26: Same Mistakes

[A couple of months later]

So, we still haven't found a new label company - big surprise there - but that doesn't matter, because right now I have much more important things on my mind. I am planning something big, something life changing. No one knows about it yet though, but I am about to change that.

"So," I gulp. "I have something pretty important to tell you guys." I say to Niall, Zayn and Liam who are sitting on the couch in front of where I am standing. Louis is currently playing football, so he's not here, which is exactly how I want it right now.

After a long pause Niall is the first to grow impatient, as always. "Well, tell us then!"

"Okay okay." I chuckle putting my hand up in defense.

I take a deep breath, getting ready for the responses and reactions that will come when I say what I am about to say.

"You know, Louis and I have been dating for quite a while now, or at least it feels like we have." I start, and they all nod at me, them all looking slightly confused.

"Oh God, you're not breaking up with him are you?" Niall's eyes widen, making the others gasp as well.

My eyebrows pinch together at his question. Why would I want to break up with him?

"No, quite the opposite actually....." I bite down on my lower lip, trying to hide the smile that is forming on my lips just by thinking of it.

"I'm proposing to him."

All their mouths drop to the floor immediately after the words come out of my mouth.

"WAIT REALLY!?" Liam practically yells. I nod, a smile covering my whole face.

Within seconds I'm attacked by three bodies being slammed right onto me. I groan at all the weight suddenly surrounding me, but I can't stop smiling nonetheless.  

"Oh my God, I can't believe it." Niall says after they pull away, seemingly looking into nowhere, a small, soft smile appearing on his face.

"I know, me neither." I chuckle.

"I can't wait! You two are gonna have such a beautiful wedding!" Zayn squeals.

"But how?" Liam asks.

"How what?" I ask back.

"How are you gonna propose?"

"Oh," I blush faintly. "well I haven't quite figured that out yet, I was kinda hoping you guys would help?"

"We would love to!" Zayn squeals once again, making me chuckle.

"You know I once took an online class to be a priest." Niall wiggles his eyebrows.

"That's great for you Niall." I laugh, making him pout and frown. God, now I will have Niall begging me to be our priest every hour of every day. Great. But maybe I should worry about the asking process itself first instead of everything possibly happening after.

After a week of planning, and almost ripping my own head off, wanting this to be perfect, the day has finally arrived. My heart is racing non-stop, in a good way of course.

It's early morning, way to early for me to be awake, and Louis and I are just lying in bed as always. I'm softly twirling his hair around my finger, trying my hardest to calm myself down.

I end up not being able to fall back asleep for about an hour before Louis wakes up as well.

"Mornin' Love." He speaks in a soft, groggy morning voice.
