LOUIS' POV

It was just a normal day, commonly called the day after Christmas, which I wanted to make it special. Also, its been a week since, you know what happened.... and yes, Niall is perfectly fine, even though he got us all worried sick and now only a scar remains in his chest (which he is actually pretty proud of). I'd invited the lads and their gals to my place for just a few days. My twenty fifth birthday and Christmas were over. And now, another special day of my life. I'd told Niagara what I would do today. So we'd planned that she'd dare me to slow dance with El.

I still remember the way Eleanor's eyes sparkled with excitement. I took her hand and led her to the front. Niagara, worked her magic, and all of my sisters, mum, and stepdad came in. They all were looking at me expectantly. I put an arm around her waist and Truly, Madly, Deeply began to play from somewhere.

Eleanor smiled at me and put an arm around my neck. We both started to dance. I could feel her breath on my shoulder. The song slowly came to a stop.

"I didn't know that you'd waltz so well Tommo" she said with a smile.

"I am a man of surprises"

Oh, is it?"

"Can I surprise you now?"

"Go ahead.."

I took her hands and breathed deep. I have to make this moment perfect. It is going to be an important moment in both of our lives.

"Eleanor Jane Calder... you are a superwoman. You everyday deal with my messiness and immaturity. And not to mention the terrible amount of hate on each and every social media. But I on the other hand, got a perfect partner. I am glad that Harry set us up. El.. I want you to know that I love you... and that will never fade... and I.... I wanted to call you mine from the moment I laid my eyes on you. And believe me, I got so jealous when Harry hugged you that day and I couldn't because I didn't know you.

Let's just cut the chase because I can go on rambling forever like this about you.

Eleanor Calder... will you marry me?"

She was so, so stunned when I got down to one knee that I wanted to laugh. Don't you dare do that Tomlinson! She's your girlfriend!

"YES! A MILLION, BILLION, ZILLION TIMES YES! LOUIS WILLIAM TOMLINSON! I..."

I could see tears brimming in the edges of her eyes as I put on her ring. It was just a simple one with a ruby in the shape of a love heart.

"El, I..." I couldn't complete my sentence as she crashed her lips on mine. The taste of her lips were making me week to my knees. Breathe Tommo, breathe. You can't kiss her forever. But now this beautiful woman is forever yours to kiss. Yeah!

As we broke away, I heard my youngest sister Doris call me.

"Boo... who is this?" she asked.

"Who?" I asked her and she handed me an old photograph.

"This is.... this is...."I couldn't find the right words.

"Louis?!" I heard a voice call out my name. Thank you Niagara....

"Louis... a direct plane to Ireland is not available today from here! And we've both missed Christmas...  but one is available at midnight from Holmes Chapel...." she said.

And I could only say, "Then I guess it's onward ho to Harry's place..."
