Radioactive Water (Louis Tomlinson) BOOK 2

Chapter 8 - Damn you, Curly!

Chapter 8 – Damn you, Curly!

“When are we going to figure out what my powers are?” I asked when I stopped at a red light, around ten minutes away from where Niall and Liam lived.

“Well, we have a few more days off because of the Christmas break. You can join us on our ‘morning jog’ to practice,” Liam said with air quotes around ‘morning jog’. Niall groaned when he said that and both me and Liam laughed at his horrified expression.

“We don’t have to do those jogs anymore as a cover! Zayn is always asleep in the mornings we are off and Harry is clueless to pretty much anything! Let’s just go at a decent hour!” Niall argued.

“He does have a point there. I would also like to sleep in for a couple of hours, especially since I haven’t slept well the past couple of days.” I said and Niall grinned happily. The both of us gave Liam hopeful glances. “Alright, alright! We train in the evening then!” He finally said, throwing his hands up in the air.

Then I realized something.

“Wait, I can’t tomorrow.” I informed them. “I promised Harry that when I came back I would bring him to the new aqua zoo in town!” I told them. Remembering the deal I had made with Harry.

He had said that he would only watch over my place if I bought him to the newly opened aqua zoo.

Liam nodded. “Alright, the day after tomorrow then?” He offered. I nodded in agreement and Niall shrugged his shoulders. “Fine with me,” the blond said. “Why does Harry even want to go to the aqua zoo?” He added after a while.

“I think he just wants to watch the turtles they have there,” I guessed. But then again. Who knows with Harry? I doubt that boy sometimes doesn’t even know himself what’s going on in his head.

“What’s with Harry and sea animals?” Liam questioned aloud.

I shrugged my shoulders. “I have no idea honestly. Just Harry being Harry I guess.” Niall chuckled at that. “Well, here we are. The home of Niam Horayne!” I yelled, dramatically pointing out of the window towards the house Niall and Liam decided to share.

Niall glared at me with his icy blue eyes and retorted. “Oi! You have nothing to talk about, Larry Stylinson!” While he still had the last word, Niall jumped out of the car.

It was like a light bulb went on above his head because he smirked at me though the car window with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He placed his hand on the window – after Liam exited the car – and I watched in both horror and amazement how ice crystals appeared on my window and how Niall froze it, with a single touch!

I hate to say this. But Niall’s power is freakishly awesome.

“When you go with Harry to the aqua zoo tomorrow, make sure you’re careful. We still don’t know your powers,” Liam said after me and watched Niall and Liam skip back towards their house, laughing on their way.

I moved to look at my now frozen window with my mouth agape before I finally drove away, towards a car garage that is. This window needs to be fixed.

● ● ●

The men that worked in the garage gaped at my frozen window for a while before they bought my poor car to the back to work on. They informed me they had to put in a completely new window – it seemed like Niall’s icy powers destroyed my window, damn that Irish man.

They had asked me how it happened and I just shrugged my shoulders in reply. I can’t just tell them that my friend did it with his ice powers. They would probably just look at me weirdly and maybe lock me up in a mental institution.

After filling in some form, I left to go outside and decided to hail a cab to bring me home instead. The person who invited the cab-system is a damn genius.

When the cab pulled up in front of the apartment-complex I lived, I paid the man and hurried inside with my yellow suitcase and shoulder bag on tow. The lift bought me to the floor I lived on and I opened the door with my key.

The moment I stepped inside my place, I knew something was off. I narrowed my eyes and focussed on my heightened senses. I could hear loud snoring coming from the living room and I arched my eyebrows in surprise.

Must be Harry.

Soon enough, when I entered the living room I found my curly-haired best friend – a.k.a. Harry Styles – sprawled over the carpet I had there. He had a fluffy looking pink blanket wrapped over himself – God knows where he got that blanket from – and he held a white stuffed cat against his bare chest. His lips were parted and he had drool on his chin.

I always thought his snoring was loud. But since I had heightened senses, which includes my hearing, I could hear much better. Normally Harry sounded like a bulldozer, but now he sounded like an army of bulldozers.

I shook my head at my best friend and decided to bring my suitcases upstairs to the messy place I call my room.

My eyes widened when I took in my now tidy room.

What. The. Hell?!

I opened the door to my walk-in-closed and found soon enough all my clothes in there. Either on hangers, in drawers or neatly folded on planks. In colour order… I slammed my closed door closed and checked my bathroom and pretty much every room in my whole apartment.

Every room was spot-less and tidy.

“Damn you, Curly!” I loudly cussed.

Why did I thought it would be a good idea to leave Harry on house watch? I should have known the kid would clean up my whole place whenever he got the change…

I never seem to learn my lessons.

I bolded down the stairs, falling down the last few steps and landing on my bum. I also nearly ran into a wall and managed to tumble over a chair I have never seen before, before I entered the living room where Harry was still peacefully sleeping. But not for long, he doesn’t know what is waiting for him.

“HARRY EDWARD STYLES!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH MY HOUSE??!!” I shrieked at the top of my lungs, startling Harry awake and look at me wide-eyed.

The next chappie of Radioactive Water is here, my dear Sharkicorns :P Tell me what you thought of it and don't forget to vote/comment/share if you like it!

What do you think will happen now with poor Harry? Thoughts on the scene where Niall froze Louis' car window? Guesses on Louis' powers? How will Louis' power experiments go? Harry and Louis' aqua zoo day? Predictions? Let me know!

At the side is a picture of Harry sleeping in a crapefruit chair, I thought it would be fitting for this chappie :) Harry is the only one who manages to fall asleep in a crapefruit chair, isn't he? XD

Love you guys! Stay awesome!
