notice me [lilo]

∴ part seven

after they ate the delicious food liam had brought home, they both went to sleep.

in the middle of the night, liam felt an arm wrapping around his body. his eyes fluttered open and saw louis clinching to him like a koala bear.

he smiled fondly and kissed his hair, wrapping his arms around him, too.

***

the next morning, louis was freaking out.

"but li, what if he doesn't like me after the date?" Louis freaked out, hitting his head a couple of times with his clenched fist. "if he does not like me after this, then Liam I'll be forever alone!" he cried out.

"louis, listen to me," liam grabbed his head by both of his hands. "he's in love with you, okay? he's not not gonna not like you after this date, okay? he truly love you, lou. every time i call him, he always talks about you. even when about food, he always finds a way to avert the conversation to you. it gets annoying, to be honest," liam laughed.

"why hasn't he told me?" louis wondered loudly. "why now?"

"you were with harry, and he didn't want to fuck up the relationship between the two of you." liam smiled. he kissed louis' cheeks and said,"you'll be okay and he'll love you even if it's a one-sided love."

louis smiled. "okay. now, go make me breakfast."

liam raised his eyebrows. "oh, what am i now? your slave?"

louis smiled devilishly. "yes."

liam rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless. "yes sir." he turned his back and left to the kitchen; making bacon and egg while louis watched tv.

***

it's now seven o'clock and liam is freaking out more than louis is.

he's going to do this.

he's going to dress up in a suit and tie, and join louis in the dinner he planned. and then he'll confess his love for him.

his plan is: when he drops louis off, he'll park his car away from the restaurant and then he'll go to the restaurant and sit down in front of louis.

he already planned it in his head. and he just hopes to god that louis follows the script.

"liam, why are you in a suit and tie?"

"huh, me?" liam looked at him. "did i not tell you that it's my cousin's best friends cousin's brother's wedding?" he rushed out.

what the fuck did i just say

"um, you never told me, but okay." louis gave him a weird look and went back to putting on his clothes. he already has his black, tight jeans on and he's just about to put on his light purple shirt along with his hot leather jacket. he's wearing his black and white vans.

"lookin' good." liam complimented.

"you think so?" louis said shyly. "don't you think it's a little casual for a date?"

"oh, not at all!" liam gushed. "you look adorable."

"i'm aiming for hot, but adorable counts, too." louis said with a grin.

liam winked at him.

***

liam and louis were now riding in liam's car, on their way to the restaurant. stitches by shawn mendes was softly playing.

"i love this song."

"me too!" liam replied a little too excitedly.

he was so nervous.

after about five minutes, they reached their destination.

louis huffed out a nervous breath, and opened the door. "oh, um, what's the reservations name under?"

"louis tomlinson." liam smiled, knowing it'll make louis feel special and happy.

louis grinned. before he got out again, he leaned toward liam and gave him a quick kiss to the cheek. "thank you so much," louis nuzzles his nose against his cheek. "i love you." he got out of the car.

liam was tense. he and louis have never touched or kissed on the cheek (louis considered it as cheating). his cheek was on fire and he doesn't know whether or not it was because he was blushing or because of the fact that louis just kissed him.

he watched louis take off his jacket and put it on his chair. it was a (obviously) two-chaired table.

and that was his cue to park.

he parked his car in a place where he was sure louis couldn't see if he turned his head in every direction (he doesn't know why he wants to hide his car, really).

he took out his keys and after he locked his car, he shook his hands and jumped up and down.

i can do this, liam thought. it's easy. i'll just go in there, sit down and talk to him about my feelings towards him. liam sighed. easier said than done.

he unlocked his car and grabbed the handle of his car's door and just as he was about to open it, louis' face came to his brain.

the way he laughs, talks and just how he's always so happy and bubbly and just so full of energy. the way his eyes shined when he told him about the date and how a friend of his likes him. he can't do that to louis. he can't ruin him.

i won't tuin him, liam shook his head. i can't do that to him. he'll hate me forever.

he wasn't just concerned about louis hating him, you see, he was just concerned about the fact that whenever louis thinks of him, he'll think of the way how he hurt him. how he lied to him.

liam shook his head, no. no. no.

he locked his car, and took a deep breath and started walking to the restaurant.
