Unexpected Love

Chapter 14[x]

Louis POV

Damn. Lisa knows how to clean up nicely.

And her leg, she isn't using crutches...?

Eh, I'll figure it out later.

She was currently talking to Beth and Aryanna, she threw her head back, laughing so hard. I loved it.

It was weird, it's been only a bit over 24 hours, and I've developed small feelings for her. I don't know why romance is so weird.

Fucking romance.

Paul led us all inside and I walked up to Lisa and grabbed her hand. She smiled, blushed, and looked down.

We went to our table with me, Lisa, Niall, Beth, and Aryanna on one side and Zayn, Perrie, Harry, Brooke, and Liam on the other.

Wait, Brooke's here? I need to pay more attention.

We all went into conversation with the person sitting next to us, me and Lisa deep in conversation.

"You got in to Manchester?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, I won a scholarship contest. I'll be going for a Major in Music degree," she said, looking down.

She gets embarrassed so easily, and it's fucking adorable.

"Lisa, that's incredible! Maybe if your any good, I could get you a meeting with my record company," I said and she quickly shook her head.

"I haven't ever performed in front of anyone, not even Aryanna, not even my mom," she said, fear the expression on her face.

"But, someday you have to play for me, please?" I asked and she looked unsure.

"I don't know, Louis,"

"Please?" I whined, pouting my lip and doing puppy-dog eyes.

"Ugh, fine. One day, no time soon," she said and I did a mini victory dance.

Her phone vibrated and she looked down, rolled her eyes and turns off her phone.

"Who was that?" asked Aryanna.

*****

Lisa POV

'From: Catherine

Look more in love, if the paparazzi don't buy it, we will sue you.'

I rolled my eyes and turned off my phone.

"Who was that?" Aryanna asked.

Crap.

"It was no one,"

"Lisa, who was that and why would they sue you if the paparazzi don't 'buy it'?"

"Can we talk about this later?" I asked, almost everyone at the tables full attention on us.

"No, you're important to me and I want to know who the hell that is, tell me," she demanded. Damn, someones determined.

"Aryanna,"

"Lisa, if you don't tell me, then I'll leave. I'm serious," she said.

"Aryanna, it's not a big deal. Please, just let it go,"

"No! If you were a true friend you'd tell me!" and with that she stood up, and ran out.

To all of our surprise, Liam chased after her.

I put my head down on the table and sighed heavily.

"Why am I such a terrible friend? Why couldn't I just tell her about the contract?" I asked, only loud enough for Louis to hear. By this time, everyone had gone back to their conversations.

"You're not, she just over reacted,"Louis tried to comfort me.

"No, if I was a true friend, I would've told her the truth. But, I didn't."

I'm such a terrible person.

"Would you like to go home?" Louis asked and I nodded.

"Your place? I am staying there, right?" I asked and he nodded and smiled.

Louis POV

We were now at my flat, I was down in the kitchen, making us tea, and Lisa was upstairs getting changed.

She came down a few minutes later in a pair of my sweatpants, a t-shirt she left here, and a messy bun. She had glasses back on, she must have gotten new ones.

Did she have those at the dinner? I really do need to pay more attention.

She wasn't wearing any makeup at all, and she was absolutely beautiful.

"Hey, what would you like in your tea?"

I asked her and she looked up at me.

"Sugar and honey, thanks,"

Now that she had that brace, she could walk, so she walked over to the couch and sat with her legs crossed (A/N criss-cross applesauce ;))

I came over to her, handed her her cup of tea, and sat down next to her and put my arm around her.

I turned on the television and it was on a gossip channel. I was about to change the channel when I heard my name.

"Louis Tomlinson and Lisa Roluns at his house? What could they be doing? Find out after the commercial break..."

And with that, I turned off the television.

"What on Earth could we be doing, Lisa? Racing camels?" And with that, I got a laugh.

"I'm worried, Lou. About Aryanna. I messed up this time, I should've told her the truth. I'm a bad friend," she said.

She thought it was her fault?

Yup, she always does.

"Hey, stop. You blame yourself for everything. Please, just be a normal person and blame, um. Me! Yeah, blame me. It all my fault," I said and she laughed again.

She leaned her head on my shoulder and put her mug down on the coffee table and I did the same.

We stayed in that position for a while and I asked her a question she's probably never been asked before.

"Sing to me? Please?"

"Um, Lou. I already told you, I don't enjoy singing in front of people."

"But, you promised you would sometime, and I want you to do it now. Please?" I asked and lightly squeezed her shoulder. She sighed loudly.

"I don't even know what to sing," she said happily, as if it was a way to get out of it.

"Just sing your favorite song," I told her.

"Ugh, ok fine. You have to feel pretty god damn special right now," she said and I did yet another victory dance.

She giggled before singing.

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty

Is the face in the mirror, looking back at you.

You walk around her thinking you're not pretty,

But that's not true.

I know you

Hold on, baby you're losing it

The waters high, you're jumping into it and letting go, and no one knows

That you cry, but you don't tell anyone.

You might not be the golden one.

You're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone.

I sat there in disbelief with my mouth wide open

That was absolutely beautiful.
