"Are you tired?" I asked Danielle as we walked out the car that was picking us up from the award show. She was leaning on me with her head on my shoulder and I am almost positive her eyes are closed and still walking.
"Mmhmm." Was all she said. "Wait." She stopped walking and lifted her head. She bent down and took her heels of then placed them in her hand. "Okay." She said once she was standing up straight again. She rested her head back on my shoulder as we continued to walk.
"Liam, what are you doing?" she asked when I stopped us from walking and scooped her up, carrying her.
"Can't we just be that cute couple that does cute, romantic stuff like this?" I joked to her and she snuggled her face in the curve of my neck.
"We are that couple." She said then kissed my cheek and placed her head back on my shoulder.
"You do realize, that we have the house to ourselves tonight, right?" I whispered in her ear as we came closer to the car.
"Yeah, we do don't we?" she responded and I could tell she was smirking.
"Yes, so you better make yourself un-tired missy." I said and opened the car door with one hand and held up Dani with the other.
"Can we go get some food, I'm starving." Danielle said once both of us were in the car and the driver, whose name I think is Jerry, started to drive us towards the house.
"That sounds like a good idea." I reached over and placed my hand on her knee like I usually when we are in the car.
"Can you please drive us to the nearest IHOP?" I leaned forward and asked Jerry. He nodded and made a u-turn.
"Why IHOP?" Dani asked raising an eyebrow at me.
"I want pancakes." I shrugged smirking at her.
Jerry parked the car out in front of the restaurant. I thanked him and gave him a tip, although he refused to take it since management paid him. Right as I was about to close the door to the car, I quickly handed him the money then closed the door. I grabbed Danielle's hand and ran into the doors of the building.
"Liam, don't you think we are a bit over dressed?" Dani whispered to me as we got a fee weird stares. But it is almost midnight so there is only three or four groups of people eating.
"Yeah I do, but that's not stopping me from my late night pancakes." I kissed her nose and followed the hostess as she showed us to our seats.
"Your waiter should be here soon to take your orders." she handed us a menu smiling. "And can I have a picture I am a big fan!" she gushed and I was surprised she held her excitement in for so long.
"Sure love." I said standing up and she gave me a questing look.
"I meant Danielle." she said with a total straight face.
"WHAT!?" Me and Dani said simultaneously in pure shock.
"Yeah, I mean look at her!" she said motioning to Dani. "She is gorgeous! Who wouldn't want a picture with her?" she gushed.
"How are you a fan of me? I am not even famous!" Dani was smiling so wide at this girl. But I wish the girl wanted a picture with me.
"You are best friends with Perrie Edwards. I am a fan of Little Mix, so that is how I know you."
"From Perrie?" Danielle was is in such shock it was kind of cute.
"Yeah. I have to get back to work so," the girl trailed off.
"Oh, um, yeah of course." Danielle said and the girl handed me her phone and stood beside her.
"Okay smile." I told them. "1...2...3." I said and a small clicking sound came from the phone and the picture was captured. "Here you go." I handed her the phone back and she thanked us then walked back to her work station. Me and Danielle sat back down and started to look through the menus.
"It's official, my girlfriend is more famous than me." I joked and made her laugh.
"I am just as surprised as you are."
"I don't even think she knew who I was." I found what I wanted and closed the menu placing it at the edge of the table.
"Her loss." Dani said doing the same with her menu.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I am stuffed, I can't walk anymore." Danielle said was leaned against me as we walked. She had her shoes in her hand again and looked more tired than before. We decided to walk home from the restaurant since we were only a few blocks from the apartment.
"Come here than." She jumped into my arms bridal style and I carried her the last block or two to the house. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hide her face into my chest.
"Goodnight Liam." She whispered and drifted off to sleep with me still carrying her.
"Goodnight baby." I bent down and softly kissed the top of her head.
We made it to the house and I walked up the few steps to the door. I reached into my pocket very carefully not to wake her up. I finally got it and unlocked the door. I walked into our bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. "I am going to go take a quick shower." I whispered to her when she suddenly woke up when she left my arms. She nodded her head and closed her eyes again.

Once I was out of the shower I turned the bathroom light off and walked back into the room. Danielle had moved and had the night stand light one. She was out of her dress and in one of my old hoodies that came down below her knees. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun and clinging to my pillow. I grabbed the pillow from her but she reached out to grab it again so I quickly replaced the pillow's spot with myself.
"Liam?" she asked lifting her head a bit.
"Yeah it's me honey, go back to bed." I told her while wrapping my arms around her. She snuggled her head into my chest and sighed.
"Night Liam. I love you."
"I Love you too Danielle. Night."
