Louis

We continued to chat with Kaitlyn and Rae for a bit until a car came to pick us up.  We gave them both an autograph, a photo and hugged them both good bye.

Ever since we left, those sparkling blue eyes have haunted my dreams. Literally, she is all I’ve dreamt about. He blue eyes, blonde hair and that damn potty mouth of hers.

I’ve downloaded all her remixed songs onto my phone and am always listening to them. Especially now, while the lads and I were on our way to go camping in Sweden.

Harry, who’s sitting next to me, takes an earphone out of my ear and pops it into his. He smiles at the music and hums along. When his parts come on, he even sings along to the song.

“This is a bit conceded don’t you think, mate?” He says to me and I laugh.

“Not really. I like them.”

“Where did you even get them from?”

“A girl that me, Liam and Zayn met in the Nike store when we got trapped inside from the fans made the CD. I just transferred the songs from the disc to my phone.”

“This wouldn’t happen to be the girl you’ve been talking about with the ‘sparkling blue eyes’ is it?” He says raising his eyebrows at me.

I blush and nod and he throws his head back in laughter. The other three lads turn around and look at us with weird expressions.

“What’s so funny?” Niall asks.

“I’m listening to Kaitlyn’s remixes,” I say and Liam shakes his head with a smile on his face.

“You still hooked on that girl, Louis?” He asks and I nod.

“He’s always talking about ‘sparkling blue eyes’. Is that the Kaitlyn girl he’s talking about?” Niall asks and Liam nods.

“We met her in the Nike store when we got trapped by fans,” he says.

“Louis’ developed a crush,” Zayn teases and I blush harder.

“At least he’s better than her current boyfriend!” Liam says.

“Oh, god, yeah! That guy was a dick!” Zayn exclaims.

“Whoa, hang on! So you’ve got a crush on a chick with a boyfriend?” Harry asks.

“Bite me, Styles. You have flings with women who are years your senior. I’m pretty sure that’s worse!” I say and he smirks.

“Touché, Tomlinson,” he says and I chuckle.

“You’ve got to come to terms with the fact that you’ll probably never see her again though. I mean, she’s American and is always travelling over the place,” Zayn says and I sigh.

“Yeah I know. But I just can’t forget her. We only spent a little time together. But she has just stuck with me.”

“It’s just infatuation, mate. You’re just infatuated with her mate. It’ll go away soon enough,” Liam says and I nod.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t have been more wrong. Because the more I thought about her, the more I became ‘infatuated’ with her.

Kaitlyn

Well, I can now confirm that I am now a Louis girl. I was always a Niall girl. But as soon as he and his girlfriend, Hayley, were officially together, he came off the market. Then it was a choice between Liam and Louis. Then after the day at work, I became a Louis girl.

It’s been a few weeks since that day. It made an impact on my life. Seeing three out of five of One Direction was absolutely amazing!

I am at the airport with Rae as we wait for our flight to Australia. Rae is on the phone with her mum and I am on twitter scrolling through my feed.

Kaitlyn-Jane Riley @kaitlyn__jane: at the airport with my buddy @rae_of_sunshine while we wait for our plane to Australia. A few months in the sun, here I come! I want a tan so bad!

I continue scrolling until a particular tweet comes to my attention.

Louis Tomlinson @Louis_Tomlinson: So many things I should be focussed on but all I can think of is the girl with sparkly blue eyes. I wonder what she is doing right now?

I gasp out loud and Rae’s head snaps to me. She waves a hand on front of my face but I’m not responsive.

“I’ll call you back, mum, something came up. Love you, bye,” she says into her phone, “What’s wrong Kaitlyn?”

“He tweeted about me.”

“Who did?”

“Louis.”

“As in Louis Tomlinson? That Louis?”

“Yeah,” I say quietly and she raises her eyebrows.

“Wow…”

“Mhm. But I don’t understand. Why would he be thinking of me? All we did was talk. I’m just a fan. I can’t be that important?”

“I’m not sure, honey. I’m no mind reader. But, from a friend to another friend, he couldn’t take his eyes off of you at work that day.”

My head snaps to her, “Really?”

“Mhm, positive.”

“Wow…”

I quickly open up a new tweet.

Kaitlyn-Jane Riley @kaitlyn__jane: I could say the same about you, boy with eyes blue as the ocean, you’ve been in my thoughts too. Too bad there’s nothing I can do about it…

“Flight 483 to Brisbane, Australia now boarding. Flight 483 to Brisbane Australia,” the intercom says.

“That’s us. We better get going,” Rae says as she stands up. I nod and gather my carryon bag and walk to our gate.
