The Wedding ✔

Chapter 10

Louis was lying on the ground, his eyes closed. His whole body was aching and he wanted to stop already.

"Are we done?", he whined, wiping his forehead. "I'm dying."

"Shut up, drama queen", said Zayn, and Louis sat up. "And yes, we are done because I did all the work!"

Louis rolled his eyes because yeah, Zayn was clearly overreacting. "Only for the last forty minutes or so."

"Exactly my point, so you have no right to complain how tired you are", said Zayn, glaring at Louis.

Louis grinned innocently. "I never said I was tired. I just said that I'm dying."

"You're annoying."

Louis got up. "No, I am hungry. And don't blame me. You could've called Niall or Ed for help."

"I did!" exclaimed Zayn, and rubbed his face. "They didn't answer."

Louis shrugged, furrowing his eyebrows. "Funny, because before I came to help you, they said they would go look for you and Liam. Guess they're hiding somewhere."

Zayn also shrugged, too tired to care. "It's only 2 p.m. and I'm already ready to go to bed."

For once, Louis agreed with Zayn completely. He was really tired, even though Zayn had done most of the work. Louis was lazy and didn't like to work, simple as that.

"Let's go eat, please", Louis pleaded, and Zayn nodded. They started walking towards the front door.

"Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's home from work we go..."

Louis scoffed. "I never liked that movie."

Zayn stopped singing and asked, "What? Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Why?"

"It's a stupid movie", Louis grumbled.

"Stupid?" Zayn repeated, amused. "It's an animated cartoon. Animated. Cartoon."

"Still", Louis said, opening the front door. "Leaving the key on a hook right at the side of the door that contains God knows how many diamonds is relatively idiotic."

"Cartoon, Louis!"

Louis just rolled his eyes and didn't reply. He had caught a glance of Harry. The lad was still on the backyard with Liam and his head just flashed past the window. A small smile formed on Louis' lips. Yes, he hated big weddings and weddings in general, but he couldn't lie; he actually enjoyed being there— mostly because of Harry.

God, he hated the fact that Harry had got under his skin so quickly. Louis liked to keep his distance to people— he didn't like them. But Harry was definitely something else. There was something in between them from the very first moment they laid eyes on each other. And Louis didn't want to stop hanging out with Harry. It was too late, anyway. He already liked the curly-haired boy, and wanted him to stay in his life.

Sure, Louis had been always happy with only one friend, Zayn. He didn't need or want anybody else, but Zayn had dragged Liam into their lives and suddenly Louis had two friends. It was enough for him but he couldn't help but think that it would be nice to have Harry around.

Louis wasn't stupid; he knew Liam and Zayn will want to spend time alone without Louis once they go back to London after the wedding. Louis knew that but he didn't want to be alone. But he didn't want to be with annoying people either.

But Harry. Yeah, Louis could hang out with Harry every time Zayn and Liam would ditch him. Louis smiled, glancing at Zayn. Yeah, maybe he could handle three friends.

"A penny for your thoughts", said Zayn, noticing Louis' smile.

"Nothing, just thinking", Louis said, but couldn't wipe off his smile.
