I Love You - Edited Version

1. "Guys, stop with the PDA."

Ariana's POV

"Ari!" I heard my brother, Harry, shout from downstairs. Harry was my older brother, and he was also known as the youngest member, or the baby as I like to say, of One Direction.

"I'm coming!" I shouted back as I put on my favourite pair of heels. I was wearing a blue sundress and blue heels, and my red hair was neatly pinned to the back, letting it flow down my back.

I walked downstairs and saw Harry sitting at the table, the biggest grin plastered on his face.

"What's with the smile, Haz?" I ask, sitting down next to him.

"Well... I figured you want to come with me and see the rest of One Direction." he smiled before quickly adding, "Of course, only if you want to."

Does he even need to ask?

"Yes! Oh my god, yes!" I practically shout, attacking my brother in a hug. This was a dream come true, and he knew it.

"Great, then lets go because they're waiting for us in Starbucks," He stood up and took his house keys, opening the door and waiting for me.

I leaped out of my chair and practically sprinted down the road towards Starbucks. Of course not before saying bye to my mum. It's a good thing we live 5 minutes away.

When we got there, I saw 4 boys sitting at a table towards the back. Wait... is that a girl next to Louis?!

If you didn't already know, I had the biggest crush on Louis ever since I heard about them from Harry and saw his X Factor audition. That boy was the guy of my dreams, let me tell you.

Me and Harry walked in, and walked towards the booth they were all sat at. My eyes were glued to the girl sitting next to Louis; she had brown eyes and beautiful, brown curls falling over her shoulders. Damn, she was beautiful without even trying.

"Hey, guys. This is my sister, Ariana. Ari, this is Zayn, Louis, his girlfriend Eleanor, Liam and last but not least, Niall," He smiled and sat down next to Niall.

I shyly smiled and sat next to Zayn, whispering a small "hello," and blushed. I was nervous and very shy when it came to meeting new people.

"Hi, Ari," they said all together, waving. I forced myself to look at the others and not just at my sundress that I was playing with without even realising. Yeah, that's how nervous I was.

I looked at Eleanor. She was looking at Louis as if he was the sun orbiting around her. She had a bright smile on her face and her eyes were closed while she was wrinkling her nose, laughing at something Louis said. Her hand went up to her lips and she covered them, and I'm not gonna lie, she looked cute.

Louis was looking at her as if she was his everything. He smiled and leaned in, whispering something into her ear. She smiled and covered her face into his neck while his arms went around her.

I wish I was the one he would look at like that; as if I was his whole world, his everything.

My smile transformed into a frown as I saw them kiss.

"Guys, stop with the PDA," Zayn whined. "It's annoying."

I silently thanked him and smiled at him.

Can we go home?

"So, I was thinking we can show Ari our flat?" Harry asked, looking at me thoughtfully. I grinned at him.

"That would be a great idea. Louis can give us a lift," Niall said before turning to me. "So Ari, what is your dream? Like what would you like to do?"

"Hm, I never really though about it but I would like to be a dancer," I smiled, "or a singer. Depending which career would suit me most, but I also love fashion, so maybe a model," I answer him before looking at Louis. He was looking at Eleanor with a smile playing on his lips. Dammit. So much for trying to catch his attention.

Eleanor looked up at me, and smiled.

I don't like that smile...

"So what do you say, Ari?" Zayn asked, standing up.

"Sure. Let's go," I stand up along with everyone else and head for the exit.

The car ride to the One Direction flat was funny. Louis was complaining that he couldn't speed down the road due to a police car being in front of us and Niall kept saying he needs some food in his stomach. I laughed because Niall can honestly eat so much; how is he so skinny?

When we got to the flat, Eleanor just said goodbye, kissed Louis – of course not before looking at me and sending me a smirk as if to say 'fuck off he's mine' – and left to go to her house. God, I hate her. I bet you she's not even a loyal girlfriend, she looks like she has some serious relationships with many guys... Ugh.*

"Do you want a tour, Ariana?" I heard someone ask. I turn around to see Liam.

"Sure. That would be great," I smile at him and turn around to find Harry but Liam just took my hand and dragged me towards Louis. Oh god.

"Hey, Louis! Would you mind giving Harry's little sister a tour of our flat while we go and pick a movie?" he asks as soon as we get to him. Louis just looked at me and smiled, before nodding. Oh my god, his smile is everything.

I quickly turn around but Liam was already going with the rest of the group. As if he felt my eyes on him, he turned around and winked.

Does everyone all of a sudden know I like Louis!?

Every single time, Louis' hand would gently brush against mine as we walked. God dammit, he's making it impossible not to smile and blush.

He looked at me knowingly and smiled, showing his beautiful teeth and those little crinkles near his eyes. Man, those little things are driving me crazy.

I just wish that Eleanor wasn't in the picture. Maybe things would have been easier.

—————————

* : I by no means hate Eleanor. I believe she's really nice, she's a true role model, so please don't hate. I know different people have different opinions.

Anyways, this is the very first chapter of the rewritten book I Love You. There's a huge difference and twice as much more word count aha. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do because I have to admit, I'm actually really proud of how this is turning out so far.
