Tempting Styles

Chapter Nine

*Louis's pov*

I tried to flip the already burnt eggs on the frying pan, but it was way too early for me and I ended up spilling half of it on the kitchen floor. I groaned and placed the pan in the sink as I gave up on cooking myself a proper breakfast. I decided to have cereal instead and I reached into a top shelf, pulling a box of Special K down. Special K, the best way to start the day! I thought cheerily as I filled my bowl and drowned them in milk. As I finished off my cereal, I heard the shower turn on in the bathroom and knew Harry was awake. I waited for him in the kitchen and he soon walked in, in nothing but a towel. He walked over to the bowl of food we kept on the counter and grabbed a banana, before leaning against the sink and looking at me. "Good morning!" I greeted him.

He nodded his head and smiled, finishing off his banana and tossing the peel in the bin. "Morning BooBear," He answered once he had swallowed. I looked him over and though he looked fresh from the shower yet he didn't look like he had gotten much sleep.

Concluding that something was bothering him and had probably kept him awake last night, as he had come home quite early and alone (meaning that he couldn't have been awake for other reasons) I decided to ask him, "Is something bothering you?"

"Yeah kinda... I laid a girl in the bathroom of a club yesterday." Harry flipped his wet hair, and I wondered how that could be a bad thing. "I was pleased with myself." He continued and by this point I was utterly confused, why is this bothering him? I thought. "But then I saw Dru when I was coming out, and she was so cute and the sexual frustration just came right back." He finished and sighed looking unhappy.

I immediately noticed that Harry's choice of words to describe Dru had changed. He had called her 'cute' for the first time instead of 'hot' and I wondered if it meant anything. I was aware that he had denied having a crush on her, but for some reason I just didn't believe him. Come on, who calls the person they want to screw 'cute'? I thought, besides he talked about her too often and even when he didn't I knew she was on his mind. Never had a girl kept Harry so 'sexually frustrated' as he calls it. I just call it a crush. "So the frustration is keeping you up at night?" I asked.

"I guess..." He answered, but I tuned out while he continued talking. I knew very well that Harry would never admit to actually liking her if he did, therefore he needed encouraging. I smiled to myself as a plan quickly formed in my head. I am a genius, I thought and felt like I almost deserved a pat on the shoulder for what I had just thought up.

I felt my stomach grumble as Louis pulled me into Starbucks. I was extremely hungry since I hadn't had a bite of food for about an hour now, so we all decided to go to Nandos. Louis had told the other boys to go ahead as he had to do something. I was okay with that, until he dragged me along!

We approached the big counter and I checked my watch feeling more impatient by the minute and just wanted to fill myself with food from my favorite place. I could literally smell the Peri Peri chicken just waiting for me. Why are we even here? I wondered, looking around.

"Hello Dru!" Louis greeted a waitress with a big bear hug. I looked up remembering the name but not being able to recall her face. She smiled at us, and I was shocked that I had forgotten such a pretty girl. I quickly thought back to how I knew her; Harry! I thought and tried to suppress a chuckle at the memory of his face when we embarrassed him in front of her. I was still wondering why we were here and not at Nandos with the other guys. What was Louis up to?

"Hi guys! What are you doing here?" She questioned Louis. She was still smiling a genuine smile at us and patiently waiting for Louis to answer.

"I was wondering if you'd like to join us for lunch?" Woah! I thought as he invited her. Didn't know we were this close to her. Her face scrunched up a bit, and she looked like she was thinking the same as me, however she quickly cleared her expression.
