Then You Came Along (L.S)

Chapter 8 🌻

"Have you got everything ready to go?" Liam asked Louis over breakfast. "Yes I'm all packed, but aren't we setting off later this afternoon?" Louis had woke early to make sure everything was packed ready for their trip back home later that day. He hadn't mentioned to Liam and Zayn that he had plans for lunch yet. "Around 3pm i think, was thinking we could have a lunch here and then head back."  We was currently staying at Liams parents. 

"Woud  you mind if i skip lunch? I've made plans to meet Harry." Both Liam and Zayn look up at Louis with raised eyebrows. "Its not like that, we got on really well last night and he was telling me that he doesnt really get out since his wife left and he's been busy with work. Just thought it would be nice, that's all." The boys continued to look at him, redness now spreading across his cheeks. "Am I not allowed to have friends without you thinking im after dating them? Im going getting showered" he sighed as he got up from the table. 

 Louis - Hi Harry, we still on for lunch today? 

He honestly thought that Harry was a great person and genuinely thought lunch would be nice. Did he think Harry was attractive? Yes. But that didn't mean they couldn't get on. He was a little miffed at his friends reaction. 

Harry -  Hi, yes looking forward to it. See you at 12 

Harry was ready to go when he recieved a call from Niall.

"Hey, whats this about you going out for food and not inviting me?" He joked. Harry laughed apologising for this and explaining how this had only been mentioned late last night. "Nah it will do you good Harry mate. I'll speak to you later." 

Harry checked his hair that was tied back in a bun. He was feeling a litte tired still after last night so was going with casual. Black skinny Jeans and a grey jumper.  The food would make him feel better at least.

Once at the restaurant, checking his phone to see if Louis had arrived he was greeted by a tap on the shoulder. Louis had just walked in behind him, this making him jump a little and almost dropped his phone. "Oops" he said whilst managing to stop the phone falling from his hands. Louis laughed at Harry's clumsiness. "Hi" he said with a smile, "great timing."

They had been chatting almost two hours when they relised that it was getting close to Louis having to get back. They'd discussed everything from work, families, past relationships and their future plans. Harry felt very comfortable talking to Louis, it felt like they had known each other for years, when in reality it has been less than twenty-four hours. 

"Well I best get back before the boys call a search party." Louis said with a sigh. "Stay in touch yeah? And if you're ever feeling down or bored reach out." Harry looked up with a smile making his dimple pop, "I will yes, definitely." They walked out of the restaurant together before saying their goodbyes, Louis reaching up throwing his arms around Harrys shoulders givinge him a hug before they both went their separate ways. 

Later that evening once the boys had returned back to Doncaster Louis had decided to have a shower and an early night. Saying goodnight to Liam and Zayn he took himself off to his room. Sitting on the bed he couldnt stop thinking about the tall curly haired guy with sparkling green eyes. Picking up his phone from beside him and staring at the blank screen, should I text him, maybe hes busy, maybe he will think its strange? He put the phone back down on the bed and decided to shower.  Once under the hot water he hung his head feeling the warmth run over him. I cant have a crush, hes just out of a long relationship, he's still married for crying out loud, thoughts running through his head. And I'm definitely not his type, he said out loud with a sigh. Nope aint happening, we are friends and I'm more than happy with that, he reasures himself.

Harry was currently sat on the sofa under a huge blanket all cozy with a glass of red wine watching re-runs of friends. Laughing at Joey and Chandler whom where currently playing with their new reclining chairs. How he missed having someone around. The house always seemed more quiet in the evening. Especially since he'd had such a amazing weekend with friends old and new. He'd not laughed so much in such a long time and now everything just felt empty and quiet. Niall was out with work this evening so he hadn't called round. He looked at the phone at the side of him picking it up and looking down at the blank screen. Should I text Louis? He thought to himself. Would he think it strange? He had said to to stay in touch but its only been six hours.  He had really enjoyed Louis company, he felt so comfortable with him, they had shared so many stories and laughed and almost cried together today. He decides to open up messages and after a moment 

 Harry - Hi, did you get back ok. Just thought id message to see how you was. Although i know its only been six hours haha 

*Delete*

Why am I worrying about this? He thought to himself. 

Harry - Hi Lou, just checking you got back ok. Thank you for lunch this afternoon. Had a great time.
