@grasshoppertommo: hey

@grasshoppertommo: helloooo

@grasshoppertommo: hoes wya 

@grasshoppertommo: i feel so abandoned😢

I look up from my phone to make a face at the pouting blonde.

"Niall, I'm literally sitting across from you," I say, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah, but I want to talk to Liam or Zayn," Niall shut off his phone and set it in his lap, crossing his legs. "Fuck, I'll even settle for William."

"Then why did you invite me over?" I ask.

"Because I'm hungry, Harry!" Niall whined, sticking his bottom lip out and crossing his arms. 

"Why can't you cook your own food?" I sigh. I stand up from the dirty, ripped up couch and Niall's eyes light up. 

"You cook better than me." He fixes his hair and follows me as I walk to the kitchen. He bends down to pick up his cat on the way there.

Niall's cat is a chubby American-shorthair with amber colored eyes. He hisses and scratches at Niall, who curses and sets the cat back down.

"That cat is Satan himself." He mutters, touching the scratches on his arms.

"Maybe if you didn't name him "Nando's" he would like you better," I chuckle, opening the refrigerator and scanning its contents. "What do you want to eat?"

Niall hums and sits down at the stool behind the kitchen island.

"Chicken and waffles." I silently take the ingredients out of the fridge and set them on the counter, then go to a cabinet to take out the ingredients for waffles.

I start preparing the food and Niall laughs.

"What's so funny?" I ask, continuing to stir the waffle batter.

"Group chat." Of course. "Zayn is so fed up with Liam, it's hilarious."

"What? Why?" I frown and move on to the chicken.

"You know, Liam is just so oblivious to everything, and Zayn is trying to explain, I don't know. It's just amusing."

"What is he explaining?" I ask and Niall sighs.

"Geez, this must be what Will felt like yesterday. It's just question after question, isn't it?"

"I could burn your entire house down right now." I raise an eyebrow at the lad who makes a face at me.

"I wouldn't try that, Curly." He says and returns to his phone, a smile appearing on his face immediately. I roll my eyes and return my attention to the food I'm cooking for Niall. As the chicken continues to fry, I pull the waffle iron from its shelf and pour the batter I made into it.

"Shit, shit!" Niall curses and types at his device rapidly.

"Is Louis online?" I ask, pulling my phone out of my back pocket and checking to see if I have Twitter notifications. I don't.

"No, but we got new pap pics." He grimaces and I smile. 

"Really?" I open Instagram and scroll down the page, instantly seeing the new pictures of Louis.

And Taylor Swift.

"Ugh, what's he doing with her?" Niall scoffs, frowning at the pictures on his phone.

"Picking her up from the airport, I think." I swipe to see more pictures; one of Louis greeting Taylor with a hug, another where he's carrying her bag for her, and another where she's getting into his car. I close out of Instagram and open Twitter instead.

@randomaccount1: new pap pics omg, are they together?

@randomaccount2: ok but they're so hot together

@randomaccount3: [replying to @randomaccount3] right? #laylor

@randomaccount4: look, louis' holding her bag for her! its a signnnnn

"Bullshit." Niall says. "I call bullshit."

"I agree," I say, taking the waffle out of the iron and refilling it with more batter. I then take the chicken from the pan and put it onto the plate next to the waffle. I hand the plate to Niall, who beams at me and instantly starts inhaling the food.

I open Twitter and go to the group chat.

@hedgehoglou: did you see the new pap pics?

@toystorylou: yep, i did

@backtoyoufool: agreed

@grasshoppertommo: louis looks good in the new pictures

"Have you seriously finished eating already?" I slap my forehead as Niall nods and wipes his face with his sleeve.

"Can I have some more?"

"Get it yourself, the chicken is in the pan and the other waffle just finished." He whines but stands up to get himself some more food. I sit on the the stool next to his and lean on the counter.

@backtoyoufool: taylor looks good too tho

@hedgehoglou: oh, you like taylor?

@backtoyoufool: she's ok

@hedgehoglou: k

Niall sets a plate down in front of me and returns to his stool.

"Thanks," I say, smiling at him. He hums at me and continues eating. I pick up my fork and cut into the waffle.

@toystorylou: "#laylor? back-to-you-singer louis tomlinson 's new relationship with taylor swift shocks fans!

@grasshoppertommo: fan-fuckin-tastic

@pastellouis: oh

"The Sun can suck my dick," Niall mutters under his breath as he opens the newspaper's webpage. Sure enough, there on the front, is the Louis Tomlinson-Taylor Swift article. I click on the link for Niall and lean on him to see the article.

We read in silence, not speaking a word even when we've both finished reading.

I close out of the group chat and compose a new tweet.

@hedgehoglou: so, holding the door open for a woman, or carrying her bag for her means you're dating her? i'm pretty sure that's just called be kind and chivalrous.

I lock my phone and slip it into my pocket, standing up from the counter.

"Niall, I'm gonna head home." The blonde looks up from his plate of food to meet my eyes.

"You can sleep over if you want," he offered, wiping his face on his sleeve again. I shake my head.

"I have work tomorrow. Thanks, though."

"Aight, drive safe." He smiles and waves goodbye to me and I walk out the front door to my car. Unlocking the door, I climb in the driver's seat and set my phone in the cup holder. It vibrates intensely as I pull out of Niall's driveway, but I decide to ignore it.

I reach my apartment and park outside, taking the keys from the ignition and putting them back into my pocket.

Louis must be on Twitter again, I think as I pick up my phone and close the car door. I unlock the front door and take off my shoes, sitting down on the couch and unlocking my phone.

I have 789 new Twitter notifications.

My heart starts to beat faster and my hands start to shake as I open the app and enter the group chat.

@grasshoppertommo: HARRY OMG

@toystorylou: HARRY CONGRATS

@backtoyoufool: luckkyyy😭😭

No, I don't believe it.

I exit the group and check my notifications.

I have 452 new retweets and 337 new likes. But most importantly, at the top of the list:

·Louis Tomlinson liked your tweet: so, holding the door open for a woman, or carrying her bag...
