Locker 17

Chapter 33

*Harry's POV*

"Where do we stand?" he turns to face me, his eyes about to shed tears.

"W-What do you mean?" I say, my voice cracking at the end.

"What are we? What is this?" He waves his hand in between us.

I never really asked him to be in a relationship with me, I just asked him out on a date that's really it. I don't know what we are, or what I want us to be. I stay staring at him with my mouth open unable to find the right words to say.

Louis takes one last look at me and rushes to step out of the car. I can he him put his hands on his face as he walks up the driveway to his house. No no no I'm not going to loose him, not like this.

I step out of the car, leaving it running, and run over to stop Louis. I turn him around by his shoulders. His cheeks are wet and his eyes are tearing. Did I make him cry? We both stand there speechless. I look around the streets making sure there's no one in sight. When I see that there isn't anyone, I take a step closer to Louis. I cup my hand under his cheek and I place my other hand behind the arch of his back, pulling him closer to me.

"I love you Louis." I manage to finally get the words out of my mouth. I stare directly at his eyes, god they're beautiful. The way the green is around his dilated pupils and the way the blue just fills the rest.

I pull him even closer to me and softly kiss him. He hesitates at first, knowing that we're on his driveway in plain daylight, but then goes with it. His lips are a bit silky and the way he tugs at my piercing is exhilarating. It's a small kiss although it's unlike the few others we've had, this one wasn't rushed or anything, it just kinda happened.

We both step back and I let go of him.

"So are we.." He starts to say.

"Official?" I finish for him.

"Yeah."

"Great." I look at him with a smirk.

"But I just- I was asking-" I interrupt him yet again

"I finished asking and you said yes." He stands there with his mouth open, wanting to laugh of course.

"You little shit." He smacks me playfully with the back of his hand on my shoulder.

"See you tomorrow." I step on my heels and climb back to the car, leaving him standing there on his driveway.

*Louis' POV*

I can't believe he just did that. I stand on my driveway watching Harry drive away. Once he's nowhere in sight I walk back inside my house with a smile spread across my face. I touch my lips trying to somehow make me recall what just happened.

"Louis." My mum is standing in front of the kitchen sink, looking out the window.

"Yeah?" I walk back inside the kitchen where she's at.

"What did I just see?" Are you fucking kidding me.

"What?" I can feel the color drain from me, when she turns around to face me.

"Is that why you're late? You were 'spending time' with Harry? You can't be doing this Louis." Her tone is serious and harsh.

"I wasn't doing anything wrong mother. I got detention after school and I had to serve it. Harry just gave me a ride home." Is she really thinking otherwise.

"Oh really? What else happened in that car ride?" Just fucking shoot me now.

"You're being completely oblivious! You know Harry and you have for a long time. What's wrong with you?" I don't understand what her problem is. She knows I'm gay and she knows Harry.

"I'm sorry Louis but in the meantime, I don't want you to be more than friends with him ok, at least while I figure this out with Anne. I don't want her to freak or if she doesn't know about Harry." She can't tell Anne, hell no!

"You can't tell her! What is she going to think of me? What's Harry going to think of you!"

"Fine then. Just talk to Harry about it and settle it yourself but this better not interfere with my friendship with Anne, she's the only one I have." I leave her without another word and walk up to my room. I don't give a fuck about what she has to say.

...

*Harry's POV*

I get to my flat and see my mum's car not there. I pat on my pockets trying to find the keys.

"Fuck!' I say out loud to myself inside the car. I throw my head back, hitting it to the back of the seat. What am I supposed to do now? I sit inside the car for a couple minutes then it hits me. Why not throw Louis a little party, after all he has no friends other than Niall, I think? It's a little early to plan a party and all but better be safe than sorry...

I pull up to the store where they sell all the party shit. All the shit here seems to be for kids. The next aisle is full of sex toys and penis shaped lollipops, guess this could work? I stand there scanning through the items on the racks. There's literally nothing I can buy for Louis here.

"Wouldn't expect to see you here?" She asks, are you kidding me.

"What the fuck do you want?" I say.

"Hey hey, just here to help." She puts up her hands up defensively.

"Well then get to it." I wave to the rack.

"Hmm...This will work for whoever the occasion is for." She hands me a small tube and a box that she grabs from the rack.

"Lube and condoms? Really Gemma?" I wave them in front of her face. When I look behind her the blonde hair with the brown roots looks familiar. Niall, he's standing at the end of the aisle with wide eyes and open mouth. I try to hide the items behind my back but he's already seen them. He shakes his head and squints his eyes, then looking down at the floor in disappointment...towards me? Gemma's back is to him, by the time she turns around Niall's gone.

...

*Louis' POV*

I'm laying on my bed when my phone lights up. A text from Niall.

"Wait for me outside the office tomorrow morning. I need t tell you something."
