"Who says that my dreams have to stay just my dreams?"

 - Ariel (Little Mermaid) 

"Staring at your phone won't make the email come faster." 

Louis glanced to Zayn, furrowing his eyebrows, "Did I ask for your opinion? No." 

The boy pouted, but walked away as Louis continued to stare at his phone, biting his bottom lip. It's been a few days and he was eager to get the email letting him know if he was truly approved to be Halley's assistant. She clearly liked him and wanted him to be her assistant, but they had to do a background check and basically make sure he's not a serial killer. 

Honestly, Louis just wanted to see her again. He would make her coffee every fucking day for the rest of his life if it meant he just got to stand within ten feet of her. Was that desperate? Maybe. Did he care? Not at all. 

Louis was never much of a fanboy. He's not that passionate about celebrities and doesn't care for them. He loves movies and shows and music like any other human being, but he doesn't freak out over them.  Would he like to meet Tom Holland? Sure. Does he have an urge to have a deep conversation with Drake? Duh. Did he have a boy crush on Timothée Chalamet? Of course. But he wouldn't get starstruck by them. 

However, Halley was an exception. A very big exception. 

There was just something about her that made him nervous and starstruck. It was quite embarrassing but he couldn't help it. Her beauty instantly drawn him in, and he isn't even into models and girlie girls. All his exes were tomboys and maybe potheads, but he was in a skater phase during his last few years of school. But, Halley was just so fucking beautiful. This crush was definitely a physical one, but he also thought she was funny, in a dorky way, from what he's seen in her few interviews. She seemed quirky and had this cheeky personality. 

Zayn claims that she's a diva and stuck up, but Louis refused to believe that. He had a feeling that Zayn just didn't want him getting heartbroken. Louis will admit that he was caught off guard when he found out Halley was taken, but he's not mad. It should be expected. She's a beautiful human being, why wouldn't she be taken? 

"Dude, can you quit it?" Zayn groaned, breaking his thoughts. "We need to go, get your shit." 

Louis huffed, reluctantly tucking his phone away and grabbed his bag. "You know, there's a way to speak nicely to people." 

"I'm aware, you just don't deserve it." 

When he went to reply, he heard a beep and yelped as he took out his phone. He gasped when he saw an email from Harry's manager and eagerly smacked Zayn repeatedly. 

"Told you to stop staring at your phone," Zayn sing-songed. 

"I got a reply, fuck," Louis shrilled, smacking him still. 

Zayn winced, shoving him, "Stop! Why must you smack when you're excited?" 

"Cause I'm a kinky bitch." 

"The only thing kinky about you is your back when you try to exercise," Zayn snorted, nudging him forward so he could shut the door behind them. "Just read the thing already." 

When they went to the car waiting outside, Louis sat in the back and anxiously looked at the email that was waiting for him. He was so nervous to read it. If it said he was not accepted, his heart would break. He didn't want to get his hopes up, but he really hoped he would be approved and he had a feeling he was meant for this.
