Continuous, loud knocking wakes me up the next day. I groan loudly then press a pillow to my ears, as an attempt to block out the noise but with no luck whatsoever. I huff then throw the pillow off my head. I get up from my warm bed and march my way to the front door, looking through the peephole to see one of my mates standing there as he still bangs on the door. I roll my eyes but open the door, causing him to stop knocking.

"Hey, mate." He grins towards me, patting my shoulder. "Came to check on you."

"You don't have to check on me, Louis, I'm fine." I assure him. "If I needed you, I'd call."

"Kelly wouldn't stop pestering me unless I came over here." He replies, shrugging. "Plus, I was curious as to how you were doing so I got up and here I am." He walks past me and plops down on the couch. I shake my head at the thought of stubborn Kelly bugging the piss out of Louis as I shut the door.

"You can block Kelly's number." I inform him as I sit on the couch as well. "I don't want her bothering my friends. I'll deal with her later."

"Shit, did you guys break up?" He asks. Oh, I forgot to tell Louis, really all of my friends, that Kelly and I broke up. It just slipped my mind.

"We did, actually." I nod. "She cheated on me with one of her friends."

"Oh, fuck. Sorry mate." He says. "I always thought she was a bitch. I didn't think she'd do something like that though."

"Me either."

"How are you doing with it?" He inquires, concern in his blue eyes.

"I'm not good with it. It still hurts, a lot, but I'm doing better than I thought I would." I explain. "I told her that I needed time to think it through but I'm not sure that I want to get back into a relationship with her. She's lost my trust and respect."

"You still love her though." He states the obvious.

"Yeah, that's the complicated part." I sigh. "Plus, there's this girl and-"

"Whoa whoa whoa," He interrupts. "There's already another girl?"

"Well, yeah." I say. "I know it seems weird for me to be romantic with a girl barely a month after my eight-year relationship break up but there's just something about this one. She's...amazing, to describe her in one word."

"I've definitely got to meet this one." He replies. "How was the first date with her? Had to go better than your rollerskating fiasco with Kelly."

"Hey, don't blame all that on me." I point an accusing finger at him. "We haven't been on a date, officially."

"What?" He questions in disbelief. "You're already saying this girl is amazing and shit but you haven't even taken her out on a date yet?"

"I'm going to." I tell him. "I just need to think of a really great plan for a date. Something special and exciting."

"Make her favorite food and have a romantic evening here at home." He suggests. "Get her here, show her your cooking skills. That'll impress her. Plus, it's affordable and easy."

"Unless her favorite food is eggs with a side of black coffee than I can't cook her anything." I remind him of my horrible cooking skills.

"Even better. Cook her breakfast and spend the entire day together." He replies. "Sometimes, something simple is the best thing."

"I'll think it over, mate. Thanks." I say. "I'll be right back." I get up from the couch and head to my bedroom, throwing on a t-shirt and grabbing my phone then heading to the bathroom to throw my hair into a bun. I walk back out to where Louis is and take my seat again, checking my phone once I'm sat down.

Nicole 9:03 A.M.
Natalia and I are bringing you breakfast so you better be up :) (it's a thank you for babysitting her) be there sooooooon

I smile at the text then glance to Lou, who's messing with his phone.

"Looks like you'll get to meet her." I tell him, causing him to snap his head up, looking at me.

"She's coming over here?" He asks as reassurance.

"She is." I nod. "She said she's bringing me breakfast."

"Cool, mate." He smiles. "She sounds cool."

"She's great." I smile at the thought of Nicole then immediately get excited that she's coming over here.

Soon, there's a knock at the door and I'm quick to my feet when I hear it. I walk over to the door and open it, revealing Nicole holding Natalia in her arms with a sack of food held in her hand along with the usual diaper bag on her shoulder. I welcome her into my home, kissing both Nicole and Natalia on the cheek before closing the front door.

"Oh, I didn't know you had company." Nicole says as she looks from Louis to me.

"Louis is one of my mates. I was talking about you and he wanted to meet you so I just let him stay." I explain to her, shrugging my shoulders a bit.

"You were talking about me?" She inquires, a small smirk growing on her face. "Good or bad?"

"Nothing but good, love." I reply honestly. "I told him how amazing you are."

"I'm not amazing." She says, her cheeks turning pink. "Let's eat." She immediately changes subject, placing the bag of food down on my coffee table. "I didn't know what you liked so I got a few different things so, Louis, if you're hungry then there's something in there for you, too."

"Oh, thanks." Louis smiles towards her.

"Thanks for bring breakfast, Nic." I say to her, sending her my usual polite smile.

"No problem."

-

Nicole and Natalia spend, pretty much, all day with me. Louis leaves after eating but he sent me a text later on saying that he definitely approves of her, which I chuckled at and just replied with a simple okay.

Now, it's the end of the day. The day is beginning to turn to evening and Nicole has packed all of Natalia's things so they can be on their way home. It saddens me when Nicole leaves but I know that I'll always be able to see her again and that makes me happy.

"Thanks for spending the day with me." I tell both Nicole and Natalia.

"Our pleasure. We really like spending time with you." Nicole replies. "Natalia seemed to really like your friend as well."

"Louis loves kids. He's good with them,  too." I note. "I hope you had a good time."

"I had a great time, thank you." She sends me a beautiful smile and, I swear, it really did take my breath away.

We say our goodbyes and I watch as Nicole drives away, making sure that she made it down the street safely. When I close the front door and head toward my room, I remember something about Nicole.

Harry 6:41 P.M.

Nicole 6:56 P.M.
And I still haven't gotten that date

Harry 6:58 P.M.

Nicole 7:00 P.M.
Possibly ;)
