Chapter 11
Being short has its advantages; Louis fully understands that, but sometimes it can really suck balls. This is one of those times. Being a uni student cereal is a major part of Louis’ diet and he’s collected all his favorites aside from the Fruity Pebbles.
The brand was having some kind of promotional campaign going on which really wasn’t necessary considering how big the brand is but whatever. Due to this the boxes were arranged in some weird pyramid shape. As Louis is a short person he can’t reach the boxes in precarious positions so he opts for one near his face which was stupid. Extremely stupid in fact as within seconds he’s swamped with boxes and has to keep his head above them.
He then notices the tall, rather dashing store employee stood beside the mess, laughing and making no effort to help. Louis glares at him, looking like a mad kitten.
“Help me you fool, I’m drowning in Fruity Pebbles!” Louis snaps kicking his legs and pouting, looking royally pissed off as the boy, whose name is apparently Harry, begins to restack the boxes.
“Calm down princess, you’re knight in shining armor is here to save you” Harry chuckles, pulling Louis out once most of the boxes have been moved.
“More like prick in sweaty work clothes” Louis grumbles running a hand through his hair and sighing.
“Oh I’m sorry, would a date make it up to you?” Harry asks smirking slightly.
“Smooth, but I have a boyfriend” Louis says rolling his eyes slightly and picking up three boxes if Fruity Pebbles.
“Princess, no one who is coming into a grocery store at 11 at night to buy cereal, ice cream and a $2.99 copy of love actually has a significant other” Harry chuckles, poking Louis’ cheek and rolling his eyes.
“Well if you want to take me out you have to watch love actually with me and pay for whatever takeout pizza we get” Louis says crossing his arms and cocking his hip out.
“Deal, my shift ends in half an hour so why don’t you just sit here and look pretty while I finish cleaning this up” Harry says bending down to pick up the boxes as Louis watches.
They have domino's pizza that night and Harry even orders the brownies. He’s a keeper if Louis’ ever saw one.
