Just a Baker

Chapter 8

Harry woke up with Louis laying on top of him and all he could do was smile. He lay there gently playing with Louis' hair before his phone started ringing. He mentally groaned and sat up a little to reach it, gently pushing Louis away.

He picked up is phone.

Why in the hell is Niall calling me so early in the morning? 

Harry answered the phone and immediately pulled it away when Niall yelled, "WHERE ARE YOU!?"

"What are you talking about mate? I'm at home. In bed. Sleeping. Or trying to at least," Harry replied.

"Well your late. It's already 7. Liam and I wanted to surprise you by showing up today and you're not here. You've never been late a day in your life," Niall said.

"Shit!" Harry yelled, rolling out of bed and grabbing clothes before he remembered Louis. "Louis! Louis. You got to get up Boo we're late," Harry said running over to shake Louis awake. 

"Louis? Who's Louis? And why does it sound like he's in your room or something? What's going on?" Niall said over the phone. 

"Shit," Harry had forgotten about him. "Sorry Niall. I'll see you in a few!" he said franticly and hung up. 

Harry put the phone in the back pocket of the jeans he had some how managed to put on one handed. He looked over at where Louis had jumped up and started putting his clothes on too. 

When the two where done they ran down stairs. "We can eat something when we get there, but right now we have to go," Harry said while they were putting their shoes on. "The crew gets there at 8 and we still have to open shop," he mentioned as well. Louis mumbled an okay and they ran out to Harry's car and drove off, both sighing when they finally arrived at the bakery. 

The rushed inside to find Niall and Liam sitting at a table drinking tea. "Finally," Liam sighed. The stood up to give Harry hugs. "I missed you guys," Harry said. "Puh-lease," Niall said dramatically, "we were only gone for a week." 

Louis cleared his throat uncomfortably, still standing closer to the door. "Oh! Sorry! Louis, these are my best friends Niall and Liam," Harry said pointing to each of them. Louis noted how Niall's hair looked dyed blond. "Guys, this is Louis," Harry finished.

"Wait so this is the 'Louis' you were sleeping with!?" Niall said surprised, "I totally ship it!" He then said, jumping up and down. "I think I'm gonna call you guys..." Niall paused to think, "Larry! Yes, that's perfect!"

"Niall, calm down it's not what you think," Harry said glancing over at Louis who still hadn't said anything. "We ran into each other last night and I hadn't wanted him to walk home in the rain, so I offered for him to stay at my house for the night."

"Hmmmm? Then why did it sound like he was in your bed?" Niall asked.

"How in the world did you get that much from a 3 minute phone conversation?" Harry asked.

"You're not denying it," Niall teased and Harry sighed. Louis rubbed his arm and hugged himself. He didn't want Harry to give his secret away. 

"If you must know," Harry started, "The heating doesn't work in my guest bedroom and I didn't want Louis to freeze. So yes, I did let him sleep in my room." 

"Wait. Are you that famous actor?" Liam said looking up from his phone where he must have been on the internet. 

"Yes, I am," Louis answered. "I'm starring in the movie we're filming here. Which speaking of," he looked at Harry, "Don't we have to get ready?"

"Yes. We do," Harry answered. "Liam, Niall. You two start in here while we change," Harry said ushering Louis to the back room.
