7. Tea, pizza and hugs

Chapter seven

I still stood there frozen, watching the door Louis just had disappeared trough.

I didn't know what to do so I just went to sit on a spare table, staring at the wall.

"Hello sexy what can I do for you?", the waitress, who hit on me earlier asked as she approached me.

"I'd like a... Uhm...", I quickly looked at the menu on the table. "An English breakfast tea please"

I didn't even bother looking at her properly.

She nodded and left to tell the bartender my order.

I saw the door behind the counter swing open and Louis came out carrying a, I presume, heavy tablet.

He brought two of the drinks to two younger girls and a, what looked like a coffee, to an older looking man.

He still had a cup in his hand and he took a look at the piece of paper lying on the tablet and slowly walked towards me.

His whole face lit up when he saw me sitting at the window.

"Here's your tea, can I bring you something else?", he asked me tugging the tablet between his torso and his biceps. I noticed that he had really nice upper arms. Ok Harry you're not a girl stop being a fag, I thought to myself.

"No, but can I give you something like a ride or walk home?", I wrapped my fingers around my cup of tea.

"That'd be nice", he shot me a crooked smile. "I finish my shift in", he looked at the clock on the wall, "about 15 minutes"

"My tea has to get cooler anyway", was I just flirting with a guy?

"See you soon", he winked, turned around on his heel and walked off.

Wow he's got a pretty nice bottom. That's a real tasty bum. Why the actual fuck am I checking out a guys butt?! Oh god I'm mental.

15 minutes later

I saw Louis coming up to me with the bill in his hand.

"Card or cash", he asked me and grinned cheekily. This boy is amazing wow, shut up Harry.

"Cash", I gave him a 10 pound note (a/n idk a lot about British money so don't judge if I get shit wrong).

He nodded:"I'll be right back with your change sir", and disappeared again.

I looked out of the window and looked at the old shabby flower shop across the road. An older woman was just sorting out the little palm trees in front of the store.

I heard a slight cough next to me and turned my head only to look straight into a pair of gorgeous blue eyes. I couldn't stop staring at these eyes, they were like a door to a new world, a good world, a world of peace, love and safety.

After a while of Louis and I having a little 'moment' he backed away and I could literally see this little clockwork clicking in his brain as he was in deep thought.

"So are we leaving now?", he asked me placing a hand on my arm.

I stared at his hand touching my skin, making me feel a tingly feeling in my stomach slightly going up into my chest.

"Y-yeah", I hated this, I wasn't supposed to feel like this, all nervous and jumpy and that even around a boy, I wasn't gay. I am not gay, I thought to myself repeating the sentence often.

"Uhm... So basically... Is your place far away from here?", I asked him biting my lip, while he lead me out of the cafe.

"It's about a 20 or 25 minute walk, but if you'd rather go by car?", he looked at the ground.
