fifteen. 

It was now after Christmas and I was debating on whether coming back to London or staying longer with my family. I sat down in the den while Fizzy decided to paint my toenails a really sharp pink color and Lottie sat next to me on her phone, smiling widely at the texts she was getting. Girls.

Phoebe was playing with her new barbie dolls she had gotten and Daisy was in the kitchen with mum. I was texting Harry, who was now back in London and was completely bored. I smiled at his text that read:

will you hurry back to london? tired of hearing about zayn's comic book problems. -H xx 

A small chuckle escaped my lips, which probably made my feet move, because Fizzy slapped my leg for moving. I texted him back saying:

dunno if i should go now or not. also my sister is painting my toenails a bright pink color. - lou xxx

Mum came out from the kitchen and grinned at me. She went ahead and sat her very pregnant self on the armchair beside me. A long sigh left her lips as she sighed at me. I looked up at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Twenty-two, Louis. Twenty-two. It feels like yesterday, you were my tiny little seven year old, being a little jokster." She frowned.

I gave her a smile. "That's okay, mum. I'm growing up to be the young man you've raised me to be."

"That reminds me - have you been seeing anyone lately?" 

A blush tinted my cheeks and my phone lit up from a text, most likely from Harry. Lottie looked down at my phone. 

"Harry? Who's Harry? You've never talked about him, Louis." She asked with a smirk.

I wanted to murder her right there. "I, uh, he's a friend I met at the park weeks ago. Nice lad."

"Really now?" Mum looked at me with a smile.

"Yep."

"Who is he really Louis?" Lottie asked.

You see, my family is very aware I am attracted to men. Always have been open about it since junior year of school. I still remember the day I told my mum. I sat her down on the couch and took a deep breath and told her I was gay. Mum wasn't even fazed by it, all she said was 'Oh, I know.' And I was angry at her and myself - mostly myself because I had made it so obvious.

I let out a sigh. "Fine, I like him."

"I want details! What does he look like? Does he like you too?" Lottie exclaimed.

"Does he treat you nicely, Louis?" Mum asked with a serious look.

I looked at the text that Harry sent and my blush got redder.

how sexy! ;) i can make your whole body pink. - H xxxx

I quickly closed the text. Apparently, Lottie had seen it because she was laughing like a hyena beside me. I pressed my lips together and looked up at the ceiling. Mum was asking Lottie what happened, because she was oblivious what Harry had just told me.

Fizzy picked up my foot slightly and showed Mum the now pink toenails. When Lottie seen that, she began laughing harder. I sighed and placed my face into my hands and shook my head. Mum started to giggle at my toenails and reached over to high-five Fizzy.

"This is unbelievable. I hate all of you." I mumbled.

"Mum, look! It's Louis and his boyfriend!" Phoebe picked up her new male dolls and made them kiss. And now that really set Lottie off, she was giggling so hard that she clamped down on her stomach.
