Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Little Black Dress Or It's Time To Get Up

Hi everyone, another short chapter for tonight. :) I hope you like it! All the love, Summer xxx

I was woken up by alarm clock at eight o'clock on Sunday morning and hastily turned it off to avoid waking up Lily. It was her twenty-third birthday and I wanted to make her breakfast and have a nice brunch before Niall would pick her up for the day. The two of us had secretly planned a little get together with all of her closest friends and she didn't have a clue what was gonna hit her. As silently as possible, I made my way into the kitchen and prepared a big breakfast with pancakes, some bacon for her, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, fruits and yogurt among many other things. Usually, the food probably would have been enough to feed a whole football team, but the two of us were both food lovers and I was sure that Niall would happily help us out if we had leftovers.

Around nine am, I gently knocked on her door, didn't get a reply. I creeped up to her bed and turned the volume on my phone up to 100% before I pressed play. One Direction's "It's time to get up!" song blared loudly through her bedroom making her grown and pull her blanket over her head. After another couple of seconds, she poked her head out of her sheets and glared at me. An evil smirk appeared on my face before I clicked on the next song. 'Stole My Heart', the only One Direction song that Lily absolutely hated, started playing and she groaned and went back into hiding. Laughing, I turned the volume down and got comfortable next to her on the bed. 

"Happy birthday, my friend." I poked her side and she squeaked and moved a bit further to the left. "I made breakfast." I tried it again and after some shuffling her head poked out of her blanket again. "Breakfast?" Her whole face lit up and I chuckled. "Yes, I made pancakes and bacon and hot chocolate..." But after the word 'bacon' she was already halfway out of the door. Laughing, I followed her and found her sitting at the kitchen table with a wide smile on her face. "I love you so much for this." she told me and looked down at her bacon with a fond smile on her face. "Food is definitely the way to a girls' heart." I nodded in agreement and piled three pancakes onto my plate and added some fruit. "Niall should probably step up his game." I joked and she laughed. "Niall who?" 

The next hour and a half, we just sat in our cozy kitchen, chatting about everything that came to our minds, while stuffing our faces with as much food as we could possibly eat. At eleven o'clock, the doorbell rung and Lily literally bounced to the door, completely ignoring the fact that she was only in her pyjamas, leaving me alone in the kitchen. A minute later, Lily returned to the kitchen, this time accompanied by Niall who gave me a quick hug before he sat down at our table. His eyes lit up when he took in the food that was still left on the table. With a welcoming gesture, I invited him to help himself and he gave me a look of pure joy and happiness before he dug in. "I'll go and take a shower really quickly, alright, honey?" Lily asked and ruffled Niall's hair who was too engaged with eating to protest. He just nodded and she pecked my cheek, before she disappeared into the bathroom.

When Niall had finished off the majority of the food, the two of us put the rest back into the fridge and then moved to the living room where we spread out over the two sofas. "Where are you taking her today?" I asked him curiously. With a wide smile he got a bit more comfortable on the sofa before he replied. "We are driving down to the beach for today and will be back by eight o'clock tonight. Nothing too exciting just some long walks along the beach, some fun, a nice lunch and hopefully some privacy." he explained and my heart warmed for my Irish friend on the sofa next to me. "That sounds fantastic, Niall, she's gonna love it." He beamed at me and then looked up when we heard the bathroom door open.

 "We're in the living room, love!" he called out and Lily, now freshly showered and fully dressed, appeared in the living room door. He jumped to his feet and walked over to her. "You look beautiful." he complimented her and she blushed and giggled like a teenager. They kissed, but stopped really quickly when I started making gagging noises in the background. When they both turned around to look at me, I innocently inspected my nails and gave then a charming smile which made them laugh. "Come on, let's leave our future politician to her studies and go on an adventure!" Niall exclaimed and grabbed her hand, pulling her into the hallway. After a couple of "goodbye!"s and "see you later!"s, the front door closed behind them and I was alone.

For the next couple of hours, I went back into my room and worked on my dissertation, before I took a long shower. I didn't bother to put anything but my underwear back on after stepping out of the shower, as I would be alone for another two hours and decided to start the party preparations. I put One Direction on shuffle and started cleaning and tidying our flat, while singing and dancing along, occasionally sipping on some wine I had had left in our cupboard. During 'Little Black Dress', I went into full dance mode and danced around the living room with no care in the world, moving up and down the pole of the mop. "That was kind of what I had in mind when we wrote the song." Louis' voice interrupted me and I stopped dead in my tracks, completely in shock. 

Slowly, I looked up towards the living room door. Louis was casually leaning against the door frame, his eyes hungrily taking in my appearance and I secretly cursed Lily for giving him a key. As gracefully as possible, I pulled myself up and tried to hide my burning cheeks with my curls. "Um, hi?" I greeted him and send him a tentative smile. He took a big step into the room, his whole composure the one of a predator, and slowly walked over to me. "Do you do that on a regular basis?" he asked in a slightly amused tone, but his eyes were still a shade darker than usual and wandered up and down my half-naked body. "Um, dance around the flat half-naked? No, only when I know that I am alone. I wasn't, um, expecting anyone." I blushed even deeper and took a step backwards, leaning the mop against the bookshelf. Louis started to follow me, but then slipped on the freshly mopped floor. 

Next thing I knew was that we were both lying on the floor, Louis underneath me with both of his hands firmly on my hips. After a moment of shock, his face split into a grin and he gently stroked the exposed skin right above my panties, making me shiver. "Lou, I have to clean..." I started off weakly, but he shut me up with his lips and suddenly cleaning our flat was at the very back off my mind. 

Half an hour later the flat wasn't any cleaner, but I was lying on the sofa with Louis who was now shirtless and listened to his steady heartbeat, while he gently run his fingers through my hair. One Direction was still playing in the background, making the situation feel like some bad fanfiction. When I shared my thoughts with Louis he smirked down at me and pecked my nose. "I hope this is a lot better than a bloody fanfiction, love." My cheeks blushed and I nodded, but felt the need to defend the other wonderful people I had met online. "Some of them are amazing stories, though, you can't criticise them all." I defended my fellow fans.

With a chuckle, he pulled me closer to him and rested his chin on the top of my head. "I'm sure there is some good artwork out there, but it will never be not weird for me to read stories about myself." I giggled and snuggled into him. "I think I should get dressed and finish cleaning for the party." I admitted with a pout and his grip around me tightened. "But what is the fun in that?" he whined into my ear. "Well if you want everyone to see me in my underwear and no alcohol or food tonight, be my guest." I commented dryly and he grudgingly released me and then finished cleaning for me while I got ready for the party. 

When I was admiring my appearance in front of the mirror, two strong arms sneaked around my waist. "Dresses like that shouldn't be allowed for beautiful girls like you." he commented, his voice suddenly an octave lower than usual. With a last brush, I finished off my makeup and threw a glance at my alarm clock. "Well we still have ten minutes until Niall and Lily should be back and the guests start arriving..." I informed him in a suggestive tone and turned around in his embrace. Louis smirked down at me and gently brushed a couple of loose strands out of my face. "I like the way you're thinking, love..." Let's just say that we had both never been less happy to see Lily and Niall.
