Polaroids & Memories

Friends or More than that? ~ 12

( Harry's POV )

"Here you go Louis." I had him a plate with a Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wrap on it. It's one of my favorite things to make and eat.

Before Louis can eat it, he takes out his Polaroid camera and takes a picture of it. Mom, Gemma and Niall look at each other with a confused expression on their face.

"It's nothing." I whisper to them. I shouldn't tell them about Louis' 13 hour memory. That his choice to tell them, but I'm sure they'll handle it okay.

I serve myself a plate and sit next to Louis. Mom is besides Louis, on his left, then Gemma and Niall. We sit at a old circle table my dad made when I was young.

"Well eat up honey." Mom says and pats Louis on his hand.

He smiles and picks up his wrap and takes a small bite of it. He chews it slowly and savors the flavors. He smiles and speaks. "Hmm, it's...it's yummy, Harry."

"Thank you, Louis. Glad you like it." I smile and begin to eat my wrap. Mom, Gemma and Niall eat too.

We don't say much as we eat. I think because Louis is partially nervous being here and eating with my family. He only has Mr Payne and his sister. So being around a family is new to him.

After a while my mom speaks which I really wish she didn't. "So Louis, what kind of relationship do you and Harry have?" She asked.

Louis gulps down the remaining food he has in his mouth, loudly, and remains quiet. Oh mom why ask that question.

"What kind of relationship?" He finally says. He looks at me nervously and looks back down at his empty plate. "Well, I think we're just friends at this point."

"In my experience, men and women or men and men are never "just friends."" Niall looks at me and gives me a wink.

Do I really want to be more than "just friends" with Louis? I mean I asked him if we could be lovers but that was kinda because we were in the moment.

"Mmm, really? Is that how it is these days?" Mom says and stands up and collects our empty plates.

"Most of the time, it's the nice guy who gets his heart broken." Niall says. This is the most honest thing I ever heard him say. It's weird.

"Um, I don't think Harry feels that way." Louis glances at me quickly before looking back at his fingers now. "He knows I wouldn't ever do something like that."

"My my." Mom says, surprised by that comment.

"Goodness! I don't know what you see in him, Louis. Even from my perspective, he's an idiot!" Gemma sights and shakes her head.

I'm not an idiot.

"What? No he isn't!" Louis yells back.

"But that's the kind of thing that arouses the maternal instinct from men, am I right?" Again, Niall why are you being so honest?

"Maybe so. But I was beginning to think that he'd never find somebody.
And now, I'm so happy for my idiot brother!" Gemma laughs and slaps her leg.

"It's entertaining to watch anyway." Niall says before standing up to leave for the bathroom.

"So Louis, what part of Harry was it that you fell in love with?" Mom returns with some strawberry yogurt for us.

I can tell this is making Louis uncomfortable. He's fumbling with his diary and blushing. I finally speak up. "Cut it out! You're obviously embarrassing him!"

"Don't be silly. He's fine. Right, Louis?" Mom hands him a yogurt and a spoon and smiles.

"Yes! This is fun!" He smiles big. I guess this is entertaining for him.

"See?" Mom look at me and smiles.

"Uh..." Is all I can say. If Louis is having fun then that's all that matters.

"Uh-huh." Louis looks at me and smiles. It's a happy smile. One I haven't seen yet. I smile back at him. I'm glad I'm here with him today.
