Louis' long lost sister

Chapter thirty nine

The next few weeks pass by insanely fast. The new album is released, Thanksgiving rolls around, and the boys leave for tour. I was pretty heartbroken watching them leave but I knew they had to. It was a couple of days after thanksgiving and it was now Christmas Eve. I got a job like a month ago at the diner that Harry and I frequently went to.

After spending a couple of weeks in the diner, I've already learned the names of the regulars and have their orders already being made before they even sit down. I make a good amount of money for the time being but I never really spend it on anything. When I'm working, I get free meals and that's only because I offer to take so many hours and I'm always available on short notice. I only get recognized every now and then and the first time Becca, my boss, said that she "nearly had a heart attack." from the scream that the girl let out.

My boss had no clue who I was and I loved that. I knew that at that moment that I got this job on my own and my famous brother or boyfriend had nothing to do with it. Even though Harry and I came here a lot, Harry tended to wear a beanie and sunglasses to not get recognized and it worked. Nobody knew who he was and he liked that fact. Of course, now all my coworkers know who I am but nothing has changed.

Just as I'm cleaning up a table from a family of three, Becca walks up behind me. "You're paycheck, my dear." and she hands me and envelope.

"Thanks, Becca!" I say and grab the envelope.

"So, when do your boys come back?" She asks while helping me clean the table.

"Not until tomorrow morning. It will be the first time seeing them since they left." I say while a smile slowly grows on my face.

"Have you talked them recently?"

"Every now and then. It's hard because sometimes I'll be working when they are on free time and when I'm home they might be at a concert or some other tour related thing. I understand that I have to share them with the world but it's hard sometimes."

"Awe, I know baby. Isn't today Louis' birthday?"

"Yeah. I got his present after my shift yesterday. I can't wait to give it to him."

"I bet. How about I finish up here and you take care of the four young gentlemen at the counter?"

"Oh I can finish it."

"Hun, I'm not asking. I'm telling. Now go, go." and starts doing the backwards hand push motion. I walk over to the counter and pull out my notepad. There are four men sitting there, just like Becca said. They are all in beanies and sunglasses.

"Welcome guys, I'm Freya, I'll be taking your order. What would you like to drink?"

The second from the left was the first to respond. "I'll have a glass of the sweet body of yours."

"Great now would you like a punch in the eye or a kick in the balls on the side?" Perverts are unfortunally, frequent so I've had to find ways to steer them off somehow.

"What's with all the sass, love? Got a boyfriend holding you down or something?" The man had a very bad american accent. Almost as if he was covering something up.

"Yes I do have a boyfriend but he is far from holding me down."

"Oh come on, the man would have to be famous or something to get a chick like you."

"So what makes you so worthy?"

All of his friends join in and 'ooohhh' and then he leans forward. "You wanna know a secret?"

I lean onto the counter aswell. "Shoot."

"I am your boyfriend." The American accent turns into the british one I know and love. The beanie and sunglasses are removed to reveal the curly hair and hazel eyes that I fell in love with.

"Harry!" I yell and smile and pull him in for a kiss. When we pull apart I see that the other three have removed their beanies and sunglasses to reveal Niall, Liam, and Zayn. "Wait, where's Louis?" I ask.

"Thirty seven seconds." Niall says. I raise an eyebrow but a ding makes me turn around. A reflex I've established while working here.

"Order up!" Wait, I know this voice. "Birthday boy special for Freya Tomlinson, side order of hugs!" I look over the window where the food is placed to see my dork of a brother in a chefs hat. "Miss me?"

Louis comes out from the kitchen and we embrace in a hug. "Happy birthday! I've missed you so much!" We pull away and he joins the rest of the guys at the counter. "Thought you weren't coming home till tomorrow morning."

"Well it wouldn't be very mucha of a surprise if we didn't lie a little." Louis says.

"What was the time for?" I ask Niall.

"We wanted to see how long it would take to ask for your brother. He was afraid you would be so caught up in Harry that you would forget about him."

"Wow, Louis. Your'e rude. So really, what do you guys want?"

"Oh we just came to see you." Harry says.

"Then get up and move. Mr. George sits right where Niall's butt is planted and he should be coming in a minute or so. Josh! Get Mr. George's order ready!"

" On it Freya!" I hear from the back. Becca walks up behind me and high fives the boys.

"How did I do?" She asks.

"Great! She had no idea." Louis tells her.

"Becca! How long have you known about this?"

"Since Louis called about three days ago. Now blondie, you need to move, sweetie. Mr. George is on his way I'm betting." I give Niall an I told you so face and he gets up leaving an empty chair on the end of the line of the boyband. Just as he is sitting on the other end, Mr. George walks in.

"Freya! How's my favorite waitress doing today?"

"I'm good!" Mr. George is a middle aged man who's wife passed from cancer last year. His kids have already moved out so he spends his Tuesday nights here. He teaches at the college around here. He does a few courses and usually stops here right after his ancient history class.

He takes his seat just as his order comes up. I grab it from the window and place in front of him. "How were the young adults this evening?" I ask while pouring his coffee.

"Very good today, actually. There was this one kid that couldn't stop farting in the beginning of class but he excused himself eventually. Are these the famous brother, boyfriend, and friends I keep hearing about?"

"Yes they are! In order we have Harry, Zayn, Liam, Louis, and Niall." He gets up to shake their hands and then sits back down. I turn back tot he boys. "My shift ends in an hour. Can I meet you guys at home?"

"Yeah. Do you need a ride home, later?" Harry asks.

"No I drove here."

"Freya Tomlinson? In a car? Wow you must be sick or something if you didn't ride your longboard." Harry says in an amazed way.

"Shut up and go home. I'll be home soon. I love you!"

"I love you too." I go to their side of the counter and hug each one and kiss Harry. "Bye guys!"

They all say their goodbyes and leave the diner. I go back to serving the few costumers for the rest of the hour before I begin locking up the place. I say Happy Christmas to my coworkers and Becca before going into the back of the diner and grabbing my purse and jacket. I follow Becca outside where she locks the doors. I say one more Happy Christmas to her before I walk out back to my car. I unlock it and take the fifteen minute drive to the One Direction house.
