You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall,
You gave me nothing at all,
But still you're in my way
"So, guys, do you know that Harry just made out with hot dude?" Zayn asked with a smirk while Harry was blushing madly. They were walking back home after partying for at least three more hours when Harry and Louis separated. Harry found Zayn just a few centimeters where he last left him and took him by the hand, not even wanting to look at him. Zayn was laughing and teasing Harry whole the time till they found Niall and Liam. He didn't say anything till now. It started again. Liam and Niall looked at Harry in shock till he was just facing the ground.
"Seriously?" Liam asked and Harry nodded, feeling just a little embarrassed. He wasn't much comfortable with talking about that in front of his friends but still, they were best friends and they shared almost everything. So Harry guessed he has nothing to be ashamed about. Louis was an amazing guy and he just hoped he will hear from him again. "Talk, now!"
"Okay, okay… He's from England too and his name's Louis. He's twenty-one and I kind of gave him my number so I'm freaking out right now because I don't have his number and I really, really want him to call me." Zayn chuckled again till Liam and Niall just gave him a warming smiles.
"Awwww, our Hazza fell in love. How sweet is that? So, how was the kiss?" Niall said. Harry blushed even more, if that was possible. They were now just a minute from the mansion and he couldn't wait to come to his room and go to sleep. It was already three in the morning and he was tired from the trip and long day.
"First, I did not fell in love. I can't fall in love in someone that I just danced and little talked with, okay? And second… do I really need to answer that?" They all nodded impatiently waiting for Harry's replay. They all entered the house but Harry knew he wasn't going to get out of talking about it. "Um… I don't know how to describe it. It was like… fireworks and my stomach kind of twisted, I don't know." Zayn, Niall and Liam shared one look and that was enough.
"He's in love", they all said at the same time. Harry groaned and threw a pillow on them that he took from couch. He didn't listen to them anymore. He picked himself in his room, getting ready for sleep. He couldn't wait to go to bed, to sleep and then wake up in the morning praying for Louis to call him.
But it wasn't that easy. He'd lied on the bed and closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to get him. But, that never happened. He found himself thinking about Louis all the time. He couldn't get him out of his mind and it was driving him crazy. He was tired, he just couldn't fall asleep. Louis' smile was flashing in his mind - his gleeful and charming voice; his dazzling blue eyes that were filled with joy; the way he was looking at Harry and the way he danced. Harry groaned annoyingly and punched the pillow with his head. He never felt this way and that was absolutely crazy. He didn't even know a guy for few hours and he still found himself falling for him, even though he didn't want to admit it. He was frustrated and all he wanted to do was sleep. He tried to calm himself down, taking deep breaths. He relaxed his muscles that were so tense. He tried to think about anything but Louis – and it kind of worked. He managed to fall asleep in four in the morning, hoping that, this time, he will sleep for a long time.
Annoying ringing woke Harry up from his beauty sleep. He groaned, not getting who the fuck needed him now. He knew that if it's Gemma, he will gently kill her. Not even thinking for a second, he picked his iPhone up and answered. "Hello?" He said with yawn and he heard person from the other side chuckling. Immediately, last night flashed in his mind and he remembered the person he wanted to hear the most.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" He didn't recognized voice and he didn't like that fact. Who was that, for God's sake?
"No, I was just faking it", he said sarcastically but person from the other side just laughed.
"You're always this grumpy in the morning? By the way, I know you have no idea who I am, so I'm keeping you sweating; thought maybe you will remember." Harry blinked few times. How could he be so stupid? He thought he will always recognize that voice and now, he made a fool of himself and made a bad second impression. Dammit.
"Louis?" He heard a chuckle again and he couldn't help but to smile widely. "O my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't… I, ugh, I hate myself in the morning. I don't function at all. I was like 'Who the fuck dares to wake me up?' I'm always like that. Sorry." He could almost see Louis shaking his head and he couldn't help but to smile wider on that thought. Damn, he absolutely hated what that boy was doing to him.
"No problem, pretty boy. Your looks will save you this time. Be happy I still have a picture of you in my mind." Harry laughed and he couldn't help but notice that Louis called him 'pretty boy' twice already. Did that mean something? He liked how it sounded coming from Louis and he wanted him to say that more often… if there was going to be a chance.
"And I completely forgot about you. How do you look like again? Black hair, brown eyes, right?" He said and they both laughed at the same time. "Am, yeah, you're haunting me, hottie. Because of your stupid smile I barely fell asleep last night." Then he realized what he said. He shut his mouth, staring in front of himself blankly. He tried to find words again. "I-I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to hear that", he murmured, getting up from the bed and trying not to think of the possibility that he might've just ruined everything.
"It's okay. I think it's kind of cute." He could feel him smiling. "Listen, I was thinking… maybe you and your friends would like to go to the beach this afternoon. You know, I would show you around 'cause you just came here and all and, well, hang out with you and everything." He was embarrassed and Harry couldn't help but to laugh. He found it adorable. Louis was trying to… what? See him again?
