Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Surprise Visitors Or How Niall And Lily Finally Went On A Date

Hi everyone, another chapter already, I hope you enjoy it! :) All the love, Summer xxx (this one of my favourite photos of Louis btw)

The next day we slept in and left the hotel around eleven o'clock. Harry insisted on driving back, so in return I insisted on paying for the sandwiches and the drinks we bought for the drive. We had a short discussion, but in the end he gave in and I did a victory dance which he watched in amusement. I had thought it would be awkward after our cuddling session last night, but it had only made me appreciate Harry more as the amazing friend he was to me. Our talk last night had definitely brought us closer together and I knew that I could call him any time to talk about my dad without being pitied or judged for it.

"So, are you looking forward to finally releasing the album?" I broke the silence. Harry grinned. "Are we doing an interview now, love?" he asked me with a smirk and I rolled my eyes. "No, we're not. I'm just curious." I defended myself. "Sure you are." Harry teased and I hit his arm. "Oi, I'm driving!" he protested. Now it was my turn to smirk. "So, are you going to answer my question?" I asked him again and he nodded.

"I'm really looking forward to next Friday for sure. It's always great to see the reaction of the fans. But on the other hand you put something really personal out there for everyone to hear and to judge and that's still a bit scary, you know? And the album promo will be very exhausting, but it's the last one for at least a year and we're all incredibly proud of this album so I'm also kind of looking forward to promoting it. It's just annoying that the interviewers seem to enjoy picking on me. Like, I'm always the womanizer of the group but I can't say anything about it because that would be rude. But it sure gets annoying when you get asked the same questions over and over again." he told me and gave me a weak smile.

I nodded. "I totally get that. Trust me we've all noticed that. I can sometimes predict your answers before you even open your mouth." Harry grinned. "Is that so? Well then I'll have to give a surprise answer in an interview at some point." I gave him a challenging look. "You try that and we'll see how surprised I'll be." Harry shifted his focus back onto the road and I quickly texted my parents and thanked them for being so nice and welcoming towards Harry and that it had been amazing to see them again.

"So, Claire, tell me." Harry began and smirked at me. "Are YOU looking forward to listening to One Direction's new album Made In The AM for the first time on Friday?" I pretended to have to think about it and stroked my non-existent beard. "Well you see, they are kind of my favourite band out there and the last two albums were amazing, so I have to say I'm very much looking forward to finally listening to the new songs yes. Plus, they all seem to be very nice and talented lads so I wish them all the best for the new album and a very relaxing break as well." I said with a wide fake smile and batted my eyelashes at Harry who chuckled.

"You are such a weirdo, Claire." he told me and I gasped. "A weirdo? Me?" Next to me Harry shook his head at my childish behaviour. "As if you are perfectly normal." I said to him. Harry looked over to me. "Me? I'm perfectly normal, thank you very much." I giggled. "Sure, Styles, whatever helps you sleep at night." He smiled a bit. "You are quite sassy, love. Louis and you would make a great couple." I blushed a bit and Harry gave me a look. "Did something happen between the two of you?" he asked me with a smirk and wiggled his eyebrows at me. "Like when he was definitely in your bathroom when I said goodbye last weekend?" I blushed even more. "Not what you think! We just kissed. And he might have asked me out." I added more quietly.

There was something in Harry's eyes that I couldn't quite name, but then he smiled at me and this time it was a real smile. "I'm happy for you two. You deserve the best and Louis is definitely a great guy. And Louis deserves someone amazing like you as well." I smiled back and gave his leg a light squeeze. "Thanks, Harry. That really means a lot to me." We shared a moment and then he gave me a cheeky grin. "Of course my offer to marry you still stands, just in case you and Louis shouldn't work out." he offered and I stuck out my tongue at him. "I'll keep that in mind."

