Blue-Eyed Baby

Chapter Sixty-Two - The Preparation

At about four p.m., once the girls had left to go ice-skating with the other Liam and Niall. Harry, Louis, and Zayn got everything ready to take with them to the venue where they were holding the girls surprise party. They packed the streamers, party poppers, balloons, banners, and fairy lights into the back of Mark's company car. Mark and Johannah took the items to the venue and talked to the waiters about the food that was going to be served while Zayn drove to the cake shop he had ordered the girls' birthday cake from. Harry and Louis got into Louis' car and headed to a party shop, they rented a disco ball for the evening, telling the delivery people they needed it as soon as possible at the address they had given. They had sent out the invitations weeks ago and had heard back with a 'yes' from every invitation holder. When they arrived at the venue with the disco ball I the van behind them, they remembered the extra balloon arch they had ordered. Another delivery van pulled up next to them and the driver climbed out, Louis looked at the driver with a clear face of confusion before he spoke up, "Can I ask what you're here for?"

"Ahh, we have a delivery for Mr. L. Tomlinson," the driver spoke.

"Uhm, yeah? That's me?"

"We have the balloon arch you ordered for this date?"

"Oh yes, right, uhm, can you take it in for me and stand it at the far end of 'Function Room 1' please?"

"No worries, just sign here to say it's arrived," the delivery man smiled. Louis quickly signed the sheet and directed both the delivery men of the balloons and disco ball into the room that the girls party would take place. After directing the men inside Louis and Harry headed in to. They helped Johannah and Mark to hang the different streamers and banners they had. While harry and Mark were blowing up balloons and placing the other balloons they had bought for the girls the other day, Johannah and Louis set about placing the tables. There was room for twenty tables with a dance floor in the middle and a red carpet leading to the balloon arch. They had white glitter tablecloths placed over each table with six white chairs tucked into each. There was a long white table placed against the left wall stacked with sandwiches and other confectionary. The boys set up and hung all of the fairy lights while Johannah and Mark went out to greet Zayn with the cake. Harry and Louis quickly spoke to the person in control of the music giving him a USB containing the different playlist they wanted to be played before they headed back home with Zayn, Mark, and Johannah.

When they got home at around five p.m. they had an hour before people would start showing up at the venue ready for the party.

They all walked upstairs and into their respective rooms, Zayn, Harry, and Louis going into Louis' childhood bedroom.

Harry walked into the bathroom first with a massive smile spreading across his face he turned the shower on. While he was waiting for it to heat up he brushed his teeth. Once he was in the shower he let the water run down him soaking his body. He ran his hands through his curls detangling them slightly before lathering shampoo from the roots to the ends. He rinsed the shampoo out before applying conditioner to just the ends, hoping to give them a natural shine. Once he'd washed the shampoo and conditioner out fully, he covered his body in a strawberry flavoured body wash he had bought last week. After making sure his body was clean from head to toe, Harry cut the shower out, wrapped a towel around his waist. He left his curls to air dry. He stepped out of the bathroom with the soft white towel still wrapped around his waist, while Louis walked inside. Harry walked over to his bag picking up the pair of tight black boxers and slipping them up his legs. Next, he picked up the pair of skinny, black jeans and pushed his legs through the hole and pulled them onto his legs. He grabbed the deep blue button up shirt and pushed his arms through the sleeves, he buttoned it up to halfway and ran his hand threw his curls.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom Louis went over to the shower and switched it on, allowing it to heat up before he stripped himself down and stepped inside. Louis ran his hands through his hair a couple of times before picking up the shampoo and washing his hair properly, after he rinsed the shampoo out, he washed his body down with a strawberry flavoured body washed. Once he'd spent long enough in the shower, he got out wrapping a towel around himself. He walked across to the sink and applied toothpaste to his toothbrush and brushed his teeth. Louis ran his hand through his hair one last time, patting it to the side and leaving it to air dry. After he finished, he opened the door and walked back into his bedroom as Zayn walked into the bathroom. Louis walked over to his wardrobe picking out a pair of tight black boxers and slipping them up his legs. Next, he picked up the pair of skinny, black jeans and pushed his legs through the hole and pulled them onto his legs. He grabbed a white button up shirt and pushed his arms through the sleeves, he buttoned it up to the top leaving two buttons undone.

While Harry and Louis were in the bedroom getting dressed Zayn was in the bathroom showering. When he had made sure to clean from head to toe, shampooing and conditioning his hair he cut the shower out, wrapped the towel Louis had given him around his waist and brushed his teeth. Once he had finished his teeth he styled his hair in a high quiff before leaving the bathroom. Once he was out of the bathroom he pulled on a pair of grey boxers followed by black, skinny jeans. After he had fastened his jeans he pulled on a deep red button up long-sleeved shirt. He fastened the cuffs and buttoned all of the buttons leaving a few open at the top like Louis.

The three boys sprayed their cologne's, grabbed their wallets, phones and keys before heading downstairs. They saw Johannah and M already in the kitchen waiting. Mark was wearing a white shirt with black suit trousers and Johannah was in a floor-length navy-blue dress. Louis walked over to his mum and hugged her whispering a, "You look absolutely wonderful into her ear."

"As do you sweetheart," she replied.

"Shall we head of then?" Mark spoke up and everyone nodded. Zayn pulled on some dress shoes in black while Harry pulled on his normal black chelsea boots, a new pair, and Louis pulled on his black converse. Johannah slipped her feet into a pair of sliver sparkly heels, and they headed out of the door.
