Sparks Fly

chapter 9 - never felt before

Harry's P.O.V

I took a deep breathe as I walked up to his door, Niall told me Beau was staying at his house with him so they could practice her script, and I mean Niall is also one of Louis good friends so he's doing him a favor by babysitting. I knocked a couple times and played with the single white rose I had in my hand. I won't lie... this is more nerve wracking then preforming. I really like him, he's one of the first guys i have met in a long time who makes me feel.. actually I'm not used to how he makes me feel. I wont lie it's new. I have liked people of course and loved people but this was still some how... different and just a new feeling. "Hi" he said with a smile as he opened the door. whoa. "wow.. Louis you look... um.." he smiled looking at me waiting for me to finish and I chuckled nervously "this is for you.. you look incredible" He laughed softly "thank you." He took the rose, our fingers brushing and he smelled it and I smiled "are you ready to go?", He nodded and I led him to the car and opened his door for him. Instead of having my driver take us I wanted it to be more intimate so I drove instead. When we got there the vale' took my car and I made sure to keep Louis close to me, In case paps showed up. The server led us to our table and I smiled fondly at Louis, he was looking around and smiling. They had chandeliers and candles and fairy lights, but it was all dim except those lights and it made everything feel.. romantic.

I pulled his chair out for him and he smiled "thank you" I smiled softly and sat in front f him. I bit my lip, he made feel so so nervous and small... which is funny since I'm so much taller than him. "I've never been here before but a friend of mine who brings his wife here says it's really good" I said as I opened my menu. "oh cool, this looks good" he said and showed me one of the pictures under the specials. I nodded "that does look good, I think I'm gonna get 'poulet au poivre' I said showing him the picture. Once the waitress took our order, we both got sparkling water and just talked. He started telling me about a charity even that he had coming up in two weeks "what's the charity for?" I asked as I took a bite of my food but made sure to keep looking at Louis. "Zayn mostly planned this one, it was pitched to him so I let him take the lead on it. But it's basically to help raise money to help the homeless shelter expand and have more access to blankets, spare socks and jackets and such. more food and the basic necessities" I smiled "thats great, is it like a marathon or something?" He smiled "no it's a mini festival, we have like music and stuff and food and games and such.. basically were hoping to have people donate as they have fun. which usually works... I was a little nervous though because Zayn wanted to do this a festival way... and the goal we have is really high and I'm nervous we wont reach our goal". I hummed softly and smiled "well... what if you had a celebrity guest?" he chuckled "what... wait do you mean you?" I smiled "yeah... why not, I'd love to help". He shook his head "Harry I can't ask you to do that.." I shrugged "well you're not I offered". He snorted "okay smart ass... thank you.. really that would be amazing" I smiled and we both continued eating. We decided we could talk about the details later and just focus on us.

We went to his house after dinner, he offered and said we could talk and have some wine. Which I wasn't going to decline, obviously. We were laughing as we were sitting on his couch. He had the t.v on because we tried to watch a movie but we both would much rather talk. Which I like. I've been on dates with people who were about as deep as a kiddy pool. But Louis is so funny and smart. He can go from being a business man to being a child at heart in a second and it's so refreshing. Honestly it's also very attractive.

"Well so I was running and Liam and I ran into each other and started rolling down the damn hill, And it had rained so it was wet" I had to cover my mouth to hold in some of my laughing as Louis talked "and we landed into the fuckin puddle at the bottom, both of us covered in mud and the ball rolled down with us so I piked it up and yelled 'you knocker!' and hit him with it and he face planted into the mud" I snorted and blushed from how hard I was laughing. He was telling me a story about him and his best mate from high school when the played soccer in the park with friends. "that is gold" he laughed as he took a sip of wine and licked his lips, I bit my lip gently looking at them as he spoke "yeah it was so funny, I came home covered in mud and my mum took about a 100 pictures of he and I covered in mud". I smiled fondly "well if I ever meet her I will have to ask her if she has any of those" I blushed realizing what I said and he smiled turning to face me more "I will have to make sure she deletes them then so you can't get them from her" I smiled, he wanted me to meet his mum.

We had gone through almost a whole bottle of wine and we were just sitting there talking, relaxed. Neither of us were drunk but we were definitely relaxed. "this has been amazing.." he said smiling I smiled softly "yeah it has... its getting late maybe I should call a cab and..get going" I said not really wanting the night to end. He bit his lip as we both stood up "I really-" I was cut off by him putting his hand on the back of my neck and connecting our lips. As soon as our lips touched my eyes drifted shut and I cupped his cheek. I felt the weirdest feeling take over my body. It made my whole body feel hot, my heart sped up and my stomach started doing back flips. I've... never had a kiss like this before. I've never felt this before. I liked it, a lot... and I didn't want it to stop. Our lips molded almost perfectly against each other as we kissed slowly and softly. He pulled away our noses still touching, him on his toes and me leaning my head down.

He whispered softly, his breathe hitting my lips making me bite my lip gently, "stay".
