Win Me Over (Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 3

~Chapter 3~

Nikki's P.O.V.

I quickly shut the door behind me, sliding down slowly to sit. I took my beanie off and sunk my head into my hands. What was that all about? Why did this have to happen to me? I sighed. Staying on the floor, I took out my phone. I checked instagram, as usual. As I was scrolling through all of these pointless selfies, I noticed one of them. I looked closer and saw that it was Louis with a bunch of his friends I guess. It looks like they were at a party? There were about 12 of them, all making funny faces at the camera. I noticed one of them sitting down on the couch beside them, looking harmless. He doesn't look like he'd be someone to hang out with these kids. How come I've never seen any of them before? I mean they obviously live around here if Louis just spotted me on a random night. I looked at the username. My friend posted this...where would she be at a party with these boys without telling me? I texted her.

'Hey Lil, what's up??'

I waited for a reply. My phone finally buzzed and I looked at the screen.

'Nuthin' was all she said. Nuthin? She was lying to me. But why?

'Where were u tonight? I saw that pic on ig...who were those boys?' I hit send, biting my nails.

'My cousins party. Gtg ill txt u later xoxo' she said.

'K, xoxo' I replied.

None of those boys looked familiar. Besides Louis. How does Lily know Louis though? Ugh. I'm so confused. I stood up and walked into my bathroom to take a shower. That usually helped me to clear my thoughts. I put on Ed Sheeran radio on pandora. As I stepped into the shower, I was singing along to 'Give Me Love.' If only I could sing...it was more like shouting. Really off key and stuff...whatevs it's not x factor here. I began thinking about the words to the song. 'Give me love like never before...cuz lately I've been waking up alone.' Then I thought about Louis. How empty his eyes were. Like he needed someone to give him love. But he's a bad boy...I'm a good girl. I don't do anything wrong, I'm just a normal teenager who is constantly listening to music or texting. That's all. I don't go to clubs or get drunk. I'm only 17! It sickens me that people my age, even younger, do that kind of stuff. Ugh. Why doesn't Louis like those kind of girls? I've heard opposites attract, was that the case here? I mean it's not like I like Louis. I don't even know if he likes me! He was probably on his way home from that party and wanted someone to mess with. I got to be that lucky girl. Yay. Luckily it was a one time thing...right? I hope I'd never have to see him again. He scared me. I don't like being controlled. If you know me, you know that. Even if I seem shy at first, once you get to know me, you'll completely forget we once hadn't known each other. But tonight was different. Like I didn't have a choice. He completely took over. Huh.

I turned the water off, being in the shower long enough. I stepped out to grab my towel. I put my longish, brown hair to the side as I got dressed. I threw on a tee shirt and short shorts and put my hair in a messy bun. I took out my contacts and put on my glasses. I hated wearing them. I went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. It made me feel so british. Even though I'm in London, I'm from America. I'm just here for a few years to study. Cuddling into my covers with my tea, I turn the tv on.

'This just in, 5 teenage boys caught for sneaking behind the local high school building. Suspects include Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson.'

I practically choked on my tea. Those were the boys in the picture!! And Louis!! I immediately grabbed my phone and called Lily.

"Lil!!" I whisper-shouted in the phone just in case she was half asleep.

"Ughhh. Yeaaa?" she said yawning. Yup. Guess I woke her up.

"Put on channel 7!" I demanded.

"Ugh fine." She said. "OMG! NIK! I know them!!" she said referring to the boys on the screen.

"I know! They're the boys in your insta pic!" I said.

"I know!" she said. "I have to go. I'm gonna call my cousin and see what's going on. Bye love ya!" she said.

"Okay, love you!" I said hanging up. She doesn't know about what happened between me and Louis though...

I focused back on the news. '...and they will be taken to jury for illegal trespassing. This wraps up our night, goodnight London!' the man said and the show ended. Jury?! This boy, well, boys, rather, are dangerous!!! I turned off the tv and began to fall asleep. Until my phone rang. Ugh. I know it wasn't Lily, so who else would be calling me at 2 am? I checked the caller ID. Blocked.

'Hello?' I asked.

'Hi, Nikki, it's Louis...'

I froze.
