Louis POV

"Today's the day" I mumble to myself as I check my appearance again before heading out the door. I'd finally managed to sleep at around 1am, my mind full of nothing but Harry. If I had gone back to look at his Instagram again nobody needed to know.

"Good morning Anne" I greeted as I walked through the door. "Good morning sweetheart" she replied whilst taking over a coffee to one of the customers before walking over to me,  placing a kiss on my cheek. "You look tired, everything ok?" She asked. "Where do I even start" I sighed. Leaning back against the counter.

I could always talk with Anne, she knew pretty much everything about me. I had confided in her on many occasions, she was a good hear and a great shoulder when I needed to talk to someone.

I continued to tell her all about the events since Friday. "Oh I remember the handsome man, he was very pleasing on the eye" giving me a wink.
"Yes very" I replied with a smile before continuing.

"Well he'd be crazy not to snap you up, my love, you are so worthy of happiness. If it's meant to be it will be" she said placing her hand on my shoulder. "And if it's not, then sounds like you've had an amazing weekend. There's someone out there Louis. Be sure that when it's your time he'll come into your life and sweep you off your feet"

Kind of like Harry had on Friday, I thought to myself.

"Well he's coming in this morning before he leaves, I'm gonna get my calls done before he arrives" I tell Anne before making my way to the office.

Finally getting to the back of my emails and calls, my mind is back in the land of Harry. I don't think he'd arrived yet and I'd heard nothing from him yet today.
Maybe he decided not to bother. Maybe he thought it would be easier to just leave.

I made my way to the front, Mondays were a quiet day so it was just myself and Anne working today.
"Hey sweetie you all done?" She asked as I stood by the till. "I have, I don't think he's going to show" looking down at my feet.  "There's time Louis, don't get down, he'll be here" she said, trying to cheer me up a little. She continued to talk about her grandchildren, trying to take my mind of Harry when we was interrupted by the bell above the door. Not thinking much about it I glanced up to see who the next customer was, but I was taken back. My body overtaken by the warmth that spread throughout. There he was, looking as beautiful as ever holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
Both Anne and myself lost for words for a moment. My eyes pooling with tears.

"Go get your man" she nodded at me, pushing me in the direction of the the Tall green eyed man who stood before us.

"Hey beautiful" he greeted me as I walked towards him, still stood by the door

"Hey beautiful" he greeted me as I walked towards him, still stood by the door. "These are for you" he spoke softly, "thank you, they're beautiful Haz" "just like you" he said with a little giggle. "Yes that was cheesy" taking the flowers from him before finding a seat. "These are beautiful Louis" Anne came over taking the flowers. "Let me put these in some water  and I'll get you some drinks" we gave our order and continued to gaze at each other until she returned with two teas. "Thank you Anne, are you ok to hold the fort for a while?" "Of course I am Louis, I'll shout you if I need you."

"I thought you had changed your mind" I mumbled quietly. "I'm so happy you're here" he reached out to hold my hand. My small hand seemed even smaller in his, stroking his thumb against my wrist. "I was never not going to turn up, Louis you've turned my world on its head, I'm going to miss you so much" a tear making its way down my cheek. "I'm such a soft arse" i laughed as he wiped it away with his other hand.

"I'm being picked up shortly, he's going to make his way here and will phone me when he arrives" "Okay" taking a deep breath.

We make our way into my office, giving ourselves some privacy. Not wanting to be a blubbering wreck Infront of the customers.

Holding each other tightly, my head against his broad chest. "I could stay like this forever Lou" looking up towards his soft plump lips. "Kiss me"

His soft lips feeling amazing on my own, his tongue licking and gently biting my bottom lip, breath becoming heavy. Knowing we couldn't take it any further but savoring every moment.

We was interrupted by the sound coming from Harry's phone. "I need to take this" he said breaking contact.

"Hi, yes I'm here. I'll be out in five minutes."

"I need to go Lou, he's waiting for me outside the shop" both not wanting to release our hold on each other.

"I'll call you tonight okay, I promise you this is not over. I promise you that I want this so so much"

I nodded, breaking away from his hold. "We can make this work yeah. Like somehow we can do this can't we?" "We can Lou" reaching down to give me one last kiss.

I walked Harry to the front of the shop, watching as he climbed into the waiting van. He waved from where he was seated, slowly pulling away. I stayed outside the front of the shop until the van disappeared into the distance. Letting out a sigh, I made my way back into the shop heading straight for my office, wanting to be alone for a moment.
