Crazy Little Thing Called Love

June Wedding or How I Met Lottie Tomlinson

Hi, everyone, a double update today! :) Maybe I'll even continue writing later tonight. I hope you enjoy Louis and Lottie's banter as much as I enjoyed writing it! All the love, Summer xxx

The next Saturday, Lily and I boarded the plane towards Doncaster Airport which was the closest to the arena in Sheffield. We were both massively excited as we would not only see the boys again, but also meet most of their closest friends and family. The whole flight, Lily was bouncing her left leg up and down which drove me crazy, while I listened to anything but One Direction to distract myself. When the pilot announced our imminent arrival in Doncaster, we were both close to hyperventilating.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I'm gonna die." Lily kept mumbling next to me. "Shut up, Lily, I'm nervous, too." I snapped at her. I sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." I apologised to her. I took her hand in mine and gave it a light squeeze. Louis had told me that he would try to come to the airport to collect me himself, but he wasn't sure if he would be free with most of his family and friends coming to the show as well.

The plane touched down around lunch time and even with all the nerves, I was starting to be hungry again. We made our way out of the plane towards the exit. I knew that Louis would either send someone else to collect us or wear some form of disguise because especially the Doncaster airport was critical for him, as he often got mobbed by excited fans. Everyone knew that the boys would be in the Sheffield area this weekend and there were probably fans waiting at the airport to see the boys or some of their friends and family arriving for their last show.

Suddenly, Lily elbowed me. "Claire!" she whisper-shouted. "What?" I asked. "Isn't that Ben Winston?" I looked to my left. There really was Ben Winston standing there a few metre next to us. "Should we talk to him?" Lily asked me. "And say what 'Hey we're friends with the boys, but you don't know us because we don't want to be seen much in public with them?' Yeah, like that's gonna work."

Lily giggled next to me. "Well, it would be funny to see his face." I chuckled. "That's true but I don't want to embarrass myself completely. Not today, at least." We casually strolled towards the exist and tried to ignore the fact that Ben Winston was walking a few metres behind us. We both totally admired him. "Okay, Claire, concentrate." I told myself. "Find Louis or someone else who holds up your names and get out of here."

The two of us walked through the exit and I spotted a girl with long whitish hair and big sunglasses and a head on,who was holding up a sign that said "Claire, Lily & Ben's pick up service". We casually walked over to her and gave her a small smile and a wave. When she spotted us, she dropped the sign and pulled first me, than Lily and then Ben into a hug.

"Hello, you three!" She said cheerfully and took off her sunglasses for a short moment. This moment was enough to realise who was standing there in front of me, the one and only, Lottie Tomlinson. "Hi, I'm Lottie and you must be Claire and Lily?" she asked in our direction and we nodded. "Okay, I'll just quickly introduce you to each other. Ben, these are Claire and Lily", she pointed at us, "and girls, this is Ben Winston. Lily is a friend of Niall and Claire is Louis' friend." she added with a grin in my direction. Ben shook our hands and then Lottie already dragged us towards the car park.

"We need to hurry up, Louis and Niall will kill me if I let them wait too long." she said with a glance in our direction. "Niall's here, too?" Lily asked, her voice slightly higher than usual. Lottie nodded and grinned. "We couldn't stop him from coming with us. Harry wanted to come as well, but Gemma arrived a couple of minutes before we had to leave, so he stayed with her instead." My heart skipped a beat. I had completely forgotten who I would be meeting today and I felt my throat closing up, so I tried to concentrate on the fact the I would get to hug Louis in a couple of minutes which calmed me down a little bit.

Lily, Ben and Lottie chatted amongst themselves while we walked through the maze of the car park. I was too nervous about seeing Louis and the rest of the boys again to talk much. They had parked the car in a corner that was very far away from the car park entrance to avoid being seen. Unfortunately that didn't prevent them from being heard and we could already hear the music coming from their car long before we saw it.

We approached the car and Lottie sharply knocked on one of the windows. The music immediately stopped and Niall's grinning face appeared in the window. "Lily!" he cheered and a few seconds later, Lily was in his arms. "Aha, I see were your priorities lie, Mr Horan." I commented and pouted.

The next second, someone hugged me from behind. I looked up and saw Louis grinning down at me. He let me go and I quickly turned around to give him a proper hug. "Hi, love." he said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled up at him. "Hi, Lou." From the corner of my eyes, I saw Lottie grinning widely at us and I quickly let go of Louis. He, however, didn't seem to want to let go of me so soon and intertwined our fingers and gave my hand a small squeeze. Niall, who had let go of Lily, walked over and gave me a one-armed-hug after he had greeted Ben, which was a bit difficult because Louis was still holding my hand.

"Alright, lovebirds, back in the car." Lottie said and Louis shot her a dark look, but climbed back into the car, nevertheless. Lottie, Louis and I ended up in the middle, while Niall and Lily sat in front of the car. Ben was happy in the back and had called his wife, who he was talking to right now. "Sooooo... how long is the drive to the arena?" Lily asked from the front. "'bout half an hour." replied Niall. Next to Louis, Lottie turned towards me and gave me a cheeky grin. "So Claire, how did you have the misfortune to meet my brother?" She winked at Louis who tickled her a little bit and she squeaked and squirmed in her seat. "Stop it, Louis! I only asked her an innocent question! I didn't asked something like whether she wanted to have a June wedding or not."

I blushed at her words and Niall snickered in the driver's seat. Lily turned around and said "She has always wanted a summer wedding, so June sounds good, doesn't it, Claire?" I glared at her. "Traitor." I said in her direction and crossed my arms over my chest. I turned my head to look out of the window and jumped a little when I felt Louis' hand on my thigh. "Hey, don't pout, love." he said quietly in my ear. "They're just teasing you." I didn't turn my head, but the ends of my mouth twitched as I tried to suppress a smile. I felt Louis nudge me a little bit with his nose and heard a quiet "Awww" from Lily. I gave in and laid my head on his shoulder while we continued or journey to the Sheffield arena.
