Three (Pt.2)

When the clock stopped at 4:30 p.m,Louis quickly run towards Zayn's room with his briefcase in his hand.

"Zayn,I have to go now.See ya at home!"He exclaimed without giving his bestfriend's a further explanation as he ignored Zayn's called.

He quickly run down the stairs and went straight into his car before driving into the driveway straight to the kindergarten.He tapped his finger on the steering wheel as he hummed along the song that was playing on the radio.

He parked his car right next to his mother's and ran into the building.

When he first stepped in,the kids was squealing his name in excitement because they just loved Louis playing with them.He greeted them with a hug and a laugh.

His eyes searched around the room to see Ophellia playing with the puzzle alone,again at the corner of the room.When he finally got the kids to calm down,he went to one of the classroom where his mother would probably be.

To his luck,Johannah was just talking to one of the teacher there,Perrie.

"Mum!"He exclaimed,obviously wanted to interupt the two as he stand beside Perrie who was grinning towards him.

"Lou?It's Monday,"Johannah stated unsurely,looking at his son with a brow raised.Louis giggled,adjusting his hair as he sat down on one of the chair.

"I know,just wanted to visit for a while,I missed you,"Louis said as he hugged his mother softly.Johannah laughed and patted Louis' arms before Louis decided to let go.

They talked for almost ten minutes and stopped when the doorbell was rung.Louis jolted from his chair and went straight to the lounge and was hoping that it was Harry who came but to no luck,it was one of the other kids' parents.

Louis walked over to Ophellia,settled down next to her as he picked up one of the puzzle's pieces.Ophellia looked up and gave him a scared look.

"Can I play with you,Ophellia?"He asked gently,giving her a reassurance smile before receiving a quick nod from her.

They both connecting the pieces of the puzzle in silence and Louis was in such an awe.Ophellia really didn't talk that much for a kid and Louis found it a bit worrying.

"How was your day,kid?"He asked,stopped playing the puzzle and just sat there without doing anything but talking.Ophellia shrugged,still trying to fit the pieces in her hand.

"Fine,I guess,"She mumbled without giving Louis a glance.Louis nodded his head,taking out his phone as he continued on waiting for Harry.He decided to stop talking since Ophellia doesn't like talking that much.

Louis wanted to engage Ophellia into a conversation about Harry but he was afraid that the little girl would be uncomfortable with him.

But no harm in trying,right?

"So,Ophellia,"He cleared her throat,looking thoroughly at the girl's face."Do you like your uncle?"He asked,mentally cursing himself for being too straight-forwarded.

Ophellia gave him a long stare that made Louis swallowed nervously.

He fidgeted on his chair but gave a slow sigh of relieve when the girl gave him a smile and a nod.

Louis was surprised to see that the girl smiled at him but he thought that maybe she loved to talk about her uncle.

"Uncle 'Arry is very nice,"Ophellia smiled as she finally stopped playing with the puzzles and giving Louis her full attention before continuing.

"He cooked me very good meal and read me some books before I go to sleep,"She said with a grin as her eyes crinckled.

After a few moments,she frowned."But his jokes is not funny,"She whispered with a pout causing Louis to giggle.

"Don't tell him,"She said in a low voice while looking straight into Louis' eyes which make Louis blurted out a loud laugh."I bet he is,huh,"Louis shook his head,mostly talking to himself.

Time passed quickly and Louis has learnt a lot about the little girl which Louis didn't expected at all since Ophellia has been known as the kid who doesn't like to socialize that much.

He learnt that Harry is Ophellia's only relative and that she loved Spiderman more than anything else.He also knew that Ophellia is the only child and that her father doesn't talk much just like herself.

Without any of them realizing,the only children left was Ophellia.

"Guess your uncle forgot you again,ay?"Louis asked,shaking his head as Ophellia pouted.He quickly searched for Harry's name in his phone and inhaled before tapping on the call button.

But before it came to ring,Harry was already ringing the doorbell.

Louis jolted,shrieking in excitement as he jogged to the door before he realized that he just left Ophellia behind.He chuckled,taking the little girl's hand before bringing her to the door.

He opened the door to see Harry looking down on his phone.

"Hi,Harry!"Louis exclaimed,his voice was too high pitched making him cringe.Harry looked up to see Louis with wide eyes.

"Hi,Louis.I thought you didn't work here?"Harry asked,slowly but his voice filled with curiosity.

Louis giggled and shook his head."I didn't,I just came here to see you,"Louis said with a grin making the curly haired man blushed.

"You did?"He muttered,giving Louis a nervous smile.

Louis nodded furiously,looking at Harry who was hugging Ophellia with a genuine smile.

Ophellia looked up to see Harry with a frown."I don't like your friend,Uncle 'Arry,he is bad to you,"She spoke up making Harry's eyes widened and leaving Louis in full curiosity.

"Which friend,darling?"Harry asked with a small voice,he really hoped that Ophellia wasn't talking about Nick.

Louis looked at Ophellia before looking at Harry straight in the face as what Ophellia said next really made him surprised and filled with questions.

"The one who beat you last night,he scared me,"She whimpered with a teary eyes making Harry cleared his throat as he bent down to pick her up into his arms.

"I promise you,he would not scare you again,baby,"He whispered,kissing Ophellia's forehead before turning around,walking straight into his car leaving a very astounded Louis behind.
