twenty-eight: the birthday party
"Zayn... What are you doing here?" Louis whispers, completely shocked that it was actually Zayn standing in front of him and not someone else. Louis knew this day would come eventually, he just never thought it would be this soon... Let alone on the twins birthday.
"It's good to see you too, Lou." Zayn says quietly, staring at Louis with wide eyes. Zayn had to admit, he hadn't actually expected Louis to be here... Part of him kind of wished he wasn't. He didn't know what he was going to say to Louis... even though he'd thought about it for the past two weeks. He had come here on a spur decision, refusing to tell anyone where he was going... including Robbie.
"Why are you here?" Louis asks again, growing more nervous with every second that passed. He didn't know what to do, normally he would tell Zayn to f uck off... but it had been two years and Louis couldn't seem to grasp the fact that Zayn had actually found him.
"I came here so we could talk. Are you busy right now?" Zayn asks, feeling nervous as he does so. It had been a long time since Zayn had seen Louis and now that he was standing right in front of him... The feelings were starting to find their way back.
"Yeah... I am... I uh..." Louis doesn't know what to say. He didn't want to invite Zayn in, he didn't want him to see the twins and suddenly decide that he wanted to take them away from Louis... But he didn't want to leave Zayn standing out in the cold March air...
"Oh... Sorry. I uh..." Zayn doesn't know what to say either, deciding in his head that he'd made a mistake coming here. It was more than clear to him... but yet he still came and he knew why.
"You can come in... If you want?" Louis ends up saying, surprising himself and Zayn at the same time. He didn't know why he was inviting him in, just seconds ago he was panicking about Zayn being here...
"I... I shouldn't. I have somewhere I need to be... but can we talk though? A different time? My number is the same, so uh... Call me? And we can meet up? Catch up?" Zayn says, shooting down Louis' offer even though his heart was screaming at him to go inside. He wanted to see the twins... In person. Pictures were only enough for so long, but Zayn didn't want to rush Louis into anything... He wanted to show Louis that he cared, that he'd always cared.
"Uh sure... We can do that... I'll call you tomorrow?" Louis shifts awkwardly, looking at behind him when he heard a loud giggle from the kitchen. He recognized it almost immediately as Ethan's and a soft smile found its way onto Louis' face.
"I'll be waiting..." Zayn says, waving goodbye before he went back to his car. Louis watches after him, the fact that Zayn had actually found him still waiting to sink in.
"Lou? Who was that?" Harry walks into the front room holding a cake covered baby which Louis recognized instantly as Nathan. Louis just smiles, walking over to Harry and grabbing his little boy from him. Nathan was already giggling which just made Louis' smile grow. He loved seeing his boys happy and he always wanted to make sure they were.
"You're such a messy boy, my messy little boy." Louis coos, kissing Nathan's cheek and effectively getting frosting on his lips. Nathan smiled brightly at Louis, placing a frosting covered hand on his cheek. Louis laughed at that, shaking his head before looking towards Harry. Harry looked at Louis expectantly, waiting for Louis to answer his question.
"Do you want to go grab Ethan for me? I think it's time for a bath." Louis said, still ignoring Harry's question from earlier. His mind was still on the fact that Zayn had been here.
He had been so close....

"So... It's nice to know you didn't completely forget about me." Robbie says, rolling his eyes at Zayn as he sits down at the small diner table. Zayn gives him an apologetic look as he takes off his coat.
"Sorry... There was something that I had to do. It was last minute, I'm sorry." Zayn says quietly, hoping that Robbie would just leave it at that.
"It's fine, just thought I'd give you shit for it. It's not everyday you leave sitting by myself in a diner for over an hour."
"It won't happen again."
"Even if it does, I'm sure I'll get over it. Now, do you wanna tell me why you showed up late or are you just going to leave that to my imagination?" Robbie teases, earning a small smile from Zayn. Zayn wasn't going to tell Robbie where he'd been, Robbie didn't really know much about Louis or the twins... and Zayn planned to keep it that way for as long as he could.
"I was just seeing an old friend, don't worry too much about it babe." Zayn says. He wasn't lying to Robbie, he just didn't tell him the full truth.
"Alright, if you say so." Robbie says, shrugging as he leans back in his chair. Zayn continues to smile at Robbie, but his mind was elsewhere. He could still hear the giggles, giggles that belonged to none other than his kids...
He'd been so close.

And there we have it... chapter twenty-eight of Style which is still a little odd to think about. I started this book just a few months ago... but then again I update this story a lot tbh hahahaha.
Anyways, I've started doing QOTC on my books cause it's always fun. I'll warn you now, my questions are often lame along with my answers... So bare with me :)
QOTC: who is your favorite character in this book and why?
AOTC: okay, my personal favorite is a tie between Harry and Zayn. Harry for the reason that he's very down to earth and would do anything for Louis and the twins. Zayn because even though he's a total dick, he still cares. SO yeah. hahaha
Dedication goes to bewwwilliams
My favorite comment gets the dedication :)
