Chapter 3

"Goodbye everyone!" "Bye!!" Alyssa stayed by my side. "Ready?" She nodded and grabbed my hand. We walked out to the waiting area together to see that the only person left was Louis. "Ello Emily." "Good afternoon Louis." He smiled and picked up Alyssa. "Let's take you home and then we can go." "Is she staying alone?" "Oh no of course not. A friend of mine is staying over to watch her." "Oh good." I said, sighing in relief. We walked out to his car and got in, Alyssa in the back.

-Louis' POV-

She looked great. Beautiful really. I would've asked her out anyway, but this made it seem like I wasn't so forward. "Your house is beautiful." "Thank you love." "Wait..." "Yeah?" "I just realized who you are. I didn't really pay attention until now. You're THE Louis Tomlinson." I nodded. "Yes I am." She relaxed a little. "I take it you're not so into boy bands?" "Eh, they're alright. It depends on who it is. I like NSYNC, but I hate The Wanted. They're cocky." "Oh tell me about it." I said, opening the door. We walked in to see Harry already sitting on the couch, watching TV. "Uncle Harry!!" Alyssa yelled, running over to him. He beamed as he picked her up. "I'll be back later." "Alright." He said, talking for the first time. "Oh hi! I'm Harry." "I know...I'm Emily." "Yeah, I've heard a lot about you." I blushed. "Anyway, let's get going love." I pulled her outside. She smiled as we got into the car.

As we sat down, I saw her eyes wandering everywhere. "This is amazing." "I thought you'd like it." We sat in silence for a second. "Let me guess, you're 22?" "23." "Oh, I'm 25." I said smiling. We ordered quickly. "So what artists do you like?" "I like Ed Sheeran...and hmmm, I bet I'd like you guys if I actually listened." I laughed. We talked and laughed for a solid hour and a half, enjoying each other. "Love, can I be honest with you?" "Of course Louis." "...I would've asked you out either way." She blushed. "Really?" "Yeah, I couldn't get you out of my mind that first day. Then the second, I was thinking about it. As the week went by, I realized I had to do it or I'd go insane." She smiled wider. "I'm glad you did. I've had a great time." "Me too." I stood up and grabbed her hand, helping her up. "Would you want to go on a date in the park Saturday?" "Sure Louis. I'd love that." "I was really hoping you'd say that. Alyssa was too." "Why?" "She really likes you." I said shrugging. She smiled. "She's a great girl." I slipped my hand into hers. She looked up and smiled at me. "So where shall I drop you off love?" "1500 Main. I live in an apartment building." I nodded and squeezed her hand. I pulled onto her street and found the building. "I'll walk you up." "Thanks." We got out, our hands joining again. We walked up until she found her door. "Goodnight love. Have a nice night." "Goodnight Lou." She said hugging me. Just like that, shivers went up my spine.
