Our Summer of Direction

Chapter Sixteen

“Why are we going to the office?” Emilea asks for the fortieth time.

“You’ll see.” Harry and I say again.

“HEY LOUIS!!” She says loudly when she sees Lou sitting in the office waiting for us.

“Come on! We need to get going. Lou has called me three times already.” Louis says ushering us out of the office. We pile into the van and Louis starts driving to the arena.

“Careful Lou, you don’t want to drive to slowly; you may get pulled over again.” I tease as he stops at a light.

“You know what Katie? Shut up.” He says back with a smile. We make it to the arena just in time for Louis to go into his hair and clothing time.

“Later losers.” Louis calls with a wink going into the room Lou is ushering him into. Less than 15 minutes later she is ushering Harry and I in and shoving Louis out.

“Hello! My name is Lou.” She says shaking my hand.

“Hello, my name is Katie.” I say returning her smile.

“Trust me, I know. All of the boys have mentioned you. Except for Niall; he hasn’t shut up about a girl named Emilea. Is she the one you were with?” Lou asks stripping all of the clothes off of Harry. He stands there shamelessly and Lou hands him new clothes. He puts them on quickly and she lets him do his own hair while she starts on my makeup.

“Yeah, she is hopelessly in love and so is he; they’re just too stubborn to admit it.” I say while she does eye shadow.

“I like your eyes.” She says after adding eyeliner.

“Thank you.” I say with a smile. Lou pulls one of the feminine outfits she has and hand it to me.

“I am not going to dress you like I do for the boys.” She says smiling. I nod gratefully and go behind the curtain Lou gestures too. I get dressed quickly and Lou fixes the outfit when I come out.

“Heyyy you look HOTT!!” Louis and Harry say when I walk out to where they are waiting. I model the outfit with a smile

“Emilea it is your turn.” I say shoving her into the room.

“Hey Katie!” Perrie says coming into the small hallway with Dani and El. We wait until Emilea comes out and the girls lead us to a room just like the one where Emilea and I had first met the boys.

“Ahh memories.” Emilea says before I can. We sit down and start playing games until someone says it is time for the concert to start. We run out to the stage and see the boys start lining up to go on stage.

“Katie!” Harry yells running up to me.

“You have about 30 seconds to get on stage; what are you doing here?” I ask trying to resist the urge to snog his beautiful face off. He grins and slams me against a wall hooking our mouths together.

“Best pre-show tradition ever.” Harry says kissing me again while Niall practically drags him onstage.

“Well that was adorable.” Danielle says elbowing me with a grin. We hang out backstage swaying to their music, until Perrie drags us to a room with their clothes in it. Lou passes me Harry’s change of clothes and pushes me into the far corner, she gives Emilea Niall’s clothes and she is pushed right next to me, Perrie is given Zayn’s clothes and she goes next to Emilea, Danielle gets Liam’s and gets next to Perrie, finally Eleanor is lined up with Louis’s clothing and is next to Dani. Suddenly all of the boys are in the room trying to be fast. All of them strip off their clothes and we help them get dressed. I barely have time to give Harry a kiss before he is leaving the room. I see Niall and Emilea swapping spit when Harry drags Niall out of the room. The girls and I do that 2 more times before Danielle leads us to the room we had started in.
