My Prince Charming: A Liam Payne Love Story

Chapter 8: The Date

~Liam’s POV~

“Okay, move it a little to the left,” I directed, “Perfect. Thanks, Zayn,” I smiled at him and took walked over to grab the chairs.

“It’s looking good so far,” Zayn said, looking around the little meadow behind the park. It’s where CJ and I will be having our date.

“Thanks to you,” I laughed and carried the chairs to the table, and put them where they’re supposed to go.

“Psh, well it was your idea,” he told me, grabbing the little lights.

When I finished placing the chairs in their spots, I started to help him with the lights.

“Guys, please come help!” I yell over to Niall, Harry, and Louis who were all playing on the jungle gym.

“No! Too much work,” Louis whined, swinging on the monkey bars. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

“Harry, Niall?” I asked, looking between the two.

“Why don’t you have CJ help?” Harry asked and I looked at him like he was stupid.

“Because she’s not even here, and it’s supposed to be a surprise,” I said slowly like I was trying to explain it to a five year old, and he just stared at me, “Sometimes I worry about you, Haz. You hand out with Louis too much.”

“Hey!” Louis exclaimed, then looked at Harry, “Should I be offended?”

“I’ll help you guys,” Niall said, running over to Zayn and I.

“Thank you, Niall, jeeze,” I replied.

Once we all finished the lights, everyone took a step back to admire the work.

“Whoa, this looks amazing!” Harry remarked , his eyes wide.

“I believe it’s amaZAYN,’” Louis said, crossing his arms and looking at the finished masterpiece.  We all rolled our eyes at him, and shook our heads.

“Well, I think we better get going. I got to get ready,” I declared.

We made our way to the car and piled in. Louis drove me to my house and dropped me off. After saying our goodbyes, I ran inside and jumped into the shower, getting ready for my date.

When I got out and was dried, and started to get dressed. I put on a blue, plaid shirt, because I know CJ likes that one me, and put on a pair of jeans. After my hair dried, I styled it to where it was a

little curly, because CJ likes my hair like that, too. I brushed my teeth, and sprayed on some cologne.

When I was finished and it was close to the time for me to pick CJ up, I put on a pair of black converse. After checking myself in the mirror one last time, I grabbed my phone and wallet, and walked downstairs. I got into my car and started to make my way to Louis’ house.

~~

I sat in Louis’ driveway for a second, and I sighed, deeply.

“Tonight’s the night. I’m going to do it,” I said to myself, “You’ll

be fine, Liam.”

After another second, I got out of the car and walked up to the porch. I sighed again and knocked on the door.

“I got it!” Louis’ voice called.

“No! It’s my date!” came CJ’s beautiful voice, which brought a smile to my face.

I heard some more yelling between the cousins, and some thumping. Probably them racing to the door. I laughed as I shook my head, and the door finally opened, revealing a smiling CJ and a smirking Louis.
