XOXO

Chapter 8

-Layla's POV-
It was four in the morning, four in the freaking morning.
"Louis" i sighed as i rolled over.
"Yes love?" He asked sleepily.
"Mackenzie" i frowned as i heard her cries get louder and louder.
"Alright, stay in bed, I'll get her" he smiled and kissed my forehead.
-Louis' POV-
I walked out of mine and layla's room and into Mackenzie's room next door.
She cried and scream as loud as her little body allowed her too.
"Shh, its alright love, I've got you" i whispered as i rocked her back to sleep.
I saw layla peep her head in the room out of the corner of my eye.
I smiled and kept rocking the baby.
She began to get fussy again.
I held her close to me and sang. I don't know why i sang but it just came.
Layla walked in and leaned against the wall and watched with a smile.
Mackenzie fell asleep in my arms finally. I kissed her forehead and put her back in the crib.
Layla was still smiling as she walked over to me.
"Your such a good dad" she whispered.
I smiled. Deep down i new i wasn't Mackenzie's real dad but i loved her like she was my own and Layla knows that. She spent four months of her life with cole and layla. Three awful months with cole. And now finally, 5 amazing months with layla and i. I haven't been there for Kenzie since the day she was born but i know i can be a better dad to her than Cole ever was.
I wrapped my arms around Layla as she watched her daughter sleep.
"Your daughter looks just like you" i whispered with a smile.
"Our daughter" she corrected me.
"Layla, we both know she's not mine" I frowned.
"Louis, she may not be biologically yours, but in her heart your her dad" Layla explained.
"Your right" I smiled.
"Louis" she said.
"Yes love" I asked as i nuzzled my nose into the crook of her neck.
"Do you want to have one of your own some day?" She asked.
I smiled. I knew exactly where she was going with this. And to be truthful, I loved Layla with all my heart. I would do anything for her. Someday she will be my wife and someday I do want to have kids with her. Im ready when she's ready.
I sat down in the rocking chair and pulled her onto my lap.
"Layla, I love you with all my heart, i truly do, and someday you will be my wife and i want to have a family with you, I do want to. I love you so much" I smiled.
I saw a tear run down her cheek. She was crying.
"Louis" she sniffled.
"Whats wrong love" I asked as i wiped her tears.
"No one has ever said that to me, ever." She cried.
"Thats because no one has ever loved you like i do" I said as i held her close to me.
"I love you" She smiled with tears in her eyes, "and that sounds perfect, because, I want that too"
I leaned in and kissed her soft lips.
"Why don't we get started" i smirked.
She smiled and nodded.
I bit my tongue as i threw her over my shoulder and took her back to our room.
I couldn't control myself anymore. I was so ready for this.
I put her down and shut the door behind us.
I leaned her up against the wall as i kissed her neck.
She tugged at my hair, asking for more.
I quickly threw her bathrobe off.
"Holy fuck" I whispered.
She had planned this.
She smirked and bit her lip.
God damn.
Her red lacy lingerie was just enough to get me to lose every ounce of control in bed entire body.
I licked my lips and threw her on the bed.
I slapped her bum before she had the chance to roll over on her back.
I crawled on top of her and kissed every inch of her neck, down to her chest, her stomach, and took off her lacy panties using my mouth.
She sat up and bit her lip.
I swear if she does that again there will be no foreplay.
She slipped my shorts off and pulled me back into bed.
I began to kiss her lips and leave hickeys down her neck all the way to her stomach.
"Louis" she whined as she bit her lip.
God.fucking.damn.
I smirked and i new exactly what she wanted.
"What is it love" i teased as i kissed the inside of her thighs.
"P-please" she stuttered.
"I don't know what else you want love" i smirked once again as i stood up near the edge of the bed.
"L-Louis" she whispered.
"I know love, i know" I laughed as i stopped teasing her.
I threw her legs over my shoulders and lined myself up with her entrance.
I could hear her heavy breathing as i pushed in.
I heard a moan escape her lips.
"Better save that, i just got started love" I smirked.
I gave her one large stroke as she begged for more.
I bit my lip, trying not smirk, just hearing her like this gets me so messed up.
"L-Louis faster" she whined.
I did as she asked.
She was such a beautiful mess.
I loved the way she moaned my name.
I loved the way she bit her lip, trying to hold in her moans.
"Just let it out princess" i smirked.
And thats exactly what she did.
I knew i wasn't going to last much longer.
"Are you sure you want this love?" I asked just to double check.
She nodded and bit her lip.
I came and pulled out.
I have no clue what happened after that but i woke up laying right next to my beautiful princess.
