My Fairytale - Larry AU boyxboy

Chapter 21

When they arrived to the restaurant, Gemma and Ashton weren't there yet. It was an Italian restaurant which wasn't very posh but it was nice.

"Table for two?" The hostess asked.

"For four." Harry corrected with a polite smile.

She returned the smile, "Very well then. Follow me."

After she led them to their table, they chose to wait for them before ordering anything.

"So, tell me, how did your quiz go?" Harry asked, playing with Louis' fingers.

Louis nodded, "Pretty good, actually." He answered looking at Harry lacing their fingers together.

"And guess what?"

Louis looked up to see Harry, who was giving him puppy-eyes.

"I have some more Sociology homework. Could you help me, please?" Harry dragged the 'e'.

Louis chuckled, "Sure, love."

Then Harry looked up and Louis followed his gaze, finding Gemma and Ashton walking towards their table holding hands. They both stood up at the same time.

"Hello, Gem." Harry greeted.

Louis gave her a kiss after Harry.

"So, this is Ashton." Gemma said, gesturing to her boyfriend.

"Harry Styles," Harry shook his hand a bit stronger than usual.

"Nice meeting you," Ashton smiled.

"And Louis Tomlinson," Louis offered his hand as well.

"Hello," Ashton shared the same smile, then he squinted his eyes for a second, "Wait, do I know you?" he asked Louis.

Louis felt a chill running along his back, "I don't believe so," He acted normal.

"You look very familiar to me," Ashton insisted, but not getting anything apart from a faint memory.

Louis seriously wanted to snap at him and tell him to drop it, but Ashton wasn't being annoying. He probably was just looking for a conversation opener.

Thankfully for him, Gemma spoke up, "He was at the ball party a while ago, maybe that's why you remember him."

"Mm, yeah, that could be it," Ashton settled with that.

"Let's take a seat," Harry suggested catching the waiter's attention so they could order their drinks.

Ashton pulled out the chair for Gemma, which Louis found cute.

"Thanks, Ash." Gemma smiled.

She sat down in front of Harry, so that left Ashton in front of Louis.

"God, I'm starving." Gemma muttered, already studying the menu.

"Me too," Harry coincided doing the exact same thing.

"D'you wanna share a pizza?" Gemma asked Ashton.

"Sure," he simply replied.

Gemma happily returned to her menu going through the pizzas section.

Harry was still reading the menu, biting his lip. Louis couldn't help but stare.

"What are you feeling like?" Harry asked Louis. A crooked smile appeared on his lips when he caught Louis staring.

Louis scanned his menu, "The ravioli caught my attention," He said already craving them.

"Good choice," Harry agreed.
