Sparks Fly

chapter 8 - lost bird

Louis P.O.V

I ran my hand though my hair, Beau's stylist was here to get her ready for the private premiere of Harry's video. I was so nervous to be honest... Harry didn't leave until 3 a.m and we went through a whole bottle of wine. but I remember the whole night. It was so nice... amazing actually. We had such deep conversations about everything but he's so much fun. He asked me out and yes I am incredibly excited but I still have to tell Beau and make sure she's okay with it... and I'm seeing him today and I dont know, all i know is... I have butterfly's in my stomach. I walked into her room and smiled seeing how cute she looked, she had her hair curled a cute little outfit. After thanking the stylist she left and I drove Beau and I to the country club where the event was being held. As we drove I glanced at Beau through the rear view mirror "so Beau.. can daddy talk to you about something" she looked at me and smiled "yeah daddy?" I swallowed "well you know Harry has been very sweet to us and he is very fond of you". She smiled "mm hm and he is also very fond of you... I think he likes you" she said smiling a little smug, I looked at her then the road "what?" she giggled "and you like him too". I laughed a little "well... yes Beau... I do like him" I said out loud for the first time, she squealed "yes I knew it" I smiled "Harry asked me to go on a date" she clapped "go daddy you must" I laughed "Oh I must?" she nodded "yes". I smiled as I pulled into a parking spot, that went a lot better than I could have hoped for. As we walked up we saw some people out front with cameras. I'm not unfamiliar with paparazzi, at some of the major charity events I host or go to we have them there for news paper and the news and articles.  I blocked my eyes a little from the flashes "Beau! sweetie over here!" some of the paps yelled, she waved and smiled before we went inside and we were lead to the room. We walked in and it was very nice, its was full of people and of the course the kids from the video. There was a big screen set up and seats everywhere and a table in the back with snacks. Harry told me last night that the only reason he's having an event for this music video is because it went platinum. His first song did too and they had a small event for that as well but that was different since it was the first song of his new music. I walked in and Beau waved to the other kids "daddy can I go over there" I smiled "of course" she ran up to them. I walked don the rows of chairs, there were a lot of people here. I looked over by the screens an saw Harry talking to a couple men in suits, I smiled softly and felt my stomach get a little tight. "Hey mate" I heard an Irish accent say as an arm went around my shoulder "Niall hey" I said hugging him "good news about Beau, I got her an audition for a new show called 'Mulberry Christmas, it's really cute I will let you read the script later but her audition is in a week so she needs to memorize it starting tomorrow. also She has a photo shoot tomorrow for Liberty London" I nodded "oh wow, back on your game aren't you" he chuckled "well I realized this music video was her first gig in awhile and after this officially premieres she is gonna be more known". I nodded "pus she will be brought up more since her dad is dating Harry Styles" I felt my cheeks flush "w-what.. pft why would you-" he looked at me with a 'really' face and I smiled looking at my shoes. "hey there you are" I heard a deep familiar voice say and my head instantly shot up "Harry hi" he chuckled "Niall mate you look blonde as ever" he snorted "and you look more like a poodle each day curls" they laughed and hugged and Harry and I smiled at each other. "you know I think i lost something... I'm just gonna go. look for it" Niall said and walked away shoving me towards harry as he did. "Hi" I said again "hi" he said smiling, he bit his lip before stepping forward and hugging me. I smiled and squeezed back gently before we both pulled away "where's Beau?" Harry asked looking around, I pointed by where the kids were "playing with her friends" he smiled "I am always very proud when I can help create friendships" I chuckled "it's a wonderful thing to be able to create". He lead me to the front row, he said he made sure Beau and I were up front next to him. "Harry!" Beau said and ran over hugging him "hey there she is" he said picking her up and hugging her "did you some how grow taller over night" he joked bouncing her a little as if to weigh her, She giggled "maybe but I don't see myself getting too tall... since my dads short" I pouted my lip out "hey give me a break I'm tall".

"I wanted to thank everyone who has made my music and this video possible, thank you to the wonderful group of kids who ere apart of this I know we all had loads of fun. as well as thank you all for coming to watch it. Here is my music video for 'Kiwi'", everyone clapped and I smiled as he sat back next to me. The lights shut off and everyone fell silent as the video started. It started with the words "no children or animals were harmed during the making of this music video" and a few people laughed. It jumped right into the video and Beau walked into the school looking very fierce, A few of the kids said "woo Beau!" and she giggled. I smiled proudly as I watched, I glanced around and saw everyone was already smiling and enjoying it. People nodding their heads to the beat. As the video continued I laughed and couldn't help but smile fondly when He came in with puppies and Beau was on the ground covered in food. When it finished everyone clapped and yelled, I laughed and Harry got up and bowed thanking everyone. He said his last bit of thank you's and said everyone was free to talk and such. 

Harry walked up to us, the room had his song on repeat in the background. "So what did you think?" he asked smiling, I couldn't help let out a small laugh "it was great, very cute and very funny" He smiled "thank you, Beau and all the kids really made it work" I smiled, he is so humble. "So for our date I made us reservations at this restaurant called "goût de l'amour" I smiled "oh fancy, what does that mean?" he just smiled "oh just about food.. so can I treat you and Beau to dinner tonight?" I smiled "let me treat you and her instead, it's your night.. besides I' perfectly able to pay" I said with a chuckle. He smiled "Louis I don't offer to pay because I don't think you're capable of paying. I offer because I like treating you both.. okay? so will you let me treat you both to dinner" I smiled fondly, why do I keep doing that? "fine that sounds great" He nodded "great, well we can leave when ever you want, People are already starting to leave" I nodded "okay well let me just find Beau and-" "Daddy guess what!" "right on cue" I said chuckling and turning around to look at her "what's up?" she smiled "Niall said I have an audition for a new show AND i'm going to be in magazine!" I chuckled "yeah he told are you excited?" she smiled "yes! Harry did you hear that?" he smiled "I did, very exciting love". She smiled and i held her hand "come on Harry is taking us to dinner" she smiled "ooh yay, I love when we do that" she started pulling me and I smiled softly and glanced at Harry who had a sweet smile on his face and he looked at me.

I shut Beau's door quietly, she practically fell asleep when her head hit the pillow. I walked downstairs and smiled "she was so tired" Harry chuckled "I'm not surprised, remember busy girl" I giggled "yes extremely". "I had fun again thank you for dinner, also congratulations" "thank you.. don't forget about our date tomorrow okay?" I chuckled "how could I?". He grinned as I walked him to the door he came back and hung out with Beau and I for about an hour "goodnight Louis" he said sweetly "goodnight Harry" I watched as he walked to his car and drove away, I shut the door slowly and smiled leaning on it. I really do like him. shit. I forgot what all this dating and liking people was like, I feel like a lost bird just flying into everything.

I got comfy on my bed and looked at my phone and pulled up google and tried to remember the french restaurant he said he was taking me to. I finally found it and typed in the translation "taste of love".
