It's Only Harry...

Chapter 9

*Wednesday Morning*

The sound of my annoying alarm began to wake me up. My life turning around quickly as I have decided to get a job. I guess I better get used to this. Turning off the alarm and noticing the time, my alarm had been going off for 5 minuets. It didn't really matter because I set the alarm for 8. Finally getting out of bed, I strolled to the shower room. Undressing and putting my clothes down the laundry shoot, I hopped into the shower. Letting the hot water relax my tense muscles from the deep sleep I had that night. Washing my hair, body, and face I eventually had to get out, knowing I was wasting time. I quickly brushed my teeth, I was thankful that the drive to the bakery was only a 5 minuet drive. Putting on the outfit I had set out the night before and grabbing my phone I started down the stairs. My mum was awake and made me some toast with Nutella. My mum knew me so well and it brightened my day, putting a smile on my face. I quickly kissed her cheek, "I love you" 's being exchanged before I exited the house. Starting the engine to the Range Rover, I took a deep breath not entirely ready to have a busy life again.

***After work(5:15pm)***

Luckily Lou was my trainer, so I had a fun day at work. He taught me what he supposed to, but we didn't hesitate to have our stupid moments. I texted Nichole every so often just to check up on her; how her day was going. I followed Louis to his flat so that we could have our little catch up that we'd discussed yesterday. We didn't intend on it being today, but what the hell. Won't hurt to kill some time, aye? I informed my mum of the situation as well as Nichole. She suggested to come over with food, and that didn't stop me nor Louis for rejection. I hoped that I could catch up with him before she got here just to give with the 411 of me and Nichole's current relationship. Parking outside his flat, I met him already inside in basketball shorts and shirtless.

"Aye mate, mind if I strip as well? I can see how your daily life is rough." I greeted walking into the flat stripping my shoes and shirt.

"I don't know how Nichole will feel about that."

"Me and her are back onto good terms." I paused. "Maybe better than good." I smiled.

"What do you mean by that?" He replied, curiosity in his tone.

"Well, I finally built up the courage to tell her how I feel and I guess she feels the same."

"And that leaves you where?"

"I've pondered on the situation, but you and I both know how I am with girls. I don't want her to be another one of those girls. She's to innocent and perfect for that. I couldn't stand to see her broken. I explained that to her and thankfully she understood. I wouldn't be able to be happy if she didn't." I spilled to my best friend.

"I'm glad that you weren't only thinking about yourself Harry, your growing up. Come give poppa Louis a big hug!" He gushed.

He ran towards me with his arms open, squeezing me into a tight hug. Sometimes I wonder why he was never born a girl. Enticing me as close as possible I started losing air.

"Lou.....tooo.....tight" I stuttered out.

He let go and we shared a laugh. No longer after that goofy bromance, the gate bell rang notifying to let Nichole into the building to come up to the flat. I unlocked the gates and the door so she could walk right in. I followed Louis back into the living room and sat next to him on the couch. I got so focused onto the telly that I didn't notice the front door open or Louis get up to answer it. The calling of my name from the kitchen finally caught my attention. Entering the kitchen, I noticed Nichole look up at me. Not only did she look at me but stare at my fairly toned body. When she perceived me looking at her, she blushed so hard and turned to carry on her actions grabbing plates from the cupboard. Louis and I glanced at each other sharing a laughing smile as we both seen her embarrassed from her stare. As she set the plates on the island making eye contact with me, I cheekily winked at her adding the cheeky smirk that made girls flustered. I know it had that effect on her, but she did a great job not showing it physically, but mentally I'm sure it was killing her inside. Putting the food on the island, she allowed us to dig in. I watched her as she walked around taking a seat beside Louis. I was a little upset with her actions, but I'm sure we'll have better moments than just eating together.
