Louis looked at himself in the mirror of the steamy bathroom, eyes tired from the weekend. He'd been single for six months, His last relationship was rocky to say the least. Shaun was extremely jelous, hated Louis wanting to go out with Liam and Zayn without him. Would always make him feel guilty for wanting his own space. It had become very toxic and as the relationship continued Louis was less and less confident. He'd lost his spark. After months of persuasion, Liam and Zayn had finally convinced him to leave Shaun and offered him their spare room.
His confidence was getting better, he was starting to feel his old self creeping back, but he just wasnt completely there yet. He drew a smile on the mirror where the steam was still on the mirror and headed back to the bedroom.

He'd been snuggled under the duvet for a while, soft fairy lights glistening making the room feel cozy and warm. Thinking about his life now without Shaun, about how he felt safe but how he also felt very alone. He was very tactile, little touches, cuddles and holding hands were his favourite things and he missed them.
Rolling over deciding he needed sleep as he had an early shift the next day he heard a thud next to his bed. Reaching down to pick his phone up he noticed a notification.
Harry - Hi Lou, just checking you got back ok. Thank you for lunch this afternoon. Had a great time.
He read the message feeling a warmth grow inside him. He could never let on that the green eyed man made his heart flutter a little.
Louis - Hi Haz, we got home in good time. Liam drove whilst myself and Zayn annoyed him with very load singing. It was funny cause he kept telling Zayn that he would kick him out when we got home if he didnt shut up. That would never happen, they're so in love its a little sickening at times. I had a great afternoon too. Shame you're not closer we could have made it a regular thing. I love the boys to bits but i do feel like a third wheel sometimes ha!
Harry - Haha I bet he was pulling his hair out at you both. Yes well if you ever feel like a break from the loved up pair you can always come and visit here. Im rattling round in this place and i have 2 guest room's to choose from.
Thinking of that Jens coming tomorrow to collect the final bits from the house. That should be fun!
Louis - Im on an early shift tomorrow so if you need a rant after shes been you can call or message me. Im sure it will go ok though. Just stay strong.
And yes i might have to take you up on your offer. Only so much lovey dovey crap i can witness ha! I best get some sleep, contact me tomorrow and let me know how it went. Night Haz x
Harry - Night Lou, speak to you tomorrow x
Louis couldn't help but smile at the pet name, and if he went to sleep with the biggest smile and warmest glow then nobody needed to know.
***********
Harry jumped out of bed to the sound of his alarm going off. It was 7am, today was going to be a busy day. He continued with his usual morning routin. Coffee, walk around the park abd then more coffee before making his way to the work room. He had two dresses that needed to be completed and a final fitting later this afternoon. He had already collected the items Jen was calling for around lunchtime and had placed them in the hall. He really didn't want her to come in the house. Everytime she had called round she would tell him how great work was going and would constantly tell him how this was really the best decision for them both. He hadn't agreed and would almost beg for her to come back and try to make things work. But something had changed, he just couldn't be bothered with it all anymore. He didn't want to look at her never mind talk to her.
Harry was putting the final beads on one if the dresses when he heard the door. He had left the keys in so she couldnt just walk in using her own key's. He checked the time reading 1.32pm. Here goes, he sighed making his way to the door.
Harry took a deep breath reluctantly opening the door. "Hi baby," she greeted. Jen stood looking immaculate. Hair down with a slight curl, make-up complete with a pale pink gloss to her lips. "Are you going to let me in?"
Harry stood back, face of total confusion. "I've put your stuff there next to the bottom of the stairs, i'll help you take them to the car." Jen continued to stand at the door. "I wondered if we could talk," hopeful look on her face. "I've missed you." Harry continued to look in confusion, no words finding their way out. "Lets talk yeah?" Now walking passed Harry straight to the kitchen and putting the kettle on. As she was putting the coffee in the cups Harry walked in behind her, finally finding his voice. "What do you want Jen?" Stopping what she was doing she turned around with confidence and a beaming smile. "I'm ready Harry, I'm ready to try again."
