Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Surprise Date Or How Louis Likes Katy Perry

Hi everyone, I hope you like the chapter. :) All the love, Summer xxxx

Louis picked me up at three o'clock and greeted me with a kiss and a wide smile. "Hey, love!" I smiled back up at him. "Hi, Lou." We just looked at each other for a couple of seconds, completely lost in our own little world until Lily cleared her throat behind me. Louis' eyes left mine and he gave Lily a smile and waved at her. "Hi, Lily." She chuckled and shook her head at us. "Bring her back in one piece, Tomlinson!" she warned him before she vanished into the kitchen. "I'll try my best!" he shouted towards the kitchen door, before he pulled me outside and shut the front door behind us.

"Sooo... where are you taking me?" I asked him excitedly, but he only smirked and only opened the car door for me with a little bow. "Come on, don't make it another surprise!" I whined and pouted when he still didn't say anything. After gently closing the car door, he strolled around the front of the car, looking like some model and then proceeded to climb into the driver's seat on my right. "I love how much you hate surprises." He grinned at me and I stuck out my tongue at him. "Very mature, love. And we could put that tongue of yours to better use, you know?" He winked at me, making me blush deeply, my tongue securely back in my mouth. "I bet you do." I grumbled and I heard him chuckle. "Don't worry, I'll show you soon enough love."

Very well aware of the double meaning of his sentence, I decided to turn the radio on instead, but my hand was stopped by Louis. "Oi, what did you do that for?" I asked him and tried to reach the power button for the radio again, but he covered it with his left one while he drove. "Keep your hands on the wheel, mister!" I scolded him and he quickly put his hand back onto the gear shift when we stopped at a traffic light. "

"So, any specific reason you won't let me listen to your radio?" I asked him in a teasing tone and poked his side a bit, making him squirm in his seat. "Nope." He kept his eyes focused on the road until I poked him again, making the car sway a bit. "Jesus Christ, Claire, I'm driving!" He shot me a look, but I just innocently smiled at him and batted my eyelashes. When he turned around the next corner, I used my chance and launched forward, managing to press the power button before Louis could stop me. Katy Perry's '' started blaring through the speakers and I chuckled, before I realised that the radio wasn't on. "You like Katy Perry, Lou?" I teased him and saw his cheeks turning a little bit red. "No comment." was his only reply and I laughed and pinched his cheek. "I think it's cute." He swatted my hand away and continued to drive towards our unknown destination, his eyes firmly on the road.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about, Lou. I don't think it's unfair to judge anyone by what kind of music they like as long as it makes them happy and doesn't harm anyone in the process." That made him look up and he gave me a small smile before he turned into a driveway which was leading up to the car park next to a very familiar building. "You brought me to see a musical?" I squealed excitedly and he laughed and grinned at my childish excitement. Mildly embarrassed, I looked down at my lab, until we stopped and Louis turned the engine off. "Hey, no need to be embarrassed, love. I am happy you like my surprise." I hesitantly looked over to him and saw him watching me with a fond smile on his face.

"Come on, otherwise we'll miss the show." He climbed out of the car and before I could even open my door, he was already on my side and helped me out of the car. "Shit, I'm so excited. What are we watching?" I asked him and literally bounced up and down, making him chuckle. "I got us two front row tickets for 'The Lion King'." he told me with a smirk, watching me with a smirk. It took a few seconds for the new to sink in, then my eyes widened and I wrapped my arms around Louis. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's my favourite musical!" I admitted into his chest and I felt him vibrate underneath me, as he laughed at my excitement. "You're cute when you're so excited." I pulled away and blushed deeply, making him chuckle. He gently brushed his thumb over my cheek. "Ready to go in?" I nodded and he intertwined our fingers, letting me drag him towards the lift which would take us up to the theatre.

When we arrived in the entrance hall, a few heads turned when people recognised Louis, but luckily no one approached us. Louis hadn't let go off my hand and had a tight grip on my hand the entire time until we had found our seats. "We are so close to the stage." I said in awe and cranked my neck to look around the theatre, while Louis was watching me with an amused look on his face. "Have you ever seen a musical live?" he asked me, making me snap out of my excitement. "No, unfortunately we could never afford going." I admitted and blushed a bit, suddenly finding my hands very interesting.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. I never imagined living the life I am right now. I never would have been able to afford this if the band hadn't taken off like that." he told me quietly and I instantly felt a little bit better. "We've been quite tight on money, especially during the last few years when my dad had to stop working and my mum could only take up a part time job because she was looking after him." I admitted quietly. Tears were threatening to spill over and I hastily blinked them away, taking a deep breath to calm myself down again. Louis squeezed my thigh and then intertwined our fingers again.

Suddenly, the lights went out and a quiet squeal of excitement escaped my lips making Louis chuckle next to me. "Shush, I don't want to miss a second of this!" I whispered at him and we both leaned back and enjoyed what very well might have been the of the best two hours of my life.
