I Hate You ~ Louis Tomlinson

ON A THURSDAY?

"Come on Natalie, come with us!" Harry whines, holding onto her hands.

"It's a Thursday Harry, who goes clubbing on a Thursday?" She deadpans.

"Cool people," Liam chimes in.

"Nah, you guys go and have fun, I was kind of looking forward to some time by myself," she says and then quickly adds, "No offense."

"Yeah, come on guys. Leave her alone, everyone needs space once in a while." Zayn says.

"Thank you," she says as he hugs her goodbye.

"You sure you'll be alright?" Harry asks, he's the last one to leave.

"Yes mom, I'll be okay," she says goofily.

Harry kisses her head and then meets Zayn, Niall, and Liam at their car. Louis has gone out with one of his friends and shouldn't be back until late so she has the house all to herself.

She decides to make some pizza, something that reminds her of home. When she was a kid her mom used to make pizza for her family every Friday night.

Natalie loves to cook and bake. She's messy when she does it, but she loves doing it all the same. Since she has the house to herself, she can play her music and sing as she pleases without being embarrassed. She misses home, but this is a nice way for her to be reminded of it.

Tonight she's going to eat and dance around in her pajamas and watch a movie. It will be sort of a quiet night without all the boys, but she hasn't been truly alone in a while and she's been craving it.

A couple songs in and she is basically covered in flour. Her music is loud and she isn't particularly a great dancer, but she can move to the beat of a song. All things considered, she's very happy. 

"Nice moves."

She screams out loud and Louis starts cackling. She whips around to see him leaning against the door frame watching her with an amused smile on his face.

"What the hell? I thought you were out tonight." She shrieks, as she puts her hand over her heart and tries to catch her breathe.

"Well, I was, but my friend wasn't feeling well so he had to go home."

"Oh no, is he okay?" She asks sincerely.

"Mm hm just a headache."

She nods and goes back to making her pizza.

"You can put your music back on if you want, doesn't bother me." He says nicely.

"No, that's okay." Even though he's just heard her sing, she's still very shy about it.

"Come on, we both know you have a great voice, and you were having such a good time before I ruined it." He says pouting.

Like actually pouting and she thinks she might faint. He's so cute. She doesn't let herself think that lot, but when it's just the two of them it's hard for her not to notice.

"You didn't ruin it," she says sweetly, "Fine. I'll turn it back on." She says rolling her eyes, but she has a wide smile on her face. Especially when she sees his face, he looks like he's glowing with happiness and it's so weird.

They definitely have warmed up to each other compared to when she first arrived, but it's so turbulent. She never knows how its going to be and she doesn't want to be strung along.

"Can I queue up a song?" Louis asks interrupting her train of though.

"Sure," she shrugs and hands him her phone.
