Your Mistake is My Blessing

Chapter 2

The next two days at the cafe', I don't see Liam or Harry; which I'm thankful about, but on Saturday, I wasn't as lucky. Harry comes in disguised with sunglasses, a Fedora hat and wearing black clothes with Liam into the cafe' and with Harry taking in the interior which Perrie tells me as I am in the office working for a few minutes before we become busy.

"Excuse me but is Louis Tomlinson here?" Harry asked Perrie, once they are in front of her.

"Who is asking for him?" she asked back curiously.

"I'm his ex, he'll know who it is; so, is he here?"

"Yeah, give me a minute please," Perrie said before poking her head into the office. "Lou, your ex is here looking for you," she tells me.

Groaning as I follow her back out to the front, where I find the two people I didn't want to see ever again.

"How may I help you?" I ask them in my best professional voice I can; acting as if I wasn't aware who they are or that I was cheated on by one of them.

"Lou, come on; talk to me, please?" Harry begs; his voice pitiful.

"Are you here to buys something and if not, then please leave as this is a place of buisness?"

Harry's face falls even more; "Lou, please. Liam told me you have a daughter, is she mine, too; where is she?"

"My daughter isn't your concern. Please leave," I firmly say again; keeping my voice and face calm as to not drawn attention to us with the handful of customers that are inside the cafe'.

"Lou, you owe me answers," Harry firmly says.

Rolling my eyes as I scoff at him; "I don't owe you shit as you cheated on me not only once but twice."

The cafe' door opens with Lottie carrying Salem inside but once my sister sees Harry and Liam, she quickly goes to leave without the two men seeing them but Salem squeals loudly; "Papa!"

Instantly smiling at my daughter and sister, who I nod at, places Salem onto her feet so she can run as fast as her little legs will carry her to me. Picking her up to hug her tightly to my chest as I kiss all over her face; earning loud laughter from her.

"Papa, 'top!" she squeals; trying to get away from my kiss attack; which I do stop after one last kiss.

"Did you have fun with auntie Lottie?" I ask her; trying to ignore Liam and Harry's intense stares.

"Yesh! We pretties!" she happily giggles; 'pretties' is when Lottie places kid friendly and aprroperate makeup on Salem's face, does her hair and paints her finger and toenails - Lottie allows Salem to do the same to her.

"That's great, love," I smile; turning my atteinto to my sister to say; "Send me the pictures, please, Lots?"

"Sure, Lou," she promises with a smile. "Do you want me to take her to Niall's?"

"No, it's okay as my shift is almost over," I smile at her; she knows what happened between Harry and me.

"Okay," she agrees coming over to Salem and me; to kiss our cheeks. "Bye LouBear, bye my princess."

"Bye Lottie, thanks for having her last night; love you."

"Bye aun' Wottie!" Salem giggles; as we kiss Lottie's cheeks in farewell.

Lottie leaves the cafe' but after giving Liam and Harry a deadly glare. Salem's eyes land on the two men and I know she's curious as they stare at her in awe.

"Who you?" she asks them; lying her head on my left shoulder.

"Papa knew them a long time ago," I tell her before Harry can tell her he's her other dad.

Harry pouts at me brieftly before he smiles at her softly saying; "I'm Harry, little love, and he's Liam."

"Hi Hawwy, hi Wiam," she cutely greets with a small wave.

"Hello love," Liam says with a fond smile.

"Princess, go ask Perrie nicely for a muffin," I tell her; placing her on her feet where she promptly rushes over to Perrie.

Watching the two of them from the corner of my eye as I tell the two unwelcome men; "If you're not going to buy something, you need to leave."

"Lou please let me be a part of her life?" Harry begs quietly as we watch Salem eat her chocolate-chocolate chip muffin at a table as Perrie helps two new customers.

"This isn't the time or the place as I'm working and there's nothing to discuss. You cheated on me twice in our shared bed and she's my whole world and concern - not your's. Go back to your pop-star life and cheating ways and leave us alone. We've been doing great just the two of us and we don't need the likes of you in our lives screwing it up again."

"Do I need to taek you to court and force my way into her life? She's my daughter, too, and I have every right to know her and spend time with her," Harry growls lowly.

"Would you like me to inform the judge how you fucked two different men in our bed, in our home? Tell the judge how you hit me multiple times because I caught you both times and ruin your reputation and career?" I counter; crossing my arms over my chest.

Liam's face pales at my words as does Harry as he says; "You wouldn't do that, right? I was upset and scared of you leaving me!"

"You were scare and upset? I was pregnant the second time ready and excited to tell you about here until I caught you again and then you hit me as you yelled and cursed at me about being a worthless human being! She's my daughter, who I am raising with nothing but love instead of hateful words and actions!" I'm sobbing by the time I'm done.

Salem notices my tears and she rushes to me and I drop to my knees to hug her tightly to my chest as she asks worridly; "Papa cry?"

Salem buries her face into my chest as she hugs me tightly as I hug her back.

"Harry, we need to leave, now; this is drawing attention to you and I think people are starting to realize who you are," Liam worridly tells Harry; glancing around at the people in the cafe' and a few on the outside who are gazing inside.

"Fine," he agrees reluctently before turning back to me. "I'll see you soon, so we can talk privetly."

I don't reply, so they leave quietly as I stand with Salem in my arms; wiping the tears from my face. Then Niall enters the cafe' from the back where the employees enter; when his eyes land on mine, his bright baby blue eyes widen in surprise.

"What happened?" he gently demands; taking Salem from me when she leans toward him with her arms out.

"Harry and Liam were just here and Harry threatened to take me to court to get access to Salem," I murmur on a hiccup; my eyes filling with fresh tears.

"Oh, Lou," he murmurs sadly; wrapping his free arm around me and drawing me to his side. "Everything will work out fine; even if I have to beat some sense into that man."

Laughing wetly agains his neck; "Thanks, Nialler."

"Anything for you and my goddaughter," he softly returns; tightening his hold on me.

Salem and me leave ten minutes later to stop off at the store to buy some food for when Niall comes over tonight; which he's at mine by 6:30 p.m. once the cafe' is closed.
