Arranging Alexandria [ON HOLD]

Chapter 30

-Louis's POV-

"So what are you gonna cook?" I asked Alex as we walked around the grocery store and I pushed the shopping cart.

"Pie..." She mumbled. "Some other stuff." She grabbed some ingredients off the shelf and put them in the cart.

"Where's the pie crust?" She asked herself, scanning the shelves. I found it and got it from the top shelf. "Tall person." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

"You're the basketball player. You're supposed to be tall." I chuckled.

"You're dumb." She scoffed.

"Yeah, I've been around you too long." I replied with a smirk.

"I hope you remember that I'm the only one in this relationship that can cook. So unless you want ramen noodles for the next two weeks, shut up." She told me, smirking too.

"That isn't fair." I pouted.

"I'm sure we could get you some frozen dinners that you can microwave too." She said.

"Okay, I'm shutting up." I said instantly. "Have I ever told you that you're pretty?"

"Flattery won't get you anywhere, Tomlinson."

"Not trying to get anywhere. I'm just making sure you'll cook for me, future Tomlinson." I winked at her.

"You know, if we got married in China then you would turn into Louis Tomlinson Hayden?" She asked me.

"We're getting married in London. Not China." I chuckled. She stopped walking and looked at me. Her playful look had left and she was dead serious.

"London?" She questioned.

"Yeah, what's wrong with London?" I inquired. Nobody ever said we're getting married in London. I just figured we would.

"Nothing." She mumbled, shaking her head. What's wrong with London?

-Alex's POV-

"I'm so excited!" Hannah grinned. The dinner was a success. Everybody was thrilled to hear about Jessica's pregnancy. Brandon was grinning from ear to ear, obviously proud that he's now a father.

"I say ten dollars that it's a girl." Casey said.

"Are you seriously betting on my child?" Jessica rolled her eyes.

"I seriously am." He chuckled.

"Twenty dollars that's it's a boy." My Uncle Cade said.

"What do you think it is?" My cousin, Josh, asked me. He was two months older than me. We grew up together, but he moved an hour and half away a couple years ago so we don't see each other much.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "As long as he or she is healthy. I don't care." I then realized that Josh and Louis have never properly met. "You haven't met Louis, right?" I asked Josh.

"Boyfriend?" He questioned.

"Fiancé, actually." I chuckled. "Josh, this is Louis. Lou, this is my cousin Josh." I introduced them.

"You're treating her like you should, right?" Josh narrowed his eyes at Louis.

"Who wouldn't?" Louis replied. Josh smiled and gave us a thumbs up.

"He's a keeper." Aunt Jenny, Josh's mom, whispered in my ear before walking away to go obsess over Jess.

"Do they like me?" Lou asked nervously.

"Of course." I nodded. "They don't have much of a choice, though. It's an arranged marriage." His face fell when I said that. "Everything okay?" I asked yeah.
