Family

Louis P.O.V:

I woke up as the sun shone through the window, and I kept my eyes closed, sighing happily and pulling April closer to me. I breathed in deeply and smiled at the smell vanilla radiating from her. Wrapping my arms around her waist, tightly, I buried my face into her head, and tried to go back to sleep.

I rested my eyes for a moment before I felt April stir and pull away from my grasp, turning around to face me. "Good morning." She said sleepily with a smile on her face.

I grinned and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, before leaning in to kiss her gently. I pulled away saying, "Hm. Good morning to you too, love."

She snuggled closer to me and sighed happily, as I had previously done.

"Hey so I've been thinking," I started, "You haven't met family yet, right?"

I felt her tense up next to me, before saying cautiously, "No...why?"

"Well my mum wanted to meet you..." I trailed off.

"Uh-huh. Continue." April said suspiciously. I knew she was on to me.

"And I kind of, sort of booked tickets for us to fly to Doncaster to go see them." I said quickly.

"Loooouuuuu." She moaned, burrying her head in a pillow and groaning. "You can't do these things without telling me, sweetie." She said as if speaking to a young child.

"I know but I kind of wanted to surprise you and I realized we're leaving soon so I had to tell you."

"Wait, we're leaving when?" She said angrily.

"Ummm..."

"Louis."

"Tomorrow."

"Louis!"

"I know, I'm sorry, but hey be glad I told you today instead of tomorrow!"

She simply replied by covering her face with her hands, sighing, and murmuring "You're lucky I love you."

I smiled and replied with an 'I love you too.'

As we boarded the plane I could see April's nervousness increasing. She was gripping her purse tightly, and biting her lip firmly.

We sat down and I saw her put out stress-relieving pills, and swallowing them dry.

"Hey," I said lightly, grabbing her hand and rubbing my thumb up and down soothingly, "Relax, honey. There's no reason to be nervous." I pressed a kiss to her forehead and saw her smile blissfully, before frowning once again.

"Louis. They're you're family, and I have to make a good impression on them."

I snorted and asked, "What and you think that if they don't like you I'll stop loving you or something?"

"Well, yeah." She said self-consciously, lowering her head.

I lifted her chin and reassured her, "I promise, you that will never happen. If my parents don't like you then they must to be insane, okay?"

She nodded anxiously, and I kissed her firmly as we got ready for takeoff.

Throughout the plane ride, April remained relatively calm, though the moment we got in the car I had rented for our visit, I could visibly see her growing nervous.
