"How many plates do I need to put out?" I asked Dad.

"15." He replied pouring a packet of crisps into a bowl. It had been three months since Dad had been promoted. Dad decided he wanted to throw a house party so all day we had been running around preparing food and cleaning the house. It was also myself and Louis' two month anniversary. Things were going great! I didn't see Harry that much anymore but when I did Nat was with him. Speaking of Nat...she apologised for being the way she was and we started talking again. But it was going to take me a while to warm to her. I had met another girl called Layla and she was more my best friend now. Natalie was just someone I couldn't get rid of. And she never stopped talking about Harry! The doorbell rang.

"That'll be Louis," I informed Dad as I headed into the hallway, "He's going to help out." I opened the front door revealing a rather stunning Louis. He gathered me up in his arms and kissed me gently. "You look completely gorgeous. I love you so much." He whispered into my hair.

"Not as much as I love you." I took his hand and led him into the kitchen. Louis walked over to my Dad and shook his hand.

"Sir, have no fear! Captain Tomlinson is here!" He said with his hand out in front of him; superman style. I giggled. He was too good.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint, but, I'm pretty much done now!" Said Dad, "However, you could take that damsel in distress to her chamber while I lay the table and keep her out of the way!" He pointed at me. Louis ran over to me and without warning lifted me over his shoulder so that I was hanging down his back.

"Louis! Put me down!" I screamed gently punching him, but it was no use. He ran upstairs with me and threw me onto my bed. "Jeez Louis. Bit on the rough side wasn't it?!" I said as he lay next to me. He stroked my cheek gently. I couldn't stay mad at him for more than a few seconds. I leaned in closer ready to kiss him.

"You wanna know something?" He said looking deep into my eyes.

"Definitely." He paused, then smiled.

"I need a wee!" He jumped up and ran out of my room slamming the door behind him. He never failed to make me laugh! I heard by phone beep from my bedside table. I reached over and checked my messages. To my suprise I had two!

Layla: Hey gorgeous!! I'm on my way, got some nachos;D Love you!!xxx

Natalie: Hey there, just getting ready with my wonderful boyfriend Harry;)...see you in a bit.

I sighed. Even though I didn't really want Harry and Nat there, it would be rude not to invite them.

Reply to Layla: Okay my lovely. See you soon, can't wait! Love you too!xxx

Reply to Nat: See you then.

I looked at the time. Louis still hadn't come back....where was he? I walked into the hallway and knocked on the toilet door. "Lou? Are you still in there?" I turned around and saw Louis smiling at me. How did he get there?!

"My beautiful girl, Anabelle. I want you to know something." He said stepping towards me.

"And what might that be Captain Tomlinson?" I asked biting my lip.

"No one has every made me as happy as you have. I know we've only been going out for two months but I just need to make sure you know that...I love you with all my heart. You may not like carrots and you can be annoying sometimes but you what? You are perfect and the only girl for me." He took out a small blue box and walked towards me, "I have something for you." My heart started racing. I was way too young! I gulped and watched as he opened the box revealing a beautiful crystal necklace. I relaxed.

"Louis...it's beautiful!! But it looks so expensive?"

He lifted my hair and fastened the necklace. "You're worth everything I have Anabelle. Remember that." I span around and placed my lips on his. He lifted me off the ground slightly and welcomed the kiss.

"Oh purlease. Get a room."

"Natalie?" I said breaking away. I looked her up and down. She was wearing a tiny black skirt and a pink crop top showing off the top of her bra. He hair was curled and her skin looked a funny orange colour. Not to mention her spider eye lashes....She looked a state.

"Your Dad let me in...said you would be up here?" She looked at Louis smiling. "If you don't mind, I need to talk to her alone." She smirked at him as he kissed me quickly and hurried downstairs to greet Harry.

"Now then Anabelle." She practically spat out my name and stared at me. "I am so sick of you looking at my boyfriend the way you do." What? Where was this coming from?

"What the hell? I haven't seen him for weeks?! And even when I do see him I don't look at him in any particular way?"

"Whatever. But if you dare lay your hands on him...your DEAD MEAT." It was funny, she was acting very jealous...I laughed at her, walked past her and ran downstairs. There were a lot of people in my house by this time. I spotted Harry and Louis in the kitchen having a drink together, best not to disturb them. I walked into the lounge where my Dad was passing around some food. I spotted Layla sat on her own.

"LAYLA!" I shouted above the music, she heard me and got the message. I walked up to my room and lay back on my bed. She was sleeping over tonight. She soon followed, threw her bag on the floor and lay next to me. She looked at the necklace I was playing with.

"Aw that's cute! Where's it from?" She asked, propping herself up on her elbow.

"Louis. It's our two month anniversary today." I replied shyly.

"SHUT. UP." She sat up, cross-legged. "That is so cute. Next thing you know, you'll be getting married!" She gushed.

"I thought he was going to propose! I was so nervous! " Then we both rolled around in fits of giggles. "I feel really guilty for not getting him anything though. Wait here," I said, "I'll get us some food." I headed out into the hallway and just before I reached the stairs I found myself being dragged backwards into the spare room with a hand clamped over my mouth. It was too dark for me to see who it was. "Louis?" I asked into the darkness.

"Louis? LOUIS? Is he all you think about now?" I recognised the voice instantly.

"Harry...I really need to get some food for Layla and I...please." I turned to leave the room but his hand pulled me back. I could feel his warm breath on my lips.

"Anabelle. I need you. I want you. Please. Ever since that kiss..." He paused.

"Harry, I'm dating Louis, your dating Natalie. I can't-"

"Please. I don't love Natalie, I never did and I never will. I think she knows it as well." That would explain our little "conversation" earlier. "I love you. I can't see you with Louis anymore." He whispered in a husky voice. Even in the dark I was attracted to him.

He lifted his hand to my cheek and stroked it. I was so glad it was dark, else he would have seen how red I had gone. He leaned in and kissed me gently. Without thinking I kissed back and pulled him onto the bed. His hands fumbled under my t-shirt and he whispered inmy ear "I knew you wanted me too." Then suddenly realized what I was doing, I pulled away from him. "Harry. I can't do this. I'm in love with Louis" I went to sit up. The light turned on, I leaned around Harry to see Louis staring at us open mouthed, eyes darting from me to Harry. Harry pulled his hand out from my top. He started to speak, "Mate...it's not-" Louis held his hand up, silencing Harry and shut his eyes as if trying to block out the pain. I saw a lone tear run down his cheek and drop onto the carpet. What had I done! Suddenly, he slammed the door and ran out of the room.
