Unexpected Love

Chapter 18

P.O.V Cortnee

Today is Christmas Eve; which it’s also Louis’ birthday. Liam and I have the whole house decorated for Christmas. We have a huge tree at the entrance, which looks lovely. He went out with boys this morning for last minute shopping. I had to stay home and wrap the gifts. I thought I’d be fun to hide gifts in the closet and put from Santa on it.

I had the boys’ albums playing through the speakers; which are all around the house. I of course sing to him. I was starting to get sleepy but I really wanted the house to look amazing because we are having a huge party tonight. I was roasting and cooking ham and turkey. I needed to start baking the cakes and pie. I had to make the cookies and brownies. I will probably make some sandwiches.

It’s been hours since the boys left and I was starting to wonder where they have gone. I looked at the garage to see if they had pulled in yet. Nope. I decided to keep on baking.

P.O.V Liam

The boys and I had to go for the last minute shopping and finally arrived home hours later. We quietly walked into the house. I heard Cortnee singing to still the one. She wasn’t singing it like how some girls sing it, loud. She was singing it like she was the artist of it. Me and boys walked to the kitchen door way and she didn’t see us and continued to sing. We watched her sing. I cleared my throat to get her attention.

She jumped. “Oh hi boys,” her face grew red. “How long have you boys been standing there?” she started to get nervous. “Long enough to hear you sing” I winked. The boys laughed and her face got redder. She turned to mix whatever she is making. “Don’t you think you cooked enough” I questioned her. “Shut up Liam. Cortnee continue cooking” Niall said. “Babe, you really are supposed to be off your feet.” She shook her head “I’m fine” she smiled up at me.

Cortnee wasn’t big, I have seen girls only having one baby and that was bigger than her at 8 months. When we go out she would wear huge jackets but when she’s home she will wear a tank top and leggings.

“Please go sit down for a little bit.” I tried to get her out of the kitchen; “I’m fine.” she smiled at me. “When you start hurting, please go lay in bed” I told her kissing her head. “Happy Birthday, Louis” she smiled at him. “Don’t ignore me” I told her. She went back to cooking. I brushed it off and went to the sitting room. The boys followed.

P.O.V Cortnee

I really am sick of him worrying about me. I really need to make sure this party was perfect, no matter what.  I was starting to bake Louis’ birthday cake.

I finally finished baking all the food. I didn’t want to bother the boys, so headed to my room. I checked my phone; it was 3, only 3 more hours to the party. I picked out an outfit, a red dress and red vans. I got into the shower, the hot water rushed over my body. I looked down, I couldn’t see my feet. Usually when I had a long day I stay in the shower for longer than 10 minutes, which I did.

I did my hair and slid my dress on me. I walked to my bed to sit down. I started to have pains, but I needed to ignore them. This party has to happen. Tons of people are coming. I slowly walked down the long flight of stair. The boys sounded to be in the theater. I walked in and they were playing fifa. “Boys, the party is going to be starting soon, shouldn’t you head home to get dressed. “You aren’t our mums” harry said.

I really was clear with him, I still couldn’t take him. “Excuse me” I said with an attitude and left the room, slamming the door. I am so sick of this shit. I want everything to be perfect, and he goes and says that. “Fucking twat” I said under my breath, I jumped when hands wrapped around me, moved away I thought I was harry. “Let go” I said loudly “why” It was Liam. “Oh it’s you” when I said that he let go “who did you think it was?” he sounded aggravated “Harry” I mumbled.
