Being Louis (Zouis)

Chapter 31

-Louis

After Harry runs back upstairs, Luke walks back over to us.

"What the hell was that all about?" He just shrugs.

"It's a nice greeting. I learned that in Disney Princess movies." I can hear Zayn start giggling.

"Whatever. You guys up for a movie?" We all agree and Luke and Zayn sit on the couch. I go upstairs to ask Harry if he wanted to but he doesn't respond. I knock on the door again to see if he answers.

"Harry? You alright, mate?" I open the door to see him sitting on his bed reading "How to score a guy in 10 days."

"What the hell? Harry?" He looks up from the book then sighs.

"What do you want Louis? Can't you see I'm busy?" I walk over and sit on his bed next to him.

"You've been acting weird all afternoon. What's going on?" He puts his book down beside him.

"How do you get a guy to like you?" I shrug and try to think.

"Be yourself but Har-"

"I know that but isn't it usually all about looks?" I shake my head.

"No. It's about being you. If you have to change for a guy then he's not worth it." I think I know what's going on.

"Harry? Do you-Do you have a thing for Luke?" He quickly looks up and nervously shakes his head.

"What? No! Why would you think that?" I shrug again.

"Well, I just guess because-" I lose my train of thought and just point to his book.

"You quickly ran upstairs."

"I had to use the loo."

"And you're reading that book."

"Maybe I'm into a girl."

"But just a two days ago, you were with a boy."

"What's wrong with being bisexual?"

I didn't say anything was wrong with being bisexual- wait, you're bisexual?"

"Oh! look at the time!"

"But I don't have a watch." Harry tries to push me out of the room.

"It's time for Louis to leave." He grunts as he pushes me out of the door.

"See you at dinner." He quickly shuts the door. I turn around and walk slowly downstairs trying to think about what just happened.

what did just happen?

-Harry

That was a close one. I sigh out and go back to my bed then grab my book. Okay... I turn the page and continue reading.

Step 1: Make yourself look attractive.... But be yourself while doing it. It says to apply very little makeup and add mascara and eyeliner to bring out your eyes. I think I can do that. I walk into Dad's room and look in his bathroom drawers.  I find Mum's makeup in one. Dad keeps it there as a memory but I'm pretty sure Mum would want me to do this.I think.

-Liam

After I walk in, I see Louis, Zayn, and some random person watching Frozen. They all look my way and smile. Louis gets up and walks towards me.

"Hey, Dad. This is Luke." He points towards this Luke boy and he waves then stands up.

"I better get going."

"Oh, you can't stay for dinner?" Louis asks. Luke looks up and thinks.

"I guess so. If that's alright with you Mr. Um." He scratches his head and look over to Louis.

"I never got your last name."

"Payne but you can just call me Liam. I'm fine with you staying, I love having guests."

"Thank you, sir. I mean, Liam." Luke goes back to the couch and sits.

"You should stay friends with that boy. I really like him. Maybe more than Zayn."

"Hey!" I look over at Zayn and he puts his hand on his heart.

"Ouch."

"I gotta start dinner." Louis giggles and walks towards the door with Zayn.

-Harry

I skip downstairs and sit down in my spot at the dinner table. I thank Dad for cooking and see Louis and Luke walk in. Luke sits next to me while Louis sits in front of me. Louis looks at me funny but shakes his head and starts to eat.

"So Luke how long have you been here in Doncaster?"

"About a week."

"Fascinating!" I giggle and continue to eat. Louis looks confused and raises his eyebrow.

-Louis
Harry is acting really weird all of a sudden and he has this Adam Lambert eye makeup going on. After dinner, I clean up and show Luke out.

"I'll see you later, Luke." Luke turns around and smiles.

"Thank you for dinner, It was really kind of you." I shrug and smirk.

"It's the least I could do. You seem like a really nice guy."

"We could hang out tomorrow?" Before I could answer Dad clears his throat.

"Louis, you have to babysit tomorrow."

"Wait! No! I have that date with Zayn tomorrow!"

"Louis." Dad says it harshly. I try to think about what I'm about to say but Luke steps in.

"I could babysit them. I mean it's the least I could after you invited me into your lovely home."

"Are you sure?" Luke nods and smiles.

"If I can babysit my little brother then I can babysit Harry and Niall. Is that how you say it?" Dad nods and smiles.

"Fine. Luke, you can do it. But remember, only if you want to." Luke nods and smiles.

"It would be my honour,sir." He waves then leaves.

"I seriously want you two to get married some day." I gasp and smile a little.

"Dad!" I say goodnight and head upstairs. Before I go to my room, I go to Harry's room. I open the door and see if he's awake but he's fallen asleep. He has his book laid on his chest, I pick it up and take a look at it. I see where's he's checked off, He's already on Step 3.

Step 1: Make yourself look attractive.... But be yourself while doing it. check.

Step 2: Make eye contact and get to know him! check.

Step 3: Make the first move.... It could be a kiss or a friendly gesture! There's no check mark by that and since Luke is babysitting him tomorrow, he's probably going to do it! Shit.

What have I gotten myself into?
