This is for you MissyInbetween ♥️
"Aren't you tired of being single?" Liam questioned.
Louis shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure but I rather wait for the right one than date all the wrong ones."
"How will you know that you met the right one if you're not putting yourself out there? Dating is kind of the point of finding that one." Niall said in amusement while he took a big gulp of his Guinness.
They were out at the pub drinking a couple of beers.
A smile played on Louis' lips.
"Call me a hopeless romantic but I think destiny will make sure you cross paths with your soulmate or whatever. Two right turns to the left and there he will be, you know what I mean?"
Liam and Niall laughed.
"Two right turns to the left? What the hell does that mean?" Liam questioned.
"It means that I will meet him when I least expect it and the universe will make sure of it, no matter what." Louis tried to explain. He might be a bit drunk but he believed in what he was saying.
"So it doesn't matter if you're moving to freaking China or never leaving your apartment. He will find you?" Niall smiled in amusement.
"Yep. Maybe he's the cable guy, knocking on me door. Maybe he's Chinese?" Louis tried to argue.
"It sounds a bit unbelievable to me. Sorry, mate." Liam smiled.
"Wanna bet? I bet you if I flip a coin to make all me decisions from now on, one of those flips will make me bump into him. Destiny, me friends! Destiny!" Louis shouted the last part a little too excited.
Lian and Niall glanced at each other.
"The bet is on!" Liam said.
"Yeah, bit let's make it more interesting. Liam and I get to decide what you're flipping about. Let's say three times each day for a month. If you haven't magically found Mr. Right by them we win!" Niall suggested.
"Ooh, I like that idea." Liam uttered.
Louis rolled his eyes at them.
"Fine, why not? I'm in."
"We get to choose our prove when we win." Niall grinned.
"And I get to choose mine when I win." Louis smirked. He felt confident.
"Alright. Who has a coin?" Liam asked.
Louis searched his pockets and found a two-pence.
"I have."
"First one, go grab a burger at MacDonald's or go home now." Niall said.
"Really? That's how you wanna play it? Fine. The queen is the burger, the crown go home." Louis said.
He flipped the coin in the air. Liam and Niall followed the projection of the coin. Louis caught it with his right hand and placed it on his left hand and looked at it.
"Burgers! Thank fuck for that. Let's go."
They finished the last of their beers and headed to the nearest MacDonald's down the street from the pub. The place was packed and they got in line. Niall looked around.
"So, who could it be? That old man sleeping in the corner? One of those teenagers? A bit too young." He joked.
Louis took a look around as well.
"Nope, he's not here."
"And how do you know that?" Liam laughed.
"When you know you know." Louis shrugged.
"Right." Niall laughed and Liam joined in. They found this very amusing.
They finally got first in line and placed their orders and luckily the group of teenagers left so they got a table. They ate their food while Liam and Niall threw around ideas of what they would make Louis do.
"Pottery class? Maybe Louis' soulmate is the teacher." Liam suggested.
"No, I know! Sky diving! He could be the instructor." Niall grinned.
Louis wondered what the hell he had gotten himself into. It felt like a great idea at the pub. Now, not so much.
It was getting late and it was time to go home. They finished their burgers and threw away the trash.
"Louis, subway where you could find your mysterious stranger or a cab where he's the cab driver obviously. Flip!" Niall grinned.
"You're enjoying this too much." Louis muttered but he picked up the coin from his pocket and flipped.
"Cab."
"Alright, let's go." Niall smirked.
They managed to catch a taxi. The driver was a sixty-something guy from an Eastern Country.
"Better luck next time." Liam whispered as they took a seat in the back, leaving the front seat to Louis.
He had a nice chat with the taxi driver as they made their way through London. They shared the cost and headed into their apartment building.
Louis was about to step into his room when Liam stopped him.
"Not so fast. We have one left."
"Technically it's tomorrow now." Louis said.
"Oh no, you won't get away that easy. Hm... Let me think. Swipe right on the first two profiles on Tinder or swipe right on two of your own choice but you can only look at ten profiles." Liam said.
Louis let out a deep sigh but he flipped the coin. He grunted but took out his phone and opened the app. He hadn't used it in ages. He swiped right on the two first profiles and Liam and Niall giggled exhilarated.
"Good night asshats." Louis said and closed the door behind him. Then he realized that he hadn't even brushed his teeth and walked out again and headed to the bathroom. Ten minutes later he lay down in his bed and fell asleep immediately.
