Heartache On The Big Screen (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter Six

"Really? What did you do?" she asked and pulled the cup from her mouth.

"I would bring you in my room and lay you down on your belly, right here," I pointed to my upper chest, "you drooled in my neck and sometimes kicked and punched me, but you would sleep the whole night. You were probably almost two when I got you to sleep in your own room."

"I think I remember that," she nods.

"Oh yeah?" I asked amused. She obviously doesn't since she was so young, but I wouldn't say a thing. She nods and sits up crawling to me.

"Lay down daddy." I follow her instructions and lay down. She crawls onto me and lays down, exactly how I just described to her. I placed my hand on her back and rubbed,

"you okay now baby?"

"Yeah, tired daddy," she yawns.

"Okay, goodnight Liv. Love you," I kiss her head.

"All the stars daddy," she promises in my neck.

"Nervous?" Niall asks. Olivia is in the living room, coloring and I am at the door getting ready to leave.

"I might be," I shrug and stuff my phone into my back pocket.

"Where are you meeting him?"

"His house," I say.

"His house?"

"He's cooking," I explain.

"That's different. Usually you just eat out," Niall points out.

"I like this. It shows he's putting in more effort then bringing me to a restaurant. Liv, I'm leaving!" I call. I hear her get up and come running in.

"Bye daddy! Have fun! Tell Lou I said hi!" she cheers. I give her a hug and kiss before she runs back into the living room. I hear her cough and sigh, maybe I should stay.

"Go. I'll tell you if it gets worse. Have fun Harry," Niall pats my back and pushes me out the door. I chuckle and pull out my phone to tell Louis I'm on my way. He sends a thumbs up emoji once I'm in my car and I use Google maps to get to his house. It's on a hill and behind gates so it's private. The gate buzzes open and I pull into the driveway. Okay. No big deal. I got this. It's just a date. I climb out and lock the door before going to the front door and ringing the door bell. I should have knocked. What if the bell doesn't work? Then I would be awkwardly standing here, but if I knock I'll sound impatient.

"Hi!" Louis smiles as he opens the door.

"Doorbell works," I say. He looks at me confused and laughs,

"it does."

"I meant hi," I smile and run a hand through my hair. He nods and steps aside,

"come in. I just finished cooking so it's ready when you are."

"Great I'm starved," I smiled honestly. I haven't aten all day because of nerves.

"I hope it's good, I've never cooked it before," he explains. I follow him into the kitchen; glancing down to his bum. His jeans hug him perfectly. "Do you like red or white wine?" I snapped my gaze up to meet his as he turned back to look at me.

"Uhm, red please," I cough hoping he didn't catch me staring. Appreciating. He smirks and turns to reach into the cupboard for the wine and glasses.

"Hows Liv?" he asks.

"She's good. I think she's getting sick. She woke up last night around three crying about a bad dream and slept till noon today. She was coughing before I left," I explain and thank him as he hands me a glass. He pulls out two plates and I watch him get the meal on them.
