Chapter 4

As the children were coming in, I saw Louis in the hallway. He motioned for me to come out and I did. "Hey." He smiled. "Hey love. I um, I have a question." "Yeah?" "W-Would you wanna go out tonight?" I smiled. "Of course Louis." He smiled wide. "Really?!" "Yeah, I really like you." "I like you too." He smiled and hugged me. "I'll pick you up after work. We're gonna have fun tonight." I waved and went back into the classroom. Alyssa walked up to me. "Miss Smith?" "Yes Alyssa?" "Are you and my daddy best friends?" "Yes we are." She smiled. "Yay!" She went back to playing and I started making notes and thinking. About Louis.

"Let's go Alyssa." "Are you coming home with me again?" I nodded. "Yes!" I laughed and grabbed her hand. "Let's go." We walked up front to see Louis standing there. "Ready girls?" We nodded and he led us out to his car. I got in the front again and our hands found each other's. I smiled to myself as he drove to his house. "Is Uncle Harry staying with me tonight?" "Tonight it's Uncle Li-" "Uncle Liam!!" "She really loves her uncles huh?" "Oh my gosh yes. They love her just as much too." I smiled. We pulled in and she immediately hopped out and ran to the door. As she opened it, she was scooped into someone's arms. We walked up and I saw Liam. Don't get me wrong, he was attractive, but I liked Louis better. "Hey Liam. So we'll be back in a couple of hours, well I will. There's some food in the fridge, an-" "Louis I've got it. Hi Emily." "Hello Liam." I said smiling. I shook his hand, and he winked, making Louis put his arm around my waist. "Well, we'll be going. Bye Alyssa." "Bye Daddy!! Bye Miss Smith!" "Bye Alyssa." I said smiling.

"Are you good?" I asked as he grabbed a bowling ball. "I'm alright. Zayn's the best though. Are you?" "I'm the same. I'm not too good or too bad." He smiled. "So I have a question." "Yes love?" "Were you getting jealous earlier?" "Um...y-yeah." I smirked and grabbed his hand. "And why's that?" "Because he winked at you!" "So? I don't like him." "You don't?" I shook my head. "I like you." He smiled. We started up the game, him being in the lead. I quickly came back and got ahead of him by a couple of points. We were laughing and having a great time with each other. At one point he came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Love?" "Yes Lou?" "Will you be my girlfriend?" I turned around in his arms. "Of course." He smiled wide and tightened the grip on me. He kissed my forehead. "Thank you." "For what?" "Accepting." I smiled. "Why wouldn't I?" "I was going too fast." "Not at all." He smiled and let go of me. "I'll drop you off at your house." "Thanks Lou." "My pleasure." I grabbed his hand and we headed out of there.

"Bye Lou." "Bye babe." He said hugging me. "Still up for Saturday?" "Of course." "Great. See you tomorrow at the school." I nodded and stepped inside my house. I couldn't be any happier.
