They Just Don't Know You

Woke up a bit early today- sleepy- but here you go!

What did you guys think of Marathon week? Did you like all of the updating? Can't believe I actually did a full week. Wow! Enjoy!

Chapter 27:

LOUIS

"Hey." Harry greeted as he answered the door. He had a wide smile on his face, and it made my heart burst with butterflies. Seeing him happy always made me feel so alive. It was one of the reasons why I knew I could never give Harry up.

"Hello." I said, stepping forward and kissing his cheek as he let me inside. He shut the door behind us and I spoke up. "So, I'm guessing the visit to the orphanage went well?" I knew it would because Harry was just impossible to hate or even dislike. Only people with cold hearts would lie and say they hated him.

"It was amazing! The kids are actually really great. When I first got there they had tons of questions to ask me. It took a bit of a turn when one little girl asked me if I was in love with someone." He said, and I smiled at him.

"And what did you happen to say?" I asked, turning my body to him and pressing him against the wall. He blushed a bit, a smile spreading on his features as I touched our lips together, not kissing him, but lingering there.

"Well, if you must know, I said I was. Very much so." He responded, and I laughed before kissing him. I would never ever get tired of kissing Harry. His lips were so soft and sweet, and I loved the way our lips molded together in such a familiar dance.

We broke apart, and he looked down at the ground. "I told them I had a boyfriend." He said, and my heart ached at the thought, knowing that wasn't me. "I had to explain to them that it was okay for a boy to be with a boy, or a girl with a girl. Then I was asked a question by Avianna, the little girl from the store, and she asked if I loved my boyfriend."

That shocked me a bit. Usually a kid would assume that, so the fact that this little girl asked him that was interesting. Still, I stood in silence and listened to Harry continue. "I only said it was complicated, but I think she knows more about things than she lets on. Everyone says she's a bit slow, but I feel like she's a better learner than everyone there. Maybe not about school work, but definitely about life."

"She sounds lovely and definitely smart. It would be nice to meet her if I ever got the chance." I said, kind of wanting to get a chance to speak to this little girl and try to understand how she thinks. It wasn't really like most little kids.

"That would be incredible! You should visit on a day that you don't have to work. I'm sure the kids would love you!" He said, sounding so excited about it, but I frowned, knowing that kids were never my thing. I haven't associated with any in a long time, and I never had much of a childhood. Plus, with the kidnapping on my record, even stepping foot in there was probably a problem.

"Haz, I can't." I said, feeling bad as I watched his smile fall from his face and he frowned as well. "I'm not exactly innocent like you are. I doubt they'd even let me step foot in the place. Sorry, love." I comforted him, kissing his forehead and wrapping my arms around his waist.

"They don't have to know." He said, and I smiled at that, knowing that Harry had a bit of a dare devil in him, but I wouldn't cause him trouble because of me. It would be way too risky to do.

"Yes, they do, Haz. You know they do. It would only cause you to get into trouble if they found out about it afterwards. That's the last thing I want." I said honestly. If I was going to keep Harry close and not push him away, I was going to have to think about this sort of stuff- not getting him in trouble or upset.
