A New Turn

Chapter 39

CAITLIN POV

The rest of the night seemed to pass with ease. I didn't talk to Louis much, he seemed to be pretty engaged with my brothers, playing FIFA and other games on the Play Station. Typical boys I guess.

I spent majority the night talking to and catching up with my parents. Not an awful had happened in the past few months while I had been away. Life continued to be stable for my parents and extended family. There was nothing that I needed to be concerned about.

My parents kept asking me about London and my dancing though, despite the fact that I had told them all of these things about a million times before. My parents worried for me and my well being, I guess I understand why. I mean I am their first child and the first to leave home, but I think they are stressing a little too much.

But I think having me home for the time being was good for them. They had been constantly calling and texting recently, being the worried people that they are. Talking to them in person, I was able to see that they were much more relaxed, and this made me happy.

Louis left around 10:30. My mum had offered us both to stay the night, but Lou had to get up early for publicity stuff in the morning. He insisted that I stay here for the night, which I was kind of happy about. I had an absolute hankering for mum's pancakes.

I walked Louis to the door, leaving my family back in the kitchen and lounge.

"Thanks for meeting my family. They loved you, trust me." I told him as he stepped put of the door. I leaned against the door frame, admiring his clothing choice. He had worn black jeans and a dark mustard coloured knit. Colours like those didn't always suit guys, but Louis pulled it off.

"No problem, my gorgeous girlfriend." He leaned in to kiss my lips, smirking before our lips finally met. The way he said 'girlfriend' sent shivers down my spine and increased my heart rate.

"Can I ask you something quickly?" He questioned concernedly as he pulled away from my lips.

"HmmmMmmm." I was still in utter bliss from the thirty seconds or so.

"Do you think you will ever want to come out to the fans? You know, as my girlfriend? I've spoken to management, and they're all for it, but I won't do it unless you're ready."

This was something that was very difficult to put my head around. I was falling for Louis, and at a rapid rate, but I hadn't really thought about the whole 'coming out to the fans' side of things. I wanted to jump at it and say yes, but I couldn't straight away. Knowing how I reacted last time, I didn't know if I could do it.

"Can I let you know tomorrow morning? It'll be before you leave I promise. I just need some time to think."

"Of course gorgeous." He pecked me on the cheek as the black sedan pulled up in my driveway. "I'll see you tomorrow."

I shut the door, happiness and worry pulsing through my veins. Happy that my parents approved of and loved Louis. Worry about my biggest decision ever.

I struggled to sleep last night, despite the fact that I was in a bed that was truly my own, and I felt very comfortable. Pros and cons ran through my mind, deciding on which side would be better. I really really liked Louis, and was praying that I was going to be with him for a very long time, but I couldn't stop thinking about the hate I would almost definitely receive. Could our relationship be stronger than that though?

LOUIS POV

I awoke the next morning, nervous for the day ahead. We had a massive day of publicity in Australia, first appearing on a breakfast show.
