For Your Eyes Only

    It was so awkward. Not that it's awkward for Louis and her to hold hands but it's just awkward that El was staring directly. Taylor quickly shook of Louis' hand from the car door.

    Instead of going to a hotel with his team, Louis insisted he'd go with Taylor and El for a while, just to catch up, he says. Though Taylor knew it was a lot more than that, she saw     Louis sending obvious winks and doing his charming moves at El. It was both weird and awkward but at least El wasn't the third wheel. It was becoming her.

    In the argument of who's driving the car, Louis kept insisting that he drives, so accidentally, both put their hands on the car door.

    "I'm driving." She said, pulling the car door open. She was about to get inside when Louis pulled her back by her arm. "Ow." She said, glaring at Louis who had the most unreadable face.

    Then he smiled. "I am driving, red princess."

    "It's my car, you're just a guest."  Taylor grumbled.

    Louis shook his head. "It's too uncomfortable for boys to be in the passenger seat while a girl is driving, especially if it's red princess."

    "No, I hate the passenger seat." Taylor said seriously with the death glare Louis would usually back away to, and he did.

    Louis slowly backed away then smiled. "I was joking. Fine, passenger seat it is." He said then walked to the passenger seat.

    They all went inside the car, the only sound you could hear was the engine rumble and a certain song Louis was singing with. His voice sounds so amazing but none of them wanted to say a word. Taylor knew exactly why, it was her mood that was overpowering the atmosphere.

    She sighed, "El, you okay back there?" She asked.

    "Yep." El answered.

    "Lou?" Taylor asked. She wasn't exactly expecting an answer from Louis since. . . they share the same moods, when one is down, the other is dragged down as well.

    "Sorry, I forgot about the thing--from you know. . ."

    "Stop. Just stop." Taylor mumbled, she was trying so hard to focus and the same time trying to level her breathing. "Anxiety, it gets worse." She said, trying to make it 'open' since the method of shutting it doesn't help.

    "Wow, I'll drive and you sit beside El." He suggested. "Oh El, you okay back there?"

    "Yes. You guys are so-" El paused, probably hesitating.

    Louis raised an eyebrow with a charming smile, "So. . . what?"

    "Nothing." El answered, with a cheeky grin.

    "If I find out it's something, then you're dead!" Louis warned, looking at the mirror infront where El's reflection can be seen.

    "Ooh, I'm really shaking. What are you gonna do, smile the hell out of me?" El replied sarcastically.

    All of them inside the car laughed.
Taylor could've sworn she saw El smirking. She loved how the two acted like they knew each other for a while but in reality had only been thirty minutes ago.

    Louis continuously shatters the silence, singing through songs such as: 'Sweet Child o' Mine' and many more.

    "So, should I drive now?" Louis smiled.

    Taylor looked at him skeptically. Louis had never been an awful driver, she just brings herself the idea of annoying him first. . . though it was never successful.
