The wait

Harry's POV

  It was decided that in order to sneak into the palace, I would go in through a back entrance that the staff usually used. Louis would send one of his butlers down to bring me up, since it would be suspicious of him to be in that part of the palace.

  I was so excited to see him, I had to wait all week since we planned to meet on the next Saturday. It was a struggle, i normally didn't even have that many friends, so the idea that someone would want to put so much effort just into seeing me was very flattering.

  I came up with a plan to say that I was staying at Zayns, my mother usually didn't question too much, but my sister is usually suspicious of me. Zayn promised to back be up and cover for me, he didn't ask many questions, he's just happy to go along with what I tell him.

  All through school that week people were talking about the ball. What they thought the prince thought of them and how they hoped he would be in contact with them. Little did they know I was the only one that had impressed him, I mean it went in like a romantic way but I still had gotten farther than most of these girls. This was a slightly odd way of thinking about it, as if this was a competition. You can have multiple friends and I as only trying to be his friend. Right?

Louis POV

  I was so anxious all week. I had my staff prepared for Harry's visit, they all knew what to do, I had it planned how to get him in but I didn't quite know where we'd go after. My room was the only place where my parents don't go but I felt that implied certain things, and it's not a great place for tea. 

  I could always reserve one of the living rooms in the palace but then my parents would what to know what for, there's always the lie that I'm bringing in some girl from that ball but that's a slight lie. Either way, they want the whole process of me finding and marrying a  girl caught on tape, if they thought I was going on some date they'd have news crews in there. Besides, this wasn't a date. I didn't even like him in that way, he's a guy, I'm a guy, that's not how this works. I was just making a friend, that's all. 

  

Harry's POV

 It was finally Saturday morning and I sprang out of my bed. Today was the day I got to see Louis again. I picked out my best outfit, if I'm going to the palace I better look good.

 My mom needed her car for work so  Zayn picked me up, I handed him the address and we left.

The palace isn't like right in the middle of the city of anything, it's kind of off in the countryside. People know where it is and can get to it, but not too many people  ( other than the press) bother.

"Why do you need to go to the palace?" He asked

I figured he deserved an explanation, considering he was taking me where I had to go, but this was slightly hard to explain.

"I'm meeting a friend" I said.

"And why is this friend making you meet him so secretively?" He responded.

This wasn't soemthing I had thought much about to be honest. I just figured since I wasn't as upper clas as the royal family that he wouldn't want to be seen around me, but it was like he was taking more caution than nesscary to get me in. And it's not like he couldn't leave his home. There were plenty of other places in town, of course he'd be flocked by the press but that doesn't matter all that much. I decided to ask him about this when I got there. 

  I was saved from having to answer because we had almost arrived at the palace.

"Wow this place is beutiful" Zayn commented. 

I too had forgotten how majestic this place was, it was very fitting for royalty.

Zayn dropped me off in the back and I was greeted by a guard.

 Side note:

Sorry it's been like a year since I've written anything, I needed to take a break because of school and then I totally forgot about all of this. The other day I got an alert that some people liked my story so I remebered that this all existed and decided to write some more. Also, I apologize for any spelling errors, I'm on my IPad and autocorrect gets messed up from all the strange things I type and I'm also really bad at spelling.
