My Protector

Chapter Seven

Olivia

I stood there awkwardly as all of the boys stared. I wasn't sure why they were staring, but it was making me very uncomfortable. I never liked being stared at and this was no exception. I was starting to shake. I think James could sense my discomfort because he reached down and grabbed my hand before saying, "Stop staring lads, what's wrong with you?" I gave a small giggle as all of the boys jumped.

"Sorry, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." One of the boys walked up to me and held out a hand, "I'm Louis."

"It's nice to meet you," I responded as I shook his hand. "Why don't ya'll come inside and meet my friends." I gestured for them as I started alking back to the living room, James' hand stilled held tightly in mine. The girls must have gotten bored waiting for me because they were both on their phones when we walked into the room.

"Girls," I said trying to get their attention, but I only managed to get Tèa's because Cher seemed to be very distracted by and intense game of Temple Run. " The boys are here. Cher, Tèa you've both meet LJ and James. These are their friends..."

"This is Zayn, Harry, and Louis." LJ gestured to each of the boys. All of them were tall, although everyone is taller than me, and gorgeous. The two he called Harry and Louis had beanies on, while Zayn had his dark hair loose around his head. 

Cheryle looked up from her phone when she heard LJ introduce the boys. "LJ?" He looked over at her. "Which one is Louis?" One of the boys stepped forward.

"I am." Cheryle stood up and walked over to him, slowly looking him over. From his light brown hair covered by his black beanie to his white TOMS. It took a minute, because she got a little stuck staring at his butt. She looked around to see if anyone had noticed, and caught my eye. I just smiled.

"Cherbear?" I asked. "Why are you looking at him like a creep?"

"Well," she said, "if I'm going to be compared to someone, I want to make sure it's a good comparison."

Everyone looked at her strangely, until LJ exclaimed, "Ohhh, you're talking about when I said you were like a female version of Louis, yesterday at the hospital."

Louis, who had seemed pretty lost throughout this conversation, looked at LJ and said, "Wait, you found a girl that you called a female version of me and didn't bother to mention it?" We all stood there, not knowing what to say. Both Louis and Cher were looking at LJ, waiting for an explanation.

Suddenly James exclaimed, "They should spend the day together!"

"What?!" They shouted.

"Yeah, see if you're as like as we think you are. You have to be together all day, even if we're just sitting around," James continued.

I spoke up, "Unless she's on BFF business." At the boys' confused looks, I explained, "If I need her, she can't have Louis with her."

"Fine," James said, giving me a mock exasperated look, "but first you're going to Starbucks on a coffee run."

Cher sighed, "Fine, but only because we're going to my favorite place in the world."

With that she dragged Louis, who was shouting, "Don't I get a say in this?," out of the room.

"Why am I scared for Louis' life right now?" Harry asked.

"Because you're smart," Tèa replied cryptically.

Cher

Louis was still screaming as I dragged him into the elevator.

"OMGSCAN, shut up! Only I'm allowed to be that loud." I slapped my hand over his mouth as I spoke. Slowly he tilted his head to the right, like a confused puppy. Gosh, he's adorable. I moved my hand away from his face.
