Chapter Three: M

Louis was tired. His nights seem to consist of worrying about the bag of coke in his draw, he would fall asleep only to wake up 10 minutes later scared someone had come into his room and peeked into his underwear draw. Which is why he was so grateful for Zayn offering for him to buy him some coffee.

"You look exhausted man" Zayn said and looked at Louis worryingly. Louis nodded slightly and looked down at his feet, watching and trying carefully not to step on the sidewalk cracks as they made their way down the streets, "you should probably get some rest"

"Probably" Louis shrugged and watched as Zayn took a sudden turn, "Isn't out usual spot a left turn here?"

"I thought we'd try somewhere new today" Zayn answered and continued walking, Louis nodded too tired to respond and sluggishly trailed behind his best friend. The truth was nothing beats the coffee at their usual spot, it was the best hot drink Louis had ever tasted and the fact that Zayn had even considered betraying their cafe for some other place made Louis annoyed. But he was too tired to really care.

"Nancy's Bakery? A bakery? Do they even sell coffee" Louis grumbled and looked at the bakery they were about to enter.

"Its more of a cafe really, my mum went there and got me one of their bacon and cheese croissants and ever since I've been craving one" Zayn replied and opened the door. It was busier than Louis thought, most of the tables were filled and people were lined up at the counter. Zayn sat down at a table for two right next to the window, overviewing the bust streets.

"I watched the cover you sent me, it's really good man" Zayn began and Louis looked up at him, playing with the napkin on the table.

"Really? It only has like 7 views" Louis told him tiredly, "gotta start somewhere though right?"

"That's the spirit!" Zayn grinned and looked around the cafe. Louis sighed and looked back out the window, his thoughts wandering. What if one of the boys found out about the video? He was sure that they would make fun of it, possibly even kicked out of their group which is not something you'd want to happen, especially if you're being kicked out of a group with a Tills brother.

"Good morning! How are you both today" a voice asked and Louis turned his head to see the waiter. It was the green eyed boy. Up close Louis admired the younger boys features, the way that a dimple appeared when he smiled and the soft grin that was all too genuine for a person who worked in a bakery. Louis frowned, this boy seemed to give him the worst deja vu and he couldn't seem to figure out where he'd seen the boy.

"I'm good! How are you?" Zayn asked politely looking at the waiter, Louis trailed his eyes down to his name badge, Harry.

"I'm very well thanks for asking! Are you ready to order today or would you like some more time to figure out what you'd like?" Harry asked and bit his lip.

"Nah we're ready, I'd like one of your bacon and cheese croissants and a black coffee. Lou?" Zayn ordered and looked at Louis waiting for him to order. Louis blinked and looked down at his menu, not even realising how much of a trance he had been in.

"Uhhh, I'll get a cappuccino, full cream and 2 sugars and a warm apple cinnamon muffin" Louis said and looked at harry in the eyes, "please"

"No worries! Will that be all today?" Harry asked, placing his pen in his pocket watching as Zayn nodded, "It'll be out in just a few, I'll be back"

As Harry walked off Louis mentally slapped himself, where the hell did he remember this boy from?? He turned to Zayn who was on his phone probably texting one of the boys. Louis grabbed his too opening the most recent message from their group chat.
