Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Danny And Sandy Or How I Embarrassed Claire

Hi everyone, I really need a life, hahahaha. I feel loads better and will definitely go back to uni next week so there definitely won't be s many updates next week, as the last few days. I hope you enjoy another peak into Louis' head, I felt like that was necessary after the last chapter. All the love, Summer xxx

Louis POV:

I was standing in front of the mirror in the ensuite bathroom of my bedroom and was painfully aware that my girlfriend was taking a shower and getting ready in the other bathroom opposite the hallway. It was the night of Ed's belated birthday party and we were both separately getting ready for the party. We had collectively decided that we would go as Danny and Sandy from Grease and I was now trying to style my hair into the quiff Danny had in the film. I was weirdly reminded of being back in high school again, getting ready for the school production and I suddenly felt really old. 

The thought of the tight trousers that Claire was gonna wear made me want to step right back into the shower, but there wasn't enough time for that, so I just readjusted myself and hoped for the best. I hadn't slept with anyone since I had met Claire and sometimes it had been very hard for me with women literally throwing themselves at me, but I had too much respect for Claire right from the very start and now that we were dating there was no way I would cheat on her. For some reason, we had always been interrupted so far and I also had the feeling that she wasn't ready yet. I wasn't sure if she had had any bad experiences, but I wanted to show her that I loved and respected her and I also wanted to earn her trust, so I waited. 

Finally satisfied with my hair, I shrugged on the black leather jacket and sprayed some cologne on myself and then stepped out into my bed room where I checked whether the window was properly closed. The last thing I needed was someone breaking into my house. It was highly unlikely that someone would actually get that far with all the heightened security and the normal looking front of the house, but our fans were excellent detectives and I would not make the mistake of underestimating them ever again.

I gently knocked on Claire's door and got a "One Second!" as a reply, so I resisted the urge to step into the room and waited in the hallway. Looking down at my watch, I saw that we only had five minutes left before we had to leave. The door swung open and my jaw dropped. In the door stood the most attractive and at the same time beautiful female human being I had ever laid eyes on. I openly gaped at her and let my eyes roam up and down my body, before I met her eyes and gulped a bit. My trousers were suddenly uncomfortably tight and I found it very hard to breathe normally. 

"Claire?" I somehow managed to ask and she winked at me. "Tell me about it, stud." she quoted the movie and did a little spin. The skin tight, black high waisted leggins she was wearing hugged her curves at all the right places and all I wanted to do was to drag her into the bedroom and never make her leave. Apparently, she was feeling quite bolt herself because she playfully run her hand up my chest, sending shivers down my spine. I cleared my throat and gently pushed her hand off my chest. "We should really get going now, otherwise I can guarantee for nothing. We might not even make it to the top of the stairs." I smirked at her and was satisfied to see the hint of a blush. She held up a finger and turned around to get her leather jacket from the bed, giving me an excellent view on her bum.

"Eyes up, Tomlinson!" she called from the bed and threw one last look into the mirror before she turned around and smirked at me. "You can't exactly blame me when you are wearing something like that." I helplessly gestured to her outfit and she giggled and took my hand, pulling me down the stairs. I quietly admired how she could somehow easily walk on those heels and threw one last look in the mirror before I pulled out my phone. "We need to take a photo of this." I told her and she nodded and tried to fix her still flawless hair. "You look beautiful, love, nothing to fix." I told her, making her blush, and I grinned down at her, enjoying the effect I seemed to have on her as well. I pulled her close to me and held up the phone, taking a couple of funny selfies of us. 

Laughing, we stumbled out of the door and I opened the car door for her and helped her in, before climbing into the driver's seat. "Won't you drink though?" she asked concerned and I chuckled and nodded. "Aye, I will, but I will just pay one of my regular drivers a taxi ride to Ed's house and then he can drive us home and I'll also pay for his ride back home, as well." I explained to her and she nodded and relaxed. Her right leg was nervously bouncing up and down and I gently placed my hand on her thigh when we stopped at a traffic light. "Hey, no need to be nervous, love. I'll be there with you and Harry will be there and Niall and Lily as well. And probably some other people you have met at least once, as well." She hummed in response, but didn't seem any more relaxed. I reached over and loosely intertwined our fingers, giving her hand a light squeeze, before I had to let go to change the gear.

When we pulled up in front of Ed's house, the party was already in full swing and loud music could be heard outside from within the car. I silently apologised to the neighbours, but knowing Ed he had probably either invited them as well, or at least given them some expensive wine or champagne as an apology, or payed for a hotel room or something like that. I stopped the car and quickly jumped out to help Claire out of the car. 

Two long legs appeared in the car door and a man who was walking passed the house openly gaped at her when she climbed out, until he noticed my glare and quickly whipped his head around. She started walking towards the front door, but I stopped her and pulled her close to me. Two incredibly green eyes were looking up at me and all I wanted to do in this moment was kiss her insanely red lips, but that had to wait for later. "Hey, will you be okay?" I asked her and gently stroked her cheek with one finger. She gulped, but then nodded and forced a smile on her face. "I will be fine. I have you at my side and the others." I pressed a light kiss to her forehead and then intertwined our fingers, guiding her to Ed's front door.

We rang the door bell and only had to wait a couple of seconds until Ed, dressed as a pirate, opened the door for us. "Hi, good to see you, mate." He pulled me into a one armed hug and his jaw dropped when his gaze fell on Claire. "Claire, wow, you look fantastic!" She blushed deeply and I chuckled and lightly stroked the back of her hand, trying to calm her down. "Thanks, Ed. Happy belated birthday!" She handed him an envelope and he beamed at her and pulled her into a short hug. "You didn't have to bring me anything, love." Her blush deepened and she gave my hand a tight squeeze, which I returned. "I have her reaction to when she read your text recorded on my phone." I told Ed, as we stepped inside into the warmth of his house. Claire glared at me and silently tried to tell me to shut up, but I was having way too much fun with this. "Really? I'll have to see that later. Let's get you something to drink!"

He took my arm and pulled us through the crowd into the kitchen where he had an impressive collection of bottles with a huge variety of liquor spread out around the kitchen. "Help yourselves to anything you want." he told us before he disappeared back into the crowded living room. "What would you like to drink, love?" I asked her as she looked around the kitchen and admired the design. "Um, anything that's not too bitter and gets me very drunk very fast. I need something strong if I have to talk to people tonight." she added quietly and I mixed her a drink before making myself something, as well. 

With a grateful smile, she took the drink from my hands, and then let me guide her into the living room, my hand securely based on her lower back. I nearly immediately spotted Harry who was having a deep conversation with someone I didn't know and I could tell the exact moment when he spotted us, or should I say the exact moment when he spotted Claire. His whole face light up and his eyes widened in shock when he took in her appearance. Our eyes met and he gave me an approving nod, before giving Claire a smile and turning back to his conversation. I took a big sip of my drink and gently pushed her further into the room. It was gonna be a long night.
