I had just left the Loft. Now, there was a bouquet of red roses and a note on the table that hadn't been there before.
I was nervous. It was the first actual date that I had ever been on and I wanted to make it super special for Harry. Niall had given me the perfect idea for a first date and I couldnt wait to put his plan into action.

It was 7:57 when I pulled up in front of the apartment complex to pick up Harry.
I'm here, Styles. xx -Tommo
Harry came out a minute later, dressed in kaki pants and a green sweater that intensified his eyes, and slid into the car.
"Hey, I got your flowers." He grinned, as I started the ignition.
"Good, did you like them?"
"Yup, red roses. Classy man, you are." He teased. I stuck out my tounge to prove my immaturity and unclassiness. "And you ruined it." I laughed and ruffled his hair. "So, where are we going anyway?"
"It's a suprise." I told him matter-of-factly. He groaned and leaned
back in his seat.
We drove into the heart of the city and Harry sighed contentedly, gazing up though the sunroof.
"I will never get sick of this city."
I glanced up at the huge office buildings towering over us and nodded. "Me neither."
We pulled into an under ground parking structure and parked. I turned to Harry and grinned mischievously. He looked scared as I handed him a blindfold.
"Put it on." I commanded, "And make sure you can't see."
"Lou-" He started warily.
"Do it." I cut him off firmly. He gave in and tied the material around his eyes.
I led him down the street to the right building and then stopped and waited. Erica, looking somewhat proud, flounced over.
"When you called and asked if I could do this for you, I never thought I could pull it off." She hissed in my ear so that Harry couldn't hear, "I guess you're lucky that I'm so god damn amazing."
"Louis?" Harry called, not knowing where I was. I took his hand and rubbed circles on his knuckles with my thumb.
"Thank you." I breathed to Erica and she smiled.
"There's my dad, let's go." She breathed back. I nodded and led Harry after her.
We went up the elevator for quite a while. Harry pressed his fire-kisses onto the back of my neck, blissfully unaware that we weren't alone. Erica stiffled giggles while her father looked slightly uncomfortable. When we got to our floor we stepped out and I put Harry's hands on my hips as Erica's dad led us through the maze of an office.
Reaching the door I had been waiting for, my heart started to beat quickly.
"Thank you." I mouthed to Erica and her father, who both smiled and nodded.
Harry and I stepped though the door, and I took his blindfold off. His eyes opened and he took in his surroundings. Then he looked at me with wide eyes.
"Are we having our first date on top of the Empire State Building?" He asked, voice incredoulous. I nodded and he launched himself at me, throwing his arms around my neck.
"You're the best person in the entire world." He whispered against my neck.
We say down at the small table that Erica had set up that was full of foods from Handsome Coffee.
"Well, Niall wanted me to do a mountaintop picnic." I said and Harry rolled his eyes, smiling fondly. "But this is the closest thing that New York has to a mountain."
"You're perfect."
We got to talking and eating, and the date passed by more quickly than I would have liked. At the end, the two of us were looking over city over the top walls of the building.
"So..." I prompted, looking over at him.
"So?" He questioned, looking confused.
"So, Harold Edward Styles, will you be my boyfriend?" I asked, grinning like crazy.
He pulled me in closely, resting his forehead against mine. "Of course." He whispered before placing a sweet kiss on my lips.
"Happy Bithday, Haz."

As we walked down through the building, I couldn't have been happier.
We stepped into the sunlight, I wrapped my arms around Harry, causing him to giggle. At the sound, a man ahead of us stopped and slowly turned around. He had blondish hair and tattoos that looked odd with the suit he sported. He looked roughly 30.
"Harry Styles?" The man asked tentatively. Harry froze.
"Yes?" He answered. The man looked at me, then back to Harry.
"Uhmm," The man started awkwardly, "How are you, Lad?"
"Well, and yourself?"
"Good."
"And Lou and Lux?" He asked carefully.
"Good, good." He said, then got a eureka-like face. "Speaking of Lux, her babysitter for tonight fell though. How would you like to watch her for a few hours?" He pleaded.
Harry looked suprised. "What? I mean...sure." He agreed, casting me a sideways glance.
"Good, good." The man repeated. "What is your number? I'll call you with details soon." Harry told the man his number, looking very awkward. "Okay, we will be in contact."
"How long will we watch her for?" Harry wondered.
"From about 5 until around 10, if that's okay."
"Yea, that's fine."
"See you then."
"Goodbye."
Harry turned to me. "Wanna help me take care of a 5 month old?"
