Girl Next Door (Louis Fanfic)

Chapter Five

8 hours later

"Erica! What did you get me for my birthday???" Louis yells bouncing around on the couch. Even though he was sixteen, he was still a kid at heart. Or maybe it was because he ate nine pieces of cake, two cookies, and 37 jolly ranchers.

"Here you go!" I say handing him over a big orange bag. He ripped the tissue paper off and gasped. He pulled out a pigeon.

"KEVIN!!! YOU CAME BACK!!!" he screams hugging it. I lauged. He smiles and mouths something. I tilt my head and he texts me.

My place @ 8. C u there

-Pigeon

Sounds fantabulous

-Carrot

It's a date then?!

-Pigeon

I freeze. No he didn't mean it like that. Why was so on edge? Louis was my friend. Nothing more nothing less...

Louis also received a pair of shoes, an iPod and a car. He was thrilled. I left his house at six to change and eat. We had lasagna. Another one of our crazy Christmas eve traditions. I was doing the dishes when I got a call from Kennedy again.

"What is it this time?" I whisper into the phone.

"Did you ask Louis yet?" Kennedy shrieks, laughing loudly through the phone.

"No but I am." I say fiddling with fingers as I place her on speaker.

"Really!?! When?"

"Tonight, he wants me to come over at eight," I reply feeling my chest swell with nerves.

"What are you guys gonna do?" She giggles, probably fantasizing something weird.

"Probably monopoly. That's his favorite game..."

"But how are you gonna ask him?" She pressed.

"Well first I'm gonna whip his butt at monopoly then-"

"Nooo!!! You gotta let him win! So he's in a good mood when you ask."

"I don't know... Besides I gotta change. Talk to you later." I sigh into the phone.

"Bye!" She yells giggling once again.

I hang up and run upstairs. I slip on a red sweater and some black jeans and throw on my boots. I grab some lip gloss and put that on. I didn't know why but I felt the urge to look stunning when I saw Louis. Was this what you did when you were in love?

At eight I run over to Louis and I'm about to ring the door when someone taps me on the shoulder.

"Ahhh!" I scream. I turn around and see Louis in the same clothes as early. Sweats with a tee shirt and hoodie. My heart kinda drops that he isn't dressed up.

"Hey carrot! Ready to go?"

"Where???" I ask

"Well I have my permit and a new ride soooo...."

"What you wanna take it for a spin?"

"Those were my intentions."

"But I'm not an adult."

"I don't think that driving to the parking lot of Pizza Hut needs adult supervision. In fact, you already act like an adult sometimes." he grins as I feel my cheeks warm up.

"I call shotgun!" I yell.

"Shhhhhh!!!" He whispers slapping his hand over my mouth.

"What?" I ask, my voice muffled.

"My parents can't now were doing this."

"You mean taking your new car out for a spin?" I retort crossing my arms.

"Yes!"

"Just drive slowly then."

We climb into the car. The engine hums to life and we coast down to Pizza Hut. It's closed for the holiday so it's all dark, but the stars in the sky are bright.

"Hey Erica?" Louis asks glancing over at me as we sit on the hood of his car.

"Yeah Louis?"

"I have a question that's kinda weird but you're a girl so you can help me....right?" He asks, his eyes begging for help.

"Um... I guess."

"So if a guy really likes a girl, but he doesn't know if she likes him that way, how can he find out?" he asks, my heartbeat rapidly quickening. Is he talking about me?

"Well, just tell her how you really feel and see what she's says." I stutter, the back of my neck warming up.

"And what would a guy say if he wanted to ask her out?" He asks closing his eyes and looking at the stars. Yep, he's totally talking about me.

"Ummm just say I really like you a lot. And tell her what makes her beautiful, and then ask her." I reply resting my head on my hands.

"Okay we'll here goes nothing," he sighs as he grabs his phone and texts something. I sit there, waiting for my phone to vibrate, but it doesn't.

"Uhhh Louis, you sure it sent?" I ask trying not to sound confused.

"Yeah, she's she's writing back." He grins as my heart drops. His phone vibrates as he rapidly texts back, this happening a few times.

"Yay!!! I got a date with Rachael!!" He yells jumping off his car

"Wait! Who?" I yelp following suit.

"This girl from school who I really like, and it's all thanks to you," he shouts and gives me a hug. I bite my lip to keep from crying.

"You okay?" He asks

"Yeah fine. Let's get home before we miss Santa," I grin sheepishly before looking at my feet so he doesn't see my glossy eyes.

"Haha okay!" he smiles as we drive home
