Love Encounter

Chapter 3

{Louis' POV}

Harry is such a nice boy. He's not just nice but he's , well, he's beautiful. I've never felt this way just by thinking of someone. This fuzzy feeling in my chest and I feel so giddy with I don't even know but I love this feeling.

This can't be happening.

I'm straight.

I pushed the thought aside and carried on with my shift. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Harry though. Something about the way he talked and smiled was , well , nourishing in a way.

"Everything alright Tomlinson?" Barbara said. Her voice startled me.

"Y-yeah just um I'm so drained , that's all." I lied , although stumbling on my words.

Barbara gave me this look but shrugged and mumbled a small 'okay' and walked away.

This isn't right. I'm not gay. Am i? I can't be. I like women. Not men. And most specifically not Harry that's for sure.

I shook my head to rid my thoughts and looked up , only to find Niall and Harry long gone and a table left with only plates and empty cups.

I sighed but quickly ran outside to find only Niall standing outside the shop next door. I quickly ran to him and stood there for a moment.

"You alright mate?" Niall asked with this thick but soft irish accent.

"I was wondering if you could give me Harry's number? Not that I need to talk to him or want to ta-"

I was cut off by this hyena laugh and soon realised it was Niall laughing.

"Stop rambling and give me your phone" he said whilst holding his hand out for me to hand him my phone.

I quickly searched for my phone but realised I left it inside. So instead i handed him a piece of paper and the pen that i had held behind my ear.

He took the paper and pen and quickly wrote down the number. "You do know Harry won't be happy I gave you his number without asking him first right?" he said whilst finishing the last two digits.

He handed me the piece of paper and pen. I took it and put it in my back pocket of my jeans.

"Thanks" I said not realising I was blushing a little.

"Look at me! Ni the match maker!" he loudly announced whilst holding his arms up in triumph. Almost like he's accomplished something.

I chuckled a little but realised what he had said.

"Oh no i-it's not like that. I am n fact straight. But he's just.." i paused . "Nice" i finally said at last.

"Yeahhh and you're tall." he said sarcastically.

I opened my mouth to say something but I saw Harry walking out the shop and quickly ran back inside the coffee shop looking out the door watching a confused Niall and a oblivious Harry.

I let a breath of relief out and finished up cleaning the table that Harry and Niall were previously on.

Soon after that I dragged myself out of the coffee shop and waited for Zayn to come pick me up after work.

Zayn and I have this tradition where after he's done at the studio he comes pick me up after work and we do something spontaneous.

But somehow , today felt different. I just wanted to get home , get out of these clothes and call Harry. Which I was shocked about because I wouldn't have this much anticipation to even call Eleanor.

Oh shit. Eleanor.

It was our two year anniversary in a week and I had no idea what to do.

My thoughts were quickly interrupted by the God of all Gods : Zayn Malik.

"Hey Tommo , get on , I've got something planned for us" he smiled as I got in the car.

(Harry's POV)

I walked out the shop to see Niall looking back at the coffee place with a frazzled look on his face.

"You okay?" I asked in concern.

"Yeah , yes of course I thought I saw someone I knew" he quickly replied.

Something seemed off but I quickly shrugged it off because I had something much more important to tell him.

"Look Ni! I bought this necklace in the shop" I said , holding up the airplane necklace to his face.

I bought it because I'd seen that necklace before. Maybe on an advert or at some shop before but it had the numbers '28.09' engraved at the back. I bought it anyway because it was only £4 and it was at the small little thrift store next to the coffee place.

"Oh that's so nice Haz!" Niall said whilst grabbing it and almost dropping it because of course he would. He's Niall for God's sake.

"Give it back before your clumsy ass drops it" I laughed grabbing the necklace from him and quickly put it in my pocket.

"Let's go to my place and order some food . I'm feeling cozy today" I suggested and Niall took the offer because I'd pay.

"I could never turn down free food from Mr. Styles himself"
