Chapter 7- Just A Gut Feeling
My eyes are widened, but I quickly recover, "Um thanks Tiarne, you look amazing too." And she did. Her brown hair was curled and her make up was flawless. She had on a royal blue dress that was sleeveless and was flowy. It was fitted around the bust then flowed out to her feet.
I look around the dimly lit limo, my eyes resting on Abby and Louis. Louis' arm was around Abby's waist. It cracked my heart, but I smiled at Abby. Pretend Louis isn't there. Pretend you don't have history. Pretend you don't know him.
"Hello, I'm Danielle, you can call me Dani if you like. You look pretty." I say. It took all my willpower to say that. But like I said before, I didn't get an A+ in drama for nothing. I'm just going to pretend nothing is wrong.
She smiles warmly at me, having no clue about me and Louis ever dating or him giving me a promise ring. Her curly blonde hair to her shoulders was still curled, but neat. Not a hair out of place and her make up was also flawless. She had on a baby pink dress to her knees. It was fitted with flowing long sleeves that bunched back together at the wrists with beading all over it.
"Thank you, Dani, I'm Abby. You look beautiful." I smile and thank her. She was super nice. Her gaze travels from me and to Adam. They start a conversation and I look once more around the limo. Tommie was glaring at Harry who was now talking to Niall. Tiarne was talking with Adam and Abby. Zayn wasn't in the car. Neither was Liam. Where were they?
"Hey Tommie?" I ask. She turns to look at me, her glare softening, "Yes?"
"I feel nervous." I admit.
She chuckles and side hugs me, "Don't worry, everything's going to be alright." I nod my head, trying to convince myself. I felt like something was going to happen tonight, but I wasn't sure. But what's strange, my insticts are never wrong.
At least I don't think they ever proved me wrong.......
My eyes unconsciously flit to Louis and lock on his bright eyes. My heart races and I turn my head quickly, engaging myself in a conversation with Tommie again. I felt awkward because I haven't talked to any of the boys for a year, except Niall, a week ago.
It's like we're strangers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ready?" I ask Adam. Everyone has gotten out of the car already and I turn to him. The door was closed as I see him smile, nodding his head.
He opens the door and I'm immediately blinded by the flashing lights. I blink a couple times and grab Adam's hand who is standing outside the limo, patiently. I smile and get out of the car, holding hands.
I wave at everyone standing around the red carpet, behind the ropes. There were lots of shrill screams and shouting, calling to people, not to mention flashes. We walk farther up the red carpet where everyone else is. I take a couple pictures with Adam then Tiarne, letting the boys, well, Louis, Niall and Harry take pictures together. I rejoin with Adam and we walk to the door, my nerves feeling jittery, but I feel a gut churning thing in my stomach. Nerves, right? I shake it off and walk into the big place after talking to a few reporters.
"Whoa," Adam breathes. I chuckle and grab his hand, walking towards the dance floor.
"Let's dance before they make me and Tiarne go up there and sing!" I say, tugging his hand towards the dance floor, pleadingly. He chuckles then pouts his lips, pointing to them.
I roll my eyes, smiling as I peck him on the lips, then jerk him to the dance floor, him stumbling behind me. We get to the dance floor and he puts a hand on my waist and holds out his other hand. I laugh, happy as I put one hand on his shoulder and latch my other hand on his.
We waltz around the room, grinning and laughing, having a good time. Nothing could go wrong. I could feel the world spinning, the light swirl as he spins me with his hand. Lots of people were dancing around us, music filling through the air. Wonderful smells of great food I haven't had yet to try, filtering to my nose. Laughter, talking,clinking of glasses and much more, reaching my ears.
Adam tugs me back to him and he hugs me back to his chest, laughing. I giggle into his chest, feeling on cloud nine. He wraps an arm around my hip and walks me over to a white cloth-covered table. I sit down on a chair and Adam sits next to me. I look around happily. I see silver chandeliers and the current band singing on stage. This party is wonderful so far.
I see Harry dancing with some rainbow feather-clad girl, which made me laugh, pointing it out to Adam. He chuckles, grabbing my hand. I look around and see Niall across the big room, drinking some punch, sitting with Tiarne, listening to her talk. I look to my left and see Zayn and Liam walking in with some girls on their arms. My eyes widen as I look at the girls. They were gorgeous. Way to lower my self-esteem guys.
I pry my eyes away from them and see Tommie, looking annoyed at a guy wearing a white tux with ruffles. She was standing there awkwardly as the guy danced a circle around her, clapping and doing absurd dance moves. I burst into laughter, watching it unfold. Her eyes flit over to me and I have no clue how she heard that from the middle of the dance floor. She sends me a pleading look and I shake my head, enjoying that too much.
