《Kayden (Larry Stylinson)》Chapter Thirty Seven
Advertisement
Louis's P.O.V –
I was sitting at work in a boring business meeting that I didn't want to be at. I really hated this job, but it paid well and I was good at it, so who was I to complain? As I listened to my boss ramble on about the statistics of the company, I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out to see a text from Harry.
hey babe... i know it's last minute but can i take you out tonight? xx
I smiled at the thought of going on a date with Harry. We don't get many of them because of Kayden but I'm glad we were getting one tonight. Harry has been acting kind of strange lately so it's relieving to see he still wants to do things with me. I quickly typed a reply under the table.
i would love to. what time?
seven?... i already talked to lottie... she said she would babysit.
I laughed at how he knew I would say yes. I quickly sent back a reply that I'd be ready by then and asked if I should wear anything fancy. He responded with saying that I'd look good in anything like he always does.
The rest of the day went smoothly and I quickly found myself getting ready for our date.
"Lou. Come on." Harry whined.
"I don't know what to wear! You haven't helped me at all!" I complained.
"You look fine in what you have on. Can we just go please?" Harry said as he tugged my wrist. This time I let him pull me away.
We said our quick goodbyes to Lottie and Kayden and headed out the door.
"So where are we going?" I asked Harry as he started driving.
"That, my love, is a surprise." He brought my hand up and placed a chaste kiss on my knuckles.
We drove in a comfortable silence for about ten minutes until he pulled over on the side of the road. I looked at him confused and he pulled a blindfold out of the glove compartment. He smiled at me, as if asking permission and I rolled my eyes fondly. He fastened the blindfold around my head and I felt the car start to move again.
A few short minutes later it stopped again. There were a few beeps and then we started to drive a little more. We stopped for a final time about a minute later. I could hear Harry get out of the car and walk around to open my door. It didn't sound like we were outside of a restaurant or anything. It was very quiet. Harry helped me out of the car, making sure that I didn't hurt myself since I couldn't see.

"Harry, where are we?" I whispered as if it was a crime to speak.
"Sh. You'll see in a minute." He responded.
We walked a little further and I felt him lead me up a couple of steps before he opened a door. I stepped inside and heard him close it behind me.
"Okay are you ready?" He asked and I nodded.
He removed the blindfold and it took a couple seconds for my eyes to adjust. There was very dim lighting. We were standing in an empty house that was lit by candles. There were bouquets of roses everywhere. There must have been at least 50 of them. In the middle of what looks to be a living room, there was a table with a white table cloth. On top of the table was a candle lit in the center, with two covered meals, one on each side. I had no idea where we were, but clearly Harry went through a lot of trouble to make this special and romantic. I was speechless.
"Do you like it?" He asked quietly.
"It's beautiful. What is this place?" I asked.
He didn't answer me. He simply grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the table. He pulled out the chair for me and I sat down, thanking him softly. He removed the covers from the meals and sat down across from me. It was delicious. I didn't know when he managed to cook this, but I could tell Harry's cooking from anyone else's. We made some small talk while we ate and laughed about something Kayden did the other day. It was really relaxing and that is one of the things I love about Harry. Every moment I spend with him feels easy.
When we finished eating, Harry put the plates in the sink and sat back down across from me.
"I got you something." He said nervously. He took out a small box and my breath hitched. I think he noticed the look on my face because he quickly spoke. "No. Lou. It's not- I'm not proposing."
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. It isn't that I don't want to marry Harry. I do, eventually, but I don't want to rush this.
Harry slid the box over to me. I picked it up and looked at him, silently asking if I can open it. As usual, he knew what I was thinking and nodded lightly. I opened it and instantly felt the tears fill my eyes when I saw what was inside.

There was a key in the place where a ring would be. The top of the inside of the box had a silk covering over it with 'Move in with me?' stitched into it. I moved my hand that wasn't holding the box to cover my mouth and looked up at Harry. I blinked as a tear escaped my eye.
"You mean... this- this house?" I asked in disbelief, looking around at my surroundings.
"I bought it a couple days ago. Just got the keys today." He explained cautiously. I kept looking around and when I didn't answer him, he got nervous. "You don't have to if you don't want to. I just saw it and thought it would be perfect for us. One day, I'd like to live here with you and Kayden and us be a family here and-"
"Harry!" I interrupted with a chuckle. I put the box down. I stood up and walked around to his side of the table. He stood as well. "Of course I will move in with you." I said looking into his eyes.
His face lit up with the biggest smile I have seen in a while and he wrapped his arms around me, picking me up and kissing me passionately.
"Oh my god! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He exclaimed, as if I just gave him the best present in the world.
"What are you thanking me for!?" I laughed. "You're the one that bought me a house!"
"Bought us a house." He corrected.
"Our family home." I smiled brightly.
He started to show me around the house. It was absolutely beautiful. It was definitely more of a family home than Harry's other house. It had four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The kitchen was really spacious with a large island in the middle. The living room had a large fireplace that I could imagine cuddling in front of. The master bedroom was huge and had a walk in closet that was at least the size of Kayden's room now. It also had a basement which Harry planned on turning into a recording studio so he could do all the work on his album from home. There was also a really large backyard with a deck and a pool. He did an amazing job at picking out this house. I loved it. Standing inside of it, I could really picture having a family with Harry in this house. The thought brought a smile to my face and butterflies to my stomach.
"I still can't believe you bought us a house." I said as we were lying in bed that night. "What would you have done if I said no?"
He chuckled. "Well, I had really hoped you wouldn't. But, if you had, I would have just rented it out until you wanted to."
I smiled at the fact that in just a short week, I was going to be living with Harry. I fell asleep with my head on his chest thinking about how incredible my life is. I have the family I have wanted so bad for Kayden and I.
The next morning, Harry and I decided to tell Kayden. I let Harry tell her since he is the one who bought the house and all.
"Hey angel. Come here for a minute." Harry said to Kayden.
"What Papa?" She asked as she sat on his lap.
"Well, your dad and I were talking." He began. "We think that, as long as you're okay with it, that we could all move into a house."
I watched silently as Kayden's eyes grew. "You mean you would live with us?! All of us together?!" She asked excitedly.
"Yes love." He laughed lightly. "You, me, and daddy would all live there together."
She squealed and wrapped her arms tightly around Harry. "Yes please! I want to! Oh I want to so bad!" She said. When she pulled away we could tell she was crying out of pure happiness. She kissed Harry's cheek. "Thank you Papa!" She said as she scurried away up to her room, rambling about wanting to pack already.
Harry and I laughed and shook our heads.
"Worth it?" I asked humorously, knowing that house couldn't have been cheap.
"Always worth it." He said seriously. "Everything involving the two of you is worth it."
And yeah, I may have fallen for him a little bit more.
