Wishing You Were Mine | Larry

03 || Jealousy

Harry sits in the passenger of Nick's car, singing along quietly to the radio. It's time for their double date with Gemma and her boyfriend Castiel. Nick smiles, holding Harry's hand as he drives. Harry hasn't got him angry yet, and he doesn't plan to. It's been a nice day for the both of them and he doesn't want to ruin it, especially because if he gets him angry during the car ride to the double date with his sister and Nick hits him, Gemma is definitely going to be suspicious and put two and two together. Harry was wearing a white top  with hands on, black skinny jeans and some black boots, not being overly dressed and not really smart either, whereas Nick has chose a smarter look with a patterned shirt, a black blazer with skinny jeans and boots. 

They arrive at the restaurant and Nick parks the car next to where Gemma is parked. They see them waiting outside the restaurant for them and Harry grins, rushing over to them and hugs his sister and Castiel. Nick shakes Castiel's hand and gives Gemma a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Hey little bro." Gemma says, ruffling Harry's hair. Harry pouts at her and she pokes her tongue out at him. 

"Hey Gem." Harry says, grinning at her and follows them in holding Nick's hand. They get their table and the waiter hands them four menus, winking at Harry. Harry bites his lip feeling Nick's grip on his hand tighten and Nick pecks his cheek. Harry looks at him as Nick lets go of his hand and opens the menu. "What are you having, babe?" He asks Nick who's looking through all the options. 

"I think I'll have the full pack of ribs and we can share a side of onion rings?" Nick says, Harry nods looking at his menu and thanks the waiter as he brings them their drinks. "What about you darling?" 

"I'm going to have the spicy sea-bass and chirizo stack." Harry tells him, putting down his menu. Nick nods smiling as he places his on top of Harry's and takes a sip of his drink. He had ordered an alcoholic cocktail, so Harry assumes he's driving them home which rarely happens when Nick is going anywhere with him. Harry looks at Gemma who's looking back at him and he grins. "How's life Gem?" 

"Life's good! What about you?" She answers, drinking her drink. 

"Good." Harry answers, getting into a deeper conversation with his sister as Nick talks to Castiel.

"Louis mate! It's great to see you, we haven't seen each other forever!" Liam says, walking into his best friends house. The last time they had seen each other was two days ago, but they like to mess around with each other. Louis chuckles, hugging his best friend. "We should go to the Harvester, get some food and then come back here to watch football." 

Louis nods, a grin on his face. "Sure, I'll drive though, I don't trust your driving anymore." Louis says making Liam roll his eyes and watch as Louis grabs his car keys from the key holder by the door leading to the living room. Louis puts his coat on and lets Liam walk out in front of him so he could lock the door after him. Once the doors locked, Louis looks over the road and notices Nick's cars not there, meaning either Nick had gone out or Harry and Nick were out somewhere together. For some reason, that made Louis' blood boil. Over the passed five months, Louis' noticed how jumpy Harry is when someone touches him or how many bruises he tries hiding, he knows something's wrong, but whenever he mentions the bruises to Harry, he seems to get defensive over them. It also doesn't help that Louis' denying that he has a crush on the younger boy. 

Louis gets in the car and starts it up, checking nothings coming before he pulls off. He puts the radio on as he drives, and him and Liam decide to do a little of their own carpool karaoke to the songs that they know. Louis soon parks in Harvester car park and they get out of the car locking the door. They walk in and Louis sees Liam staring at the dark skinned waiter and smirks. 

"Let me guess, the only reason you wanted to come here was so you could stare at the waiter all through food?" He says and Liam blushes shaking his head. "Awh little Liam has a crush on the waiter!" He exclaims rather loudly, making Liam put his hand over his mouth, to which Louis licks and smirks again. 

"Louis, shut up you're embarrassing me!" Liam says, walking over to the waiter who's name tag read Zayn, hoping to god that he didn't hear Louis. "Can I have a table for two, please?" Liam asks, and as the waiter goes to answer Louis' head pops over Liam's shoulder.

"And your number preferably, for him." Louis says, making Liam blush and Zayn chuckles grabbing a piece of paper off his notepad and writes his number down. Louis watches in shock as Zayn gives Liam the paper before leading them to a table which Louis notices is right next to Harry. He smiles at Harry and gives him a little wave, to which Harry give him a small smile back. Louis sits down across from Liam and on the opposite side to where Harry was sitting so he had the perfect view of him. 

"When you're ready to order just give me a shout." Zayn tells them, before remembering about drinks. "Would you like a drink?"

"Can we have the uh, refillable ones please?" Liam asks, a blush on his face and Louis looks at him, having never seen his friend in such a flustered state.

"Sure, I'll be right back with your glasses." Zayn says, winking at Liam as he walks away. Louis grins at Liam and looks over to the table next to them, seeing Nick pecking Harry's lips before getting up with his drink and leaving the table. Harry gets up and goes over, grabbing a spare chair and pulls it to the side. 

"Hey Harry!" Louis says, seeing Liam raising his eyebrow at him. "I haven't seen you leave your house since the radio show last week." Louis states, and Harry bites his lip, hoping Louis doesn't see the hesitation in his eyes.

"Oh uh, I've just been busy had stuff to do around the house." Harry says, fiddling with his fingers, a sign Louis has noticed that he does when he's nervous and lying. Harry looks around, making sure Nick hasn't seen him, and although it doesn't look like he's there, he's watching Harry's every move. "That's my sister Gemma and her boyfriend Castiel." Louis waves at them and they wave back as Harry tells them who he is. 

"You know Liam, don't you?" Louis asks and Harry nods waving at Liam. 

"I'll see you tomorrow at the studio, I better get back to my table." Harry says, getting up and hugging Louis, unaware of the jealous eyes of Nick. Louis nods and Harry goes back to his seat and Nick walks back over and sits next to him, putting a possessive arm around his shoulder as they wait for their dessert and Harry looks at him. "Hey babe, got a new drink?"

"Yeah, want some?" Nick offers, and Harry shakes his head, internally cringing at the smell of alcohol on Nick's breath. 

"Can't, I'm driving aren't I?" Harry says and Nick nods, kissing Harry, almost as if he was trying to make a point to Louis that Harry is taken. Harry looks at Louis and he swears he sees a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but he must be imagining things.

Throughout dinner, Louis has noticed how clingy Nick had suddenly got to Harry and he frowns, seeing Harry uncomfortable most of the time as he eats his dessert and is talking to Gemma. Liam has to keep kicking him to get his attention. 

That night, as Louis lays in bed, he realises that the feelings he has when Harry's around Nick is jealousy, and he doesn't know whether his crush is a good or bad thing.

AUTHORS NOTE
Oh god this is terrible, I'm so sorry but when the book is finished I'll edit it so it's better. I just wanted this up because I wanted to get Louis admitting he has a crush on Harry out, the next chapter will be back to the radio show but I don't think I want every chapter to be a radio show I want some other story line in the background like Harry and Nick's relationship. I'm going to make a story line for Louis too soon so watch out for that! Anyway, please leave your feedback on this chapter and don't forget to vote, thank you for reading!
