Can We Still Be Friends? (Jouis/Zarry/Larry)

Chapter 34

Louis POV

"This is going to be so good! Oh I can't wait to try it!"

"Can you put any more chocolate on that El? Geez, save some!"

Eleanor sticks her tongue out at Liam, ignoring his scolds as she pours more chocolate onto the desserts. I snickered, sticking two fingers under the melting chocolate before walking off and sucking it. I will know anyone who loves sweets more than Eleanor does.

Tonight is Liam's party, and everyone except for Danielle and Justin are here to help out with the preparations. I thought I would show up and help, thinking  Justin would be here but he sadly wasn't.
After dinner yesterday, I realized that the call I received was from Justin and swore at myself just thinking how much of a jerk I was. I tried calling him back but he didn't answer, assuming he must've went to bed. When I see him today, I'm going to apologize and spend time with him. We haven't spoken and I want us to be okay, I don't want to ruin anything between us. I have to show him my undivided attention.

"Still love chocolate, I see?"

I turned around, Harry smirking amusedly as he finishes hanging up some streamers. I cleared my throat awkwardly as I nodded and ran my fingers through my hair.

"I mean, that hasn't really changed"

"Obviously, you still have some chocolate over your face"

"Really?! Where?" Well that's embarrassing.

"Here, I'll get it for you"

He moves his fingers to the corner of my mouth and swifts away the small drop of chocolate away from the corner of my mouth. He sucks the chocolate off his finger and smirks flirtatiously as I felt my breathing hitch. Damn this sexy curly headed bastard.

"HEY GUYS! WE MADE IT!"

"It's about time Dani..JUSTIN YOU'RE HERE!"

I slightly gasped, turning around to see Justin standing next to Danielle with his hoodie over his head. I smiled, happiness blooming inside of me once I noticed the Canadian lad. Niall runs towards the two, tackling Justin in hug while spinning him around.

"Justin! I missed you! Don't ever miss out on our hangouts ever again!"

"I'll try not to next time Niall..now please stop spinning me or I'm about to be sick!"

"Oh sorry" Niall chuckled, pulling away as Justin rubs his face and snickers.

"Sorry we're late. I literally had to drag this dimwit out of bed this morning, he hasn't slept well so he might be grumpy"

"I'm not grumpy!"

"No? Then why shout, huh?"

Justin groans as Danielle and Niall tease him, Niall pinching his cheeks as he rolls his eyes in annoyance. He looks over at me, smirking amusingly as he tries avoiding Niall's cheek pinching fest.
I smiled brightly, about to make my way over to them until I felt a hand grab mine, realizing it was Harry once I turned around.

"Come on Lou, help me move some furniture yeah?"

I look over at Justin, now slightly frowning as he watches us from afar. He sadly smirks before turning to Niall, now completely ignoring me. I felt my stomach drop, not even noticing Harry pulling me away. He has to at least walk over to us, say hello to me. The night can't start off like this for us.

"How about you help me blow up some balloons, Justin?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure, why not"

Niall leads Justin to the kitchen, grabbing the bag of balloons from the couch. As they walk past us, Justin didn't even try looking at my direction. He didn't acknowledge me at all. I scrunched my eyebrows together, hurt feelings starting to flow inside me.
