Loved You First (on hold**)

Chapter 2 - A night to remember

After going to a thousand shops Nanna and me finally zeroed in on a dress. It was red, had to be, with a v-neckline. And it was short, showing off a large part of my legs. A sleek black belt, the look complete with black stilettos. I still had no clue what Louis was going to wear, it was quoting him “suppose to be a surprise.”

On the way back home from school Louis suddenly spoke- “I…don’t laugh….was…. I’m serious….thinking totryforxfactor!”

“Huh!?”

Toooooooo try for X Factor”

“What? Where did that come from?”

“I want to give it a try”

I was just staring at him, shocked out of my wits. He walked on unaware that I had stopped. Realizing he turned gesturing me to move. “Are you completely insane?” I frowned.

“If you’re forgetting I do sing…”

“You’re making it sound way easier than it actually is!!”

“This isn’t about the singing is it?” he asked raising his left eyebrow.

“You’ll be gone” I said puckering my lower lip.

“It’s a matter of months!”

“You think you’ll be eliminated that easily? Its going to be a good seven to eight months” I whined.

“Thanks for the overconfidence…but I…. ” he looked at me unable to find words to say.

“but it’s your dream and you should follow it….just miss me okay” I completed his sentence.

“Of course I will stupid!!” he said squeezing me.

“Your mom?”

“She’s more excited than me!”

“Am I the last one to know?”

“There’s only mum, you and nanna.”

“What if you become a celebrity? “

“I know you’ll keep me grounded.”

“Only if we stay in touch irrespective of your touring.”

“You can be my personal assistant”

“PA, of all the things you’ll make me your PA?” I shouted hitting him playfully.

“Fine, dietician?” he joked.

“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear it!!” I laughed along.

“So what are you wearing tomorrow night?”

“It’s supposed to be a surprise” I said imitating him as I waved him goodbye.

“Tomorrow night then” he said winking at me.

“Louis is here” Nanna called from below. “Five minutes” I shouted back. I braided my side locks pinning them in the middle leaving the hair left to fall loosely behind my back. Then taking a fleeting look at my reflection hurried downstairs.

“Seriously mum I’m 18 you have to stop following me everywhere!” Louis was saying.

“I’m sorry son but I’m not here for you I’m here for my princess….aah! There she is.” She squealed. Louis whose back was towards me turned- “Gosh Aanya how much time you take to…. “he just stood there with a dropped jaw… “it’s getting late” he said turning his attention to the watch. He looked very handsome in a black shirt and jeans paired up with a black blazer sans a tie. First the heels, now him I just prayed I didn’t fall. After a lot of you look so good, your blazers so fine, your hair…nanna and aunty getting all mushy we left
