Keeping You Forever [sequel to Can I Keep You?]

Chapter 22

9 months later...

[ Liam ]

"Li I'm hungry!" Niall whined once again. He tugged on my arm and pout childishly.

"Seriously Niall? You're such a child. Stop moping and i'll feed you later. Right now, let's finish our tasks okay?" He nodded but pout some more. I shook my head and continue walking. We're here at the supermarket, buying stuffs that we'll be needing for our summer trip. Niall and Louis both came with me here while the girls went shopping for their swimsuits. Typical girls.

Louis soon came in our view. He's pushing a big cart with loads of different snacks on it. "Let's go grab some drinks then we're done. Where is it located anyway?" he asked.

"I know where it is." Niall answered. He walks in first with Louis and I following him. We turned on the right and Niall suddenly bumped into someone causing him to lose his balance. I'm quick to move and caught him before he falls on his ass at the hard floor.

"Ow! Watch where you're going mate." he growl at the guy in front of us. He looks familiar.

"I'm so sorry. I was just in a hurry. Sorry." he say in a low voice. "Are you okay?"

Niall nodded. "Yah I'm fine. Just be careful next time."

The guy shot us an apologetic smile while rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry again man."

He really looks familiar. I think I've seen him before. But where? I can't point it out yet.

"Nah forget it. Niall by the way." Niall outstretched his arm in front of the guy. The guy took it and smile.

"I'm Za---"

"Zachy!"

Our heads whipped to the guy strolling towards us and my eyes widen, almost popping out of it's socket.

It's....Harry.

It's been so long since I last saw him. 8 months? 9? I don't remember anymore.

"Curly! I told you not to call me that especially in public! It's embarrassing!" the guy Niall bumped into whine. But when Harry gave him a quick peck on the lips, his scowl turned in a smile. Harry smiled back and I think he doesn't notice our presence yet.

"Where have you been? The cakes are at the other side." Harry flicked the guy's nose.

He changed a lot. He's much fitter and broader now based on how his shirt clung on his body. I can even see tattoos on his arms and even on the skin under the thin fabric of his white shirt. He's also wearing a very tight black skinny jeans which is unusual to him. I've never seen him wear that kind of jeans before. His hair is not as curly as before but the waves are still there and he managed to styled it up in a quiff. He looks better now. So much better.

"By the way, I met new friends here Curly." Zachy (is that his name?) turn and smile to us. Harry follow his gaze and when he finally sees us, his eyes widen.

"Lili! Ni! Lou!" Harry shrieked. "Holy shit boys!"

"Language." Zachy punched Harry's arm playfully.

"Sorry babe." Harry chuckles. "How are you guys?" he turned back to us.

"I think it's us who should be asking that. How are you Harry Styles?" Louis spat in a hard tone. He's giving him a blank look and I understand him. Louis is really hurt when Harry leaves without telling us why. He just disappeared after that incident on my birthday. They were bestfriend so Louis' expecting that Harry would go to him but he didn't. He's worried sick about our curly friend and he really missed him but he's just so egoistic to admit it to us.
