Louis went ahead of me and hugged his mother and sister, then introduced me. 

"Mom, Millie, this is y/n" Louis said brightly. 

"Nice to meet you" said Mrs. Partridge as Millie immediately gave me an enthusiastic hug. 

"It's a shame you can't meet Issie" She began telling me. "She's at university.

Mrs. Partridge smiled and said she needed to finish unpacking and walked away.

Issie's face suddenly turned uncertain and then said, "It's a shame Issie's not here. I'll have to spend all summer third-wheeling you two."  She sighed, then smirked at me mischievously. 

Louis saw her expression and immediately said, "Issie, you KNOW I have a girlfriend right?"  He rolled his eyes. 

My heart immediately sank. So he had a girlfriend....

I focused in on the conversation again, ignoring the sadness unfolding in the pit of my stomach. 

"Well YOU KNOW I don't like her

Before Louis could begin speaking and start an argument, I intervened.

"Hey," I butted in uncertainly. "My sister is about your age, she's fourteen. I'm sure you guys will get along great."

Issie smiled once again and exclaimed, "I can't wait to meet her!"

"Well then,"  Said Louis, nudging my shoulder, "Maybe we should do a movie night tonight..?"

Millie and I happily agreed. 



Time Skip: 3 hours (about 8 pm)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was absolutely elated, a movie night with Louis! I frowned in the mirror as I touched up my bangs. I didn't want to disrespect his relationship...maybe I could just bide my time--no, that's wrong. I shook my head and smoothed my clothes. 

Just then the doorbell rang. I ran down the stairs and opened the door to see the Partridge family standing in front of me. I greeted them and our parents went to sit in the living room and drink tEA (not cofFEE because its england i guess). My sister and Millie immediately hit it off, they had tons in common. The four of us eventually headed upstairs to my room, where my sister and Millie began filming tiktoks as Louis and I climbed onto my bed somewhat awkwardly; he sat to my right. 

"So..what do you want to watch? I have Netflix and Disney+."  I asked him, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach.

He ruffled his hair. It was really hot. But then, everything he did was really hot. 

"Well-" He began but Millie cut him off shouting, 

"Let's watch Enola Holmes!"

"Millie!" he retorted, glaring. 

I raised my eyebrows at the two of them, then began searching it up on Netflix. 

"Stop that!" Louis tried to grab the remote out of my hand but I pulled back. He was smiling, but there was something resembling...panic? in his eyes. In an instant, he lunged to grab the remote from me, which was in my left hand. He missed, locking his fingers around my wrist instead. Suddenly, he lost his balance and all of the sudden he was straddling me his free hand next to my waist supporting him, his face inches from mine. 

We both blushed deeply, and Louis' throat turned red.

"I- uh, I'm sorry, uh, I'm just gonna--" He sputtered as he released my wrist. 

I was absolutely breathless, speechless with surprise. All I could manage was a barely audible,

"It's fine..

My sister (I FORGOt TO NAME HER HAHA so her name is Ava now lol) and Millie, fortunately, didn't see anything because they had airpods in and apparently didn't even care to start the movie. 

Louis and I, on the other hand, were so shaken and embarrassed we didn't even talk about movie options, we just needed the awkwardness to end. I turned on Enola Holmes, hardly paying attention to the movie. As it started, I could have sworn Louis mumbled something but I couldn't hear it over the pounding of my heart in my ears. 

As time passed, the tension eased and Louis and I began talking and bantering with one another casually when I did a double take at the movie, the love interest looked strangely like Louis. Like a lot, it was weird. I looked over at Louis for comparison, his head was in his hands. So it was him in the movie!

He chewed his lip, his throat turned red again. Strange, it must do that when he's nervous (YES FR FR IT DOES JUST WATCH THE INTERVIEWS). He finally dared to glance at me. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked gently.  He sighed, and replied, 

"I didn't want you to want to be my friend just because I'm a little famous.

I grinned at him. "I wanted to be your friend because you're hot not because you're famous!" I said jokingly. I was sure he wouldn't perceive it as flirting since he definitely already knew he was hot, right?

He chuckled. 

"Are you flirting with me? You know I have a girlfriend, right?" 

So he did think I was flirting. Dang. Whatever. 

"Of course not. Your ego is enormous, I was merely stating the obvious."

We both laughed and turned our attention back to the movie.  

After it finished, everyone was tired. Ava and Millie were already asleep on the floor, covered in almost every blanket we owned. 

Louis and I simply lay on the bed, scrolling through our tiktoks for an hour and a half, too exhausted to do much. It had been a long day of travelling and unpacking for everyone. Louis' eyes were fluttering as he fought the urge to fall asleep. I tapped in on the shoulder. 

"Huh, what? Oh, y/n. What is it?"

"I think you need to go home sleepyhead"

He nodded in agreement. The two of us drug ourselves off the bed and made our way to the door, where he gave me a hug half-asleep. His arms lingered around me because he was drowsy, he was so warm and strong.

"Goodnight, y/n." He murmured in my ear. 

"Goodnight, Louis." He released me and smiled a silly smile which I returned. 

As he was walking down the front steps, he turned and said,

"See you later..."

The pale moonlight perfectly illuminated his features. 

"Yeah, see you later...."

I walked back upstairs, I would have been giddy had I not been so tired. I washed my face and did my skincare as best I could in my state (skin care is very important you guys if you don't know what to do just use all cerave im being dead serious) and brushed my teeth before collapsing onto my bed. Who cared if it was not even midnight, I had a long day. As I fell asleep, I could only think of how wonderful my day had been, and how wonderful the rest of the summer could be for me.
