Learning To Love Him (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter One

"What do you mean you can't make it to tonights party?" My beloved best friend, Celia, asked. I sighed once more as we walked through the streets of Doncaster.

"I've told you, my parents invited some close family friends." I explained. She was frustrated and I'm finding it entertaining.

Celia isn't the one to take 'no' for an answer. She normaly gets way. "Lucy, the Archer family throws the best parties and those parties don't happen very often!"

I just ingored that last statement and entered my home. It's a nice house for a family of seven. I dropped my bag on the sofa then joined my mum who was in the kitchen preparing dinner and Celia did the same. Seeing her was like looking at the older version of myself. My mum is a blond and my dad is a brunette. I had inherited my mum's facial features and dad's hair.

"What are you making for dinner?" I asked. She finished chopping the tomatos before answering me.

"You'll see in a moment. For now, you should wash up." I just agreed then dragged Celia with me. Once I reached my room, the first thing Celia does is jumps onto my bed. My room is just the right size for me. I had freedom to do what I wanted with the walls and now they're covered with pictures of memories that I won't forget and posters of my favourite artists.

"Can I at least pick the dress you should wear?" Celia asked. I nodded and head into the bathroom attached to my room. After I washed up, I see that Celia had chosen a short black dress covered with laces. Simple. Celia is a genius.

"You are a genius, Celia." I told her and she flipped her medium length wavy blond hair.

"I know I am." I chuckled at her choice of words. She pulled me to my make up table and did her job. After she was done with my make up, I opened my eyes to see that she used minimal amount of make up. Celia and I hung out for awhile before she decided to go get ready for the Archers' party.

I dedicated to go downstairs, only to see that the guests have arrived. My parents smiled then introduced me to our guests.

"Lucy, meet Jay and Mark Tomlinson and their son, Louis." My father introduced. I smiled politely and shook their hands. They seem nice from what I see. Louis in particular is a pretty good looking guy in my opinion.

"Oh darling, you've grown to be a beautiful young woman. The last time I saw you was when you were a small child." Jay commented. I thanked her the we all moved to the dinning room. The dinning room was nicely set up with plenty of food on the table. Turns out we are having chicken casserole. The parents made sure that Louis and I were sitting facing one another which made me worry.

After some catching up from both families my mum looks at me. "Lucy, our family and the Tomlinson family have been friends for more than four generations. My generation decided that the next generation, which is you and Louis, to bring the families together so we'll be one big family . In conclusion, we've decided that your generation to marry one another. Lucy, meet your fiancé."

I was in a state of total shock. I'm getting married to a stranger? Not what I had for my future. Without questioning anything, I got up and ran away to clear my head. To tie family bonds, I have to marry someone who I just found about their existence? I ran to park with a lake. It wasn't a huge park and it was hardly crowded. It was more of an abandoned place but it has a nice feel.

"I wouldn't blame it entirely it on you parents." I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Louis. "Their parents were pressuring them to make their kids marry on another."

"How long have you knew about this?" I asked. No, I'm not crying, just very taken back by this situation.

"Since I was eighteen. Both the parents signed a contract as well as grandparents." He told me, which made me even more shock. "Don't worry love, we'll work it out. I promise." He gave me a hug then we just sat there for about half an hour.

Once we got back, our parents we're probably in their rooms. Louis' parents were staying in the guest room and Louis was staying in my room on a foldable bed. We got to know each other for a bit before I became sleepy. Soon I fell as sleep.

A/N: A story right before the year ends. I promise that there will be more exciting stuff in future chapters. :3 Enjoy.
