The Makeup Artist (Norman Reedus)

Date

"Shit, you look amazing" Norman gasped as he came down from his apartment to meet Louise. "Thanks" she smiles and spun around playfully allowing him to see all angles. "So where we off to?" She asks excited.

Holding his arm out for her to link, he lead her down the street, they spoke about Louise telling Mia and Joshua and that Helena would be cool about him dating someone as she has been with someone a few years now. "Now that just leaves James" Louise sighed. "Is he not cool with other guys?" Norman asked, worried. "Who knows?" Louise replied unsure.

Arriving at the small Italian restaurant,  Louise noticed a 50's diner further down the street "oooh i could do with a burger" she said to herself, Norman heard "hell i could too!" Norman grabbed Louise's hand and lead her to the diner, "we may be a bit over dressed" Louise joked considering her outfit and Normans suit trousers, shirt and waistcoat. Norman shrugged playfully like 'what the hell'

The waitress sat them down in the booth but Louise sat next to Norman instead of opposite him, they held hands like school children under the table. They order burgers and french fries and split a milkshake. "So will Mingus like me?" Louise asks, "Mingus is cool, you watch Family Guy and Bob's Burgers you two will hit it off!" Norman smiled in reply, he wasnt a fan as such of those shows but he noticed Louise liked it whenever she was over and had control of the tv. Laying her head on Norman's shoulder she told him "Liam will love you...i feel for him sometimes" she paused and lifted her head "i dont think James actually enjoys having him full time so much, its too much hard work for him" she added, Norman looked at her to continue, he was all ears. "The amount of times James would promise Liam, Disneyland or a fishing trip and let him down last minute and Liam would just be sitting by the curb all day...just waiting" she sighed, Norman shook his head in disbelief. " i think he was too immature to be a dad" Louise added rolling her eyes. "Too immature? Lou you were a teen! That must of been crazy" Norman replied sipping the milkshake. Louise nodded. "That doesnt bother you does it, you will be surprised how many doors have been slammed in my face when people hear im a single mum and the age i became one...thats why i had to relocate for this one, it was an opportunity i couldnt turn down." Louise asked, she needed reassuring sometimes. Norman shook his head "of course not, im glad you took it though" he said sweetly placing a soft kiss on her hand.

Paying the bill they walked back to Norman's, stopping every now and then to kiss, it was nice, it was a clear night, nothing but the stars. Louise felt butterflies at each kiss.

Barely opening the door, Louise was already working on the buttons to Norman's waistcoat, dropping the keys on the floor Norman kissed Louise with passion and fire, pushing her against the walk he shook off the waistcoat and let the shirr roll off his arms, Louise pulled her t shirt off and continued kissing him, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs round him, leading her to the bedroom she got off him, kicked off her heels, and pushed him onto the bed. Standing dead in front of him she undid her bra, revealing her breasts, seductively she sauntered out of her leggings, just standing there in her lacy french knickers. Straddling Norman, Louise laid kissed all over his naked torso. She felt butterflies at every moan he made, stroking her hair as she lowered herself to his crotch, she undid his trousers and pulled them down a bit, moving his boxers down, she lowered herself and slipped his manhood inside her mouth. Norman let out a moan with every move she made. Lifting her head up Norman pulled her up towards him, rolled on top of her and kissed her breasts and lower abdomen. She couldn't help moan his name in pleasure as he entered her.

Waking up before Norman, Louise went to the toilet, and rummaged in her bag for her phone, she had a couple of messages.

Girl! I want EVERY detail i mean it! every detail! Happy humping! :P mia xox

Louise laughed.

She also noticed a few missed calls from James. She rolled her eyes, but knew she needed to do something. Picking up her phone she called James and asked him to meet her today when Liam was at school and James's parents could have Liam, so they could talk things over, mainly about care for Liam and to set some ground rules. Louise spoke quietly as to not wake Norman, she didnt want to tell him just yet incase he found all this too intense with James.

"You awake in there?" Louise called out while making the tea, she could hear Norman groan as he got out of bed. Sipping her tea and sliding Norman's across the counter to him she told him she had a few errands to run today and that she will come back later with some shopping to fill his cupboards and cook them both dinner. "You moving in then?" Norman said, and then clearly internally kicked himself for saying, Louise laughed at his awkwardness.

Giving Norman a kiss she left and made her way to meet James, his plane would of landed by now, he may go on about global warming but he enjoyed a private jet here and there! Meeting in the airport cafe, he pulled her into a hug, Louise patted him on the back to be friendly but she was on edge, they had to sort something out for the sake of Liam.

Checking her phone before putting it on silent she found a message from Norman

Shame you had to leave so soon, i could of given you a hand, cant wait to see you later, miss you :) norm xxx

Louise's heart flipped,  she couldnt hide her smile.

Getting back to James, she sighed "we have to sort something out, something that is fair to us both. Why dont you move here, he can go school here and you can fly out for work and ill sort something out with work when you do" James look delighted when she said this, "what...you mean...us two?" He asked with a grin, "no! As in you rent somewhere, Liam can live at both our places and i dont know, it would just be easier?" She said shutting him down.

James looked out the window slightly frustrated. Eventually he nodded and said "ill talk to the school and sort out a property for me." He let out a big sigh. He made his excused and left, he didnt even say bye to Louise, he just got up and went. Louise gathered her things and left too.

Arriving home, showering, tidying up  and grabbing some more clothes to take to Norman's, Mia ran in on her break and said she had a date tonight and could Louise not be around for, "urgh! You got it! Im staying out too" Louise said giving Mia a high five, Mia shot back out the door and back to work.

Packing her bag for an extra night stay she heard a knock on the door. "You left your keys girl?" She called out expecting Mia had forgotten her keys , she was gobsmacked to find Liam on the other side looking upset.

"Dad said i had to stay here" he said quietly through tears.
