Louis POV

I'm just sitting and watching the other men in the Villa now. Everyone is chatting and having alcohol. Right as I considered standing up to get some alcohol myself, a young, fit man is sitting down beside me, smiling and giving me a glass of champagne. "Thanks man!" I say to him. I don't really know how I should talk to him and the others. I mean we are still Revals and are all here to have one man and this ones Harry.

"Soooo, what's your name?" he asks me. "Oh, ehm I'm Louis." Shit Louis why are you so nervous?! It's not even Harry, just some random guy you'll maybe live with in these 4 weeks. "I'm Ethan! Nice to meet you. Even tho I think it's quite sure anyways that I'm going to win. Harry straight up cuddled me at the entrance." He has a devilish grin on his face. "That's great. Even tho I'm sure it was a hug and he hugged every man here, but sure, have your Illusion" And there is my confidence again! You did it Louis. I think to myself. But still I have a bad feeling about this guy.

Suddenly everyone is standing up and clapping. I'm confused until I see Harry entering the Villa. He's wearing the same suit as before and he is still as breath-taking. "Hello everyone. Nice to see you all again." Maybe I'm imagining things but he looks at me the whole time and is even smiling in my direction.

Someone offers him a drink and I still can't look away from him. He's talking to some group now. More likely everyone other than me because all the men croweded Harry real fast. I'm just standing and watching, I don't know how to approach him.

After a while Harry went away with this Ethan guy. I'm pretty sure Harry is doing the private talks now, I'm also sure that Ethan will make a big deal out of it that Harry talked to him first.

One of the Producers is now shouting "CUT!" so we know we aren't beeing filmed now. "Everyone listen to me for a minute please. Harry is now doing the private talks. Please be aware of the privacy everyone gets. You're alone with Harry and nobody else! So please nobody interup this. Also Harry has his own order to talk to you. Don't pressure him to talk to you now. Thank you all! You may now continue to talk and stuff. We'll do an interview with everyone after talking to Harry. You'll just be filmed when we interview you and while you talk to Harry. Thank you." Sarah gave us these orders and surprisingly everyone is a lot calmer now that we aren't getting filmed.

That's when I realised that I still have my phone and nobody even realised it till now. I know for a fact that the other men don't have theirs, so I need to be really carefull, but I also can use this for my advantage and ask Liam for advice. I go to the bathroom and text Liam: "Hey Li! Still have my phone, I don't know how to talk to the others. This one guy who talked to me is rude and is so sure about himself that he'll win. I don't think he will. Harry looked at me this whole time. Anyways, Hazza is doing the private talks now. How and about what should I talk to him? Fast Li! I also need to be really careful I think I'm the only one who still got his phone."

After about 2 Minute I got an answer: "Be careful Lou! Anyways, just ignore this guy, maybe search for one lad you can really talk to. Because of the private talk, just be yourself Lou! You'll do great and Harry is going to like you, don't worry Babe! Love ya, text me updates but be careful!"

I text a quick "Thanks lad" back and exit the bathroom to talk to one of the men that doesn't look like he wants to threaten you if you win.

I quickly found a nice looking lad. He's standing alone at one of the Windows, looking outside. Blond hair and genuienly smile. "Hi! Whats ya name?" I smile at this guy, still hoping he is nice and not a complete asshole. "Hi, my name's Edward, what's yours?" He also smiles at me. "I'm Louis, nice to meet ya. What do ya say about all this? Isn't it crazy? I mean we are searching the love of our lives in a Dating Show, where everyone wants the same guy." He looks at me for a Moment, probably thinking about what to say. "Yeah it's crazy but you know what? Maybe it's meant to be. I mean who doesn't want a crazy love story to tell their kids how you met their dad" We laugh. "Yeah that is in fact true!"

"Hey Louis! May I just steal you away for a minute?" I look to my left and see Harry smiling at me. I just nod, to scared to answer. I mean I'm gonna have a whole private talk with him now. I don't even know what to say, Fuck. We go to sit near the pool. "And Action!" Oh shit, I completely forgot that we are getting filmed. "Sooooo, how do you like it till now, Lou?" Wait what?! Lou?! Since when are we moving so fast. I can't even help the butterflys in my tummy. "It's quite nice, even tho I do have a quite dislike to one of the men." Okay ehm, Louis, you're not quite playing with the rules here, but anyways, doesn't matter, I just don't like Ethan. "Oh, sorry to hear that. I'm not gonna ask for a name because that would be unfair but apart from that. Tell me something about yourself Louis." And we are back with Louis, great, not....

"There is really not much to tell ya really." I chuckle. "But if you really want to know. I was born in Doncaster and then I moved to London because I needed a change and because of my Job. Yeah, I'm 23, I have many siblings and the best mum in the world and there is not much more to say really." I look at Harry again. He smiles at me. "So tell me something about you?" His smile never leaves his face and now he smiles wider, didn't even one of the other men asked about his live and just talked About themselves? And OMG are these dimples?! That's so cute!!!! "So ehm" He starts. "You know the most facts, I'm Harry, I'm 21. I was born in Cheshire but now I live in LA, kind of the same reasons I moved like you. And I hope I'll find my love here. You look very Beautiful by the way, Lou." I look at him shooked, then I blush and smile. Suit yourself Louis, you aren't a teenager anymore. "Thank you Hazza! You too!" Aaand he is blushing too, even cuter! "Hazza?" He askes me. "Yeah, I thought since you call me Lou and it also sounds nice and I....." I trail off. "Cut!" Harry and I both look shooked at the Producers. "We have enough content of you two. Harry we have talked about this and you still have 4 more men to go! So say bye to Louis, you'll have enough time later to talk to him if you let him through."

We look at eachother. "Okay then I guess, we'll talk and see eachother later?" He looks at me hopeful. "Yes, of course!" I reply. "Let's go inside then." Our eyes longer on eachother faces and with sad smiles on both our faces we walk inside. Last Minute before we step in Harry grabs my arm and pulls me out again. "You're the first who asked me about my live, thank you. Lou. I'm just telling you now that you are through. And shit I'm breaking the rules again, sorry. We should just walk inside now, I need to carry on with the talks or the producers will kill me." I couldn't even reply, I just smile and give him a quick hug. After that we both walk with stupid smiles in the Villa. We probably look like we just kissed or something, but I couldn't be bothered less, I'm through and he hugged me, a win.
