Mystery Buyer (L.S)

Nineteen

Harry had sent a text to Kev asking him to come and get the bags from them before they headed to the pier. Louis had messaged Fran to let her know the plan and the four of them were standing in the entrance of the pier waiting for Kev.

Harry had changed from his wet shorts and was now wearing black skinny jeans but still had the purple shirt on although it was buttoned up half way again now and not fully unbuttoned. Louis didn't bother changing his jeans as they weren't too wet anymore from drying in the heat.

It was almost 5pm now but still pretty warm. Louis looked over at the pier taking in the lights and what rides there were. He hadn't been to a fair since he was a kid and wasn't actually sure whether or not he liked rides.

'Whatcha thinking about?' Harry mumbled in Louis' ear making him jump.

'Whether or not I'm too much of a wimp to go on the ferris wheel' Louis laughed a little as he spoke but he was being deadly serious.

'What about if I hold your hand?' Harry whispered that part as he discreetly wrapped his arm around Louis' waist.

'I might just about be brave enough in that case' Louis gave Harry a shy smile, leaning into his side slightly.

About 30 seconds later Kev arrived. He had moved the car and parked on the main road meaning the car was now only a few minutes walk away from the entrance of the pier. Kev picked up the cooler and all of Frans bags and Harry picked up his own bag and gestured to Louis to take his. Harry carried his own bag and Louis bag while Brad carried his own bag, leaving Louis and Fran waiting for them.

'So what's the gossip?' Fran spoke with obvious excitement in her voice.

'What do you mean?' Louis was trying not to smile too much as he spoke.

'I knew it!! Louis I'm your best friend and that means you have to tell me everything!' Fran was high pitched and squeaky at this point. 'Did you guys kiss?!'

'Mhm, we did' Louis smirked a little as he answered, a small blush filling his cheeks.

'Ugh, so cute. I'm so jealous!'

'You and Bradley kiss all the time?' Louis laughed.

'Yeah but you guys are SO cute. Like, I feel like I wanna explode! The way he hugs you and cuddles you and just touches you.'

'You're so dramatic'

'You're too calm..'

'I'm not calm, I'm a nervous wreck. He knows that though and tries to make me feel comfortable I guess..'

Fran was looking at Louis with wide eyes as if to say 'awww' and Louis just rolled his eyes.

The other three came back just as Louis was about to answer Fran again about not being so soppy but he just gave her a look instead. Brad came over to Fran, standing kind of awkwardly next to her, impatiently waiting for the rest to be ready.

'We good to go? Kevs gonna tag along with us this time' Harry asked, nudging Kev with a smile.

Fran and Bradley lead the way then Louis, closely followed by Harry who caught up to him so that they were side by side. Kev just followed behind them casually, looking in windows of the little stores and food placed and people watching.

As they walked, Harry and Louis' knuckles brushed together a little. After the third time, Louis glanced up to Harry only to see he had a smirk on his face. Louis nudged his shoulder against Harry's upper arm jokingly, realising that Harry was doing it on purpose, making Harry pretend to almost fall before coming back to Louis' side with a grin.