"Aw, doesn't famous Louis have friends?" He teased and Louis chuckled.
"I have friends, pretty boy, but they went to L.A. I would've been gone too if I didn't have business to finish. Now I'm glad that I did. Anyway, where do you even live?" Harry smiled. He really didn't know if his summer would be so fun without Louis. He picked red, short trousers and white and red tank top to wear. He wanted to look as best as he could. How did Louis manage to change him like that?
"I'm glad you did too. And I live in that big mansion. Um, Horan's mansion – do you know it?" Louis managed to chuckle again and Harry hoped he will hear it as often as he hears it now.
"Of course I know. Actually, we're just three houses away from each other. Meet me halfway there in, say, three o'clock?" Harry burst out laughing. He couldn't help his thoughts. Yep, he hated them sometimes. He managed to bring himself together for an answer. But Louis was laughing too, so it was a good thing.
"Okay, I will. See you at three." Louis answered him with 'See ya!' and then they hung up. Harry almost screamed from joy when his iPhone ended up on the bed. It was eleven o'clock and he still had four hours. He wasn't sure how he's going to control himself for that time. He dressed up, fixing his hair just a little bit, and then he came running downstairs, with huge smile on his face. Boys were sitting on a couch in a living room and talked about something when they noticed Harry. "Hello, my dear boys." They looked at him like he just told them he's from Gallafrey and that he's Time Lord. Harry didn't even infiltrate between them. He sat on a sofa instead.
"Harry? What's going on?" Zayn asked suspiciously. Harry couldn't take the smile off his face even though his face started to hurt. Boy, what Louis was doing to him.
"Erm, Louis called." Boys needed few more seconds till room burst with laughter and happy cheering. "Yeah, yeah, listen. I kind of told him he can show us around the beach and all if that's okay." Boys were smiling like crazy and Harry felt like a stone fell from his heart from relief.
"Of course! I want to meet this guy. He seems like an amazing guy. And he's hot." Harry found it funny coming from Zayn's mouth. Even though he was straight, Harry thought that, if he could see if some girl was hot, then Zayn could see if some guy's hot.
"Damn, when Zayn says he's hot, he must be hard to handle for us", Niall said, referring to gay people. Harry got lost in his thoughts again, going back to last night. The sensation he felt when he kissed him. He definitely wanted to feel that again. The taste of Louis' lips was sweet and irresistible. Harry wanted to do it again and he was hoping he will feel it soon. Time seemed to pass by slowly. Boys were talking about every little thing they remembered and that seemed to distract Harry for a little bit. Still, his thoughts were basically occupied by Louis. After one hour, they got out of the house and went to swim in the pool. Water was fresh and warm and, Harry was surprised that they haven't seen Rick anywhere. They were acting like children with those plastic guns on water and drowning each other every time they got the chance. Harry even managed to bump his head against the pool tiles. His head hurt really badly and he was praying there will be no knag. He really had a bunch of a hair on his head and nobody will see it but he thought of Louis' fingers running down his hair and he really didn't need a knag. Even though he knew it was inevitably, he didn't lose his hope.
Pool was good distraction and, before he even knew it, they were out of the water, getting changed in new, dry pair of trunks. Harry wore blue ones that were reaching his knees so he just put on his shirt. They packed their towels and they were ready. Harry was burning from excitement almost as same as Zayn last night. Grin wouldn't leave his face and his feet wouldn't listen and stay on one place.
"Okay, guys. You can wait here. I'm going to pick Louis up." They all nodded and Harry was gone before they even got to say anything. Harry was hot on his feet. He barely fought the urge to run just to get there sooner. He already knew that Louis won't be there immediately. Houses were big so they were separated from each other pretty much. Niall's mansion was on little hill so there was an ascent. Then he ran. He ran pass it and after that he could see Louis coming closer. His smile just got bigger and all he wanted to was to jump into his arms and kiss those sweet lips. But he started walking again, trying to look cool and calm as best as he could. Inside, he was on fire. Seeing Louis again was the only thing he wanted at that moment. After just few more meters, he saw Louis' big smile and Harry couldn't help but to think that he looks even more beautiful. His brown hair was shining at the sun and his eyes sparkled just a little more. Harry could see across that shirt he was wearing, that he had a good body. He stopped his thoughts there. Then he'd done something he thought he won't ever be brave to do. When Louis and Harry met halfway there, Harry placed a little kiss on Louis' lips without even saying anything. Louis happily returned the kiss.
"Hey." Harry murmured against Louis' lips, a smile playing on his lips. Louis grinned and they started walking.
"You're going to do that every time you want, right?" Harry chuckled and he was impressed, again, how well Louis could read him. It was like he was a mind reader. When Harry thought about it, he was hotter than Edward Cullen – much hotter.
"Pretty much, yeah." Louis shook his head and then looked at Harry's eyes once again. They were so comfortable around each other. It's like they knew each other for years and not for just few hours.
