Secrets (On hold)

Chapter Forty One

*Really short update, not much happens but I wanted to update today because i'll he busy tonight. Hopefully everyone has a good New Years!

*Lauren's POV*

"No I think she would like this one..." I groan as Louis drags me down yet another aisle in the store.

"I don't think she will care what flavor we get her Louis as long as it gets the job done." I tell him, following him to a rack of expensive looking alcohol.

Sounds like a dumb gift to buy someone for their birthday, but lets be honest, Serena will love it.

"Yeah but I feel like she's more of a fruity drinker than a vanilla you know?" Louis stares at the rack, twisting the bottles and reading the flavors.

I glance around the store to make sure no one is watching us. No one is, but it's a habit.

"Thank's for coming with Louis."

"I have to buy her a birthday present too Lauren, besides you need me to buy for you in America." Louis picks up a bottle of vodka and holds it up to me. "I'm thinking this one, now we need another."

"Only one from each of us?" I question him as we walk down another aisle.

"How many do you think she will want?" Louis raises an eyebrow at me, then adjusts his beanie on his head with one hand, pulling it down further over his forehead.

I tap my chin, she would want a lot. She has to be a borderline alcoholic.

"How about one for each year she has been alive?" I joke.

"Genius! Have I ever told you that you are a genius?" Louis grins and holds up his hand to give me a high five.

"Nope but I already know I'm a genius." I slap his hand and smirk.

"Nineteen bottles of straight up vodka, jesus." Louis laughs and shakes his head.

"Best gift she's ever gotten..." I tease and start walking towards the front of the liquor store to grab a cart.

"I'll say." Louis responds and follows me. "She is nineteen right?"

"Yep she's a baby." I run a hand through my messy blonde hair.

The carts at the store are tiny, there is no way can we fit nineteen bottles of alcohol in one cart, not even two.

"Niall likes 'em young." Louis says and I roll my eyes, then grab a cart and start back towards the aisle we were at before.

"So do I." I tease and Louis laughs.

"You got me there you cougar." He says and starts grabbing random bottles of alcohol off the shelves we walk past.

"Louis check the price before you put them in the cart you idiot." I say and stop pushing the cart, Louis bumping into me.

"You're kidding right? I got this Lauren." Louis scoffs at me and pushes my hands away from the cart and starts walking with it.

"What? No way." He isn't really insisitng to pay is he? "Louis that defeats the purpose, then it's not a gift from me."

"Well....." Louis starts, stopping the cart and gazing around the store. "Buy that for her and I'll consider us equal."

I look over to where he is pointing and see a gaudy, large wine glass. It's almost like a wine glass on steroids, and written across it is "Birthday Princess".

"That has to be without a doubt the tackiest thing I have ever seen."

"That's what makes it so perfect. Go grab it Laur." Louis bosses me and I stick my tongue out at him but walk over and grab the large wine glass from off the shelf then return back to Louis.
