Secrets

Harry P.O.V

We arrive at the restaurant and head to the tables that we have reserved. Paul is not too far behind us. Louis grabs my hand and I am startled for a second. Louis normally doesn't grab my hand out in public. He will only hold my hand if I make the first move to lace our fingers together. Something is definitely up. I hear the fans scream when Louis takes my hand and I can see the flashes of lights from the cameras as I look behind us to see how much of a crowd has gathered. Amazing the two girls that were there to begin with have grown to be a massive crowd. How do the fans and paparazzi know where we are in such a short amount of time?

I let Louis guide me to the back because my mind is wandering off to what I was thinking of earlier while I was getting ready for tonight. Louis is starting to ramble on which makes me even more worried about him. He only rambles on if he is nervous or really excited. Guessing by the fact that he was the one to reach for my hand in public my guess would be nerves. We sit down with me and louis across from Liam who smiles as Louis pulls my chair out for me like a gentleman. When Louis sits down I begin to run my hand up and down his leg in hopes of calming him down a little and yeah maybe to tease him a little. I sense him getting a little on edge. It could be from the teasing that Although as I think back to getting ready I did see Lou put something in the pocket of his trousers as I walked in to tell him time to go; I guess if it was important he would have told me by now. The weight of what was running through my mind evaporated when Louis says something to me.

"Hazza could you please stop rubbing my leg. I don’t know how much more teasing I can take. I know you don’t mean to but its getting a little uncomfortable in these tight pants. You’re not helping with the tightness.”
Yeah right Louis knows I meant to tease him and get him all wound up but I take my hand off of his leg. I turn my attention to the person on the other side of me and strike up a conversation. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Louis on his phone looking like he is wanting to vomit a little. I have to stop myself from laughing a little when Liam chokes on his water; if they knew that I was paying attention to what was happening then I might not find out what's wrong with Lou. It might just be the teasing or he could really not be feeling well. I barely hear Louis telling me that he has to go take care of something as I continue the conversation with Liam’s dad. However the chat doesn't last long when everyone switches seats so that Kate and Liam can sit together as well as Liam’s parents. which left me sitting next to Darren and Louis.

As Liam’s dad starts talking again once he is comfortably in his new seat. Geoff talks about how thrilled he is about Liam’s engagement to Kate I start to wonder where Lou has gone to and what it would be like to be engaged to Lou which I know will happen soon. While my mind wanders to the wonderful things that would come with being married to Louis, I barely have time to react to Lou coming back. As he sits down I kiss his cheek just like Liam showed us how to do so it looks like we are whispering into each others ear when photographed. I really have to thank Liam for everything, especially, helping me and Lou through all of this. When Louis is seated I begin to rub his back and just smile while looking at him and resume my previous train of thought. He is still unnerved about something. He turns and looks at me dragging me away from my train of thought again. A fond smile comes to his face, and I can feel him relax. I take my hand off his back and grab his placing it on my lap just as the food arrives. In some ways I wish Lou would do what he always does, forget management, and ask me to marry him but it will happen when the time is right. Either way I have a backup plan if Lou will not say fuck management this time. I can’t think of someone I would rather share this perfect night with than Lou.