She glares at me and I get up, looking at Adam, "I'll be right back. I'm going to be a knight in shinning armour to Tommie." I roll my eyes and walk through the crowd and then come face to face with the white tux-ruffle guy. He had a weird mustache that was bushy and curled at the ends. How was he even let in here?
I clear my throat, "Mind if I speak to her?"
He looks at me, "Eye, what? Do you know where little Lisa is? I need to wish her a happy birthday and tell her that her Bat Mitzah is wonderful!"
I furrow my eyebrows together and Tommie steps beside me, angry.
"You're at the wrong party." I say before Tommie can unleash her frustration and anger on the poor man. "Idiot." Tommie mutters. I cast her a look and look back at the man.
"You sure?" He asks.
I nod my head, "Yes."
"100% percent sure?"
"I'm a 100% percent sure." I say, getting annoyed.
"Definitely, positively 100% sure?" He asks.
"YES! I think I would know if I walked in a 13 year old birthday party unlike you." I say and he quickly walks off. I look at Tommie and we roll our eyes. Seriously man? I hug her then we walk off in different directions. Feeling squished, I decide to take a breather. I walk through everyone, trying to fit through and walk out the back door. There was just cement, a parking lot. I step outside and let the door close behind me.
I walk a little deeper in the parking lot, breathing in the fresh air, smiling. I stop and stare at the horizon. I suddenly I feel my stomach twisting, getting a weird feeling. I feel a presence behind me and I whirl around. I stumble on my high heels and long dress from the sudden, quick turn.
A pair of arms reach out to catch me. I look up and widen my eyes, immediately wretching my arms from his grip. I smooth the front of my dress down and take a calming breath.
Pretend you don't know him.
"Hey Louis." I say monotonously.
"Hey." He breathes, biting his lip. He needs to stop that.
"Why are you out here?" I ask, crossing my arms in front of me. Shouldn't he be attending to Abby's needs?
"Um, well, I've been wanting to catch up on you. Are you okay? Everything good and stuff?" He asks, his eyes wandering to my hands and then to my fingers, to one certain one.
I look down at my feet, "Yes, never been better. How about you?"
I lied. Things could be much better. If he wasn't dating Abby and I wasn't dating Adam and that we never broke up. Wait-what? Why would I think that? I love Adam. Shut up stupid brain. I'm just confused.
It felt weird being so formal with him, it was awkward. I'm just calling it as it is. He looks at me, something crossing his eyes, "Yes, Adam seems like a nice guy."
I nod my head, "He is, Abby seems like a nice girl."
He nods his head like I did, "She is..." He trails off and his gaze wanders back to my finger.
I sigh, putting my hands on my hips, "Just tell me what you really want to say."
He looks back up at me, startled, "W-What?" He clears his throat, "What do you mean?"
"Bull. Louis, I see you look at my finger a million times." I snap, annoyed. He seems taken aback, but quickly recovers, crossing his arms across his chest.
"What happened to it?" He retort, referring to the promise ring he gave me. Why would he care?
"After YOU broke up with ME, I figured it was untrue and useless then. You moved on and now living a happy life." I glare at him, anger filtering into my veins.
"It's not like I'm the only one that moved on." He growled.
I roll my eyes, "Who cares Louis. We are going on tour together. Don't worry about your precious Abby, I'll make sure she doesn't know, so you guys can keep dating."
He squints his eyes and glares at me. I glare at him, before shoving past him, walking back into the big place. When I get in, I'm hit with all the music and I walk through the room, trying to find Adam. Before I can, I'm stopped by two, no, four people.
"Hey Dani!" Liam says and hugs me. I furrow my eyebrows together, and hug him half-heartily.
"Hey Liam." I'm pulled into a hug by Zayn and greet him too. I step back and look at the girls beside them. "Hello, I'm Danielle Brooks, but you can call me Dani." I muster a small smile, waving.
The pale girl with light, short-ish, blonde hair and bright blue eyes smiled at me, "I'm Perrie Edwards from Little Mix."
I nod my head, "Cool name." She thanks me and I turn to look at the girl who Liam's arm was wrapped around.
"I'm Danielle Peazer." She grins. She has brown curly hair and had amazing legs. I was jealous of her body. I wish I looked like that. Unfair.
I widen my eyes and chuckle, forgetting about Louis.
"Nice name, I think I know someone that goes by that. And where do you work out?!" I exclaim. Everyone chuckles and we all start talking, making conversation. It was like we knew each other forever and like I haven't stopped talking with the boys a year ago.
But I could still tell, it wasn't as outgoing as it used to be with them. It was like they were holding something back.
But what?
