Royalty

Chapter 1

Louis

"Tomlinson, you're on in five!" I got up from the sofa and took one last drag of the blunt Niall and I were smoking. "Ready, Pal?" I asked him. "Ready when you are" he said with a smile. Niall was my guitarist and best mate for my entire life. Our mothers were together in high school and we knew each other from the minute we were born. At some point we decided to start our own band with me as a lead singer, him as a guitarist and Ashton, our drummer. We started at 15 and now, three years later, we make quite some money of little performances in random bars all over London. We are just three guys that enjoy making indie-type music so why not make some money off of it.

"Let's do it" Ashton said. We got on stage and prepared ourselves. Niall took his guitar and adjusted his mic while Ash took his drummstics. The attention of the people in the bar was drawn towards us as the owner announced us. Niall started the first chords of our song "don't let it break your heart" which we wrote just a month ago. I started singing softly and concentrated on getting the notes as we only began and people were still listening. The song was very fun to play and easy to sing which is why I decided to look around the crowd a bit. It was mostly people in their mid-twenties that visited this bar which meant that I'd find a good hook up later on.

I let my gaze shift towards the bar where a guy whose hood covered most of his face was sitting. He was looking right at me with piercing green eyes standing out under his voluminous hair. I looked him right in the eye when I sang the words "Oh what ever tears you apart. Don't let it break your heart" just because he looks like he needed it. I gave him a small smile as I turned towards the other people again. They were talking to their friends and were lowkey dancing to the music. I could still feel his eyes on me so I looked at him again. He was now smiling at me as we ended the song. The crowd was clapping and we got of the stage. The owner thanked us and I was already searching for the guy with the green eyes. "Louis, you comin'?" Niall asked. "Yeah of course" I replied as I couldn't see him. We ended up going to the bar after taking care of our equipment and I was hoping that he would still be there somewhere.

Suddenly someone behind me tapped me on my back and I turned around. "Hey. I really liked your singing earlier" He said. And it was actually the guy who looked at me. "Thank you" I said not really knowing what else to answer. He smiled at me awkwardly before proposing to buy me a drink. I thankfully accepted his offer and we sat down at the bar. "So what's your name?" I asked him. "I'm Harry. And you?" "I'm Louis. So you come here often?" I asked him. "Nah. This was actually a one time thing to be honest. Though I was quite lucky with the music this evening!" he said laughing. I couldn't help but blush at his words. He was very handsome and sweet but probably not gay. At least he wasn't acting as if he was but I could already feel myself developing a crush."Is singing your full timt job?" Harry asked curiously. "Nah, I'm actually only eighteen and still in my senior year in high school. But I'm out in two months so..." I admitted. I didn't want to bring up that I was still in high school so early because it would minimize my chances even more. "Oh I see. Well I finished school last year. I would have guessed you were older though." Now that was a surprise. I would have guessed he was about 20 years old by his looks. "Then what do you do?" I asked him. He turned towards the bar and took a sip of his drink. "What do you think?" he asks back. I didn't really know what to reply to that so I just kept looking at him. "Fine. I don't work. I'm taking a break after school. Kind of... I don't know" he rambled. "Anyways would you like to get out of here?" he asked. This took me a bit by surprise but I was absolutely down for a night with a very hot guy. "Yeah sure let me just say bye to my band mates ok? I'll meet you outside." I said as we got up from our chairs.

"Ready?" Harry asked as I stepped outside. The cold October air hitting me. We walked through pile of leaves towards the parking lot. It was already getting dark as we made our way to his car. He stopped in front of an oldtimer which I thought was really cool." Wow this is really cool. I love oldtimers! But this must have cost a fortune" I said amazed. "I'm glad you like it Louis. Now get in would you" Harry laughed. I obidiently got in the car as Harry sat down next to me in the driver's seat. "Now where are we going?" I asked. "I don't know. Are you hungry?"

