Mystery Buyer (L.S)

Twenty-Five

Louis woke up lazily and pulled the duvet up over his head. He was not looking forward to today in the slightest. Not only did he regret agreeing to meet Parker to hear whatever it was he wanted to say, he also hated himself for not talking to Harry about it. He was just so stressed about Harry being worried and getting into more trouble by letting his fist break Parkers nose. He let out a small chuckle at that thought though, Parker with a broken nose would definitely make his day better. Just not at the expense of Harry of course.

Then after the nightmare or Parker, he would be hanging out with Fran. Of course he loved hanging out with Fran but this time she was upset about Brad and he just hoped he could give her good advise and support and make her feel better.

He reached his arm out if the duvet to grab his phone and unlocked it, staying under the covers the entire time. He grinned, bringing his hand upto his mouth feeling slightly shy as he read the message of Harry asking for a fit check photo.

*It's okay, work just sucks. I'm glad my stressed out and tired work face made your day better! Fit check incoming since you asked so nicely! X X*

Louis has crumpets and a cup of tea for breakfast, eating them pretty quickly before having a shower and getting himself ready. The anxious pain in his stomach reminded him that he needed to be at the cafe for 10am because he needed to get there way before Parker so he had time to talk to Fran about it.

He styled and dried his hair into a very very slight quiff but so that it was still long over his forehead before pulling on his socks and boxers and opening the wardrobe. Fit check, ugh. He needed to look extra nice for this, for Harry. He pulled out the cardigan first to decide on a top to wear with it. It was navy blue and obviously going to be abit too big on Louis in the arms, and probably in general actually, so he needed short sleeves. He pulled out a white sleeveless vest and tried it on with the cardigan, rolling up the sleeves and fastening the bottom three buttons. He liked it, first try. Maybe having Harry and Fran in his life helped his fashion sense more than he realised. He wore black jeans and his black high top converse and as always he wrapped and tied the laces behind his ankles.

He stood awkwardly in front of his mirror wondering if he looked as nice as Harry was hoping in the cardigan and grabbed his phone to check the time. 9.43am, shit he needed to leave like now.

*I'm going to be busy again today too, baby. Work's kicking my ass right about now. I hope you have a good day off, I'm sad I won't see you! Very much looking forward to seeing the fit check though ;) H X X*

Louis smiled and snapped a photo in the mirror, his free hand held upto his mouth because of how shy and nervous he was. One of the sleeves reached his wrist even though it was rolled up because of how baggy it was on him.

He smiled just a little on the photo before pressing send to Harry and then tried to not think about it. Not think about on if Harry would secretly hate it and wish he didn't ask for the photo and not think about not being able to see him today.

He'd been pinching the skin between his thumb and finger for the entire walk to the cafe. He was nauseous at telling Fran and the idea of seeing Parker. He was scared too. Parker hurt him in so many ways. That was why he mentioned somewhere public for meeting him today.

He pushed open the door and the bell dingled above his head as he walked in. He spotted the clock was 10.10am or there about. Fran gave him the biggest grin and waved from behind the counter as she was serving a customer. Man, it was busy in here today. He wandered nearer to the counter and stood at the side waiting for her to be free, and hoping it would be abit quieter by the time Parker got here. Currently there were no booths free, which he was hoping to have and he didn't fancy the entire cafe hearing their conversation. Whatever that conversation may be.