"Okay, then I have a permission to do so, too?" Harry grinned and nodded his head. "Okay then", he said, grabbed Harry's shirt and kissed him once again. None of the boys allowed the kiss to go deeper because they both knew they can't control their crazy hormones. As they started walking again, Harry wondered what boys could see – probably everything. Well, now he wasn't ashamed.
"So just to warn you: My friends are absolutely crazy. They want to know every little thing so, well; they know everything that happened last night." Louis chuckled. "Liam and Niall are the lovey-dovey couple that are together since first day of high school and they will probably be all over you; don't even be surprised by it. And Zayn is the only straight guy in our group and he's amazing person but he's too shy around girls, so he kind of needs more courage. I'm working on that." They were walking up hill and Harry could see guys gaping at them. Well, gaping wasn't the right word. They were staring at them without even blinking. Liam's and Niall's jaws were dropped open till Zayn tried to hold back a laugh but still looking like he saw a God. "Told ya so." Louis couldn't help but to let out a little chuckle and Harry could swear that Niall almost fainted. Damn, this will be embarrassing. "Um, guys, this is Louis. Guy I was talking you about." The blush crept on his face and he didn't even try to hide it. Louis smiled widely and offered his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Liam, Niall and… Zayn, right?" Zayn smiled and took Louis' hand.
"Aw, he already knows our names, how sweet. And you're sweet. We can see now why our friend Hazza is so all over you." Harry wanted to slap Zayn hard but he held himself. He blushed even deeper and he couldn't find words to say. Louis laughed.
"Oh, so it's a good thing I'm so all over him too, right?" Louis winked. Harry could feel his heart getting louder, his blood heating up and his whole body shaking. He almost fell. Then Niall and Liam came on spotlight.
"Damn, mate, he was right. You're hot. I don't know when the last time I saw a guy hot like you is. Well, except Niall of course." The only thing Harry wanted was for Earth to burry him alive. But Louis was laughing and acting like there's nothing embarrassing in things they were saying.
"Okay, now I definitely know you share everything that happens. Guess I'll have to be more careful next time", he said and winked at Harry. Harry tried to act cool but it was more than hard. He smiled lazily and put his arm around Louis' shoulders; he wasn't good at hiding his feelings very well.
"Boys, let's move. We won't even get there if we continue like this." Then they finally headed toward the beach, making small talk as they walked. Harry's hand stayed around Louis just because Louis said that he would be sad if it's gone which made Harry chuckle. Harry and Louis agreed that they will definitely find a girl for Zayn even though Zayn tried to object. Louis found a fact that Zayn is the only straight man in that weird group funny, so he was teasing him all the way down to beach. Liam and Niall haven't even tried to hide their excitement over Louis, and Harry wanted to punch them. Maybe then, they would come to their senses. But Louis was so comfortable and relaxed and he acted like it was all normal to him. Harry was already so impressed with Louis that he couldn't hide it anymore. That little twinkle in his eyes and soft smile were saying everything.
Louis wanted to put his head on Harry's shoulder and relax a little bit in his secured arms. He looked calmed and relaxed but, in reality, he was tensed up. More than anything, he wanted for Harry's friends to like him – and Harry too. Harry's opinion started to be important to him the first time he was in his arms and they were smiling at each other. He still wasn't sure what he's actually feeling because it was all happening so fast. He didn't know Harry for a long time and he already fell for a guy – he knew that much. He was funny, incredibly cute, confident and beautiful. Louis couldn't take his eyes off him. He had such addictive personality and Louis hoped that he wasn't ruining everything with his weird behaviour. He was trying and it was just for Harry. He liked Harry's friends. They were all great company and Louis could tell that he will find friends in them. The first day his friends went to L.A., he was disappointed. He hated that his college commitments weren't giving him opportunity to go with them. But, after last night, he was kind of glad he didn't go. He probably never would've met Harry. There are always good things in bad ones.
They finally came on the beach that was filled with people. Harry was gaping with his mouth wide opened like he just saw a miracle. It was just hard for him to believe that people were almost sitting on one another. But, it seemed like Louis knew where to go. He told them to follow him and they did. They needed to skip few people till they came to a part that looked like it was less filled with people. Harry thought that it was weird for little place like this to have many tourists. Still, people were smart and it wasn't so hard to read a map and find some interesting place. There were some deck chairs so they rented them. Liam and Niall put theirs next to each other, Zayn's was in the middle and Harry and Louis were next to each other. They didn't hesitate for a moment – they removed their T-shirts but before Louis and Harry went to the ocean, Louis noticed something interesting.
"You have four nipples?" He asked and Harry smirked.
"Yup." Louis' lips were dry so he licked them. Harry couldn't help but notice it. He smirked once again and put his hands around Louis' waist, pulling him closer. "It seems like these lips need something to make them feel alive." He kissed Louis softly and Louis left a soft moan. Harry was taken aback by his reaction but he didn't stop kissing him. Louis pulled away at the time –on both, Louis' and Harry's – disappointment. He smiled weakly and that was it. They walked toward entrance. Let the fun begin!
