The Wedding Date - Larry Stylinson

Chapter 2 - welcome to Doncaster

Punctual as Harry always is, he's at Louis' right in time to pick him up and drive them to Doncaster.

Louis already waits on the pavement in front of his house. Harry parks the car and gets out of it.

He smirks when he sees the smaller man's face. Yes, he owns a Porsche.

''That is your fookin' car?!'', he exclaims. This man must be rich! No wonder by the price the service costs.

Harry sniggers, the reaction is too funny. He's very proud to be able to own a vehicle like this.

''Yes, that is my car. And now c'mon and get in there. Ah, give me your suitcase I'll put it in the boot.''

With that Louis gets in the vehicle and Harry puts the suitcase in the car. He then sits in the driver's seat.

''So, let's go to Doncaster. I have to say I'm a bit curious what it will be like'', Harry says.

Louis just looks slightly confused what the curly haired man means.

''I mean the town. I've never been there.''

''Ah, I understand'', Louis replies.

Harry starts the engine and pulls out of the lot. They drive, until they reach the highway, in silence.

Neither of them is sure what they could talk about. But Harry breaks the silence.

''Could you put on the GPS or do you know where to drive?''

Louis shakes his head and types the directions into the car's GPS.

''So, last time you said we had to rehearse our story how we met and the personal stuff one more time'', Louis starts after another minute or so.

''Yeah you're right. Tell me about your family first'', Harry decides.

Louis starts explaining his whole family situation.

''And then there are the twins Phoebe and Daisy. They're nine and are definitely going to annoy you with many questions all the time.'' He quietly chuckles to himself.

Harry groans and earns a smirk from the the feathery haired man.

''Twins? How am I supposed to know which girl is which?'' He's frustrated now but they proceed to revise the story how they met for the family and the other guests.

After 3.5 hours of driving, chatting and listening to music the men finally arrive at the house of Louis' mum and his soon to be stepdad Dan.

The gentleman Harry is, he gets out of his Porsche, walks around and opens the door for Louis.

The smaller man thanks him and points to the house.

''Ok, so my mum texted me that she's away doing some errands with Dan and the twins. We're left with Fizzy and Lottie which is good, I guess'', Louis explains.

Harry can feel the relief, facing Louis' mother right now would be so stressful. He knows it's his job and he should be used to meeting people's parents but he is nervous every time.

They get their suitcases and bags and walk along the short path to the door. Louis rings the bell and only a couple of seconds later footsteps are coming nearer.

Lottie opens the door and smiles bright when she sees her brother. She wraps her arms around him and squeezes him.

''I'm so happy that you're here again. It's been to long, Lou.''

''I know. I missed you guys so much. Come 'ere Fizz.''

''Lou, finally!'', she exclaims and hugs her brother, too.

After they separate Louis turns to Harry who coughs in that very moment to get the attention.

''Yes, Haz'', Harry is surprised by the nickname. ''This is Harry, my boyfriend and this is Lottie and Fizzy.''

The girls smile at him.

''It's so cool to meet you. We're so happy for Lou and you seem to be perfect'', Lottie greets him.

After that, Fizzy leads them into the house. Harry curiously looks at everything. The baby photos of Louis on the wall in the hallway are definitely his favourites.

''This is our home'', Fizzy says when she and Lottie finished the house tour for their brother's new boyfriend.

''I really like it. It's cool and homely'', Harry responds. Louis smiles at him. Harry is perfect for this job. The girls aren't slightly suspicious.

''Alright girls, Harry and I will go to my room and unpack'', Louis says and claps his hands.

''Yeah go but be back in 15 minutes because mum, Dan and the twins will be back by then. So don't take too long!'', Lottie sniggers. For that she earns a punch from her brother against her shoulder.

''What?'', she asks innocently and smirks. By that, Harry does the same and grabs Louis at his wrist and pulls the man upstairs.

They enter the room and the first thing Louis does is jumping on his bed face forward. He groans into the pillow. Harry chuckles and lays beside him.

''Do you know what we're gonna do today apart from meeting your family?'', he asks.

Louis turns to him and shrugs.

''Guess my mum cooks dinner and wants to know everything about you and our relationship and after that she'll talk about the wedding.''

The curly haired man nods and then proceeds with unpacking his suitcase.

''Can I put them into the closet?''

''Sure, but please don't move the clothes that are already in there.''

Louis stays a little while in bed but then joins his pretending boyfriend. After they brought their stuff to the bathroom which is connected to the room they're staying – Harry thinks it's very cool – the couple goes downstairs to greet and meet Jay, Dan, Phoebe and Daisy.

''Oh hi. You're perfectly in time but they haven't arrived yet'', Fizzy tells them.

''But Louis, you could help us with setting the table for dinner already. Don't worry Harry it won't take long.'' With that the girls pull their brother into the kitchen.

''We have to say, Lou. You made the best catch ever. He's so gorgeous'', Lottie quietly approves him.

''And he's hot'', Fizzy giggles.

Louis rolls his eyes. ''As if I haven't noticed that yet, you genius.''

''He is totally approved'', Lottie says again.

''I thank you for that but he's mine! Remember he is mine!'', Louis makes clear. Maybe he said it a bit to loud because when they come back with the plates and stuff, Harry stands up from the sofa and helps to set the table.

''I am yours?'', he wants to know and grins.

'' You heard everything, don't ya?''

''No, not all but the last sentence.''

''Oh, then it's good. And thank you for playing along so well'', Louis whispers.

That's a thing Harry really likes about Louis. He's kind and funny and isn't shy around new people. He might likes that little human being after only several hours

''It's alright. That's my job but thank you, too. You're sisters are so nice and funny like you.'' Harry smiles at him which Louis returns.

''Okay lovebirds, get ready, in five minutes you'll be bombarded by many questions'', Lottie exclaims.

Harry nervously looks to Louis who looks as nervous as himself. That can get funny! Hopefully it ends positive.
