Chapter 7
I was lying in bed, trying to think of any flaws Louis had. None. I couldn't find a single teeny flaw, he was just all perfect. I looked at the clock to see it was 12:46am. I hadn't recieved a text from Louis to tell me he'd got home safe. I was starting to worry about him.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. '1 New message from Louis.' I smiled. Thank god he's okay. 'Hey gorgeous ;) I'm home now, dont worry. Sweet dreams :) ily xxx' He's so sweet. I replied back, 'Good :) sweet dreams to you too handsome :P ily xxx' I could feel my eyelids growing heavey and soon enough, I closed them.

"Zoe! Hurry up! I'm taking you out for the day!" I woke up and rubbed my tired eyes. I checked the clock. 8:30am!? What the hell! I'm nackered! "Mum can we please pass on it today? I'm so tired." I yawned. "But this our special Mum and Daughter day!" She exclaimed as she flung open my bedroom door.
"I know but I didn't get in until 12:30 last night, I'm so tired." I said trying to convince her. "Well then how about we leave at twelve? Then you can carry on sleeping until eleven, huh?" She asked. "Fine." I sighed, crashing my head back to the pillow again.
I was awoken by a sudden thud at my window. I had been sleeping for two hours as the clock said 10:30am. I got up and hesitated to open the curtain until I heard another thud. I opened my curtain to see Louis standing outside, bikeless this time. I opened my window, smiling. "Ever heard of the door?" I asked smirking. "Pffft, yes but this way is more romantic." He smiled. I blushed as I realised that he was actually the cutest guy ever.
"Well what do you want Romeo?" I grinned, perching myself on the window seat in my room. "I've got some exciting news I want to tell you. Can you come out for a while?" He asked. "Damn. I can but only for like an hour. I'm going out with my mum at twelve." I replied. You see I would go anywhere with Louis at anytime of the day or night, but I don't want to go out with my mum.
Don't get me wrong, I love my mum but I spend everyday of my life with her and I only had eleven days left to spend with Louis before we leave. "Hmmmm, I don't know, it's pretty important and exciting. You'd need to be sitting down for it to take it all in. I'll leave it until later, dinner? Say six-ish?" He asked starting to walk backwards down the path. "Yeah okay. Louis watch out for that ste-" I laughed. He had fallen backwards and landed on his bum as he was going down the steps.
"Owwwww!" He yelped. "Awwwwwww, are you okay?" I asked still laughing kind of. "Yeah, I'll pick you up at six." He laughed as he brushed himself down and carried on walking, facing the right way this time.
He winked before turning his back to me fully, walking home again. I wonder what this news could be?
*********************************************************************************************************
The whole way through shopping with mum, I was thinking hard about what this could be. I was scared incase it was something bad although he did say I would be excited. Hmmmm, I don't know. The thought was puzzling me all day. Finally, mum decided that shopping was tiring her out, so we headed home.
"What's up?" She asked as we were driving in the car. "Oh nothing, just.... Louis." I sighed. "Oh dear. Is something wrong between you two already?" She asked rolling her eyes. "No! Nothing like that at all! It's just he said he had some 'exciting' news to tell me, I just can't help but wonder what it could be." I replied, still thinking hard about what it could possibly be.
"Well, if it's exciting what are you worrying about?" She asked confused. "Because, what if it's exciting for him but not for me." I replied. This conversation was just making me more nervous about the whole thing.
"Well, I say don't worry about it. It'll probably be something silly like, 'Oh I love you Zoe!' so don't worry about it." She replied, puttting on a silly voice. I laughed but a part of me was still curious about it.
We got home at six on the dot, to find Louis leaning against the wall outside the house. "Hi Kate." He said to my mum, making her giggle. If I'm being honest, I think she has a crush on him too. "Hi Louis." She giggled back, just like a little school girl.
Louis looked at me and raised his eyebrows, making me laugh. "Right then, you ready gorgeous?" He asked wrapping an arm around my waist. "Yeah, lets go. I'll see you later mum!" I called. "Okay, be safe!" She replied. I blushed at what context I thought she meant. I'm so sick minded.
