Keep You Safe. . .(a One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 15: Meeting the Family

The first half of the car ride was quiet. Myself included, but that was because I was so fascinated right now.

Currently, I was inside the longest limousine I had ever seen, with One Direction, on top of that. I mean, I had been in a limo before, but it definitely was NOT as long as this one. I probably spent a majority of the car ride just admiring the limo, and I was only snapped out of my trance when Louis came and sat down next to me.

"Don't catch a fly love." he teased, smirking at me.

I had just noticed my mouth was hanging wide open before I closed it with a clack of my teeth. The other boys chuckled, and my face was heating up. I pressed my lips together between my teeth and brought my fingers up to my mouth, turning away from everyone else. Zayn and Niall giggled from across from me.

"Awh, don't be shy love." Harry said. He sat on the other side of Niall, his one arm slung sloppily over his shoulder. "Is this your first time in a limo?"

I peeked up at him before I sat back up so I could look at him properly, and removed my fingers from my lips. I cleared my throat before I spoke.

"Actually, no." I shook my head. "I've been in a limo one time before."

"Have you really?" Louis raised his eyebrows at me nonchalantly.

I nodded. "Yeah. It was in middle school, and it was for a birthday party."

"Well," Liam sat back, "that must have been some birthday party." he commented.

I shrugged. "I was the only one who really ended up going, so I guess."

"You were the only one who went to that birthday party?" Harry asked.

"Well that's awkward, I'm sorry." Liam commented again.

"Oh, but how's that for VIP?" Louis added, pointing both fingers at me.

"Eh," I shrugged again, "I actually agree with Liam, it was kind of awkward. I wasn't the best party I've been to."

"Oh yeah?" Louis dropped his hands again. Liam nodded in understanding.

"Yeah." I confirmed. "Besides, this totally beats that out. This limo is definitely longer, and on top of that, I'm in a limo with One Direction." I smiled.

Harry gestured his palms toward me with a cheeky smile. "There you go."

"You mean, we beat a party that requires a ride in a limo? YAYY!" Louis cheered. Or shouted was probably the better way to describe it.

"Yeah." Zayn commented. "That's nice even considering we aren't going to a party." Zayn stated humorously.

I let out a small laugh. "Ah, who needs a party?" I flipped my hand in front of me. "I'm having a good time right now."

"Yeah? Me too." Niall added, his smile just as big as mine. He placed his arms across both Zayn and Harry's shoulders. I giggled at that.

The rest of the car ride was pretty chill, and before long, the limo slowed in front of a two-story house outlined by a red, brick fence. Multiple houses of similar statures and colors lined the rest of the street on both sides.

Once the limo parked, Harry gave Niall two large pats on his shoulder. "Welcome home Niall." he gave Niall's shoulder a squeeze before scooting out of his seat towards the door, which almost immediately opened from the outside. Everyone piled out one by one after Harry, myself included, and even though I was making a cautious effort to watch my step as I stepped out of the limo, I somehow still managed to stumble as my back foot knocked against the door frame. Regardless, I stepped onto the grass as if nothing happened, but not doubting any of the boys saw that. Paul closed the door behind me.
