Sophia and Liam looked at us like we were a prince and a princess straight out of a fairytale after Louis's words. I was too stunned to move or even react at first. Louis was such a good liar, he even had me fooled for a moment. The way he spoke his words, and his expression when he said them. . .it was just so genuine and so real. . . I didn't know how to react.

My face felt hot and I'm sure I was as red as a tomato.

"That's so sweet Louis." Sophia said, and smiled approvingly to me.

"Yes, very sweet." I said to him, a little shocked but acting appreciative.

Louis smiled to me, and leaned over to peck my cheek. And if the words weren't enough, I'm sure my face got even more red. I smiled as he pulled away. But it's an act. It's only an act. Remember, he is crazy in love with Danielle.

Danielle.

My smile faded a little bit at the thought of her. He probably tells her these things for real on the daily when she doesn't even really deserve it.

"Is everything okay?" Louis whispered for me only to hear as Sophia explained something to Liam.

I nodded my head and quickly forced a smile to him.

"Oh yes! Have you heard about the new club around the corner?" Liam asked us, and Louis chuckled.

"Yeah, I invest in it." Louis told him and Liam seemed shocked.

"No way mate, all the Elite are there. I've heard it's so classy but fun. Everyone's been going there." Liam said excitedly.

"If you ever want to go just let me know, and I can get you at the top of the list." Louis said like a king, and Liam was blown away. I couldn't help but smile and roll my eyes because I could tell Louis was enjoying every bit of it.

"Stop! Really?! Why don't we go tonight? All of us!" Liam suggested.

"Erm. . ." I trailed off not really feeling like clubbing.

"Liam honey we've just had dinner." Sophia said shaking her head.

"But why not? We're not old!" Liam exclaimed and we laughed.

"How about it love?" Louis asked me, and all eyes were on me. Like the decision was up to me. Liam's eyes were burning through me and I could tell he really wanted me to go. I didn't want to be the bummer of the group.

I sighed. "I guess we can go for a bit."

"The queen has spoken." Louis said and waved the waiter over for the check.

"Yes!!" Liam cheered.

"Oh stop it you." Sophia laughed, playfully hitting Liam.

I forced a smile.

Louis payed the check for all of us, and helped me put on my coat as we exited the restaurant. Sophia and Liam walked ahead of us, holding hands and talking about something. Louis and I lingered behind them, hands in the pockets of our coats.

"What you said at the table. . .that was really good." I praised him, and he grinned.

"I know."

I rolled my eyes, and he chuckled. "You're so annoying."

"They bought it didn't they?"

"Well yes, I suppose so. I remember that ball. Don't recall seeing you though." I said confused.

"Yeah I explained that at the table didn't I?" He asked me and I laughed.

"Yes."

"I just noticed you from the corner of my eye from all the events we've been too. A familiar face was all, and I left about an hour into it because I was dying of boredom." He admitted and I gasped, lightly shoving him with my arm.
