A Christmas Wish

Chapter 18

"VALERIE!" I yelped as I ran to hug my darling sister who walked in the door with the same boy I saw earlier who was in a trench coat, but I paid no attention to him. I was just happy to see my sister was alive and well. "Oh, I'm so glad to know that you are okay," I said, not letting go of my sister. She was being dramatic and pretended to choke from my hug. I let go and rolled my eyes at her. "Really Val?" I asked, almost flicking her nose. She giggled and ran over to the boy again. She pointed up at him, and he smiled at me, admiring my figure. I walked over to him and crossed my arms. "Why did you have my little sister?" I asked, trying to get over the fact that a boy who looked so similar to one of the boys in One Direction was in front of me. I saw Karla out of the corner of my eye drooling over this guy. In fact, she almost looked mesmerized by his appearance. The boy looked up into my eyes and chuckled. "I didn't have your sister! She came to me!" he said, patting Val's head. Val smiled and nodded at me in reassurance. "In fact, she said she left the hotel to find me and the rest of the guys in the band. She said you would never let her do that alone,"

No. Way.

"Wait, you are in a band?" I asked, trying not to sound too stupid. I wanted to believe that he was Louis Tomlinson, because he looked a LOT like him, but we all know how likely that is. Louis laughed and pulled out his wallet and he had a picture of five boys sitting together at what looked like a soccer game. "Here we are," he said, pushing it closer to me. It was the five boys I saw on the computer. It was the five boys that changed Karla's life. It was the five boys who we were going to interview tomorrow at the O2 Arena. My God, I was speaking to Louis William Tomlinson out of the band One Direction.
"Why are you here?" I asked, wondering why he wasn't with all of the other boys getting ready for tomorrows last show. Louis shrugged as he tugged his left sleeve down a bit. "I was looking for another place to stay because we didn't want to get mobbed staying at the same place, and this place seemed pretty calm so I told the guys I'd ask if they had a room... but they don't," Louis said, with a frustrated sigh. "Louis?" Karla finally spoke. Louis looked over at her and smiled. "Yes love?" he asked, smiling with his teeth showing. "You... You boys mean the world to me, and I have always dreamed of speaking to you in real life, but I never thought I had the chance to say this, but I am absolutely, positively in love with you,"
We all were silent for a few moments.

It was awkward.

"Well, thank you ... um —" "Karla," Karla answered since he was questioning her name. "And I'm Cat," I joined in, leaning towards the previously awkward conversation. "Well, I guess I should be going now. The guys might be wondering why I'm still gone. And Im glad your sister is safe," Louis said before leaving the hotel through the glass sliding doors.
Karla, Val, and I stood in shock at the trail Louis just walked away on. I couldn't believe it. We met Louis Tomlinson out of the internationally famous band of One Direction! "Woah," Val said with a smile. "He's totally falling for me," Karla said with attitude, snapping her fingers down to her side. "I cant believe it," I said, before grabbing Val's hand and ordering them out the door.
"Where are we going?" Val asked, trying to break loose of my grip. "We're gonna go get food, duh," I said giggling. I heard Karla's "yes's" as she pulled her fist down from the sky.
