Forever the one (A Larry Stylinson Fanfic) L.S PART 1

Chapter 18 Louis

My palms are sweating as I stand at the front door, me and Evan waving goodbye to Luke as he drives off to his conference. I feel jittery with excitement which isn't good considering I've just waved Luke off but it's the thought that Harry is coming around later, and I can't help it. I need to step into gear get Evan off to school, get to work and message Harry. I can't stand here in my daydreams all day.

We set off, Evan in his school uniform he looks so cute. I can't believe how big he's getting. I eye him through the rear-view mirror.

"Hey kiddo, so I thought Harry could come round tonight and we could show him some of your videos from your matches. See if he has any tips what you think? I'm watching as his expression goes from neutral to positively beaming. 

"Really daddy, that would be ace, I can't wait for him to see me in action" I can't help the laugh that escapes my mouth. He sure has a way with his words. I honestly don't know where he gets it from. Well, I do but let's not go there.

I drop him off at school and race to work. The sooner I get there, the sooner the day can be over, and I get to go home. Bloody hell it's like I'm at high school all over again, I'd like to say I feel guilty, but I don't, what is it they say out of sight, out of mind and I know it's wrong but it's hardly Luke that's in my mind at the minute. I'm sure it's just a phase though. It's just the whole last week having some sort of mental effect on me. It will pass.

Elle is already there by the time I get in, and again has a cup of tea waiting for me. She really is an angel. I give her a kiss on the check as I take it from her and head to the back to hand my jacket up. I walk back out and lean against the counter whilst Elle is sitting on the stool. We have 10 minutes before I turn the sign around to open. 

I take a sip of me Tea "how you doing Elle. Did you have a good weekend" she shuffles round on her stool to face me "you know how it is round here Lou same old same old, met up with some friends for drinks, walked the dogs, like I said same old shit aint it" I chuckle at her. Thats the thing around here, it's not exactly bustling with nightlife there's only so much you can do.

"What about you, you been and brought that ring yet" she winks and inside I cringe.

"what's that face for, I thought you be excited to go ring shopping, and share Ya news"

well yeah, I would have been, that was until my life has taken a full 360 this past week and now, I don't even know where the hell I'm going and what's happening. 

"Well let's just say Elle, that's the least of my concerns at the moment" she scrunches her face at me as if to say wtf

"Yeah, so actually my weekend has consisted of my baby daddy arriving back in town and surprising us and now he wants to know Evan, who by the way doesn't even know who his dad is, so yep drama drama again" I say giving sarcastic jazz hands. 

" Oh, my fucking god, are you serious" she exclaims. "Like, this is the love of your life right, that walked out, what was his name again, erm erm,......shes clicking her fingers as Shes trying to remember.

"Harry" I supply

"that's it Harry. How you feel about this Lou? what you going to do? omg does Luke know?"

That's the thing with Elle she just doesn't ask one question Shes like a freight train going at 100mph. I fill her in on the ins and outs, how Harry has turned up, about our run ins and arguments, about Luke being a twat, about it all really. I miss out how I still feel extremely attracted to him though. Its only me that gets to know what an arse I am being having these thoughts when im with someone else.

"Elle take my word, stay single its less fucking drama" she playfully punches my arm.

"Like there's many options round here anyway u ass, but oh, Lou guess what? I can't believe I forgot to tell Ya. You know I said I met up with some friends for drinks, well we popped up into jynx and you would never believe who was there."
