Now Or Never...?

Chapter 4

His muscular arms reached out to catch me from falling. As I looked into his dreamy eyes the world seemed to stop for a second. Everything slowed down and it felt like Louis and I were the only two people on the earth.  Our eyes locked and a indescribable feeling crossed between us.  My skin burned with the magical sparks where his large hands gripped my waist.  He licked his lips as I gazed at his tanned face.  

A car horn honked bringing us both back to reality.  "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry," I gushed.

"Oh it's fine, it happens all the time," he replied with a little smirk. 

"What? People falling in the middle of London?"

"Nah," he replied, the smirk on his face  growing larger, "Pretty girls falling for me."

I rolled my eyes and then narrowed them while thinking to my self, well two can play this game. "Oh. What? Do they leave the moment you start talking?"

A little frown crossed his face as he gave me a pitiful puppy dog eyes, I have to say he was absolutely adorable.  He glances down to the ground and then back up to my face, "You haven't."

My eyes widened to see him in such a vulnerable state, but the words echoed through my head, You haven't. You haven't. Then came Ana's words, "Psshh girl! You have got to get some self confidence! You are super duper scooper pooper gorgeous!" Okay Ana I am putting my trust and insecurities into your hands now.  

I glanced back up at the beautiful British Doncasta boy in front of me. "Not yet Tomlinson," I say as a cute smile spreads across his face.

Since he knew he had won, he changed the subject, "So what's your name?"

"Peyton. Peyton Badura."

He smiled at me and took my hand bringing it to his lips, "It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful girl.  I'm Louis Tomlinson."

I returned a curtsy and giggled.

"So you didn't want to go into the sexy underwear store?" he said as heat raised quickly to my cheeks.  I forced myself to stay calm, a reaction was what he wanted out of me and I wasn't going to let him have it.

"I don't buy my own lingerie," I forced it out of my throat with a slightly seductive tone.

I saw his eyes widen as he coughed.  I burst into a hysterical fit of laughter. "Oh my you should've seen your face," I told him. "No Louis I actually don't buy my own lingerie because my best friend, Ana, has bought me enough of it that I could feed Africa if I sold it all.  And the funny thing is I have never even put it on."

He laughed and his angleic voice carryed across the narrow street and reflecting back towards us.

"Hey," he said, "Pretty girl, would you perhaps like to go get something to eat with me?"

I smiled. "Course, but let me ditch underwear crazy over here."

We both laughed as I headed toward the store entrance, unaware of his muscular frame following my smaller one.  I zoned out to all the surrounding underwear as I strode over to where Ana was standing.  "Hey babes," I said with a smile on my face.  She turned to face me smiling and all of a sudden her face just dropped. "What?" I asked her.

"B-b-boy," was all she was able to stutter.

I spun around and my hands connected with Louis chest.  He smiled at me and spun me around to face a quite surprised Ana.  His hands rested on my hips as he lowered his head down to my shoulder. 

"Hello Ana," he greeted her, "I was wondering if I could possibly take this beautiful young lady to dinner tonight?" he politely asked the girl who was equivalent to my older sister.

She came out of her trance and smiled at the two of us. "Of course you may, but if you break her heart I will  find you and kill you."

"Okay!!" I said attempting to interrupt the strict speech Louis was about to get.

But they both ignored me, "I promise to take very good care of her Ana." Louis said to her with a smile.

She returned the smile and asked to speak me alone.  As soon as Louis had wandered out of site, she engulfed me into a humongous hug. "Can't breathe." I managed to say.  

I saw tears to her eyes as she spoke, "My lil' baby is growing up."

"Ana I'm 18 and just because I'm going on a date doesn't mean I'm never coming back."

"I know but this means that you'll be going to college here in London and I won't get to see you everyday and I won't get to take pictures of my favorite model and-" she was close to breaking.  It was true I would be gone soon and I would miss her so much. Too much.  I also did have thousands pictures to vow that I was her favorite model.  I wasn't the prettiest, by far, but man those makeup artists are goooddd at what they do,

"Ana we still have 2 months together! Chill sweetie!" I tried my best to make it sound happy.

"Okay, whew. Do I have any makeup smears?" I laughed and shook my head. "Peyton!!"

"What!?!"

"Now I have to go back and reschedule my date with Mitch," she said.  

"Oh it's a pity that you have to go back to see him again," she blushed as I smirked and pushed her. "Go," I told her, pushing her towards the door.  She smiled and walked out onto the busy street, heading back the way we came from.

I turned around to find Louis but it appeared he had already found me...and some lingerie.  It was green with dark brown lace spirals down the sides. He held it up in front of him, raising his eyebrows asking for my opinion.  I resisted the temptation to roll my eyes and instead took a step back and looked him up and down.  He noticed me checking him out and spun in a circle then faced me again and struck a pose, flipping his lovely chestnut brown hair in the process.  A giggle escaped my lips as I shook my head.  I grabbed another piece of lingerie, except this time is was purple and showed a little more skin. Exactly what he needed.  I held it up in front him and he took it from me and struck another pose. I giggled and shook my head once more.  I began to search through racks looking for an appropriate choice for my sassy diva date.  I suddenly came upon the perfect one.  It was a red one piece with black lace flowers showing a grand part of the upper chest and belly.  It looked quite like a sailor.  I smirked and pulled it off the rack.  He raised his eyebrows, eyes wide but looked rather content with my choice.  He took it from my hands and took a few steps back, spinning a couple of times and finishing it all off with a pose and a dramatic hair flip.  I laughed and nodded.

He then attempted to get into it.  "I don't think it'll fit. Is there a bigger size?" he asked me searching throught the rack.

I laughed but he had a look of concentration on his face while he looked through the rack. He was undeniably  flawless. 

"Louis!!" I said laughing and dragging him away from the rack. The look of concentration left his face as he turned to me and laughed.  He allowed me to drag him out of Victoria Secret before we got kicked out.  And he casually threw his arm around my shoulder as we entered the chaotic streets of London, England.
