A Christmas Wish

Chapter 35

The train arrived at Waterloo and I got shoved off of the train by the mob following me. Louis made sure to follow me closely. "Where are you headed?" I asked him, wondering why he was so close to me. Louis didn't answer, but he grabbed the fabric on my jacket and pulled me along with him to a corner of the street. He waved down a taxi and pulled me into it. "I'm taking you on an adventure," he said with a smile and he tipped the driver as we took off. I looked at him with confusion stamped on my face. He giggled as he took out his phone and texted words to someone. "Who are you texting?" I asked, but I really didn't mean to ask. I hated sounding nosey. Louis looked up and shrugged at me with a smile still on his face. I rolled my eyes and looked outside the window. We passed by several old buildings with ancient architecture. I leaned my face against the cool window glass and I rested my eyes before I felt Louis' arm snake around my shoulders. I sat up quick and looked at him, again, with confusion. "What?! We are just friends. Don't get any ideas," he replied to my thoughts with a wink. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh followed a small laugh. Louis then squeezed me really hard on my side. "Lou! Stop!" I said, trying to push away from him in the small cab. Louis laughed and took his arm back from me. He makes me laugh. Haha.

"Here we are," Louis said, touching the driver's shoulder. The silent driver nodded and pulled to the curb. Louis opened the door for me, and held it for me as I stepped out onto the sidewalk. The winter breeze hit my face and I squinted in the cold air. "This way babe," Louis said, guiding me. "Where are we?" I asked him, not wanting to get into a bad situation like the bar again. Louis only laughed. Of course.
But before we got to the building, I saw a familiar figure sitting on a bench. It was Karla.
"KARLA!" I said as I ran over to her and hugged her. "I'm so sorry, you have no idea!" I said, as I wouldn't let go of her. "Don't touch me," she said, not looking up at me. She moved my long hair out of her face, and she stood up. "I am going to go find my sister now," she said with an angry face. "YOU LOST VAL?" I screamed. Karla rolled her eyes. "Like you would care," she replied, walking away, leaving me in the cold. "Louis! Is this why you brought me here? To argue and fight with my best friend?!" I yelled at him. He looked as if he was caught off guard by my yelling. "LOUIS!!" I yelled again. He sighed and walked closer to me, his steps cracking on the icy sidewalk. "Not entirely," he said, as I noticed a figure appear behind him.

"Oh my God I've been looking EVERYWHERE for you!" Harry said as he embraced me in a hug. Louis gave me a smug look and then jumped in on our hug. "Give Louis some love too!" Louis said, trying to get between us. We laughed and I squeezed him really tight.
The hug let loose and I looked up at Harry. "I thought you left me," I said with pleading eyes. Why was I even saying that?! "I left because I didn't want you mad at me. I hope you aren't mad anymore," Harry said, looking sensitively in my eyes. I smiled and giggled, tugging on the bottom of my jacket. I peeked back up at him and smiled. He smiled back. "So I guess that's a no?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. I busted out laughing and answered, "Of course I'm not mad anymore! I have you here!" Harry seemed pleased by my answer and he hugged me again, lifting me from the ground this time, and spinning me around.
"So did I do good, mate?" Louis asked Harry, tapping his shoulder. Harry looked over his shoulder and nodded with a huge grin appearing on his face. Apparently Harry set up this meeting. That's adorable.
"So I saw that Karla is mad?" Harry asked, looking in the direction she stomped off in. I bit my bottom lip and nodded hesitantly. Harry was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry," he said, not looking down at me. I looked at him in confusion. "Why?" I asked. "Because, if you hadn't been with me, you might not have been mad," he said. He sounded like a child, and I did NOT want him to feel like it was his fault. "No no no! It had nothing to deal with you! I was having an awesome time with you! I just, lost it," I confessed, looking at the ground in ashamement. "Okay good," he said smiling at me, tilting my head up towards his face. I giggled and he kissed my forehead. I could feel the warmth of his lips linger on my forehead even after he let go.

Holy shit. Harry just kissed me.
