Lou & Liv Trilogy (One Direction FanFiction)

Chapter Seventeen

Louis' P.O.V.

"But I love you...you are my everything. My heart races at the simple thought of you. When I see your smile, my stomach fills with butterflies. The way you look in the morning. The way you laugh at everything. Your horrible cooking. Your tendencies to get into trouble. I am in love with you and I always have. But I guess you've just lost your chance." I said with feeling. That's when I pivoted and stormed away. I didn't go far because I had to turn right around and bow as a closure of my audition. Then the girl I was auditioning with and I left the room to await the news. 

I guess you're probably wondering what's going on here. Let me rewind just a few days ago.

I got phoned about a possible film audition. They asked all the boys if they wanted to audition but I jumped at the chance first. I had always wanted to take a turn in the acting world. I was going to become a drama teacher at Uni if the X Factor didn't work out. So this was exciting for me. I was going to be able to get back into acting again. And other than singing and being in the band, this was another thing I wanted to do.

It was for a small part, not one that would take too much time to film. I had even cleared it with management, making sure it would be fine. It would steal me away for a month. And I was lucky enough that I would be gone for a month of our three-month break this winter. So if I got this part...I would not only be a band member in an internationally ranked boy band, but also an acting star in a film. Needless to say, I really wanted this part.

Zayn offered to pick me up afterwards. He was the only one that didn't have anything today. Harry and Niall were doing a benefit and Liam was going touring with a cousin of his who is in London for the day. I had the audition, and then Zayn had nothing. He expressed to me how he desperately wanted to do something so I just joked that he could pick me up. He accepted. He must really want to get out of his flat...

"Did it go well?" He asked meeting my in the lobby. I gave a lopsided smile.

"I think my acting was good...but when I was doing a little meet-and-greet with some of the cast that was already selected, no one took me seriously. They saw me as a little boy band member when I was actually older than half of them." I explained. He slapped a hand to my shoulder.

"I'm sure you'll get the part. You're a terrific actor, mate." Zayn said. I smiled.

"Thanks." I replied.

We exited to his car, which was new, might I add. He was extremely careful about his new 2012 Porsche Cayman R. It was red and just got shipped in last week. He's very careful about this car but loves to drive it around showing it off. Especially when he's with the rest of us. He loves to rub it in our faces that he has the newest car out of all of us. Show off.

We planned to go out to lunch, just us two, in order to catch up. Things have been hectic lately throughout all of us and we don't get to spend as much time together as most would think. We each like to go and visit our families a lot but when it's studio working time, like what we are doing now, we are with each other a lot. Except for the past two weeks. Everyone had something to do, and it was never with another lad. So it was nice to be able to have some one-on-one time with Zayn.

"So how're you and Perrie?" I asked as we sat down. I caught Zayn smile to himself as he scanned the menu.

"Great...she's...she's just perfect." He replied smiling up at me. I smiled at him and scanned the dishes. 

"That's always good to hear." I said mindlessly, looking over the steaks and ribs.

"How're you doing, mate?" Zayn then asked. I just shrugged.
