We're Only Getting Closer
Harry loved his Saturdays. He had a routine especially for Saturdays that he liked to stick to and today was no different. At 6 am sharp, he stepped out of his apartment on to the still sleepy and empty Edgware Road. It was still dark out but Harry loved this time of the morning where the world was still asleep but dawn was not too far off. He loved the silence of the still sleepy city, with no traffic, pedestrians rushing about their daily life or the busy cafes, restaurants and shops. There was only the occasional car that went by besides the garbage trucks and the street cleaners doing their jobs before the city came to life.
He stood for a moment on the sidewalk and inhaled the cold, crisp morning air into his lungs and exhaled slowly, feeling happy and relaxed. His mind was peaceful as was his soul and he appreciated the city being on pause for a while as it slept. Harry shivered. It was cold, the temperature must be somewhere below zero. He was glad that he had dressed up warmly in his white leggings, black Nike shorts, Randy's Donut gray hoodie, gloves and beanie. He decided to pull up his hoodie hood over the beanie. He pressed play on his mp4 and set off for his morning run, running the length of Edgware Road towards Marble Arch, then crossing the road into Hyde Park. The park was empty and shrouded in a wet, clingy fog that made the park look a little eerie. It was silent save for the crows that lived there, cawing loudly as they greeted the first light of another brand new day.
His feet pounded hard on the concrete walkways as he ran, music in his ears, heart pounding fast and furious in his chest. His mind went to Louis and he couldn't help the smile on his face or the fluttering in the pit of his stomach. Yesterday he had gotten his first blow job and it had been fantastic and he couldn't wait for Louis to do it again. He had also been very happy to get to spend a very domestic and quite normal evening with Louis, eating dinner and watching the telly. Harry chuckled to himself as he remembered Louis asking a million question about How To Get Away With Murder, then adding his comments which were mostly sarcastic. He had never imagined Louis to be quite so domestic and he probably wasn't. He probably had maids and servants to assist to him but yesterday he had been and that was all that mattered to Harry.
As Harry ran and the sky began to lighted up, excitement crept slowly into him at the thought of going to Louis' party tonight. He was equally worried and scared because this was a high society party and he knew he was nowhere near high society. His mind drifted to his closet and he cringed inwardly because he had nothing to wear that was mostly acceptable to this sort of party. He mentally stopped himself short because these parties tended to come with a dress code and Louis never told him what he should wear. Did he need a suit? But he didn't have a suit. Okay he could maybe ask Zayn or Liam to let him borrow one, if they were still talking to him. Harry made a mental note to call Louis and ask him what he should wear.
Harry ran on down North Carriage drive then cut across to West Carriage drive and over the bridge that cut across The Serpentine. The fog had lifted a little and he could now see the beauty of Hyde Park around him. The light of day was gray and he knew it would be another rainy day but Harry loved his winter. He came out on the south side of the park on the southern part of Kensington High Street, not aware that Louis actually lived in Kensington. Harry ran back on the roads outside of the park, taking his time to make the hour long run just in time to get him to Starbucks on Oxford Street which would be opening up by the time he usually got there and today was no exception. He pushed the glass door open, breathing heavily from his run but inhaling the wonderful aroma of coffee, which he badly needed. He walked up to the counter and was happy to see that Mitch was behind the counter. Mitch usually did the weekend morning shift and he and Harry had become somewhat friends.
