Long Time

Chapter 7: Eliza

I couldn't believe this. I was sitting next to Louis Tomlinson.THE Louis Tomlinson. This was unbelieveable. I used to wish every day for this kind of thing to happen to me. Now it was happening. Jovian wasn't really eating the food...she was more...inhaling it. Niall chuckled at her. She blushed slowing down her conversation.

"So..." Liam said, finally breaking the silence. "How old are all of you?"

"I'm eighteen," Lacey said. "The rest of them are nineteen."

"Oh really?" Harry sang. "What month were you born?"

Looking annoyed she responded with, "February first." I laughed in my head because Jovian and I had never mentioned to her that she and Harry shared a birthday...

"ME TOO!" Harry nearly screamed. The table shook a little and Lacey looked angry.

"Wow, what a coincidence." She said with a big, phony smile. Harry smirked a little and returned to his food.

"Louis looked soo funny when you dumped that hot chocolate down his blazer." Zayn laughed, changing the subject.

I turned crimson red. Why did Zayn have to bring that up while I was sitting right next to him? Sometimes that derp...okay, I don't know him, but he probably is like this all the time. Then a thought occurred to me. If he found out we were hardcore Directioners, he'd think we were just another crazed fan.

I would not let that happen. EVER.

"So, this has been fun!" Liam said, standing up. Jovi stood up and looked glumly at the food she could never finish. I giggled as she mouthed 'I will slice you' under her breath. I smiled, as I felt I hand on my shoulder. It was not one of the girls. Maybe it was Lou?!

My hopes were true, he was behind me. His little smile I adored so very much on his lips. He mouthed something and I realized I wasn't paying attention.

"Sorry--what?"

"I said," He said, sassily flipping his hair. "If you might want to talk out on the balcony? I see my friends probably aren't going to let you leave anytime soon," He said, gesturing to the kitchen where each girl was having one on one with a different guy. Even Tessa and Liam we're chatting up a storm.

"Sure," I said nonchalantly, but on the inside I was only dying...no big deal or anything.

As we walked onto the balcony, Louis realized it was really chilly outside and looked around, grabbing his jacket and handing it to me politely.

"I couldn't..." I said but he insisted. I smiled, put it on, and thanked him. He smiled. I blushed. "So, I hope I didn't burn you too bad earlier..."

"Seriously, it's fine. Haha. The lads made fun of me for my girly scream." We both laughed for a minute.

"So, hows Eleanor?" I blurted out, mentally face palming right after I did it.

"She's...good..." He said slowly, looking at his feet.

I sighed in my mind. He looked so beautiful with snowflakes in his soft hair. I just wanted to kiss him in the snow right there. Louis' eyes met mine and I felt my heart pound. His face...it was getting so close to mine...

"LOUIS! MATE! COULD YOU PLEASE HURRY YOUR MAKE OUT SESSION UP PLEASE? THEY'RE TRYING TO HEAD OUT."Niall screamed, making us both jump back, me slipping on ice and falling on my butt.

I blushed, mentally angry at Niall for embarrassing me. Just as I expected. He was a troll. Plus, my butt hurt! Louis hurried over to me, taking my arm and helping me up. I smiled.

"Thanks." I sad, on the inside wondering what Louis thought about me. I hurried to the foyer and caught up with the girls. As soon as we opened the door and got out of earshot, Jovian let out the most deafening scream I've heard in my life.

"WE ARE LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ONE DIRECTION. NEXT DOOR!" We covered outr ears, laughing at her.

As soon as we got into the house Jovian started raiding the fridge and they headed upstairs as I fell onto the couch and had a sudden realization.

Did I almost just kiss Louis Tomlinson?
