Under Your Nose : A One Direction Fan Fiction

Jill POV : Part 37

The guys have a few weeks off for the holidays and are going to go home to their families.  Before they all go we are throwing Louis a birthday party since we'll all be apart for his birthday.  Harry keeps begging me to go with him to his mom's but I'm looking forward to spending some time alone.  Louis and I are not really putting labels on things so I wouldn't even want to go with him, although he did offer.  My mom keeps begging me to come home but I just can't deal with everyone feeling sorry for me.  Of course my mom had to tell everyone about what happened with me and Henry.

We have our favorite restaurant catering so I can't wait for this party to get started.  They just delivered the food and it smells heavenly.  The guys are already here and Louis's and some of Harry's friends are starting to shuffle in.  I am trying to meet as many new people as I can.  I didn't really get Louis anything only because he banned me not to.  He said if I got him something he'd just return it.  Just me being at the party is enough.  If whatever this is wasn't so new I would ignore that and get him something anyway.

"How's everything going?" Louis says in my ear since the music is a tad loud.

"Great, really great.  I've been mingling.  Are you having fun?" I ask.

"Yeah.  It's always a good time when we can all get together.  You look really beautiful tonight."  He takes my hand in his.  The way he looks at me makes me blush.

"I got you something.  I want to give it to you in private."  I walk to his room leading the way as I still am holding onto his hand.  I close the door behind us when we get in.

"Now I told you not to..."  I stop him from talking by putting two of my fingers over his lips.

"Shhh.  I wanted to do this in private because I don't want people, mostly Harry, to make a big deal about it."

"What do you have in mind?" He asks but the way he looks into my eyes I can tell he knows what I pulled him in here for.

I walk closer towards him and I first give him a hug.  He rubs up and down my back with one hand.  I step away and hold both of his hands with mine.  We smile at each other.  I was so confident when I brought him in here but I have suddenly become a bit terrified.  Once we do this there is no going back.  We won't be able to say we are just friends anymore.  Things will become so much more complicated.  I don't know if I'm ready for that and I'm not sure if he is either.  The more I look into his eyes the more I want this to happen.  I don't know if I lean in first or him but I put a hand on the back of his head and my lips touch his.  It's a very innocent kiss but at the same time I can feel the passion behind it.  After we pull away I give him one more hug.  "Happy Birthday, Louis,"

"Best birthday present ever."
