Harry Styles, Chapter 10

Harry Styles, Chapter 10

     Louis' hand was in mine while we walked home from school, the boys' had stayed after in Louis' drama class to help Aubrey clean up the classroom. This wasn't something unusual actually, they've done this before for Aubrey. The sun was starting to set, the sky had a palette of purples, blues, and pinks. Louis squeezed my hand to get my attention as we were walking in silence, I looked at him. "How about we do something we've never done tonight?" He suggested. I got interested, "Like what?" He smiles a giant grin, "You'll see."

     I wonder what Louis has in mind? What have we not done? "It's going to be at night time and you don't have to dress up, okay?" He said to stop me, could he tell I was anxious? "Don't worry about it, I'll get everything together, just relax." I nod as he removed his hand from my cheek and intertwined it with mine again. Don't let me go, Lou. I will never let you go, not again. I promise.

     We put out coats up and Louis told me to go make us some lunch, I nodded as he gathered whatever we needed. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some cucumbers, mint leaves, and some lemon. I filled up a class with cold water and put it in the fridge. I peeled the skin off of the cucumbers then chopped them up in slices then cut the lemons into slices. I grabbed the glass of water that was now cool out of the fridge and then I put in the cucumber and lemon slices and the mint leaves. I put the glass back into the fridge. I'll grab a bottle of water myself when we begin to eat, but for now, I will make a grilled chicken salad. I grabbed the chicken out of the freezer compartment and put it next to the stove started to preheat the grill. I grabbed the pan and lightly greased the pan with oil. I put the pan onto the stove and put the chicken into it. I grabbed the pecans that were left in the cabinet beside the stove I put them in another pan for eight minutes and then after the time was up I set them aside. After that, I grabbed the blender and added, red wine vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, onion, mustard, salt, and pepper. I took the chicken off the grill and set it on a plate. I grabbed two plates and got the lettuce out of the fridge and laid it into the plates. I put the grilled chicken slices into each plate with the pecans and strawberries. I then poured some dressing onto each plate over the lettuce and toppings. I sat the plates onto the table and then grabbed Lou's cucumber, mint, lemon water, and my bottled water.

     "Lou," I called out, "Dinner's ready." "Okay, I'll be down in a minute." He called back. Soon Louis came down to join me and he said, "What's with the fancy water, Haz?" He sat down and I chewed what I had in my mouth. "You don't like it?" I ask. "Um no, Harry. I was just asking why?" "Oh," I say, "I went online yesterday and it said that it was good to help your metabolism and I just thought you'd like it." He took a drink of it, "I like it, stop worrying so much." I smiled. He began to slowly eat his salad, I could try he was trying to not eat the grilled chicken, but he did take a few small bites out of it. As I had finished everything except for some lettuce, Louis left a lot of the chicken and some pecans, at least he ate. I smiled at Louis as I cleaned my plate and dried it with my dishcloth. "I'm finished." He chimed. I looked at his plates and he had eaten some more of his chicken, I smiled. I scrapped the rest of it into the trash can and then washed the plate while Louis added the finishing touches on our date. I then dried them off and sat them into the cabinet. 

     Louis rushed down the stairs and then he said, "Follow me."  He reminded me of Peter Pan, I was Wendy and we were about to go to Neverland and we were going to meet the lost boys and meet mermaids; we were going to defeat Captain Hook. He led me up the stairs and into our bedroom, our window was opened. I was suddenly confused as he led me towards the window. He then walked out and onto the roof, I was still confused, but I went along with it. It was dark out and I could barely see, yet I was on top of the roof with my boyfriend. "You probably think I'm crazy." He says. I nod and look him in the eyes, "Yeah, I do. You're entirely bonkers, but as Alice said to the Mad Hatter, all the best people are." "You're cute, you know that right?" He asked as he sat down on the roof and covered himself up with a blanket. I sat down beside him and said, "You're beautiful." I laid down and looked at the stars, I pointed up saying, "Big Dipper." Louis then laid down on my chest and then he said, "How long is forever?" I look at the beautiful stars above me and reply with the same Alice in Wonderland reference, "Sometimes just one second." 

     They stared at the black sky with the glistening specks of silver, most of the time they were quiet, why? They enjoyed the tranquility that they felt when they were with each other. I played with the tips of Louis' feathered hair. After a few seconds of looking at the clear sky with diamonds, something caught Louis' attention. He sprang up and pointed, "Harry! Did you see that? A shooting star." He looks so amazed and childish, his eyes were lit up like a Christmas tree. I smiled at him, "Yes, I know. Are you going to make a wish?" Louis nods and asks me, "Are you?" I nod my head and together we both closed our eyes. I wish to be the best boyfriend to Lou that I can be and to stay with him forever. Hopefully, our forever is for more than just a second and is for infinity. Then Louis tackled me for a kiss, I kissed back and I smiled at him as he cuddled closer into me. Soon I heard soft snores escape his lips and the last thing I saw before going to sleep was Louis, my shooting star.
