"Hey, I'm here," I chuckle as I walk into my dad's new flat. A lot had happened in the past few months. My dad decided to buy a flat in downtown London due to a new job position he got at BBC Radio 1. I had been frantically looking for different universities to attend to get a career in music producing. My dad pulled me out of school when we moved and so I was finishing my courses on line. I had just recently visited Brown University in the states that offered a huge program in the desired area. I had applied there but wouldn't here the results for a while.
One Direction had rocketed to success in the U.K. and Ireland and the release of their album's worldwide debut was creeping up quickly. Louis and I had gotten back together but hadn't had a lot of time together since I had been busy looking at universities, and him prepping for his tour.
"Hey baby, how are you?" my dad engulfing me in a hug. I had just gotten back from the states and had gotten a cabbie from the airport here.
"I'm fine, tired, but fine." I smiled dragging my navy blue suitcase into the kitchen.
"You've talked to Louis recently?" he asked me, smirking.
"I texted him before my flight hoping to grab some dinner but he's in California for some interview. It's fine. I'm fine."
"I'm sorry. Hey do you want to do something with your old man tonight then?"
"I actually had made plans with Danielle, Liam's new girlfriend. We are heading to the Sherlock Holmes museum and then getting some dinner."
"Oh, maybe tomorrow night then." he said as I nodded.
"I'm going to head to my room to freshen up, yeah," I said before trudging down the hall to my room. I sighed as I leaned my suitcase up against my white new dresser from IKEA and fell onto my bed. My phone buzzed and I removed it from my black joggers.
From LOUIS <3
Did you have a safe flight???
To LOUIS <3
Yeah. I'm at my dad's. Had some terribly annoying kid behind me but I'm grabbing dinner with Dani.
From LOUIS <3
Would it be bad if I decided to meet up with you guys?
To LOUIS <3
Stop teasing me.
From LOUIS <3
Open your door ;)
I sprang up from my bed and adjusting my shirt before unlocking my bedroom door to reveal a grinning Louis.
"Surprise!" he smiled, using jazz hands for emphasis.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're here!" I exclaimed wrapping my arms around his neck. It had been four months since I had last seen him. In that time he had grown out of his fringe and now wore a messier hair do.
"Well, I figured since I'm here in London for a bit before tour, I'd come say hello! After the interview, it was on the plane and across the sea," he grinned, crinkles appearing by his sea blue eyes.
"You don't know how happy I am to see you! It's been forever! I would love to hang out tonight but I got plans with Dani and-"
"Liam is taking her out. You're rescheduled for next Friday. But for now you're all mine and boy do I have plans for you!" he smirked.
"Me?"
"Us."

"The underground? Are you sure?" I chuckled holding Louis's hand tightly in mine.
"I want to feel like a normal couple..." he droned pulling me closer to him as we walked down the metal stairs.
"If you wanted to feel like a normal couple, then we wouldn't be wearing disguises," I laughed. Louis sported a moustache as well as a beanie and sunglasses (very shitty I might add) and I wore a hot pink wig with thick black rimmed glasses.
"Fine, we can take them off when we get there!" he retorted dragging me through gates as we swiped our oyster cards.
"It's nice to finally go on a proper date," I smiled as I buried my head into his chest while waiting for the train.
"It probably isn't as proper as you think, but yeah, nice to go on a date for once," he smirked bumping me with his shoulder.
"I don't care what we do as long as I'm with you."
We sat on the cold blue seats as we were transported across town to the famous Trafalgar Square. We were quick to jog out of the train and up the stairs revealing a sherbet colored sky decorated with a low hanging moon. The fountains were lite and the majestic lions stood dark and striking against the backdrop of the busy London streets.
"So what's on the agenda?" I asked rocking on my heels, "After disposing of these horrid costumes of course."
"Well I'm really craving some ice cream," he winked kissing my cheek and yanking off my wig. I giggled pulling off his sunglasses as he ripped off his fake moustache. We stuffed our stuff into my purse and walked in the shadows making our way over to a small shop only being recognized a few times.
After ordering (me receiving a mint cone and Louis a cookie dough), we made our way up the stairs and I made Louis hold my ice cream as I climbed onto the lion. He followed me as we sat riding the lions and enjoying our ice cream.
"Hey! Kids! Get down from there!" yelled a security guard.
"WHAT?" Louis yelled back and grabbing my wrist as I started to make my way down.
"I said get down from there!" retorted the guard coming closer.
"WHAAAT?" yelled Louis again dragging out the "a" and silently chuckling.
"Don't make me call backup!" snarled the guard climbing up the stairs next to us.
"C'mon Louis, we should go," I said starting to slide down.
"You're no fun..." He whined crossing his arms.
"Me? No fun? I'm boatloads of fun. In fact I'm the fun-est person ever!" I replied. Standing up on the lion, I pulled out my phone and starting playing One Thing. I pulled Louis up so he was standing next to me.
"Dance with me," I laughed grabbing his arms and swinging them back and forth.
"Is this really your idea of fun?" he laughed, dipping me in his arms as I stuck my leg up in the air.
"No," I smiled, "but this is." With that I shoved the rest of my cone into Louis face. He stood still with his eyes shut as I laughed uncontrollably.
"Well, I seem to be missing out," he said before taking his cone and tossing it. I quickly ducked but heard a loud, deep scream behind me. Turning around I realized Louis had hit the security guard in the face with his ice cream. I turned to Louis wide eyed as he stood with his mouth open.
"Now we run," he muttered pulling me down after him.
We sprinted across the square as the guard followed before turning down a few back alleys breathing quite heavily. Louis had managed to get all the ice cream off his face as he leaned against the wall.
"Now that was fun," he smiled.
"Not as fun as this," I replied pressing my lips to his.
