Fix you with Love: (A Louis Tomlinson AU Story) *In Slight Editing with current updates*

Chapter Sixteen

Nellie's P.O.V:

"Lou, I told you not to put the-" I was too late because now we have a fire in the kitchen."-towel...on the stove.." He gave me his doe eyes and I glared back. "Go get the fire extinguisher...AGAIN!" I yelled at him. This is the third time this has happened while we were making dinner; we were making maccaroni and cheese...from the box.

"I told you I am not a good cook!" he yelled from the pantry and came back with the extinguisher and aimed it at the now third towel that has been caught on fire within the last half hour. He flew the foam at the towel and then used a tong to grab the towel and throw it in the trash.

"It doesnt take any cooking skills to know NOT to put a towel on a oven fire on the stove. That is common sense." I looked at him from over my shoulder as I put the cheese and milk into the pot to stir it with the pasta. "Didn't your mother teach you anything about kitchen safety when you were 5?" As I turned back to the stove, the kitchen door swung open and inwalked our mothers; right on cue.

"Actually, I tried, and you need to keep your eyes on him at all times." his mother spoke and I turned to look at her with my eyebrows furrowed. She gave me a knowing look and continued, "Because he just stole a spoon full from the pot." As she said this I turned back around and caught Louis red handed, or actually yellow handed. He had his hand in the pot of Mac and Cheese and a mouth covered in the yellow cheese. "See, that is why I never had him in the kitchen, such a sneaky little boy." she said and took a napkin and wiped his mouth and hands.

"Thanks mumma!" he smiled at her and then looked at me and his smile turned into a smirk. "I have been doing that all night, babe. Ever notice that half that carton is gone?" and I looked at the milk and indeed it was half empty, it was brand new when I got it out of the fridge.

"Well guess we are eating out then, since he contaminated the food with his icky germs." I said and took the rest of the food in a container and labeled it "Louis' Only, Dont eat unless you want cooties" "Babe, please remind me never to ask you to cook with me again. Now lets go get food." I grabbed his clean hands and dragged in outside after I grabbed my keys and satchel. Yes. It's a satchel, NOT a dumb purse.

I opened his door for him and he gave me the strangest look but got in anyway. I walked around the car and got in the drivers side and started the car after buckling myself in. I looked at Lou and he didnt have his seatbelt on but was turning the radio stations non stop and was sitting in a criss-cross-applesauce way.

"Lou, if you dont put your seat belt on and sit right I will call your mother out here and have you go back inside." I said and he did exactly what I said while looking at me with pleading eyes not to call his mother. "I swear you are like a 5 year old. But its okay, I am too!" and with that I pulled out of the driveway and drove down to the nearest food place.

During the drive he sat in his seat but looked at my ocassionally, while he messed with his hands, twirling them around and through his hair. He eventually set his right hand on my thigh, expanding his hand and running it up and down. I didnt notice until now that my leg was shaking, and his hand was relaxing me. By the time I pulled up to Panda; yes Panda Express, I had his hand in my left and we got out and walked to the front door but the person I saw behind the counter made me want to run away and never look back.

"Nellie? Is..Is that really you?" his smooth and low toned voice boomed across the restaraunt. His green eyes were wide and his eyebrows high on his forehead in shock. I havent seen him in...well lets just say a long time.

"H-Harry, y-yup its me. Good 'ol Nellie here." I stuttered. God dammit, curse my horrible speach. I held even tighter onto Lou's larger hand, eventually taking my other arm and holding onto his arm for a little support. I looked up to Louis and he was looking at me with a knowledgeable expression, he knew who Harry was. I had told him everything these past few months, he knew Harry was my Ex and exactly how he became my Ex. "I didnt know you worked here.." I said slowly as we approached the counter to where Harry was.

"I started last month..and who are you?" Harry said then looked to Louis with his questioning eyes. My hand squeezed Louis' and I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Louis Tomlinson, Nell's Boyfriend. And you are?" Lou replied with his knowing smirk and his hand extended out toawards Harry for a friendly shake, but the way he spoke his last question told Harry he knewexactly who he was.

"I'm Harry, Harry Styles. A Panda Express worker." Harry replied, because we all knew his status with me... Well this has become officially awkward.

"Well, we um..we just came here to use the bathroom, so if you would excuse us.." I said and pulled Louis down the hallway near the bathrooms. His eyes never met mine, his head glued towards the counter where Harry was standing, dealing with a customer. "Lou, Lou please." he never turned his head so I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the uni-sex restroom and locked the door.

"What?" he said with annoyance.

"Lou, what is wrong? Why were you acting strange?" I said as I held his hands in mine. His eyes trailed to look at our fingers interlocked and he sighed heavily.

"It's just..the way he looked at you. So surprised and happy to see you. I just..I couldnt help but hint at the fact that I know exactly who he is to you, and what he has done to you." he released and looked at me with sad eyes. "I also didnt know how he looked.." he admitted quietly.

I grabbed his face in my hands and tip-toed up and connected our lips, kissing him with all my might. I pulled away after a while and said, "Babe, please. You are mine, and I am your; remember that. he is the past and always will be. I am over him and the past, but I'm not and never will be over you." his arms were around my waist still as he spoke, "That is the most romantic thing you or anyone has ever said to me; and we are in a bathroom for crying out loud." That made me laugh hard before I grabbed his hand and walked out.

"Thanks..um I guess. Bye Harry." I said to him and waved while walking towards the door, but his voice stopped me.

"Hey, Nell, um would you mind if we could have a chat soon? There's a few things I'd like to tell you." he spokeand his eyes shone with such happines. "A lot of stuff as happened and, I'd like to get you up to speed." I just looked at Harry, then to Lou who gave me the "Go-ahead" look.

"Sure Harry, um...Redfern's at 10 tomorrow morning?" I said, talking about the coffee shop him and our old friend's used to hang out at all the damn time. His face brightened and he shook his head to agree. "Okay I'll see you tomorrow." I said and walked out the door but turned around and asked a question that popped into my head. "Can Lou come? He's only here for a few days and well..I'd like to spend as much time with him as possible." as soon as I said it I felt a tight squeeze on my hand.

"Yeah! Tag him along, Lacie will be there as well.." he said and I stiffened at the last part. Lacie? My ex-best-friend-who-he-cheated-on-me-with, Lacie? I just nodded my head and walked out. Lou and I got into the car and I leaned back and sighed. I can't believe they are still together. I mean, I am happy for them, but wow.
