Look After You

Ch 6: Excuse me while I go die in a corner

A/N: So I'd just like to clear one thing up . Claire does not like Harry like that. She's just overwhelmed by the hotness that is 1D. Which I'm sure we'd be feeling if we ever met them :) So yeah that's pretty much it. I'm going to try and update Chapter 7 and maybe Chapter 8 by Sunday, but obviously school takes priority :( but here's chapter 6.. enjoy :) this is kind of a filler chapter, but soon you'll find out about Claire and Louis and their feelings :0

Claire's POV 

I was sitting on the beach in Florida with One Direction in all their shirtless glory. I felt like the luckiest girl alive. I leaned back on my towel and closed my eyes. Big mistake. 

"Claire!" Niall yelled, jumping on top of me. I groaned and shoved him onto the sand. He sat there for a minute looking like a hurt puppy. 

"I'm sorry, Niall, but you startled me." I hugged him and he smiled. 

"Claire, can I ask you a question?" He smiled sweetly and I nodded. 

"Ok fine, Ni. What's up?" He stared at the ground then looked at me. 

"Are you in loveee with Louis?" 

"NIALL HORAN!" I screamed. "You have two seconds before I murder you!" He got up and I chased after him. We ran past Harry and Zayn, who were sun tanning. Niall was laughing like an idiot and man was he fast. I chased him past our beach house, then he made a sharp turn. I almost fell over trying to turn but I made it. We ran into the shallow waves and I squealed as the water hit my legs. I was about to catch the laughing Irish leprechaun when a loud scream came from our beach house. 

Niall and I paused in the water and I turned around to see... Lily. 

"Omg Claire? Is that-is that One Direction?" I chuckled at the sight of my little sister having a mini heart attack. I nodded and watched her face turn bright red. 

"Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry, and Zayn, on our beach? Excuse me while I go die in a corner." Louis looked up from the sand castle Liam and him were making. 

"Excuse me love, but I think this is our beach," he said sassily. Zayn got off of his towel and put his arm around Lily, who looked like she might pass out.

"Lou, be nice to the poor girl," he said. Louis pouted and Liam hit his arm. 

"Lily, would you like to make sand castles with us?" Liam asked, ever the Daddy Direction. She nodded and walked over, but then paused. 

"How do you know my name?" 

"Well, Louis mentioned that Claire had a sister named Lily who loved Zayn." Crap. I totally forgot that I told Louis that. Lily's face turned so red, I thought she would explode. She turned to me and glared at me. She mouthed, "I'm going to kill you later." I pretended like I didn't see that. I turned back to Niall, who was observing the scene. 

"You're still dead, Horan." He laughed at first, but then his eyes widened when he realized that I was serious. 

"You have three seconds." Niall ran towards our beach house, but he had to run around Lily, Liam, and Louis making sand castles. He tripped over a shovel that was lying on the sand and landed on top of the sand castle that Liam was making. Sand went everywhere and Niall just laid on top of the sand castle, stunned. I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture of Niall. It was totally Twitter-worthy. 

@claireforever: Haha @niallofficial just epically failed. Sorry abt the sand castle @real_liam_payne  http://twitpic35

Liam started yelling at Niall about how his sand castle was so perfect and then he went and ruined it. Louis was trying to not laugh and Lily still looked like she was in a state of shock. I started laughing because the look on Niall's face was priceless. He looked like someone had just eaten the last piece of food in the world. Louis looked up and saw me standing there. His face lit up and I couldn't help but smile. He really was very, very attractive. 

"Claire!" he said. "I haven't seen you all day, I miss you! Come sit down next to me!" He patted the sand next to him and I sat down. 

"So how are you?" he asked. I smiled. 

"I'm good, how are you?" A sudden breeze came off of the ocean and hit me in the face. My hair got all messed up and I frantically tried to fix it. Louis reached out and gently tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. 

"You're really beautiful," he said softly. I blushed and tried to form a reply, but clearly Niall and Harry had other ideas.

"Aww BooBear's got a crush!" 

"Look how adorable they are! My eyes!" That was it. I stood up. Time for round two. 

"Horan, Styles! When I get to five, you better be gone!"
