Chapter 29: The Haircut

*1 week later*

Melissa's POV:
"Where's is everyone?" I ask walking downstairs with Alex. "Daisy and Phoebe have a play date, Lottie and Fiz with their friends, Dan at a meeting, and my mum with a friend." Louis says serving himself some tea. "Oh." I say nodding. He smiles at Alex and drinks out of his cup. "Why do they keep leaving us home alone?" I ask. "Fizzy told me the gossip. My mum wants us to get used to being by ourselves in a house." He says. "Well shit." I say putting Alex down in his chair. He nods and I sit on the counter. "I have a game next week." He says. "Really?" I ask surprised. He nods and I clap.

"When did you find out." I ask peeling an orange. "This morning. It's another charity one. I'm pretty excited." He says. "Well good luck babe." I say patting his back. He smiles and I smile. "Can you and Alex come watch me?" He asks. "I don't know. Alex wanna go watch daddy?" I ask looking at Alex. Alex smiles and giggles. I giggle and nod. "I guess we have to go then." I say to Louis. He cheers and I eat a slice of the orange. "I need to get him a matching jersey. That would be so cute. Oh and one for you of course." He says taking out his phone. I chuckle and rub his back.

He sits down on a stool and I eat my orange. "Do you want to go to the salon with me?" I ask. "Why?" He asks. "I'm getting a haircut." I say. "Why?" He asks again. "Because my hair is too long and Alex keeps hanging from it." I say. "But I love your hair." He says. "But I don't." I say. He sighs and I smile. "Fine I'll go with you." He says. I cheer and hop off the counter. "Watch Alex while I change." I say. He nods and sits next to Alex. I run upstairs and change into jeans and a shirt with a jacket. I put light makeup and brush my hair. My hair was so long it almost reached my waist, just by an inch maybe.

I grab the diaper bag and go back downstairs. "Let's go." I say. Louis looks at me and smiles. "You look beautiful." He says standing up. "Thank you." I say blushing. He grabs Alex and I put a jacket and hat on him. "Come on." He says putting an arm around my waist. He leads me outside and to his car. I get in the back with Alex and he puts him in his seat. He then drives to the salon as we sing along to the radio. "Wait babe let me get a picture with your long hair." He says taking out his phone. I sigh and he puts my hair over my shoulders. "Smile." He says. I smile and he takes the picture.

"Got it." He says. I giggle and he takes Alex out with his car seat. We walk in and I go to the front desk. Louis sits in the waiting area as I'm directed to a chair. "My name is Jessica. Nice to meet you." The stylist says shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you too I'm Melissa." I say. "Okay Melissa, have a seat." She says. I sit on the black chair and she starts brushing my hair. "So what are we feeling today?" She asks. "I want to cut my hair." I say. "I'm going to guess and say that you want it here." She says pointing at me shoulders. "Yes." I say nodding.

"Oh I can already tell that would look great on you." She says. I smile and she grabs her stuff. She starts cutting my hair and I use my phone. "Oh wait you're the one that's married to Louis Tomlinson right?" She asks. I smile and nod. "Oh awesome." She says smiling. We have a small chat and I see Louis appear by the entrance. He walks by rocking Alex and looks into the room. I smile and wave. He smiles and watches closely. "You can come in here if you'd like." Jessica says noticing him. Louis smiles and walks over to us. "How short is it going to be?" He asks her. "Don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise." I say.

"Okay." She says smiling at me. Louis pulls up a chair and sits Alex on his lap. "Go away." I say. "I want to see." He says. I pout and he sighs. He gets up and walks back to the waiting area. "That's your baby right?" She asks. "Yeah." I say smiling. "He's the cutest thing ever. What's his name?" She asks. "Alexander." I say. "Oh that's cute." She says. We continue our small chat and then she had to wash my hair. I lay on a chair and she washes it. "Wow that feels good." I say as she massages my scalp. She giggles and I smile. She rinses off the soap then wraps it in a towel. "Alright. Let's go finish it." She says.
