Mercedes. (One Direction Fanfiction)

First Date

Chapter 3

Mercedes POV

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I was late to when I said I'd meet Louis. We were going to meet at 12:40, since that was what time it was we saw each yesterday. It's 12:55. Ugh I always screw things up.

And on top of that, I don't have a skateboard to ride there, I'll have to run.

I know what you're thinking. A skater should have multiple skateboards. Well I don't.

I quickly threw my hoodie on over my tank top. I also had on jeans and my Nike sneakers.

I stepped out of my house and breathed.

And then. I ran.

When I got there in a matter of 20 minutes, I saw Louis.

"Louis! I'm so sorry. I forgot what time it was and then I had to run over here....and.. I'm sorry." I told him, looking into his eyes. Which I now realized were absolutely gorgeous.

"It's ok, I uh got you something by the way." he said, looking happy, like the fact that I was 35 minutes late was nothing to worry about.

He pulled a skateboard out from behind his back and it was the most perfect thing I had ever seen.

It had a big yellow bow on the top, and the bottom was full of different colors and designs. I loved it.

"Oh my god Louis! You didn't have to do that!" I told him.

"I wanted to. I caused your other one to get run over so I thought I could get you a new one. I hope you like it." He smiled awkwardly.

"I love it." I told him. I quickly enveloped him in a hug. He hesitated to hug back, so I realized how weird this must be.

I pulled away.

"Oh uh sorry. It's just, I don't get that many presents so I didn't-"

"It's ok. So will you go to dinner with me? Tonight? Nothing too fancy. What do you say?" he rushed out all the questions.

"Absolutely. Pick me up at 7?" I asked. Louis nodded his head so he handed me a pen from his back pocket and I wrote my address on his arm.

He smiled widely, just like the chesire cat. If he smiled bigger, he face would crack.

"I'll see you then." I smiled. I took the bow off the skateboard and stuck it to the top of my head. I then rode my new skateboard home, a smile on my face the whole ride.

I had a date. Tonight. Holy shit.

Louis POV

She said yes. She loved the skateboard. I have her address. Whoa.

I quickly made my way back to the hotel.

When I arrived at our room, I threw the door open. All the boys were in the kitchen, eating lunch. They all looked at me with confused faces.

"Where the hell have you been?" Zayn asked me before shoving another bite of his sandwich in his mouth.

"All I can say is that I, Louis Tomlinson, have a date tonight!"

All the boys cheered and dog-piled on top of me.

"Who is she?" Harry asked.

"Her name is Mercedes. Everyone calls her Benz though." I told them all.

"Cool name!" Liam said.

I saw Niall out of the corner of my eye. He had gone back to eating his sandwich, but it didn't look like he was all that hungry anymore.