We ended up getting food at Pizza hut. We didn't talk much during the ride. We were sitting in the car and listening to music while I would sing along occasionally. Harry said that he liked my voice, which obviously made me blush... a lot.

As we walked towards the building, Harry was always glancing at me. "Why are you staring at me?" I laughed. He immediately turned away and stared at the floor. "Nothing to be embarrassed about. I was just curious" I smiled at him as an attempt to comfort him. He looked me in the eye and it looked like he realised something. "You really don't know, do you? I thought the question about my job was weird but you really don't seem to know." He said in disbelief. "Don't know what?" Now this got me suspicious. Was he some famous serial killer that I had to know? "I'm Harry. Prince Harry." Still no clue what he was talking about. Was he some famous singer? Or maybe he was... indeed a prince. Now I don't know a lot about the British royals but I do know that there's a Harry. Would it be possible that this is prince Harry infront of me? "You mean like... A royal?" I said slowly, not trying to be rediculous if he was joking. "Yeah well what other princes are there?" he said jokingly but his nervousness was very obvious. "Oh" I just said. "Well that's exciting. How do you feel about that pizza though 'cause I'm starving" I then said after considering my options. I could be mad at him for not telling me earlier which wouldn't make any sense, or spend time with a nice and hot guy who even happens to be a prince. "So you don't mind?" "Well under the circumstances I would mind if you weren't paying but you're still the same guy to me as just a minute ago. Or do you want me to call you your highness because then I'm out." I said jokingly. He just laughed and I guided him into the restaurant by placing my hand on his lower back. "Where do you want to sit?" I asked him. "I don't know. Maybe over there?" he pointed towards a booth at the window. "Sure. Wherever you want." We walked towards the booth with my hand still lingering on his back. He didn't seem to be uncomfortable so I decided to remove it only when we took our seat across each other.

Soon a waiter came to our table to take our order. "What can I bring you?" he asked while he flattered his eyelashes at me, obviously trying to flirt. Harry cleared his throat and gave his order. It was obvious that the waiters behavior was bothering him. I quickly gave my order aswell and let out a sigh of relief when the waiter left. So did Harry. "Everything alright, Harry?" I asked. "'m fine" he said through gritted teeth. "Harry relax it was just some horny guy trying to flirt" That seemed to calm him enough to look at me and giving me a smile. "Okay" he just said. I smiled at him one last time before our drinks were served. "Thank you" I said politely to the waiter who was now eying Harry. But Harry was not having it. He glared at the waiter who was shocked by his mean behavior. Soon after our Pizzas were brought to our table and we immediately stuffed our mouths with the food. I moaned at the taste of the Pizza. Harry looked at me with a smirk. "What?" I chuckled. "Nothing" he laughed. I shrugged it off as I continued eating. I let our another moan just to see if it would cause the same reaction. Harry's head shot up as soon as the sound escaped my lips. "Stop it" he chuckled. "What?" I asked again. I was about to do it again just to trigger smother reaction when he let out a moan as he chewed his slice of pizza. And sweet Jesus what that did to me. My head shot up and I looked at him shockingly. "What?" he asked while making hudge puppy eyes. "I know what you did there" I said. "You do?" "I do" I decided to leave it at that and continued eating my pizza. Harry just laughed and did the same.

We eventually finished eating our Pizza and Harry went to pay as I got all our things. Harry got back and took his jacked with our hands brushing at the movement. It made me blush and Harry just smirked. We made our way to the car and sat inside. Harry's smirk was still present on his face as he turned to look at me. "So what do you wanna do next?" I asked. "You tell me" he murmured while moving closer. I decided to go with it as I also leaned in. Our lips were just about to connect as Harry pulled back. "Fuck" he said and let his hand ran through his hair. I was too embarrassed to say anything so I just looked at him and trying to hide my emotions. "Sorry" He apologized. "This is not your fault it's just... I can't do this... Right now." he rambled. "Right now or ever?" I asked more curious. I was over my embarrassement as I wanted to know what was going on inside his head. "I don't know" he just said as he started the car.
