Arrangments (Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

"Well, it's nice to meet you too!" The one boy teased. "I'm Harold, but you can call me Harry." He said, pulling me into a hug. I was startled by his enormous figure, but gently wrapped my arms around him in return.

"Hello love! I'm Liam, it's nice to meet you." I was enveloped by another pair of arms.

"I'm Zayn" a thick accent said, pulling my into yet another hug.

"Bond. James Bond." The blonde one looked at me seriously, holding out his hand. I couldn't contain myself and I erupted in a loud fit of laughter. "I'm just joking ya. I'm Niall" he smiled twisting his arms around me.

I step back and observe all four boys. "Hiya. I'm Estelle but you probably already guessed that."

"Well, don't be shy, come on in. Can I get either of you something to drink?" Liam asked politely. Louis glanced towards me waiting for an answer. I subtly shook my head and he replied for both of us.

"I'll just have some juice. Stella's good." He sat down on the couch in the cozy living room before pulling me into his lap. I blushed, somewhat embarrassed about displaying anymore affection in front of his friends.

"So tell us about yourself Estelle." Zayn questioned.

"Ummm. For starters, I'm American incase you couldn't already tell. I'm 21 years old and I have one older brother, Ezra."

"What about your parents?" Harry asked. My body stiffened at the thought of my deceased dad and ill mom. Louis looked at me with sympathy. I gave a slight nod as if to tell him I was alright.

"Well, um, my moms back in Cali with my brother, but she's sick I guess." A confused and slightly worries look crossed all the boys faces. "Well she has really bad depression and she isn't taking the whole thing with me coming out here very well."

"And your dad?" Liam spoke quietly as if he was afraid.

"He passed away. About three months ago." My breath caught on the last word a small tear ran down my cheek.

"He had a rare heart condition. The family had no clue." Louis continued for me. "He's the reason Stella's here with me now. My father and him were very close and when he found out that he was dying he came out to England and asked if I would agree to an arranged marriage." The other four it's all gasped in response. They were shocked, and with good reason. "So yeah, here we are." He finished quietly.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Estelle. You must be going through so much right now." One of the boys with dark hair sympathetically replied.

"Wait. So you mean to tell us that your engaged?" Niall posed. Both Lou and I nodded. "Like getting married?! that kind of engaged?"

"What will management say?" Liam worried.

"We already talked to them, and we won't be getting married any time soon. We just met a month and a half ago so we're taking it slow. We want to have as realistic of a relationship as possible."

"So you're just dating then?" Harry asked once again.

"Yup."

"With the intentions of marriage?"

"Hopefully, yeah." I sent a shy smile to Louis.

"Well it's nice to see that you've got Tommo to mature a bit!" Harry joked.

"HEY! I've always been mature." He pouted in response.

"Sure, sure."

"Well thanks again for having us! It was really so much fun!"

"Anytime dear. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the future. I'll have to get you and Soph together sometime. I'm sure she'd love you" Liam spoke again.

"Yeah that would be great! I need some girl friends over here." I smiled "Lou sweetie come on. We don't want to keep poor Liam up all night."

"I'm coming, sorry I took so long! Niall and I were just discussing football. Thanks mate! I'll see you on Monday." Louis waved while pulling me out the door.
