Mr. Popstar

Chapter 3

"Cannot believe you ran into Harry Styles TWICE in the same day!" Niall exclaimed, on Louis' bed.

They were playing monopoly when Louis brought it up and now all the money was on the floor after Niall's outburst.

"Yes Ni, same day." Louis chuckled, collecting the 20 notes by his feet.

"That's just so hard to believe."

"Well he was still annoying." Louis huffed, giving up with finding the monopoly pieces and like shoving the board on his floor to make more room on the bed.

"And this whole thing started because he called you love. Girls would die to hear Harry say that to them!" Niall said shocked.

"It felt dirty. I didn't wanna feel like another prize for him." Louis explained.

"Do you ever think maybe he's not like how he appears on the radio and the TV." Niall asked, moving up the bed to sit next to Louis.

"No one just becomes a womanizer! You have to of done something and that's Harry's fault." Louis nodded.

"I guess." Niall mumbled.

"At least he apologized?" Niall shrugs.

"Yeah."

"Did it seem sincere?" Niall asked.

"What do you mean?" Louis turned to face his friend.

"The apology."

"Well I guess. I think maybe he wasn't use to be rejected I don't know." Louis says, getting frustrated at the end.

"And the £500 tip. I reckon Harry Styles had a thing for Louis Tomlinson." Niall teased and poked Louis' chest.

"Oh shove off Niall no way!" Louis smirked.

"Come on! Maybe he really likes you!" Niall laughed.

"You can 'ChAnGE HiM'" Niall laughed, making bunny ears with his hands which made Louis burst out in a fit of laughs.

Maybe Louis was being slightly over dramatic, with how he viewed Harry. When they first met Harry seemed very sweet and then at the restaurant, he became all confident and a little cocky but in a sexy way not an overbearing way. He had the perfect mix of personalities and Louis hated that he felt like all his fan girls.

.....

Two days later...

"Dad I really wanna give you this money!" Louis was in his home kitchen trying to convince his dad to take Harry's tip.

"Lou, I don't want you to worry about money or me! This is your money. Go out and spend it!" Mark ushered his son towards the door.

"But dad.."

"No buts! You need to take care of yourself too." Mark pointed a finger at him.

Louis's lips made a thin line and his eyebrows furrowed, he really wanted his dad to take the money but he was also wanting to check out the new book store in town.

"Whatever you don't spend, you can give to me. But please enjoy yourself." Mark kissed his son on the head and Louis headed out the door. He had on some black skinny jeans, a green puffer jacket, some black earmuffs and gloves, his slide on vans and had a small tote bag.

The walk to the town centre wasn't too long and the buses were constantly unreliable so he decided best decision was to walk. He had his AirPod hidden underneath earmuffs and was playing Marina and the diamonds.

....

The book shop was an old house, that someone renovated into a shop. So it still had that old place feel and look. Louis quietly walked in, the door already being open.

An old lady behind the counter smiled at him and Louis waved and smiled warmly before going to explore. Reading was of Louis' favorite hobbies. He could always get loss in a good book.

He read everything, fiction and non fiction, action, comedy, tragedy. He's read books from people like Dickens to Alice Oseman. But Louis' favorite type of book and the section he was looking through right at this very moment, was romance.

It's not that Louis was desperate for a boyfriend or anything, he just enjoys how unrealistic the books are. That's what he claims make them great.

"Hello excuse me, can you point towards your adult romance books please." A deep voice asked politely, since the shop was so small. Louis heard the voice and stilled.

It couldn't be.

He closed the book he was just reading and pointed his head out of the section and saw the back of Harry fucking styles.

How common is it to run into this man?

Louis had no options. There was a wall on one side of him and a Popstar on the other.

"Well hello again Louis." Harry smiled and leaned down a little to meet Louis' height.

Louis turned around so he was face to face with the man.

"Hello Harry." Louis simply stated, turning back around to look at his books.

"If I didn't know any better it seems like you can't bare to be away from me."Louis heard Harry smirk behind him.

He rolled his eyes and turned around.

Harry was now leaning again a book case, his white shirt rising slightly and he could see his fern tattoos.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've showed up at two places that I was already at." Louis stated matter of factly.

"How would I know you were here." Harry raised his eyebrow.

"I think it's the universe giving us a sign." He continued.

"I don't believe in that stuff." Louis shrugged.

"Don't need too. I've never run into someone quite so much in such a short amount of time. I think this is fate." Harry spoke.

"I think it's a load of bullshit." Louis nodded, holding his three books tightly and trying to walk past Harry.

"Hey!" Louis groaned when a book was swiped out of his hand.

"Romance? Didn't think you were into that?" Harry laughed, flipping through the book.

Louis snatched it back.

"I actually love romance!" Louis stated, eyebrows creasing.

"Yeah no, I can get lost in a good romance too." Harry said.

Louis scoffed.

"What do YOU know about romance?" He said disgusted.

"I'm quite romantic Louis, you haven't seen that side yet." Harry mentioned.

"And I never will, mostly because it doesn't exist." Louis mumbled the last part and walked over to the till to collect his books and then to go and find a white hot chocolate, he was originally gonna go home but he feels he deserves that.

Hope you enjoyed <3
