20.

Louis, Liam, and I were all out at the local café, waiting for Danielle to show up. I had practically begged Liam to have Dani and I meet. Once Liam asked her, she said she was all up for it.

Liam and I were laughing at some joke Louis had said, when we heard a bell ring from the front door, indicating that someone walked in. I looked back in my seat towards the door, seeing Danielle walk inside.

Liam stood up, and once Danielle saw Liam, she grinned, walking forward and wrapping her arms around his waist in a hug. Louis and I smiled, standing up alongside the couple, hand in hand.

Once Danielle and Liam's hug broke, Dani turned to face me. "Hey! It's so nice to finally meet you!"

I couldn't help but break out in a grin. "You too! I've been dying to meet you." I admitted shyly, laughing.

"Same here, don't worry. Liam here never shuts up about you." Danielle laughed, looking up at her boyfriend. I gave Liam a playful glare. "Oh god, what does he say about me?"

"Just how you're the perfect little sister and he loves you to death." She giggled, seeing Liam starting to become sheepish.

"Aw! Liam loves his little sister." I teased, talking like a little toddler. Liam reached his hand forward, ruffling my hair playfully. "Oh hush up, Avery."

"I can already tell we're going to be great friends." Dani commented, smiling at me. Danielle was honestly just downright beautiful. Liam was a lucky fellow.

I nodded in agreement, smiling. "I think so, too."

"Well, I say we head out for a double date. So you two can get to know each other better." Liam suggested, and Dani and I both nodded excitedly. "Let's do it!"

"Where should we go?" Louis asked with a chuckle, not letting go of my hand as we walked out of the café.

I thought for a second.

"How about that nice restaurant down the street from here?" Louis asked, smiling down at me. I looked up at him, and nodded with a small smile.

"Restaurant it is." Liam chuckled, slipping his sunglasses over his eyes, Louis doing the same. Louis had his red beanie resting on the top of his head.

We walked towards the restaurant, Dani and Liam walking in front of us, holding hands. I looked around us, hoping that no one would spot the two lads. We just wanted some privacy for the four of us. Thankfully, the streets weren't so crowded today even though it was a Friday. Louis squeezed my hand reassuringly, probably knowing what I was thinking about.

At the end of the street, we arrived at a small but nice looking restaurant at the corner. The four of us headed inside, walking up to the front desk. "Table for four, please." Liam spoke up, the waitress lady looking up from her notepad.

Her eyes widened a bit when she noticed who the guys were. Liam and Louis chuckled, glancing at each other. "Sorry.. huge fan." The lady mumbled quietly, grabbing several menus for us. She had to be in her early twenties.

"It's quite alright, love!" Louis said cheerfully, showing off his smile that was to die for. She smiled widely, directing us to a booth near the back of the restaurant.

We all sat down as she handed the each of us a menu. Louis and I on one side of the booth, Dani and Liam on the other.

The lady, Sally, walked off reluctantly, leaving us to decide what we wanted to eat. Louis leaned over in his seat, planting a soft kiss on my cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked, feeling my cheeks heating up. He shrugged, smiling cheekily. "Just because."

"How long have you two been together?" Dani smiled at the two of us, looking up from her menu. "About a month and a half now." I grinned, and Louis took my hand in his underneath of the table.

"You two are adorable." Danielle giggled, seeing Louis grabbing my hand. Liam looked up at us, chuckling. "I'll admit, I was a bit iffy about them dating at first."

"Why's that?" Dani asked, looking at Liam with a look of shock.

"I was just being the protective big brother I am." Liam laughed, looking back over at her. Then, his gaze moved back to me and Louis. "But now I feel stupid for ever trying to keep them two apart from each other. They're happy. And that's what matters most to me."

I sniffled playfully, acting like I was going to cry. "Liam, that was s'beautiful."

Liam laughed, playfully rolling his eyes and looking back down at his menu.

Several minutes later, Sally came back, taking our drink orders and meal orders. She walked back off, promising that the food would be ready soon.

Danielle pulled her phone out of her pocket, smiling. "I wanna take a picture of you two."

Louis smiled over at me, before leaning over and placing his lips on my cheek. I giggled slightly, looking over at Dani who was aiming her phone camera at us.

For the next picture, Louis put his hand under my chin, tilting my face over so I was looking at him. He leaned forward again, placing his lips on mine gently and softly. I heard another camera click, but didn't break the kiss between Louis and I.

"PDA, guys. PDA." Liam murmured. I heard a thump, and heard Liam again, "Ouch!"

"Let them be!" Dani laughed. Louis smiled into the kiss, slowly pulling away but keeping his face inches from mine.

"You're perfect." He whispered quietly, a smile playing on his lips. I couldn't help but blush. There was nothing I loved more than when Louis said random, sweet things to me.

"Gross." Liam mumbled quietly, resulting in Danielle thumping him again. "Ow! Babe!" Liam whimpered, rubbing his arm.

"Hush!" Danielle whispered, resting her head on Liam's shoulder.

Once we finally finished our dinner and Dani and I got to know each other more, we decided to head out, throwing some money on the table for the waitress.

"It was so nice to finally meet you." Danielle smiled, taking me off guard when she pulled me into a hug. I nodded, hugging her back. "Ditto."

"Here; here's my number so we can keep in touch. Maybe we could go shopping sometime soon." Danielle smiled, pulling out her phone as I pulled out mine. We quickly exchanged numbers, and then it was time to say farewell.

"I'll see you soon." Liam murmured into Danielle's hair as they hugged each other. "I love you."

"I love you, too." I heard Dani whisper back, before they pulled apart. She leaned up on her tiptoes, kissing Liam before pulling away completely.

We headed back up to the café, and Dani got in her car, pulling away from the small shop.

The three of us got into my car, making our way back home as well.

Another perfect ending to a perfect day.
