Fake It Until You Make It Real

Two

Well....I had seven chapters finished, but as my readers from my other story know I have a terrible habit or rewriting an entire chapter in just one night because of ✨inspiration✨ and 🌈self-doubt🌈. So just know what was once chapter three is now chapter two because my brain hates me.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After Louis texted him the first time after their lunch, they haven't stopped texting except for when Harry slept, and Louis slept. They were currently talking about plausible backstories to make this believable. Luckily, they had Louis' every other free weekend to use as a cover up and Harry's odd hours to use as well. They then came up with their anniversary date, which was July 19 right after summer vacation started. They've been together for fourteen months going on fifteen, but despite that they've only seen each other a handful of times due to work, kids, and their busy lives. Once they work out the finer details it would be believable, but for now it will work.

From: Harry
What's your ring size?

Louis pulled his eyebrows together as he stared at the text before sending a reply.

To: Harry
Why?

From: Harry
Your engagement ring silly. I can't have a ringless fiancé, a nice, cute boy might get the wrong idea.

To: Harry
Like a supermarket engagement ring?

From: Harry
No Lewis. A real ring. A real show stopping stone. A real every kiss begins with K jewelry piece.

Despite the conversation Louis couldn't help but laugh as he sent a reply

To: Harry
I'm cool with any ole supermarket ring

From: Harry
I still need your ring size either way so....

To: Harry
7. Also, not every kiss begins with K. Some begin with a slap.

From: Harry
Kinky. Tell me more. 👂👂👂

To: Harry
You're lucky I have a class in 5 otherwise I would.

From: Harry
Lol damn. Have fun teaching Shakespeare

To: Harry
It's not Shakespeare. It's Cinderella.

From: Harry
Rodgers and Hammerstein's?

To: Harry
Is there any other version?

From: Harry
Good man.

Louis locked his phone and looked up surprised to see Zayn sitting across from his desk.

"Oh, good you've noticed me." Zayn said

"You could have spoken." Louis told him as he set his phone down on the desk, "how long have you been there?"

"Long enough to know you have a secret boyfriend you haven't told me about. I get not wanting to tell Freddie or even your family, but me? Is it new? Is that why?" Louis hesitated; this would be the perfect chance to tell Zayn the lie that he has had a boyfriend for the past fourteen months. Or he could tell Zayn that it wasn't like that at all and he was reading the situation wrong.

"We both haven't told anyone anything. He has a daughter that goes to this school on the other side of the building, so it makes things delicate." Louis said
