Our Dirty Secret -l.t. [Book II]

Chapter 10

Leticia Ray's

I descend down the stairs to see that Louis is already waiting for me by the couch as he plays with Carrot. I smile weakly as his head snapped towards me as soon as I took a step into the room. 

"Hi, gorgeous." Louis quickly complimented as he lets go of cuddling Carrot. He hums. "Carrot is starting to grow now, huh? I'm glad he hadn't forgotten me yet." 

I chuckled softly as I walk towards him. Louis stood up and I was sure to dust his clothes off, just in case Carrot shed on him.  "He is. I'm so glad we have gotten him. For real." I hummed. 

Louis pats my head. "I didn't say a word because you were so happy back then but I have a feeling you might try to pick up wild bunnies again, so I have to say it. Carrot is a domestic rabbit. Niall most probably bought it over a shelter there and lied, for you not to get sad." He said. 

I nodded. "I see... I never really thought domestic rabbits and wild ones are different." 

Louis chuckles softly. "Oh, dear. Usually, it's hard to catch wild rabbits because they're prey animals, baby. We just happen to get lucky since they're still little when we saw them. " He tried to explain it to me. "Anyway, I'm glad that you have something to accompany you here at home and keep you preoccupied while we are apart for the meantime." He said as his hand cups my cheek gently. 

I nodded. "Carrot forces me to get up every morning. Like literally. If I continued to sulk then who would feed Carrot?" I smile sadly. 

Louis smiles back and kisses my forehead. "That's my good girl. Shall we go? I have to take my very responsible girlfriend for a date now." He chuckled. 

"You better do that." I told him as I first make Carrot return to his big cage. I haven't bunny proof my room yet, so I can't leave him wandering around. I'm just glad Louis made his cage huge. "Stay there, cutie. I'll make sure to have something for you when I return home." I coed as I pet its head gently. Maybe I'll buy him a new stuff toy from the amusement park.  

After that, Louis and I stepped out of the house and officially started our date. I was excited and too nervous at the same time that I could literally feel my hands shake. I might palpitate here and there even if I didn't drink any coffee. 

As soon as I get into the car, I try to strap the seat belt over my body. I don't trust myself today. "Ready, baby?" Louis asked smiling. I could just nod and watch him start the engine and drive. I wonder what's in store for me today. I could only assume of more happy and cheesy moments with Louis. It is a date after all.

It took us a half an hour car ride. I would usually end up sleeping, but I was too nervous to do so. I was up the whole time. Louis would strike a random conversation from here and there, but I was too nervous to function. I've been with him since forever. That is why I do not understand why am I so fidgety and anxious right now when I should be enjoying this time with my Louis.

Once we've arrived, I quickly tried to undo my seat belt, but my hands seemed to betray me. I struggle to unbuckle it that eventually, Louis decided to intervene. He placed his big warm hand on top of mine, resulting in me to look up at him. He flashes one of his dashing smiles.

"What are you so worried about, baby?" Louis asked as he undid my seat belt. "You've been very tensed since we left the house. Is something wrong?" He questioned and then felt my forehead with the back of his hand.  "You could tell me." He said smiling. I guess I couldn't really hide anything from Louis. He already knew me so well.

"I'm just a little bit nervous since this is our first date..." I admitted. "...I am a girl too. These things are important to me."

"Awe my baby. You don't have to stress over it, though. I took you to a date for us to have fun." Louis responds as he stroke my hair. "You even dressed cute for me. Hmmm? What about this... Will a kiss make you feel better?" He asked. I couldn't help but crack a small smile as I nod. He also knows the trick of how to lure me in already.
