I love him (L.S.)

Chapter 15

Louis

The storm had passed, leaving the world outside fresh and quiet. I slowly woke up, still wrapped in Harry's arms on the couch. I looked at his peaceful face and smiled, feeling a rush of affection.

As if sensing my gaze, Harry stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled sleepily, tightening his embrace. "Good morning love." He murmured, his voice husky from sleep.

"Good morning Hazza" I replied softly, nestling closer. "Did you sleep well?"

"Best sleep I've had in ages." His fingers gently tracing patterns on my clothed back. "I think it's because of you"

I blushed slightly, my heart fluttering. "I'm glad" I said, resting my head on Harry's chest. We lay there in comfortable silence, enjoying the warmth and closeness.

Harry gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face and asked, "Did you sleep well love? The storm and all...."

I lifted my head slightly, meeting Harry's gaze with a soft smile. "I did, actually. Your presence made it easier." I admitted, feeling grateful for Harry's comforting embrace during the stormy night.

Harry smiled, his face still sleepy but radiant with warmth. "I'm glad I could help, love. You were shaking like a leaf last night. I was worried about you."

I nodded, feeling a flutter in my chest at the concern in his voice. "Yeah I was really scared. But you made me feel safe, Hazza."

His arms tightened around me, placing a kiss on my head. "You are always safe with me, Lou. Always."

We lay there for a little longer, basking in the warmth and comfort of eachother. Finally, Harry stirred, gently detangling himself from our cozy position. "I really have to pee, Lou" He said while he quickly jogged to the bathroom

I couldn't help but smile at his cuteness.

I heard the sound of the toilet flushing and water running. Soon he emerged, looking refreshed and more awake.

"Sorry about that babe," he said with a grin. "Nature called and I had to answer." I laughed shaking my head.

"Breakfast?" He asked pulling me up from the couch and we made our way to the kitchen, hand in hand. As we cooked well he cooked and ate, our conversation flowed easily. I couldn't help but feel grateful for this connection with Harry and the way he made me feel seen and cared for.

After washing the dishes, Harry turned to me with a sly smile. "You know, Lou, I was thinking....since the storm passed we should celebrate."

"Celebrate?" I questioned, chuckling.

"Yeah. I was thinking we could go on a date?" His eyes filled with hope.

My heart skipped a beat at that suggestion.

Woah. A date with Harry? Hell yea!

"What did you have in mind Hazza?" I asked grabbing a hold of his hand and starting to play with his fingers

"Well... I was thinking we could pack some food and go to the park? A picnic...."

"That sounds lovely H" I said still looking at his rings. He intertwined our fingers and kissed the back of my hand.

"Go get changes I'll get everything ready."

I came down the stairs wearing a blue short sleeved shirt and white shorts. Looks nice but comfortable at the same time.

I wanted to wear something like a crop top but I don't really know what harry would say about it. It would be embarrassing if he finds if weird or disgusting even.
