My Hope (Louis Tomlinson FanFic) *Completed*

Chapter 27

*Kayla's POV*

"What are you doing?"

I looked up from my book, seeing Louis standing there with a stupid smile on his face. I raised an eyebrow and gestured towards my book. He rolled his eyes.

"Nerd." I swatted at his arm and he laughed, sitting on the couch next to me. "I don't even get it. I've fully read one book my entire life, and I hated it. How do you just sit there and...read? It's not human," he shuttered. I laughed and put my book down, marking it's page.

'What are we doing today?' I signed to him. He's been looking up more and more sign language and having me teach him since our date last week, and he has gotten a lot better. I just need to go slower than normal.

Well, I say normal, I never had anyone to sign to until now, but I can go pretty fast. Anyways, whatever.

"Traveling," he puffed, throwing his arm across my shoulders and turning on the TV to some show. I ignored it and went back to my book as the other boys all started waking up and coming into the living area.

Liam walked into the room, walking by us and kissing the top of my head with a small 'Morning, Kay.' Eventually all the boys had walked in and taken spots on the couches as Louis flipped through the TV.

"And now, our new top news story! Witnesses have recently spotted teen heartthrob Louis Tomlinson of One Direction out with a girl! Ou-"

I snapped my head up at the sound of Louis' name, seeing a lady with bright makeup standing in front of a screen with a picture of Louis and I walking into the restaurant from last week. The voice quickly was cut off as Louis changed the channel as soon as they started pulling up the other pictures. But I wanted to hear this.

I snatched the remote back from Louis, pressing the back button and popping up the right channel, making me smile in satisfaction. I held the remote away as Louis tried to grab it back.

"Kayla! You don't want to know what these people say!" Louis exclaimed, trying to reach across me and get the remote. I quickly stuffed it under myself and sat on it.

"We currently do not have a name to match with this very girl, but we do have some very interesting information on her! One of our anonymous tips has reported that they saw this girl using sign language! Yes, that's right, sign language. Now, they also told us that the girl seemed to easily respond to noises, and that it didn't seem she had any sort of hearing device, so we can be pretty sure that this girl is not deaf. That leads us to our only other conclusion we could come to, that this girl is mute!

"Now, I understand that this information is a lot to take in, seeing as the star hasn't been seen with any girls since formal girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, and himself were together. So that leads us to the question: Is our beloved Louis Tomlinson taken? Or is he still on the market? Let us know what you think on Instagram and Twitter."

I tore my gaze from the screen to look at all the boys, who were all looking directly back at me, gauging my expression and my reaction. I shrugged my shoulders, turning to sign to Louis.

'That wasn't too bad.'

He looked hesitant. "Are you sure, love? I mean, granted there have been worse things said about us, but like, are you okay?" he asked. I nodded my head and smiled at him.

'I don't think that they got to much about me. I mean, they don't know my name. It's okay.'

"Okay...tell me if this is bothering you, okay? We can take care of it." I nodded in response. A thought came to mind and he must have noticed my expression. "What's wrong?"

I hesitated before asking him the question that popped to mind. 'What are we?'

He looked confused. "Human?" I rolled my eyes. All the boys looked confused, not being able to read my hands.

'Us. Like, what are we? Together?'

Realization struck him and his face showed it. He nodded in his head as he seemed to be thinking my question through. He soon nodded again, getting down on the floor in front of me, clasping my hand in both of his.

"Will you, Kayla Lotson, be my girlfriend?"

I looked at him and slowly nodded, making him smile a bit. He sat beside me again, leaning over to peck my lips. The rest of the boys slowly started clapping.

"T-That was b-beautiful!" Harry fake sobbed. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him.

Zayn shrugged. "I'm still confused as to what just happened."