"So what was this news you wanted to tell me?" I asked him as we got into his car. "I'll tell you over dinner." He smirked, giving me a cheeky wink. "Looooouis! That's not fair! I've been puzzling over it all day! Please, just tell me now." I pleaded. "No, I'll tell you when we're at the restaurant!" He laughed as he started the car. "Bu-" Suddenly his lips crashed to mine, silencing me. He pulled away after a few moments, grinning.
"Okay then." I replied as I settled back in my seat. Within minutes, we were outside Nandos. We walked in hand in hand and guess who served us again. Mustache man. "Ahhhh, you two seem to have become regulars here!" He exclaimed, clapping with joy. Louis smiled and I laughed at his expression. He was trying so hard not to laugh at the over grown mustache above the mans lip.
"Two then, yes?" He asked handing us menus. "Yes please." I replied, knudging Louis in the ribs. "Owww!" He yelped, making everyone turn to look at him. "Here you are." The mustache man said as he led us to a table. "Thank you." Louis said taking the seat opposite me. I smiled as the man walked off.
"What age are you?" I laughed at Louis. "Four." Louis replied, grinning proudly. I laughed. "Right come on, we're in the restaurant! Spill!" I exclaimed as I took off my coat and hung it over the back of my chair.
"Fine. Well, you know the way I love singing? Well I really want to be a professional singer, you know? It's always been my dream. Ever since I was little I either wanted to be a teacher or a singer. A teacher because I love working with kids and a singer because when I sing I feel so confident. I feel like no one cares what you look like or who you are or if you're funny or nice, as long as you can sing the song well, let your feelings out through the music, then it's all good. And I can do that Zoe, I want to show people what I can do. So....... I've applied for the X Factor and they come here in two months."
I looked at him, gobsmacked. That was a lot to take in over dinner. "Well, what do you think? Do you think I should go for it?" He asked as he took my hand across the table. I looked into his blue eyes and forgot what affect they had on me. I could feel myself starting to melt but I soon snapped out of it.
"Yes. You definatly should. I mean you're an amazing singer! You could go so far as well!" I replied, giving him a hug. "I'm glad you think so." He replied. I was so proud of him for making a huge discision like that.
I mean I don't even know what I want to do let alone go for it like Louis. I mean he has his whole life planned out, ready. He knows what he wants to do and his mind is set on that. I wish I could be that determined.
We were interupted by the waiter asking for our drinks order. "Two cokes please." Louis said, not taking his eyes away from me. "Zoe, you mean the world to me. I don't think I've ever loved someone this much. I mean I've only known you for a few days but being with you makes me feel amazing. No one has ever made me feel the way you do. Zoe, I want you to know that what ever happens I'll always love you. If I don't make it far in the X Factor, you'll still be my girlfriend. You're not just some holiday romance that I'm having. I want you to be mine forever. I love you."
He squeezed my hand across the table as smiled like a mad woman. "I'm so glad you feel that way Louis, because if I'm being honest, I think you're the one." I look down at my feet shyly, hoping that I didn't just embarrass myself in front of him. His finger tips tilt my head up and I see his blue yes, making me melt. "I know you're the one Zoe." He says grinning.
He leans in to my lips and kisses me gently. All the things that were happening around us were just a blur. I don't think it's possible for me to love him more than I do now.
**************************************************************************************************************
We walked out of Nandos feeling very stuffed. "Well I for one will not be eating anymore for at least a month." I sighed. Louis laughed. "Count me in too." He said as he linked his fingers through mine. "I'm so proud of you Louis." I said as we walked to the car. "Why? I haven't even done anything good yet?" He laughed. "I know but still, you just chose what you wanted to do and now you've put your mind to it. I really believe that whatver you put your mind to, you can achieve." I replied, opening the car door.
"You actually are the best girlfriend ever. You support me, you listen to me and you love me. And I love you." He said, leaning in for a kiss. This time it was a hungry, passionate kiss. He was running his tongue along my lip and I immediately granted him acess. I could tell he was trying to control himself from doing anything drastic.
A few minutes later, Louis finally started the car and we off home. I know Louis said that no matter what he'll always love me but what happens if he meets someone when he's at the X Factor? What if he just forgets about me when I leave next week? What if I am just a holiday romance to him? I need to find out more about Louis and there's only one person who knows Louis really well. Rosie.
