about the fact that I am composing something from time to time. Ever since in the car, where I sang his song, he has been trying to persuade me to show him something. I've always managed to change the topic and say something stupid to not sing in front of him again. 

However, I was in the mood today and I was also uncomfortable and this is the best opportunity. I dropped the fact that someone was still occupying the next room and getting carried away by the music. My fingers slid spontaneously on the strings of my well learned song. I wrote it myself. Until that song was done, I didn't know who I was singing about. Eventually I found out that it was about a man who inspired me for a long time. He didn't hide and showed the world what he was like. And that's the man who's on the phone in the next room. I thought I sang the song about myself but it was the exact opposite. When I understood who it was about, I called it Sweet Creature.

I stopped perceiving the surrounding reality and enjoyed every verse and melody. I didn't notice that Lou was sitting on the couch next to me and was staring at me. As I finished the last part of the song, I sighed still with my eyes closed. I wish he knew I had created something for him. The palm that rested on my knee brought me to reality. I opened my eyes with lightning speed and looked side by side with a startled gasp. Lou smiled from ear to ear, his eyes shimmering with happiness. But why? Did he like the song so much? Or maybe my voice? That's stupid! The screams that my throat makes cannot be considered singing.

,,Lou? What are you doing here? "I asked, confused, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing. I didn't want him to hear me sing. At least not now. " Well, I ended the call, which was very annoying and I heard the guitar. I listened from a distance for a while but when it was clear that you didn't notice me at all, I came to you. " he laughed and looked me in the eyes. "Harry, you have a beautiful voice, why are you so ashamed of it?" He spoke to me after a while. "I-I don't know, I just don't think I have a good voice you know?" I stammered, looking down at my feet. Louis's fingers immediately appeared under my chin, forcing me to look at him. ,,That's bullshit! And the song that you probably composed by yourself is breathtaking, "he tried to convince me. 

"I-I, thank you," I said softly, my face turning even redder. I watched my palms in my lap and thought about how to get out of it. I didn't even have to see Louis to know that he was spinning a plan, he always did it when he learned something new about me and he was so quiet for so long. After long minutes of relentless silence, I finally decided to look at him. He had a  thoughtful look on his face and a slightly wrinkled eyebrow said I was right and as soon as he registered my gaze, he smiled brightly and picked up my guitar, which now layed on the couch and I recognized immediately what song he was trying to play.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the necessary notes for it, so it ended with a sigh of frustration and putting the instrument down. I had to laugh at the gesture from the bottom of my heart. The fact that he tried so hard to handle it warmed my heart and gave me some courage. Louis Tomlinson himself sometimes can't handle anything. Whether it's malicious or not, I liked the fact. I grabbed it back in my hands and strummed the melody very slowly. Lou put on a focused expression and watched every movement of my hands. He was so busy that he didn't even realize I was done.

"Suuuun?" I called to him, waving myhand in front of his face. He just shook his head and blushed slightly. I just smiled at the act, gave him a little kiss and handed him the guitar. At first he looked at me confused but then he understood that he should try again. He groped for a while but then he got into it and he was absolutely brilliant. I smiled proudly at him and my inner self jumped around the room with happiness and danced a hula hula dance. "Honey, your cell phone is ringing. "Loui 's voice woke me up. With quiet thanks, I picked up my cell phone and looked at who had the audacity to disturb me.
