[10] The Date

"Thank you for tonight," Louis said as he unbuckled his belt.

"No problem baby," Harry leaned across his seat and smoothly kissed Louis on the lips. "See you tomorrow."

Louis nodded, smiling widely,"Definitely."

He got out of the car with his bag and waved to Harry. Once Harry's car was out of the sight, he happily sighed and opened the gate and made his way to his house.

He opened it (since they never bother locking it) and happily walked in.

His mom was in the kitchen, probably cooking food for herself. He slowly made his way upstairs, not wanting to be asked thousands of questions by his mother.

"Louis?" Fuck.

He went back downstairs and smiled innocently,"Yes, mom?"

She rubbed her hands together,"When'd you come home?"

"Right now."

"Oh!" His mothers eyes widened. "Tell me what happened!" She wiggled her eyebrows and Louis blushed, covering his face with his hands.

Nonetheless, he made his way to the kitchen and answered all her questions happily.

Friday afternoon

He had to skip school today since his mother was sick and had to take care of her. She protested at first but she knew it was no use since Louis has got his stubbornness from her, so she gave up and let Louis skip the day and take care of her.

He put a plate of hot, vegetable soup, water, spoon and her pills on a tray and made his way to her room. He opened the door softly with his foot. When Jay saw her son, she turned off the tv and straightened up herself.

He put the tray on her lap and sat down on the chair opposite to her bed. "You really didn't have to skip today."

"Mom, the times you've skipped work because I was sick is so much more that I ever will," he smiled warmly at her. "Don't worry. I asked Harry to get me all my homework."

"You and Harry doing good?" She took a slurp of the soup he made.

He nodded, grinning,"Very good."

"Have you guys done it yet?"

"No," Louis flushed. "I just— I don't think I'm ready yet."

"Never do something you don't want to do," Louis nodded.

"Of course. I'm gonna go shower, if you needed anything, just call me okay? I'm not going to close the bathroom door." Johanna nodded. Louis kissed her forehead and left the room to shower.

Thirty minutes later, he got out of the bathroom and called out for him mom. When he asked if she needed anything, she said no and that was his cue to leave alone for another couple of hours.

He went into his room and closed his door. He opened his phone and read a message Harry had sent him twenty minutes ago.

I'm gonna pick you up at 5pm. Dressy nicely xx H

Louis flushed. What's his plan?

He looked over the time and it was only 2:30pm. He still has hours left. He closed his phone and put it on charge.

He ruffled through his closet and after throwing several shirts and pants around his room, he chose to wear a v-neck white shirt along with ripped (at the knees), black skinny jeans.

It's too casual for a date— but what is he supposed to wear? A tuxedo?

He looked over the clock and it was already three o'clock. He decided to shower and get cleaned up.