The rest of the drive we spent singing along to the radio and playing word games which Harry always seemed to win. When we arrived at my flat we were both a bit sad that the ride was over. It was mid-afternoon now and already getting a bit dark. Harry carried my bag up to Lily's and my flat. I unlocked the door and he dropped the bag in the hallway and then turned around to face me.

"I had a great time this weekend." he told me and I smiled up at him. "I had a very good time, as well." I admitted and his dimples appeared. He pulled me into a long hug and then let go of me and walked back outside into the hall. "Again thank you for doing this for me." I thanked again. "Like I said, it was a pleasure to be your wedding date, love. We'll probably see each other again sometime soon." he told me and I nodded. There was an awkward silence. Harry waved a bit and then turned around to walk back to his car. "Bye Harry!" I shouted behind him and he turned his head and smiled. "Goodbye, Claire." I grinned and closed the door behind him.

When I entered the kitchen I saw a piece of paper with Lily's handwriting on the kitchen table and I curiously leaned forward to read it.

"Hi bestie,

Niall called me this morning and asked me if I was free for our date this afternoon. As if I will ever be ready for this, but never mind, and he picked me up around three. I have no clue what we'll be doing because he wanted it to stay a surprise, so I have no idea when I'll be back. I hope you had a fantastic weekend with Harry and your family (how is your dad doing btw?) and I can't wait to hear all about the wedding either when I'm back tonight or tomorrow.

Love you loads,

Lily xxx"

I smiled at her letter. I was happy for her that she was finally on a date with Niall and now I couldn't wait to see Louis again. I sent him a quick text telling him that I had arrived home safely and then unpacked my small bag. After about ten minutes my door bell rung. Curiously, I walked down the hallway and opened the door only to see a widely grinning Louis standing outside. I dropped the pair of socks I had been holding and jumped into his arms. He caught me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Hey, love." I pulled away a bit and grinned up at him. "Hi Lou." We smiled at each other and then he leaned in to kiss me and I kissed him back eagerly. I had only kissed him twice, but my body had been craving him since I had left him in the car park in Doncaster. A bit out of breath, we pulled away and he put me down again. "What are you doing here? How is Phoebe doing?" I asked him and he intertwined our fingers and, after closing the door behind him, pulled me into my living room. While he took off his shoes and got comfortable on the sofa with me he told me all about Phoebe and the time with his family while I was cuddled into his side.

"I'm glad she's already doing so much better." I told him and smiled up at him. "However I still have one more question." I said and Louis raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here right now?" I asked him and he blushed a bit. "I missed you. And when you sent that text I couldn't help myself and quickly jumped into the car to come over." he admitted. A wide smile spread across my face and I sat up a bit and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I missed you, too." I told him and he smiled down at me and gave me a short, but very sweet kiss.

We cuddled and talked for another two hours until my stomach growled loudly and Louis smirked down at me. "I think you need something to eat, love." I nodded and blushed a bit. "I think so, too." We made our way over to the kitchen and quickly decided to make ourselves some pasta. While Louis prepared the pasta, I cooked us a delicious tomato sauce. We then took our bowls back to the living room where we watched some TV and cuddled a bit more.

Around eight, I heard Lily's keys in the lock and a few seconds later she entered the flat. "Hi, whose car is that in front of our house? Is someone-" she interrupted herself and smirked at us. "Oh, hi, Louis. Good to see you." Louis grinned up at her. "Good to see you, too, Lily. Has Nialler left you already?" She blushed and shook her head. "No, you just blocked the only parking space in front of our flat so he's out there looking for another one." Louis shrugged. "My apologies." He didn't seem to be too sorry though and only pulled me a bit closer and continued watching TV.

Lily gave me a look which clearly said we'd talk about this later and then disappeared into her room where she and Niall disappeared to as soon as he had walked through the door. "Use protection!" Louis shouted from the living room and I giggled. "Kids these days." he said and shook his head. We turned the volume of the TV a bit up and spent the rest of the night watching TV with a few shared kisses, now and then.
