Chapter 5- Harry

In other news, today (4/2/20) niall was doing a live stream on Instagram and some girl asked him to touch his nose if Larry is real and he did it. Not the first time this has happened but he was looking through comments for questions this time so he couldn't have missed it. That's none of my business though *sips tea*. 

Chapter 5

I hear a honk from outside, just as I'm walking down the stairs. "Gemma, I'm going out to lunch," I call out to her, opening the front door to leave.

She looks up from her seat on the couch and smiles, signaling that she heard me.  Stepping outside I see Niall's silver Porsche sitting in the drive way.

Zayn opens the door and yells for me to get in on his side, and I slide in the back next to him. Louis turns around from the front seat and flashes me a stunning grin and soft smile appears on my face in response.

"Hello lads," I greet them, adjusting my sweater.

Niall looks at me in the mirror and winks, "I am assuming you saw Louis post? We decided to go out for drinks tonight to celebrate if you'd like to join."

I laugh softly and look back to the handsome man in the passenger seat, "I did see that. Congrats man, it feels good doesn't it?"

"It definitely does," he replies looking back at me with a look in his eyes that I can't identify.

I nod in agreement and agree to join them later tonight for drinks. Maybe if I go, I can figure out who the new person in his life is who pushed him to come out. I look out the window as that thought crosses my mind again, at least it would be better to know now than to keep seeing him without being sure.

"So are y'all in the mood for burgers now? I saw this place by the inn we are staying at?" Niall questions.

We all hum in agreement and before long we are pulling into the diner's parking lot.

Once we are inside, the waitress takes us to a large booth, and I slide in on one side. Behind me, Louis debates for a second but follows my lead and slides in next to me.

My nose is instantly flooded with the same cologne I had become so accustomed to over the last decade. I take an obvious breath in and Liam glances at me from across the table in amusement.

"Smell something good Haz?" he ask me with a smirk on his face.

I feel my face turning red as I glare back at him, and respond with "The burgers smell great Liam."

The boys all chuckle and Louis's arm brushes up against mine as he gets adjusted in the seat.

Okay, I need to figure something out.

I can't keep having heart palpitations every time he slightly touches me or I'm never going to survive a year with him.

I take a deep breath and try to focus my attention onto the menu in front of me.

"Hello there, my name is Liz and I will be serving you guys this afternoon. What can I get for you?" a middle-aged women says from the end of our booth. I look up and smile at her friendly, motherly face.

We all give her our orders and once she has left Louis speaks up from beside me, "So, have you made a decision yet about the band?"

I look back at him and pause for a second when I see his eyes focused on my lips. Smirking, I answer, "Yes, I know you all probably know my answer though. I missed you cucks too much to let an opportunity like this pass by. Let's make some more memories."

Big smiles appear on everyone's faces and Zayn reaches over Louis, patting me on the shoulder.

"We've already come up with a few possible ideas on where to take the band. I wanna get your input" Liam says excitedly. "So we think a good place to start would obviously be collaborating on new music, but we want to do more things involving the fans. We were thinking of starting a YouTube channel and uploading videos occasionally."
