Awkward

Part Three.

"He was so mean Zaynie, even when I tried to apologize. I didn't mean to mess up his photo." Louis whines. Zayn sighs into the phone.

"Babes, don't let it get to you. That guy is obviously a prick. Just go home, take a nap, then ship out those orders of flower crowns."

"Okay." Louis mumbles. "Are you coming over later?"

"I've got a date lou, remember? I told you about it last week." Zayn shakes his head.

"Oh right."

"Louis, don't-" Zayn starts.

"I'm not upset about it. Okay? It's with that Liam guy right?" Louis asks. He is a little hurt. He knows eventually they will find other people.

"Yea, with Liam." Zayn sounds almost sad, knowing his best friend is lying to him about being okay. "Louis, are you-"

"I gotta go. I see the guy from the park. He looks familiar. Anyway I'm going to go apologize to him. Bye Zayn. Have a nice date." Louis hangs up before Zayn can even say bye.

Harry mumbles to himself as he hooks his camera up to his laptop. He still can't believe that guy had just ran right in front of him as he took a photo. The nerve of some people.

Harry takes a sip of his smoothie as he opens up the file containing his photos. He begins to flip through them, deleting ones he knew he won't be using. He stops on the photo of Louis running and sighs. Just as he goes to delete it a voice startles him.

"Um Hi." Harry looks up then immediately looks back down, he has to try hard not to roll his eyes.

"Are you following me?" Harry questions, continuing to flip through his photos.

"No, of course not. I wanted to apologize, if you'd let me?" Louis questions, his palms beginning to sweat.

"Okay."

"I'm sorry I ran into your shot. I thought I had lost one of the kids and I just wasn't paying attention." Louis flushes in embarrassment.

"How many kids do you have?"

"I don't have any kids. I volunteer at an orphanage."

"Saint Mary's?" Harry says, finally looking up and wow. Harry wants, no, needs to photograph this man. His cheekbones. His eyelashes. His eyes, wow his eyes. He's perfect.

If I wasn't so busy being rude to him in the park I would've noticed sooner. Harry thinks to himself.

"Yea, that's the one." Louis smiles slightly, feeling awkward standing there. "Um anyway, I'm sorry again. Have a good day." Louis begins to walk away when a soft hand wraps around his wrist.

"Hey, um I am sorry as well. I got upset and was acting like ass." Harry speaks softly. Louis shakes his head.

"It's okay. You're forgiven and I hope I am as well." Louis nods once then turns to leave again. He takes two steps. Harry grabs his wrist, again. Harry really wants to photograph him.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did." Louis teases, lightly. Harry shakes his head, this is serious.

"Would you like to join me for lunch?"

Louis is confused. This guy was just upset with him and now he wanted to have lunch together.

"Are you sure? I don't want to-" Harry cut him off.

"Think of it as my way of apologizing for being an ass to you."

"Okay." He agrees, nodding a little before looking down at where Harry still held his wrist. "I should go order." Louis says awkwardly. Harry coughs and lets go of his wrist.

"Right. I'll be over there, join me when you've ordered." Harry walks back over to his table and closes his laptop. He sips his smoothie thinking of ways he can ask Louis if he can take photos of him. The last time he asked a stranger if he could take photos of them, he almost ended up in jail. Long story.

"So um my name is Louis. Louis Tomlinson." Louis starts feeling slightly awkward as he sits down across from Harry. He tears off a piece of the muffin he bought and eats it.

"I'm Harry, Harry Styles." Harry smiles, dimples appearing in his cheeks.

Louis' eyes widened a little, "You're that photographer. I have one of your photos saved as my background. Oh my god. And I ruined your photo. I'm so sorry, it would've been so beautiful-"

Harry cuts off his rambling, "It's okay. Can I see which photo you used?"

Louis nods frantically as he pulls his phone from his pocket and presses the home button.

"Oh, one of Cara. That's my favorite photo of her, her body is beautiful." Harry chuckles slightly, "One of the few times she let me photograph her naked."

"She's gorgeous. I love your photos of her." Louis flushes.

"Thank you. I do take beautiful photos." Harry nods, finishing his smoothie. "So tell me about yourself."

After nearly two hours of the two men talking, Louis laughing so hard he turns red and a small disagreement about whether Kale chips are good or not, Harry is sure he wants to photograph this man.

"Okay I have a question and it's okay if you say no. I'm just going to keep asking you until you finally say yes." Harry says with a small, teasing smile and a shoulder shrug. Louis rolls his eyes playfully and sighs dramatically.

"Okay Harry. Ask away."

"Would you like to be my next model?"

"What?" Louis is confused. Harry wants to take photos of him? Really? "But I'm just...me." He whispered.

"Your eyes and cheekbones are beautiful. You are beautiful. I really want to take photos of you. Can I?"

This is what they look like in this story.
