Tell Me a Lie

Venice

Chapter 15

I smile at Harry. The mood seems to vanish and he slumps back in his seat.

“Do you want food?” I ask him scooting to the edge of the booth.

“Get me a chicken wrap.” He tells me picking up the salt shaker again. I get up and head over to the counter where Niall is finishing up his order.

“Two chicken wraps.” I tell the man. He rushes off and I slump against the counter and drum my fingers.

“TOMLINSON!” Zayn bellows. “I SWEAR IF YOU DO THAT ONE MORE TIME I WILL KILL YOU PERSONALLY WITH MY BARE HANDS!” Louis throws some food at Zayn who shrinks behind a chair. I blush.

“I’m so sorry.” I tell one of the confused staff members behind the counter. “They’re like animals.” She snorts and hands me my food. I walk back to my and Harry’s table where Liam and Niall have joined us. Niall’s food takes up half the table as he sits next to Harry and Liam is on his phone. Harry looks up with me with puppy dog eyes. I hand him his food.

“Thanks.” He says quickly before destroying the wrap. I plop down next to Liam who pats my back awkwardly. I’m hungry too so I dig in. Amazingly, Niall finishes his food before everybody else and is begging everybody to hurry up because he wants to go shopping. We finish our food and Liam cleans off all the tables with a wet wipe.  We leave the restaurant and hop back in the car.

“So do you guys want to shop or go back and eat then shop?” Niall asks. “Because I’ll gladly just have a pretzel at the mall if you guys aren’t so hungry.” We just stare.

“Niall, you do realize we just ate.” Liam tells him.

“Yeah.” Niall replies.

“Louis, just drive to the mall.” Zayn tells him. We pull out of the parking lot. We drive for about 15 minutes and pull into the parking lot of a shopping centre.

“Niall come along.” Zayn tells him pulling him off in the direction of the shoe stores.

“I WANNA COME!” Louis yells running after them. Harry takes my hand and pulls me to the stores I like. Liam follows behind.

“Let’s go to your stores first.” I tell him. “We always go to mine.”

“I like seeing you first though.” He tells me and I blush. We walk into the store and I immediately am drawn towards the adorable sun dresses.

“You should try this one.” Harry tells me holding up a teal flowery dress.

“Teal isn’t really my color. How about grey?”

“Teal should be your color. It would look great on you.” Harry smiles and I blush. He hands me the dress and I take it. I head to the dressing rooms and close the door. Harry throws some long sleeve shirts and jeans.

“What are these for?” I ask.

“Venice is pretty cold in November.” He tells me and I can almost feel him smile.

“Are you serious?!?” I ask excitedly.

“So serious.” He tells me.

“Are we going alone?”

“As much as I’d love too, A few days I’ll have to work. I hope that will be okay. But Lissa is coming.” He tells me.

“Harry are you kidding? That’s great!” I reply as I zip up the dress. I turn around to look in the mirror. He was right. Teal does look good. I run out of the dressing room and hop into his arms and kiss him.

“I told you it would look good on you.” He tells me. I smile.

“I need a plane trip outfit.” I tell him. He grins his cheeky smile and we take off in search of some clothes.
