Serendipitous: Louis' Story

Here We Go Again

Melina closed her eyes and breathed, trying to keep her temper in check. Louis Tomlinson was going to be the death of her…

Louis was trying to keep his attention on the fans but it was getting increasingly harder as he also tried to keep track of Melina. He couldn’t help but laugh when she would shoot him a glare here and there while walking around the store. He really hadn't had so much fun at a signing for a while.

Melina got tired of walking around the store and her glares only seemed to make Louis laugh rather than look in any way frightened. She sighed one more time before wandering to one of the music scanners with the giant headphones. She grabbed a random CD closest to her, which happened to be Barenaked Ladies. Melina gave a small laugh as she looked down at it. She hadn’t listened to them in ages. She put the head phones on and quickly scanned the CD. Pinch Me started to filter through the headphones making Melina smile while she closed her eyes to let the song take her away.

Louis was almost half out of his seat while he kept leaning over more and more as he tried to get a glimpse of Melina through all the fans. Harry had to pull him back when he got dangerously close to being horizontal to the floor.

Harry rolled his eyes before using his brain and doing what Louis should’ve done. “Girls, can you all scoot this way so that we aren’t in the way of other shoppers?” Harry said gesturing for them to move further away from the side Melina was. All the girls did exactly that, many swooning over Harry and his accent.

Louis wanted to hug Harry but refrained as he looked up at the next fan and smiled at her. In the peripheral of his vision he could see Melina. With headphones over her ears, her hands cupping each one and eyes closed, she was absolutely enthralled by the music. Louis smiled wider as he saw her dancing slightly, bopping her head here and there with the music.

His smile though was wiped off when after the last fan left, he looked up to find some random guy about to approach Melina.

Melina couldn’t help but to bop her head as she lip-synched to One Week. A part of her couldn’t help but think that some parts of the song reminded her of him, the bane of her current existence. How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad. Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad. Louis Tomlinson… yes he really did seem to find a lot of humor in her anger. Like last night, it had taken her almost an hour of talking to her mom to try to explain Louis’ text. Her mother had absolutely freaked, wanting to know who he was and if she was turning into a hussy, having gone on a date with Kent’s friend then suddenly finding herself in love with some random male her mother did not know. She had even demanded that Melina bring Louis home to introduce to them!

Melina stopped mouthing the words and swaying to the song upon feeling someone tap her shoulder. Melina opened her eyes and turned to the direction that the person tapped her. She lightly pushed the headphones off her ears as she looked at the guy in front of her.

“I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.”

Melina blinked, taken aback. She quickly recovered though as she bit her lip trying not to laugh. Did the guy really just say that to her?

Melina cocked her head, the headphones now resting around her neck. “I’m sorry?”

“No, I’m sorry that was a pretty awful pick up line wasn’t it.”

Melina laughed as she lightly nodded.

“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help but notice you, and think that I want to know what she’s listening to that makes her look so appealing as she’s listening to it.”
