it is your 19th birthday today and you are going to have a party tonight. you have invited a few of your friends and family members, allowing them to bring whoever they please. one of the people you invited is your cousin Eleanor! you and Eleanor have always been super close so when she told you she was bringing along her boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson of One Direction, you were really excited to finally meet the person who has kept Eleanor so happy.
*at the party*
not many people have arrived yet, just a few of your friends and their boyfriends. you felt like a third, fifth, seventh, etc. wheel! you are currently single, in fact you’ve never even had a real relationship. you just shop around.
you left your friends and their girlfriends in the living room for a moment to use the bathroom. you didn’t have to go, you just wanted to get away from all those couples.
walking into the bathroom, you closed the door, locking it, and stood in front of the mirror. you began to check out your completion to make it seem like you were actually using the restroom when the doorbell rang.
Eleanor! you thought and got really excited.
“i’ll get it!” you yelled unlocking the door and running out of the bathroom, rushing past your best friend who was just about to get up and answer the door.
you swung the door open, revealing Eleanor. Louis was right behind her but you were to focused on Eleanor to care.
“(y/n)!” Eleanor squeaked. she pulled you into hug, her warm embrace comforting you. your head fit between Eleanors shoulder as you hugged her tightly, giving you a view of Louis staring directly at you with complete adoration in his eyes. He smiled at you with his pearly whites making your heart skip a beat, something you haven’t felt in a long time.
“(y/n), this is Louis!” Eleanor said releasing the hug and gesturing to her boyfriend.
Oh my god. i just got all starry eyes over my cousins boyfriend. i’m a horrible person. you thought to yourself.
“Hello, (y/n). How are you?” Louis said taking your hand into his and kissing the top of it. He kept eye contact with you, giving you the same look of admiration as he had before. the way he said your name gave you butterflies. you cursed yourself but stopped as you continued to think.
maybe i’m not the only person starry eyed in this triangle. you thought. it was obvious he liked you by the way he kept on looking at you. he hasn’t even looked Eleanors direction (A/N: *wink wink*) since he first laid his eyes on you.
“Come in!” you said pulling your hand out of Louis’ grasp. you stepped aside letting them in, Louis nodding slightly as he walked past you. just that movement gave you butterflies causing you to curse yourself again.
