The Best Days (ON HOLD)

CH 18: What Love is

 

 

January-23-14

"Where's my girl?" Harry called from the kitchen. I was hiding in my bedroom closet, waiting for him to come in so I could jump out and scare him. "We'll be late for the rehearsal!" I tried not to laugh as he walked passed my bedroom door. I crept out, tip-toeing my way to the door frame. I saw his tall shadow scratch his scalp and then I jumped out, giving him a blood curdling "Boo!". Of course he jumped back and laughed after realizing it was me and not a demon from hell.

"Got'cha!" I chuckled, stepping back and pointing a finger at his embarrassed countenance.

"That was a good one. Now come, we'll be late." He kissed me softly, took my hand and lead me to the entryway to my apartment, where I slipped on my shoes and coat. "Ready?" I nodded and we went down the hallway, through the doors, across the parking lot and hopped in Harry's car, where Louis and Niall were waiting. We were on our way to Liam's next.

"Is everybody buckled?" Niall investigated, looking around and making sure we were. I rolled my eyes, complied and gave Niall a thumbs up. "Yea!" He chanted in a whisper ecstatically.

"Here we go." Harry announced and pulled out. While he drives, let me explain what happened since the new year: Harry and I are officially dating, the fans don't like us much for one reason: Harry is theirs. Apparently he isn’t entitled to a girlfriend just because he's the more popular one, which I think is stupid. On another subject, Eve has gotten more frisky and I have been working much harder at Nandos due to apartment payments, grocery bills and other pesky things as such. Zayn is now 21 (Happy Birthday!) and Emmie had a date last night with a boy named Andy, who is blonde, strong, has blue eyes, kind, and also quite handsome.

And now the car ride is over. Harry got out of the car after telling me he would be back. Niall joined him, leaving me and Louis alone. After letting out a puff and exchanging smile I broke our silence with the typical: "How was your day Lou?"  We were both in the backseat, Niall would kill to sit in passenger. 

"Just fine. Yours?" He replied, turning his head.

"The same. Did you find any girls yet?"

"No. It's been harder since Eleanor set my standards much too high."I chuckled.

"Oh. Well you'll find that girl someday."

"What if I've already met her but I don't know it." I knitted my eyebrows.

"Quite possible." I lied my head on his shoulder (Harry's fine with contact like this since we're close friends) and yawned. "I'm so tired, I was up until one in the morning texting Emmie about her date-"

"She went out last night with a man?"

"Yeah. His name is Andy, it's too much to explain right now. God, I wish I could sleep." I sighed and shut my eyes.

"Would you like to go back home then?"

"No. You're practice I'm sure will wake me up."

"I'm not so sure." We laughed in unison and once our excitement died down we  once again fell into silence. It wasn't awkward but it was more thoughtful. "How are things with you and Harry?"

"It's going to take some getting used to but things are fine. Thanks for asking. How's your mum?"

"Just fine. Pregnant, but she's fine." he kissed the top of my head, making me quickly lift it.

"I'm not sure Harry would-" Without a moment to think Louis pressed his lips to mine for a long, passionate kiss and I feel guilty about it because I kissed him back. His hands held my neck and mine wrapped around his waist. I was blissfully long and quickly turned into a snog. He kissed down my cheek and to my jaw and upper neck. My eyes were shut and I moaned when he lightly bit my neck, then, realizing what I was doing I pulled back, taking in a sharp breath. I didn't know what to do.
