The Kitten and the Wolf - L.S. ✔

Chapter Twenty-Five

There is a very long end note, if you feel like reading it.

--&--

Louis shivers as he steps into the cozy and warm restaurant. He shakes his head to try and get rid of a at least a bit of snow from his beanie. Harry runs his hand through his long curls to do the same since the snow has picked up quite a bit since they arrifed at the movie theatre.

The cupple is immediately spotted by the owner of Sofia's - Sofia.

Sofia is an older, kind italian beta. She is adoringly tiny, always making Louis smile when Harry and her are hugging when they arrive or leave - the woman barely reaches the alpha's chest. Sofia found a linking to Louis and Harry very quickly, treating them as if she is their grandmother.

Neither of the two young adults complain about it though or mind it for that matter. One can never have enoigh grandparents.

"What are you thinking?" Sofia asks shocked as she first hugs Louis and then Harry, giving the wolf a slap on the back of his head. "Did you not check the weather?" she asks, looking at them both. The couple exchanges a confused look, giving her the answer to her question. "A snowstorm is hitting us. It'll last all night and a good part of tomorrow as well. You won't be able to make it back home safely tonight. And I was just about to close up and get home myself." she explains with a worried look on her face.

"Are you sure?" Harry asks, getting an unamuse look from the woman. "Sorry, yea. Stupid question. Why would you lie." He then turns to Louis. "What are we going to do, love?" he asks concerned now as well.

Louis shrugs and sighs, looking anxiously at the werewolf.

"You know what?" Sofia steps in. "You come with me. Stay with me until the storm passes and it's safe for you to drive back home." she decides determined.

"Thanks, but we can't accep this. You have enough--"

"Shush, Louis. I wouldn't be able to close an eye if I'd know you run around looking for a place to stay." she claims, crossing her arms. "I will even make you my pasta al tonno you love so much." she says, smiling at Louis. She then turns to Harry, chuckling at the expected slightly disgusted face of the alpha. "And for you my spaghetti cacio e pepe."

Harry shakes his head. "That won't be necessary, Sofia. I can eat tuna as well, no need to make a full extra dish for me. I--"

She glares at Harry, shutting him up. So instead he sighs and nods, agreeing to her plan.

Sofia claps in her hands. "Great. We best get going. You can leave your car. I live right across from here." she tells them, ushering them to the door of the restaurant.

They quickly make their way across through the snow coming down and the wind blowing from their left.

As soon as they enter the cozy apartmemt Sofia disappears in the kitchen to make her guests something to eat. Louis and Harry ask her if they can help, but the beta shoos them out of the kitchen saying they are her guests and they can watch something on her telly in the living room.

So the two sit down at the couch and manage to find a show they both don't mind watching. Louis pulls his knees up and leans against Harry's side who puts an arm around the hybrids shoulder.

"You know, I was thinking." Harry starts

Louis snorts, looking up at the wolf. "Be careful there. Don't wanna over-work your brain." he teases, getting narrowed eyes from Harry.

"Would you like to spend a week in London with me?" he asks, ignoring Louis' comment. "My parents have an apartmemt there and suggested I could use it with some friends after Christmas." he explains, his fingers running up and down Louis' arm. "And instead of some friends I thought I invite my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday with him."
