Chapter 9: Meet me later

Chapter 9:

"So how'd it go Curly?"

Harry stopped abruptly and turned around. Leaning against the wall, he could just make out the shape of Louis, leisurely lighting a cigarette. He quickly hurried over, heart fluttering a bit at the sight of Louis. Harry nervously stood to face him.

"...hi Louis....how have you b-" Harry started but broke off his sentence in a coughing fit as Louis blew smoke in his face.

"Sorry cupcake! Toughen up a bit!" Louis smirked and took an even longer drag. Harry frowned. Louis just smiled back.

"So how long did it take you to say you were gay?" He asked calmly as he rolled the cigarette between his fingers.

"Those are bad for you Louis... and don't you think you should be a little more private? There are still parents and kids on campus." Louis laughed at the comment and blew smoke towards Harry. Harry just rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you gonna put it out? Did you hear what I said?" Harry said exasperatedly.

"Yeah I heard you. You want us to be a little more private, eh?" Louis said, lowering his voice and taking a step off of the wall. Harry blushed and shook his head.

"No I didn't... well I meant..." Louis blew smoke in his face for a second time to cut Harry off. He stood on tiptoe so he could reach his ear and chuckled lowly.

"If you want me to take my clothes off, you should just come to the beach with me tonight." Louis pulled back and smirked at Harry's innocent and shocked look.

"The beach? On a SCHOOL NIGHT?" Harry paled at the thought. 'What will my teachers think if I'm late to class tomorrow morning? But a night with Louis.... What if I don't make it to see tomorrow morning? What if I die in a fiery fangirl explosion? I won't be able to see Grimmy again!

Wait.... OH MY GOD GRIMMY!'

Harry looked down at his watch and then back at Louis who was eagerly awaiting a response. Harry's absurd worry began to kick into overdrive.

"Louis I'm so sorry I was meant to meet Grimmy- er- Nick like 25 minutes ago he's gonna worry about me and I can't just ditch him there."

Louis frowned, but caught himself and stood up from the wall.

"Oh no it's fine, mate go find him. I'll see you later then? Meet you at the volley nets at 8."

With that, Louis blew a flirty ring of smoke in Harry's direction before walking to the dorm door, tossing his cigarette on the ground for good measure; less than a foot from the trash can.

Harry shook his head, picked up the cigarette and placed it carefully in the receptacle before rushing off to find Nick and tell him of the past few hour's events.

{A/N: Sorry this is so short guys, I'm updating later today or this week to make up for it (: }
