Right Now

Chapter 42

Lauren POV

I was currently at Tyler's dorm, chilling on his bed while he took a shower. It was kinda funny to hear him singing at the top of his lungs while the shower murmurred below him. I stood up, looking around his room, at pictures of him, his parents and his friends. He was very photogenic.

"Hello?" Tyler was talking on the phone now and his shower had stopped. He was still in the bathroom.

"Hey, Mom! How's it going?....Ya I'm fine. It's nice to hear your voice, Mom....Oh yeah, school's going great. I absolutely love it!....I know Mom I can't believe I got the part, too!...Yeah! What a great oppertunity, right?..."

His mom asked him a question that caused him to stutter.

"O-oh Lauren? Yeah she's.....she's amazing, Mom. She's beautiful, funny, a great actress and unbelievably fantastic at dancing. I am so excited to work with her....n-no, Mom, I haven't asked her yet....ugh, Mom, I'm not a wimp, I just want to find the perfect moment to ask her to be my girlfriend!" I let out an almost inaudible gasp.

Finally, he wanted me to be his girlfriend! I mean, I had liked him since that first day of Music Theory.

"Alright, Mom, I'm gonna let you go. Love you too. Bye." I could hear him exiting the bathroom, so I jumped back onto his bed in an attempt to look natural.

"Hey I-" He was only in a towel. I couldn't take it any longer.

"Yes!" I screamed at him.

He furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips in confusion.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend, dummy." I stood up and made my way over to him.

"Really?" His eyes brightened and he smiled cutely.

"Yes, really." I planted a kiss on his lips softly.

Ugh, finally. His lips were somewhat harsh but soft and lean. Definitely a great kisser. His hand found the small of my back.

A few seconds later, he pulled away.

"As much as I want to continue, and believe me, I do, I need to get dressed so I can take my girlfriend to dinner."

I played dumb, "Oh, so you have a girlfriend."

"Yeah, and shes gorgeous."

Louis POV

I was sat in a random mall in Chicago, about to do a CD signing for about 300 people for our album Take Me Home. It seems like just yesterday we were signing Up All Night CD's in Belly's hometown.

I had made it through about 150 so far, and frankly, my hand was cramping.

A girl, maybe 11 or so came up to me next.

"Hello, love, what's your name?"

She was very confident in saying her name.

"I'm Faith. Hi, Louis!"

"Well, hello there, Faith." I chuckled while signing her CD.

"You look different then the last time I saw you." No wonder she was so confident, she has met me before! I feel bad for not remembering her, but it is hard to keep track of the 1,000,000,000 people I meet per day.

Her question still intrigued me.

"Why would you say that?" I rested my head on my hand.

"You look...happy. Almost like you are in love."

She was definitely very wise for her age, that was for sure.

"Uh, well, you could say that."

She stared up at me with big eyes.