The sun shone through the blinds and onto Layla's face.
Her bare skin was covered by the white bed sheets. I smiled and kissed her forehead.
She giggled and pulled the covers over her head.
"Layla" i laughed and gently took the sheet off her.
"Lou!" She whined "Its cold!"
"Im sorry love" I smirked.
"No your not" she rolled her eyes.
"You might need some make up on those hickeys lay" I teased.
"What?" She asked as she sat upright and covered herself with the sheet.
"Relax babe, first of all you don't need to hide your body from me, I've already seen everything" I smirked as i bit my lip "and second of all, you don't need to cover them love, the boys aren't your parents"
She laughed and got out of bed.
I watched her bare body walk across the room as she threw on one of my t-shirts.
"What?" She asked as she caught me staring.
"Your beautiful love" I smiled.
"Are you only saying that because you've seen me naked?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Really lay?" I sighed as i pinched the bridge of my nose.
She crawled on top of me and sat at my waist line.
"Im sorry" she said as she bit her lip and pulled at the waist band on my boxers.
I smirked and kissed her forehead.
"Not now love" I laughed.
"But louuu" she pouted.
I swept a piece of hair behind her ear and smiled at her.
"I love you" I said.
"I love you too" she giggled as she crawled off of me.
-Layla's POV-
I smiled as i walked downstairs into the kitchen.
Harry, Niall, and Liam were sitting down eating breakfast already.
"What happened to your neck?" Liam asked.
I just smiled and ignored him.
Louis came stumbling into the kitchen a few minutes after me with a huge smile plastered across his face.
"Whats up with you?" Liam asked.
"Nothing" Louis laughed.
"The fact that you said nothing has me concerned" Niall raised an eyebrow.
"Why can't I come down to the kitchen smiling and happy? Is that a crime?" He rolled his eyes.
"Yes" harry joked.
Louis laughed and lifted me onto the kitchen counter.
He grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"Louis, what the hell" I laughed.
He smiled up at me with the biggest most childish smile i have ever seen.
"What is up with you guys" Niall asked.
Liam bumped Louis out of the way and inspected my neck.
"LOUIS!" He yelled.
My eyes widened in fear.
"Yes liam" Louis smirked.
"Did you guys?" Liam asked.
Louis smiled and nodded.
"Be careful" Liam sighed.
"Of course" Louis agreed.
"Hey Louis, it says here you have an appointment at 12:00 with your dentist" Harry said as he read the note on the fridge.
"CRAP!" Louis exclaimed as he scrambled to get his shoes on.
He grabbed the car keys and was half way out the door before he turned around.
He kissed my forehead and traced his fingers on the inside of my thighs.
"Be good for daddy, princess" he whispered in my ear.
I felt a chill go up my spine as he whispered those words in my ear.
I ran up to our room and took a shower.
I have no idea how long i was in the shower for but when i got out i found Louis waiting for me in our room.
"Louis? Weren't you supposed to be at the dentist?" I asked.
"You've been in the shower for two hours love" He laughed.
"Oh" I said as i bit my lip in embarrassment.
He stood up and placed his hands on my waits.
"You know it really turns me on when you do that" he smirked as he butted his nose with mine.
"Oh really?" I smiled as i wrapped my arms around his neck.
"That towel better not fall love, I don't think i can control myself if it does" he said as he stroked my cheek.
I felt a chill go up my spine once again.
"Do you like when daddy talks to you like this" he whispered in my ear.
God damn, if he keeps talking like this to me, I'm gonna let the towel fall.
He began to kiss my neck once again i wrapped my legs around his waist and let him do what ever he wanted to me.
He tore the towel off and ripped his shirt off. He crawled back on top of me as i wrapped my legs around him.
All of a sudden the door swung open and Niall stood in the doorway.
"Fucking hell Niall!" Louis yelled.
"Emmm, nevermind" Niall's face turned bright red and he shut the door immediately.
I giggled as i lay there naked, in bed, with a pissed off Louis pacing around the room.
"Louis" I whined.
He ignored me.
"Louis!" I yelled.
"What?" He snapped.
I rolled my eyes and wrapped myself in my towel again.
I locked myself in the bathroom and got dressed as Louis pounded on the door.
"Layla!" He pleaded.
"Open the door please, love"
I completely ignored him.
"Layla please! Im sorry!"
-Louis' POV-
I know that snapping at her was wrong, even when i wasn't mad at her in the first place. But she did have her reasons to upset with me. Cole had really messed her up and she still isn't the same. Snapping at her and yelling at her scares her. I would never hurt her but it still scares her. Its not her fault either.
