Shakespeare's Love Story

Chapter 4

When they got to Harry's house, Harry opened the door for the both of them and let Louis in first.

"Don't be scared if my mum or sister ask you lots of questions, I haven't told them you're coming yet" Louis nodded as he remembered to slip his shoes off by the front of the door. "We'll just have to sneak past them."

"I don't mind talking to them as long as they are as nice as you are" Louis giggled.

"Thank you" Harry smiled.

Again, Harry took Louis' hand as he led them to towards his bedroom. He felt a spark go through him, making him loosen his grip. Louis must've felt it too as he flinched his hand away and blushed. Harry bit his lip as they went through the kitchen and towards the stairs.

"Harry?" he gasped when he bumped into his Mother, immediately letting go of Louis' hand.

"Hey, mum."

"I thought you would be back later."

"And I thought you had worked at 10 o'clock."

"Well turns out I have a day off."

"Great! you're always working so hard, it's about time."

"It's what happens when you're a nurse" she sighed. "Who's that behind you?"

"This is Louis, mum meet Louis, Louis meet my mum."

"So you're the one he was talking about this morning, don't worry they were all nice things."

"Hello Mrs Styles" Louis greeted, sticking a hand out towards her.

"You can call me Anne, that just makes me feel old" they both laughed.

"It's nice to meet you."

"And you, I'll leave you two to carry on with what you're doing."

"Okay, we'll come down later," Harry said before slipping past his mum.

"Have fun" she answered, and Harry thought he heard her say 'but not too much'.

They moved up the stairs, with Harry holding Louis' hand again until they got to his room.

"Harry? Louis?" another female voice said.

They turned around and saw Gemma leaning against her bedroom door with her arms crossed.

"Hi...Gemma" Louis spoke hesitantly, hoping to get her name right.

"That's me" she smiled.

"How've you been?"

"I've been great at the moment, how 'bout you?" Harry sent Gemma a death glare, which she ignored.

"I'm good actually, I'm just going to do some studying in Harry's room."

"Hmm, 'studying'" she said using air quotes.

Harry's eyes widened. "We're not going to be doing anything bad, so you don't need to cover your ears or anything."

Gemma looked down at their entwined hands before turning around. "Bye guys, have fun."

Harry blushed as he let go of their hands then turned to head into his bedroom. Louis followed behind him with a hint of a frown on his face, making sure to close the door behind him.

"Sorry about that" Harry muttered.

"It's okay" Louis smiled, and Harry thought that he could die from seeing such a beautiful smile. "Hey, are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine."

Louis nodded, eyeing him unsurely.

Harry turned around so he was facing the computer and walked over there, leaving Louis to look around the place.
