Adopted by One Direction

Liam's POV: Ch. 32

➡Liam's POV:

I smile when I see the little girl at the door. Her mother, Ms. DeAndrews, stands behind her.

Lily turns around and whispers really loud, "Why is the girl wearing a hat?"

"Lily!" I exclaim. "Don't say that, it's rude."

She blushes fiercely and hides behind Louis. I can tell her comment made the little girl, um, Annabelle, upset.

I crouch down and put my hand out for her to shake. "Hello there. I can tell you listen to our music," I say softly with a smile.

She giggles quietly and nods shyly. She looks like she'st he normal height and weight for a healthy seven year old, which makes her much more taller and heavier than Lily since LiLi is smaller than average. She has faint freckles on her nose and dark, stormy, grey eyes. Her face is full of laughter but her eyes show the battle she's struggling with.

Finally, after a bit of hesitation, she takes my hand and shakes it. Then it's the rest of the lads's turn and they all shake her hand politely.

Lily goes up to her and immediately hugs her. Okay, so she's a hugger.

Annabelle hugs her right back and no one can hold it in, we all awww and take a million pictures.

"I like your hat," Lily says happily.

Annabelle giggles and says, "Thank you."

Lily turns to me and asks, "Can I wear a hat from now on LiLi?"

I smile and shrug. "I don't know. How about we ask..." I trail off and pick up both of the girls in my arms. "Olaf!" I shout.

They both scream in excitement and wriggle around. "LiLi I wanna see him!" Lily demands.

"Where do you think you're going?" I ask with a grin.

Lily stops and thinks for a moment until Annabelle leans over and whispers, "I think we're going to meet him now."

"Ohhh," Lily says.

I carry them to meet the man who plays the voice of Olaf, Josh Gad. "Hey, mate!" I say with a smile.

He grins back and waves to Annabelle and Lily. They wave back as best they can since I'm carrying them sideways.

"Hello, there. What are your names?" Josh asks them.

"Annabelle," she says.

"Lily," she shyly says softly.

I put them down and let them run off to do whatever they'd like. I could tell they really didn't want to talk.

I thank Josh and wander around, talking to people here and there. I'm so happy that the lads did this for us but I'm just not really in the mood. I think it's my way of keeping me away from alcohol in case any of the lads take some in. That way I can make sure Lily is okay.

I hear shrieking laughter from the kitchen so I go and investigate. There I find Lily covered in flour and Harry about to rub some in Annabelle's hair.

Oh. My. God. "Harry!" I shout and he immediately drops the little girl in his arms. She falls and makes a weird sound and crawls away dramatically with Lily.

I laugh at the pair then turn and glare at Harry. "One, where are the lads?" I ask.

"Uh, out there," he says, pointing a shaky finger to the party.

"Two, what were you doing?" My voice is deathly quiet which, in my opinion, is scarier than me shouting. I'm unpredictable when I'm quiet.
