Shakespeare's Love Story

Chapter 3

It was early in the morning, and Harry woke up feeling slightly groggy. He shivered at the coldness of the air on his skin. Harry remembered turning off the heaters yesterday when he got back, which he now regretted massively. He yawned before stretching out under the sheets. Harry sat up, hunching his back as he rubbed his eyes.

His first thought went to what happened yesterday, more precisely Louis. He smiled at the memory before hopping out of bed and towards his closet. He checked his phone to see a message from Louis.

Good morning :)

I have a lecture later so I won't be able to go to the park at the time I usually am there

Hopefully, I'll see you later.

He smiled down at the text before sending his reply.

Morning. I'll come down to the park at a later time then. See you then. H

Harry felt like the happiest man in the world as he put on a dressing gown and headed downstairs.

"Hey Mum" Harry greeted then gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hello Harry, why do you seem so happy today?"

"I think I know why?" Gemma smirked as she walked into the kitchen.

They both looked at Gemma with confusion written on their faces.

"Does a certain Louis ring a bell?"

"How did you-?"

"I saw him leave with you yesterday, we do go to the same university, so I see him sometimes, and we've talked occasionally."

"Oh," Harry blushed.

"You two were loud yesterday so I kinda overheard you two talking."

"What were you doing?" Anne asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I swear we didn't do anything bad, Mum!" Harry explained with wide eyes.

"I wasn't saying that you did I just wanted to know what you were doing."

"I asked him to look at my photography project, and that was it."

"Alright then, if you say so" she smiled. "Do you like him?"

"I-I-"

"-Course he does" Gemma interrupted.

"Well, shouldn't I meet him first."

"I only met him two days ago so we haven't talked much but I guess you could."

"Better be soon Harry, it's been a long time since you last dated someone," Gemma said.

"I know, but we aren't dating yet."

"You will soon, trust me" she stated, and Harry blushed.

"I think I'll get changed now," Harry said as he turned to hurry upstairs.

Harry heard them chuckling as he two-stepped up the stairs and into his bedroom.

He randomly picked an outfit that he thought looked good on him with a pair of black boots. Harry quickly went into the bathroom to check his hair. Something was missing he thought as he walked back into his bedroom. He saw one of his silk bandanas before tying it around his head. Harry picked up one of his cameras from his desk then placed it around his neck. Once he had finished with his outfit, he headed downstairs back to where Gemma and Anne were.

"Bye guys."

"Are you not going to eat anything?"

"No, I'm going to eat later, I promise."
