Mr. Popstar

Chapter 2

"Oh thanks you Louis!" Mark says happily as he sees Louis with his shopping bag.

Louis placed the bag on the countertop and huffed.

"Something happen?" Mark asked, as he placed the certain foods around the kitchen.

"No, no. Just really busy at the shops." Louis lied.

"Well it is mid day, can't expect no one." Mark joked and Louis gave his best half smile.

"Anyway, can you go help Lottie. We had a few more customers arrive." Mark asked.

"Of course." Louis smiled and grabbed his apron, happy something would distract him from the events half an hour ago.

.....

"Are we staying open late tonight?" Lottie turned and looked at Louis. They were both sitting cross legged on the restaurant floor, behind the bar. No one had come in, in a few hours.

"I think so, Dad said he wants Saturdays open til 12." Louis explained.

"God so late." Lottie yawned.

"Yeah I know. But we're doing it for dad." Louis encouraged.

"For dad." Lottie smiled and leant her head on her brothers shoulder.

"Do you think this place will last?" Lottie asked after a moment of silence.

"It's be struggle to keep this place open for a long time but the past few years have been rough. This place was our childhood, I don't want it to go." Louis mumbled.

"But.." Lottie says.

"But, it's not looking good." Louis huffed.

"We need a miracle really, something to draw the customers here. Having a restaurant in a town, that's not a tourist trap isn't ideal anyway." Louis huffed.

As Lottie was about to reply they heard the bell from the front entrance go. They both quickly made it onto their feet and Louis said he would go greet the customer.

Louis pats down his apron and quickly walked to the entrance.

"Hello welcome to -" Louis begins and stops when he sees who at the door.

"Hello again." Harry smiles.

"What are you doing here?" Louis scrunches his eyebrows.

"I need to eat. And this is the only restaurant open late." Harry explains.

Louis raises an eyebrow and looks Harry up and down. Harry didn't know his name, so it's not like he was being stalked. This was just a very annoying coincidence.

"Well, I guess I'll get you guys a table." Louis mumbles picking up two menus and then remembers Lottie.

Even though Louis can't stand Harry, if Harry Styles posted about being here it was 100% draw customers and this could be the reason his Dad's restaurant stays open. However if Harry meets Lottie he can kiss that goodbye.

"Uh Louis?" Harry whispered and Louis quickly came out his trance smiling.

"This way." Louis lead Harry and an older women with brown hair and a kind smile to a table for two.

"So here are your menus and can I start with drinks?" Louis asked, getting his notebook out and a pen.

"I'll take a white wine dear." The lady smiled.

"A lemonade please, Louis." Harry smiled and that when he noticed a slight dimple in the boys cheek.

"Lemonade, wait!" Louis mumbled.

"How do you know my name?" He accused, crossing his arms.

"Your name badge." Harry gave a huge grin and Louis rolled his eyes walking away into the kitchen.

As he walked in he saw his dad and Lottie.

"Did some hot guy walk in?" Lottie asked.

"What no, why?" Louis questioned.

"Your whole face is red." She giggled, Louis groaned and hide it face in his apron.

"Make these Lottie, I need to talk to Dad." Louis asked and pulled Mark into a separate room connected to the kitchen.

"You alright Louis?" Mark asked worries.

"I'm fine yes, it's just that uh." Louis began to stutter.

"Louis? I have work to get done." Mark tries to speed up his son's rambling.

"Well the customer that just came in, it's kind of -"

"HARRY STYLES!"

"Shit." Louis cursed and ran out of that room, then the kitchen and into the dining area to see Lottie had dropped the drinks that were currently all over her shoes, her mouth and eyes wide and she stared at Harry who looked a mixture between amused and scared.

"I'm so sorry about her!" Mark quickly apologized nervously.

"I'll go make you some new drinks straight away." He smiled and ran back to the kitchen.

"Got to say Louis, service here is interesting." Harry smirked.

"Oi!" The women he was with lightly slapped his arm.

"Don't listen to him darling, god the fames gone to his head." The women laughed and Harry blushed.

Louis smiled and as he did he realized how much the two looked alike. That must be his mother. At least one Styles was not incredibly annoying.

.....

After a very awful dinner as Louis would put it, finally the Styles were packing up to leave.

"You know even though the beginning was interesting, I really enjoyed the food and the service." Harry explains.

"Here's the bill. Have a nice night Louis." Harry hands him the black booklet and watched Harry leave before opening it.

"Holy shit." He gasped, the bill was paid for by card so that meant this £500 was his tip.

"How much food did they eat?!" Lottie exclaimed behind him.

"No they paid on card." Louis turned around holding £500 in one hand.

"This was my tip."

"Damn."

.....

Hope you enjoyed <3
