Cupcakes, Cuddles & Curls

Chapter 7

"W-what?" Harry stops in the doorway shocked

"Stay... umm I would like it if you could stay and hangout for a while... I mean we could watch movie for something. I just I don't know... it would be nice to hangout with you just one on one. No friends, no small child. Just you and me. I mean we don't have to if you don't want I just ummm... I ye-" Louis rambles are cut off

"Lou you are rambling, breath love. I would love to stay and spend some time with you." Harry says stepping back into the house taking Louis hand in his to help the boy breath. "Yeah?" Louis smiles. "Yeah" Louis finally lets out a breath of relief. Harry was staying and the worst part of asking him to stay was over. Now he could do what he has been wanting to do since he met the boy... get to know him.

"Okay lets go back to the living room. What movie would you like to watch?" Louis asks guiding Harry back, his hand placed gently on Harry's lower back. "Um I'm up for anything. We could also put on a show that way we could maybe talk too, because I really want to get to know you better Lou." Harry blushes. Adorable Louis thinks. The boy next to him is absolutely adorable and making him blush maybe one of Louis new favourite things to do.

"I love that Idea Curly. How does friends sound." Louis offers with a grinning face. "I love friends! Yes please." Harry grins nodding his head at Louis. "Me too!" Louis agrees. The two make themselves comfortable on the couch leaving half a foot gap between the two. Louis reaches over to the coffee table picking up the remote to the tv turning on friends. He settles back into the couch, letting himself relax.

"So Haz, tell me what is that textbook I see you reading every morning?" Louis asks turing his full attention to the curly haired boy next to him. Harry's eyes widen before he relaxes. "Oh I um I am in school for business, that cafe I work at is my great uncles. He wants to give it me when he retires, so now I am taking business classes every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. It's all online which is great, its also why I switched with Marry for the morning shifts." Harry explains. Louis eyes locked on Harry's face as he listen to the boy explain. His eyes are beautiful Louis thinks. The green is inviting, like a soft meadow where he could rest his head in. His curls a warm blanket to keep him safe in a storm.

"That's so cool!" Harry grinning at Louis excitement. "Um, I guess I never asked how old are you?" Louis asks. " 'M 21. I'll be 22 in February! How old are you." Harry giggles. " 'M 23, I will be 24 in December. December 24th to be exact." Louis grins. He loves hearing everyone's reaction to him being a Christmas Eve baby, its always different. Some give him an apologetic smile, others think its so cool. Harry is a wild card, the boy could go either way with his reactions to that.

"Oh how cute!  A Christmas Eve baby, it suites you." Harry coos. Well that was a different reaction, but not an unwelcome one, Harry is pretty adorable Louis thinks.

"I am pretty cute aren't I?" Louis teases, wiggling his eyebrows playfully at Harry. Harry erupts in a fit of giggles and Louis takes that back, he knows that Harry is adorable, yeah defiantly adorable. Louis watches Harry as his eyes rake across the room, examining every picture on the wall. His eyes locking on a picture of Louis holding Cassie the day that she was born face falling.

"You okay H?" Louis asks resting his hand on Harry's thigh. "Umm... You don't have to tell me, but um what happened to Cassie's mother?" Harry asks eyes widening with what he just asked when he sees Louis tense a little. "Shit sorry... shit I shouldn't have asked that I'm so dumb!" Harry whines hiding his face in his hands.

Louis slides closer to Harry and takes his hands away from Harry's face. "Hey, hey love it's okay you are not dumb, please don;t think that about yourself. I don't mind tell you at all." Louis reassures the boy.