"Layla please love, open the door, I'm sorry i yelled at you" I apologized.
The door swung open and she walked right past me.
Other people might think she's over reacting but i know her, and i know she's not. Its just what Cole has done to her that caused this.
I caught up with her as she walked downstairs. She grabbed her keys and walked out the door.
"Lay! What about Kenzie" I asked.
"Your her dad Lou, you can watch her" She rolled her eyes.
She was right. I shouldn't always have to depend on Lay to watch Kenzie when i should have my fair share also.
I ran after her.
"Layla Payne! Where are you going" I asked.
"Home" she scoffed.
She was going down the road where her parents lived. I let her go. She needed space right now.
I turned around and walked through the front door where Liam was waiting for me.
"Liam, its not what it looks like" I explained.
"What the hell did you do?" He asked.
"Its a long story" I sighed.
"Sit, have a cup of tea, she's not that mad at you" he smiled.
"Im guessing you want to know what happened" I raised an eyebrow.
He nodded and i told him everything. Literally everything.
"Wait so you guys are trying for a baby?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Are you sure Louis?" He questioned me once more.
I sighed.
"Liam I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I love your sister and I have since the X factor days. You of all people would know that. I want to be there for her through everything. I want to have a future with her. That appointment i had to go to earlier wasn't a dentist appointment. It was an appointment with a jeweler for a ring. An engagement ring. I've been trying to set up that appointment since last month. I designed a ring just for her. I should have told you earlier but i did ask your dad for her hand. And i promise you-" he cut me off.
"Louis, stop right there, you don't have to promise me anything. All you have to do is take care of my sister. I trust you Louis, your my band mate, my best friend, and a brother to me. There is no doubt in my mind that Layla will say no" he smiled.
"Thanks liam" I said.
"So when's the ring coming in?" He asked.
"Next week, which reminds me, can you watch Kenzie?" I pleaded.
"Anything lad, anything to make this proposal perfect." Liam laughed.
"And liam, you are the only other person who knows about this besides your dad, can we keep it on the down low" I asked.
He nodded and i could see the happiness in his eyes.
I heard a cry coming from upstairs and sprinted into the room. It was from niall's room.
"Niall!" I yelled.
"She fell" he said in his defense.
"I can see that" i rolled my eyes and picked Mackenzie up from the ground.
"Shhh its alright love, your okay" I said as she cried on my shoulder.
Mackenzie was only one and was still quite tiny. She was adorable and the cutest little girl i had ever seen. She could say a few words like "mum" and "dada" and "lili" and "ball" and "num num". It was adorable.
I carried her downstairs as she wrapped her little arms around my neck.
I went around the kitchen making dinner with her in my arms since she would make such a fuss if i out her down.
Soon the front door swung open and Layla walked in.
"What is this" she laughed.
"Its called dadding" I joked seeing that she was in a better mood.
"Beautiful, just beautiful" she laughed.
"So, did you accept my apology?" I asked.
"Of course i did, I can't stay mad at you Lou" she smiled at me as she took Mackenzie out of my arms and planted a kiss on her forehead.
I leaned in a kissed her lips before she went upstairs.
"Layla" i called her back.
"Yes?" She asked.
"I love you" I reminded her.
She smiled her beautiful smile and said, "I love you too."
-Liam's POV-
I walked into Mackenzie's room and watched as my sister changed her clothes and diaper.
"Hey, Lay" I said.
"Yea?" She asked.
"I just wanted to let you know that your probably the best mom I have ever seen" I laughed.
"Why is that?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Because you have dealt with so much but you don't ever let that get in the way of caring and loving Kenzie. Your strong Layla, your one of the strongest mothers i know" I smiled.
"Aw, thanks Li. One day your going to be a great dad" She smirked.
"Whats the smirk for" i asked.
"No reason" she laughed.
"Well, speaking of Dads, Louis is doing such a great job" I said as i fidgeted with the mobile on Kenzie's crib.
"I know he is Liam" she rolled her eyes.
"Ok listen, I know you guys are trying for a baby lay, and I'm very happy for you. I just want to make sure this is what you both want" I explained.
"Liam, I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life. I love him with all my heart and starting a family with Louis is a one step into a great future with him." She smiled as she did up the last button one Kenzie's onesie.
"Alright lay, Im just looking out for you. I love you a lot and you know that" I hugged my sister and she hugged back.
"I love you too liam, thank you" she whispered.
She took Kenzie and walked back downstairs to join Louis in the kitchen.
I loved my sister and i loved Louis like a brother. Its always been important to me to make sure they make the best out of life and steer clear of bad choices. Its just the big brother in me acting out as it always does.
