Louis' P.O.V.

Today, I was going to meet Eleanor. It was the first date after I was in studio and I had to ask her, whether she would like to be my girl for the new music video. We would go to the cinema. After, I planned a picnic in the park. I hoped, she liked picnics. I only knew her since 2 months and I kept things very slow, so she had no chance to run away, because I was moving to fast. It was 7pm when I arrived at her apartment. "Hey El. You're ready? You look stunning!", "Hey Lou. Yup I'm ready and thank you. But you don't look bad, either.", she said with her most adorable smile. "Then let's go.", I replied, smiling too. I opened the door of the car for her, just like a gentleman. "What film are we going to watch?", "Don't know. We'll choose spontaneous." She just accepted the answer and we sat there in silence by we arrived at the parking. Finally, we decided to watch "Pitch Perfect". I already saw the teaser in TV and I thought it would be kind of fun. I was right. The film was just hilarious. "I hope you didn't eat too much popcorn.", "Aw why? I think I'm quite replete.", she grinned cheeky. I just raised an eyebrow and told her, that I had a surprise for her. Since I knew that she loved surprises, I knew she would ask me all time, what kind of surprise it was. "Okay now close your eyes because we're almost there!" She did as I said this. Just to be sure, I held my hands right in front of her eyes. I carefully brought her to the blanket, where I spread the food for the picnic. "Okay now sit down. But be careful!", "Okay. Louis you're scaring me!", "I'm sorry. But. Superman is here! You don't need to be afraid. I'll protect you!", I said in my best imitation voice, making her laugh. "Can I open my eyes now?", "Just... Now. Open them.", I said and she did. Her mouth went slightly open. "You like it?" She looked over to me, still not believing it. "Like? You serious? I love it, Lou! It's perfect. Thank you so much.", "It's just what you deserve.", I said. I could tell, that she was blushing, but I did so, too. We ate our food and talked a bit about her career and her study. I never really listened to her, because I thought about how I would ask her. "Well. And now I have holiday and I still don't know, whether I fly away or I go to my family.", she said. Now is the perfect moment to ask her, Louis! "Well. I have an idea what you could do next Friday.", "Next Friday? What do you mean?" I took a last deep breath and began to explain. "You know, that we're making a new music video for our new song. Well. Simon told us about his plans and he wanted, that we, that means the lads and me, ask a girl out to be 'our girl' in the video. And. I really would love to have you by my side.", I said, looking her in the eyes. That was the most perfect moment in my life. Because she agreed.

Harry's P.O.V.

I called Jolina yesterday because I really missed her and wanted to see her again. We decided to play volleyball in the park. It was already 2.30 pm when I left my flat in the center of London. I only needed a few seconds to the park and so, I didn't have to hurry. As I stepped in the park I already saw Jolina playing with the ball. "Hello beautiful girl.", "Hello, handsome man.", she giggled as I took her in a hug. "You're ready for a painful defeat?", "Me and painful defeat? I think you're talking about yourself!", "Never. If there's someone who'll lose, then it's you!", she defended herself. I raised an eyebrow and began to tickle her. "Aw Harry! S-Sto-Stop i-it!", she said, gasping for air. Of course, I didn't stop. But after 5 minutes we both laid on the floor still laughing. "You're stupid, Harry.", she whispered, looking me in the eyes. "And you're cute." I showed my best grin while she was blushing. "I have a question.", I began. "Okay. Tell me." I looked away for a couple of seconds and then looked back. Finally, I looked her right in the eyes and took her hand. "Well. We're making a new music video. And. Simon told us to ask a girl we really like to be our girl in this video. And. Well. I. I kinda thought. If you don't have any problem. Maybe.-", "Harry. Tell me.", "Maybe you could be my girl in this video? I mean. I really do like you. Since the first moment I met you. And I just think that things are going right between us." I told her like everything I ever felt for her. I just watched her face. She kinda had a blank expression. "Harry. I... I really like you, too. I did, since I knew you. Even before. Before we met in person I mean. And. I would really like... No. I would love to be your girl in this video!", she replied with a huge smile, making me smile, too. Now we just sat there in silence for a few minutes. "Well. Let's have a game?", I suggested, breaking the silence. She nodded her head, smiling, and took the ball. This afternoon was pretty much fun.
