Can We Still Be Friends? (Jouis/Zarry/Larry)

Chapter 21

Louis POV

"STOP SHOOTING ME WITH YOUR STUPID SLINGSHOT!"

"Nah, business is slow and I'm bored..TAKE THAT!"

"STOP! AHH!"

Eleanor tries running away from Justin as he keeps shooting her with small paper balls. My eyes roaming around, watching as they run all over the place like three year olds. I can't help but chuckle whenever Justin messes with Eleanor. It's pretty damn hilarious. Danielle walks in from the back room, putting down a box of plastic cups after witnessing what was going on.

"Justin, leave Eleanor alone! I swear you're going to end up traumatizing her with that thing"

"I already am!" Eleanor shouts, hiding under one of the tables.

"Just one more shoot..HA!"

"AH! STOP!"

"Justin, come on that's enough" I sighed, holding my hand out as I look at his slingshot.

He chuckles, walking over to me as he places the slingshot over my hand but doesn't let go yet. He gently pulls me closer to him as we we're now face to face.

"Can I have one kiss at least?"

"You can have one slap across your pretty face!" Eleanor shouts from behind.

Justin groans at her, trying to pull the slingshot  away from my hand but I move my hand behind my back before he could take it. I grab him by his chin and pull him in for a quick kiss. My lips peck his soft moist ones before pulling away, he sighs satisfyingly and smiles.

"That's all I needed, princess"

"Even though you tried killing with your slingshot, I have to admit that's bloody adorable!" Eleanor shrieks, cupping her face as Danielle chuckles.

"Speaking of you two lovebirds, are you lads officially together?"

My heart skipped a beat, as we both look at each other while Danielle waited for a response. Niall assumed Justin was officially my boyfriend the other day but it wasn't like that at all. But at the same time, I'm not completely single either if you really think about it. What are we then? Are we a couple?
I felt Justin wrap his arm around me, smiling widely at Danielle before responding to her.

"We're just taking things slow, that's all"

"Oh okay, that's understandable" Eleanor winks as she skips over to the counter before Danielle gives her a chocolate biscuit.

Taking things slow? For some reason I felt myself frown a bit when he said that. I don't know why if it's true. Could it be because I actually want it to be something more?

"So are you guys going to Niall's party tonight?" Eleanor asked Danielle as she slowly munches on her biscuit.

"Of course, but I know my diet is most likely going to be ruined after that party. There's going to be so much food, it's going to be so yummy!"
