It's All About The Summer

Chapter 20

Alex

Having lunch with Harry at Nando’s was everything but boring. He was rather cocky and flirty but it was his stupidity that made me laugh. When we were done with lunch he asked the waitress for the bill and when she gave it to us he payed immediately. I looked at him shocked. He didn’t even take a look at it. The waitress left and he saw me looking at him

-What?

-How much was that?

-I don’t know, Louis is gonna pay for that later

-You just gave her money without noticing what you did? Just like that?

-I gave her what it usually costs here Alex it’s okay

-Boys –I muttered in Spanish

-What was that?

-Nothing –He looked at me and I smiled.

When we went outside of the restaurant we looked at each other as people passes us by.

-Now what? –he asked

-No idea, I’m the tourist here remember?

-What do you want to do then?

-I don’t know whatever you want as long as it’s outside

-Are you up for a walk?

-I’d love that!

We walked through the crowded London streets, talking about our lives. That was a wish coming true for me I mean I’ve been dreaming to meet him and talk to him properly for the past 2 years and now it was finally happening. And it turned out to be I liked even more the real Harry, not the Harry Styles from One Direction. He seemed to be a caring and sweet boy, never letting the flirty side apart obviously. We arrived to a huge park and went to seat on a bench. There was an old couple walking, hand in hand. They were not talking; they just walked and hold hands. I was mesmerized by the scene. I started picturing myself and Harry like that in 60 years or so and smiled without noticing

-What? –Harry’s voice brought me back to reality

-I was just thinking

-About what? That boring couple? –I looked at him, not believing he had just said that

-Boring? How?

-They’re old, and they’re doing nothing, just walking

-Harry that’s rude and stupid

-Why?

-Cause they’re a couple of old people doesn’t mean it’s boring, I find it lovely. You don’t see couples like that anymore. Marriages now a day’s won’t last and couples are just interested in physical things, but where’s the love? 

He started at the couple walking away

-You mean you want to be that woman in 60 -70 years?

-Yeah

-Why?

-Look at them, don’t you see it? They’re happy with just one another; they don’t need to be young and perfect to be happy

-I don’t want to grow old, what’s after that?

-I don’t know

-I’m sorry

-What for?

-Saying what I said about them

-Oh yeah no worries, I guess everyone thinks different
