Six Girls, Five Guys, One Summer (One Direction)

Chapter 26: Louis Finally Tries It

A/N Hey everyone! So, I got time to type the chapter up finally! The winner of the contest for POV of this chapter was Louis, actually, but Simone's will be next chapter. I hope to have it up as soon as I can, once I finish a mission trip. No WiFi there, but I'll be writing whenever I get the opportunity there.

If you're wondering, "What contest?" it was on my profile page. I had a contest for which of the two POVs I should do on there. I came up with it after I posted the previous chapter and since quite a lot of you had read it already, I thought it probably wasn't worth editing, since more of you would probably see it on my profile. If you didn't, I apologize, and there may be more contests in other chapters later on, of both this book and others.

So, since this is Louis's chapter, this is the go-karts! Woo! By the way, I hope you all enjoy it!

Louis's POV

"Morning, lads," I greeted as I walked to where my band mates were starting breakfast. I poured myself a glass of orange juice and took a seat between Harry and Zayn.

"Morning, Lou," they chorused, although Niall’s came out in a mumble, since he was in the middle of a bite of his toast.

I found myself laughing a bit at it under my breath, and took a sip of the juice. "So, how was everybody's day yesterday?" I asked them. Niall, Liam and Harry all mumbled some "good"s and "alright"s, but Zayn was silent, looking down at his meal. "Zayn?"

"I screwed up," Zayn mumbled.

"What happened? Yesterday was your date with Kelly, right? I thought it was supposed to be great," Niall said after swallowing his bite of food.

"Yeah, that's what he kept saying before he left," Harry said.

I then attempted an imitation of Zayn from last night before the date. "This date is going to be perfect, I just know it. I'm going to finally make my move," I imitated, fixing my hair a bit. We all laughed, except for Zayn, who looked really annoyed. I then felt really guilty. I had gotten to know him so well in the past three years to know when he really meant he felt horrible about something. His actions and just the way he talked this morning, it was pretty obvious in hindsight, especially after I had made fun of him as well. "Sorry Zayn. So what actually happened?" I asked, stopping my laughter and becoming more serious about it.

"I made a huge mistake last night when I was with Kelly," Zayn sighed. "Okay, so there was this waitress. She kept kind of flirting with me while Kelly was there," he began.

Harry somewhat cut him off. "Oh...I see where this is going," he mumbled.

Zayn continued as if he hadn't heard him. "I did make sure that she knew that Kelly was with me on a date, or at least I thought I did. She passed me her number-.”

“Oh...” we all knew what was next. Kelly saw this and he must have taken it, misunderstanding, and the rest is history.

"And I took the number in order to throw it away when she wasn't there to see it. Kelly got really mad, probably thinking that I was flirting with the waitress. I would have explained, but she was silent the rest of the night. I feel so horrible. I have a feeling she's still going to be mad, even though she isn't one to hold grudges," Zayn explained, sighing at the end. He knew he had messed up big time. And he was right about Kelly. She wasn't one to hold grudges, but it was possible.

"That really explains a lot. You and Kelly did come out of the restaurant not as excited as you had been when you got there," Liam observed.
