Being Simon Cowell's Niece

Constellations

Liam cleared his throat, "Mate, that was totally unnecessary."

"Unnecessary? Me?!" Louis asked, raising his voice. "What about Kellin?!!!?"

"Dude, calm down. Lilly and I are just friends. Same with Demi. I'm engaged. I've been nothing but nice to you." Kellin told Louis.

"YOU'RE ENGAGED? You could have worn a ring. DAMNIT!" Louis said, hitting his fist on the table. He then stormed out of the room.

I looked at Demi who sat there awkwardly. She definitely did not see the Niall crush coming on.

"I should go talk to him." Harry said, getting up.

"No. I should." I said, firmly, standing up. Harry looked at me making sure that I understood what I was about to do. I nodded my head reassuringly and he took his seat again.

I walked out of the room. "Louis?" I called. The front door slammed, making me jump.

I followed the sound and peek out a nearby window. Sure enough, there was Louis, pacing back and forth with both hands on his head. I opened the door and he stopped to turn and look at me.

"Louis." I said, looking him in the eyes. A gust of wind blew by and rustled his hair. I stepped outside and closed the door behind me.

"Lilly, I'm sorry." He said, looking apologetic.

"Look Lou, it isn't your fault. It-it kind of was a set up." I said. I then explained to him the whole plan. "I didn't mean for it to end like this. I'm sorry." I said, finishing the story.

He looked down at his shoes.

"I understand if you're mad and you hate me." I said.

 "You're pretty mischievous." He said, and looked back up at me and smiled. He stepped closer to me.

"So does that mean you forgive me?" I asked.

"Not quite." He said. He put both of his hands on my cheeks. Our lips were inches apart.

"Just tell me if you want me to stop." He said. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back, our lips moving in sync.

He pulled away. "You're now forgiven. And wow, I've wanted to do that for a long time." He said. I smiled.

I looked up at the sky. Stars covered the sky. "I guess the stars are on our side." He joked, making me laugh. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the grass and laid down. I laid down next to him and we looked up at the stars. He pointed at the constellations, telling me each name. For the stars we didn't know, we gave them random names.

He pointed at one star in particular. "See that star right there? I call it Lilly. It's my star. It's very special to me. She's very beautiful. I promise her that I'll be there for her through her ups and downs. I'll make corny jokes when she needs to cheer up. I'd make her breakfast and go shopping for her and give her random kisses. I'll hold her in my arms. I'll do anything for her, for my star. She lights up my skies. I want her to be mine." He said, looking at me.

I couldn't help but blush. I sat up and kissed him. This time it lasted for a while.

"I take that as a yes?" He asked, smiling.

"Yes." I said, smiling back at him.

I had feelings for Louis. I loved his voice, his blue eyes, his corny jokes, how he would tease me. But most of all I loved that he didn't care what I looked like or what my problems were.

He wrapped his arms around me.

The front door then opened. "Oh, um, sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything-" Kellin said. "Um, you go girl. Just use protection!" He said jokingly and closed the door.

Louis and I blushed and laughed as we got up to go inside.
