The Painter | L.T [A.U]

Eight

~Melissa~

Jen (Jenna) and I were driving to my house from class to hang out.

I haven't told her anything that has happened between Louis and I.

"So, what's The Painters name?" Jen asked.

"Louis Tomlinson," I stated and yesterday came into my mind. It was such a fun day. I can't stop thinking of him....

"Wow, it sounds so.... sophisticated. I love that name," she said.

"He's British. He's been living here since his Junior year. He said he might be moving back to Doncaster during the summer," I said. Her eyes were wide opened.

"What?"

"So you had a conversation with him? What else did you do?" she asked staring at me with a smile across her face.

"We were hanging out." I wasn't going to be telling her about the face licking, pool, cupcakes, walk, movie, his singing, or when he was only wearing a towel. Or that he stayed the night. So much has happened.

"I know there was something else. I know you very well and I know you're hiding something," she said with a smirk.

"I heard him sing while he was painting and his voice is just so amazing!" I said. It was partially a lie. I did hear him sing and it was amazing but, it wasn't while he was painting.

"I actually talk to him a lot, I guess," I said.

"You better introduce me to him. Do you think he's cute?"

"Yeah..." I blushed.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You can trust me," she said giving me a warm smile and I knew I could. It wasn't really a huge secret but, if he found out, that would be awkward.

We finally arrived and we grabbed our stuff and and headed towards the entrance. I saw Toni's car parked along with Louis's.

"How long are your parents going to be gone?" she asked.

"They're probably going to come back next week. Not anytime soon, at least," I sighed.

"I hope your grandma gets better. You should've asked if you could fly to Tennessee with them so that you could see your grandma."

"They thought it would be best if we stayed here," I said as we stepped into the house.

"Lets go to my room to get ready," I said.

We were putting our swimsuits on in my bedroom. I was putting mine on in the bathroom and Jen outside the bathroom.

"Are you done?" I asked loudly.

"Yeah!" I opened the door and we grabbed our stuff and walked to the pool.

We were sitting on chairs beside the pool drinking a smoothie and trying to tan.

"You should totally throw a party this weekend," Jen said.

"I don't know," I said as I saw Louis go out the back door. He had one of his t-shirts in his hand and scissors in the other. I wondered what he was going to do.

"Why?" Jen said and I looked away from Louis to look at her.

"I don't know."

"You're parents aren't here. They won't know and I'm sure Toni won't care. He'll just attend the party and enjoy it as much as we do. You can even invite Louis," she said wiggling her eyebrows. I smacked her with the magazine that was near me.

"What? You know you have a crush on him. Take advantage. You know that your dad won't let you date Louis." That's true.

"But I never said we are dating," I said.

"Whatever. Just think about it," she said as she got up. I would like to have a party and invite Louis. That would be so much fun.

"Okay. I will have the party," I said giving up and getting up as well.

I admit I have a crush on Louis.

~Louis~

"Dude, want to go outside?" Toni asked.

"Sure. Do you have another pair of scissors?"

"Yeah," he said giving me a pair.

"Thanks," I said getting up from his bed.

"You can go outside. I will be getting us some drinks," he said. I nodded and left.

I was now outside. Mel and her friend were there as well. Mel looked at me and I looked at her for a second and then looked away.

I made my way to a picnic table and waited for Toni. We were going to be cutting shirts just for fun. I felt like getting some muscle tanks to I'm just going to cut it. I was originally just going to do it by myself but Toni wanted to do it as well. He said he was going to get a shirt that he had in his closet.

Toni soon came out and he sat down across from me. It was a Diamond shirt. He laid it on the table.

"Here," he said handing me a Corona. I thanked him and popped the bottle cap off with my keys. I drank some of the beer and set it down.

"Don't you have a friend that helps you sometimes?" he asked.

"Noah? Yeah, he does."

"Why hasn't he come?"

"He sprang his wrist. But I know that's an excuse," I said. I really didn't care though. He was volunteering to help, and I'm not forcing him too.

"Oh, I was just wondering. Do you only have plain colored shirts? I've never seen you wear a different type of shirt," he laughed.

"No. I just like them more. I have other shirts. With designs," I laughed.

I cut the shirt. It was a black one. I cut the shirt going from the shoulders to the halfway down to the hem of the shirt.

We then started talking about things like soccer, me being from Doncaster, and other boy stuff.

He then left saying that he had something important to do. I put my shirt on my shoulder and walked towards the door.

Mel looked at me and I gave her a warm smile. She gave me a smile and I walked inside to paint.

I was leaving until I heard Mel saying,"Louis! I have to ask you something," she said running over to me. I stopped walking and faced her.

"Yeah?"

"I'm having a party on Saturday night and um I wanted to know if you'd like to come. You can bring your friend too," she said.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" I laughed.

"Good. For a moment I thought you wouldn't want to come..." She said in such a relieved tone.

"I love parties!" I said. She just chuckled.

"I'm leaving now. Goodbye," I said pulling her into a hug. We sat there hugging for I don't even know how long until she coughed. I pulled away.

"Sorry," I said and she blushed.

"It's fine. Bye," she said and I left.
