Running Away (a Louis Tomlinson fanfic)

Chapter 15

Louis' Point of View:

I pulled into Alice's drive way and she ran out the door and into the passenger side to avoid the cold.  She was wearing tight black leggings and a baggie sweatshirt under her jacket.  Her hair was down and messy and curly, I loved it like that.  She didn't have a lot of make up on, but she didn't need it.  She looked effortlessly beautiful.  She gave me a long peck on the lips when she sat in the car and bit her lip and smiled when we pulled away, which drove me absolutely mental.

"Good morning, beautiful."  I said as I pulled out of the drive way.

"Good morning."  She said sweetly as she wrapped her hands around my arm that was resting on the armrest between us and put her head on my shoulder.

"You tired babe?"  I asked referring to her head on my shoulder.

"No," she shrugged, "just happy."  I could hear the smile in her voice as she slid her fingers in-between mine and turned up the radio.

We pulled into the school parking lot and got out of the car.  She started walking a little ahead of me out of habit.  I walked up to her and grabbed her hand in mine.  "Where do you think you're going?"  I asked.

"What do you mean?"  She laughed, adorably.

"I just can't wait to let everyone know you're my girlfriend."  I said as I put my arm around her shoulder, pulling her ridiculously close to me, she put her arm around my back.

"You know I don't like to make a big show of things."  She batted her eyes, putting her hand on my chest.

"Hey, is it so wrong that I want everyone to know that the most beautiful girl in school is my girlfriend?"  I winked and kissed the top of her head.  Her hair smelled like strawberries, like always.

"I guess not."  She laughed, leaving a small peck on my lips as we walked into the school.  I watched people look at us and whisper to their friends or smile or say things like "I knew it"  while we walked by.  I expected it, it was a small school and everyone knew everyone else's business.  To be honest, I quite liked it.  I wanted the whole world to know that Alice was my girlfriend and knowing this school they probably would by lunch.  We walked into our form room and saw all our friends sitting there smirking at us.

"You told Lily and Danielle?"  I whispered.

"You told the boys?"  She laughed.  It was pretty obvious that everyone knew and they couldn't hold in their congratulations anymore.  I couldn't really hold in my excitement anymore as the boys hugged Alice and high-fived me.  Everyone had been waiting for this to happen, so they were almost as excited as we were.  Almost.  I watched and laughed as Danielle and Lily squealed and Alice laughed loudly hugging them both at the same time.  I reached for her and and pulled her into me.  She hugged my torso and I squeezed her shoulders with both my arms.  I slid my arms down to her waist so that I was holding her from behind and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"Aw, you guys are so cute together!"  Zayn joked in a girly voice, making us all laugh.  I turned my head and kissed her a few times on the cheek.  She giggled, scrunched up her nose and pulled her head away.  I knew she didn't like public displays or when I made a scene, but I didn't really care, I just couldn't keep my hands off of her.

"Eww, Louis!" She joked, laughing and wiping her cheek.  Suddenly the bell rang and I knew we didn't have our first class together.  "I'll see you later."  She said and her voice went a little raspy like it does when she tries to laugh and talk at the same time.  It was one of the most adorable things ever.  She wiggled out of my arms, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back before she went out the door.
