Shakespeare's Love Story

Chapter 9 part 2

At five to ten, Louis sent Phoebe and Daisy up to bed, telling them to be quiet in case they woke Ernest and Doris again. It was at ten thirty when Johanna and Daniel arrived back from their outing, but Johanna seemed happier than usual.

"Hello, sorry we're back a bit later than expected", she said as she walked into the living room.

Louis was sleeping against Harry's shoulder, and Harry was close to falling asleep.

"It's okay, we didn't really mind" he yawned.

"Oh you're Harry aren't you."

"Yeah, we didn't get to meet properly last time" Harry explained as he waved at her, he didn't want to disturb Louis from his sleep.

"I'm Daniel, Johanna's partner."

"Hi, I'm Harry," he said as he shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

Louis stretched out his body over Harry's before finally waking up with a yawn.

"I think I need to go soon, my parents want me home soon."

"D-Did you want me to come with you?" Louis whispered, lifting his head from Harry's shoulder.

"You don't have to, you're tired, I'll let you sleep."

"I don't mind, I wouldn't want you going by yourself."

"Okay then, if you're sure."

"Yeah", he yawned. "Let me get my shoes," Louis said as he slowly walked past his mum.

When Louis was out of earshot, Johanna spoke up. "How long have you known Louis for?"

"For about three and a half weeks now."

"Do you have any intentions with my son?"

"I err-" Harry blushed as he stared down at his shoes.

"Mum, you can stop embarrassing him now."

Johanna and Daniel both chuckled as Louis took hold of Harry's arm, pulling him up from the couch and dragging him towards the door.

"Here's your coat" Louis smiled as he gave him his coat.

"Thank you."

He slipped his coat and his shoes on until he was finally dressed up in his attire.

"I'll be back in twenty minutes or so."

"Okay don't take too long."

"I'll try not to."

Louis grabbed the keys and made sure Harry had everything. They left the house, heading directly to the convertible and opened the door for Harry before hurrying round to his side.

"My Mum didn't harass you too much did she?"

"No, no she just asked what my intentions were and how long I've known you for."

"Oh," Louis replied with a hint of a blush appearing on his face.

It wasn't long before they were at Harry's house. Louis had parked just beside their driveway and turned the engine of the car off.

"Thank you for taking me home, you didn't have to."

"I was just saving you from having to do a lot of walking."

Harry laughed. "Yeah I guess so."

"I'll see you soon."

"Remember next week is our date."
