A New Beginning
Chapter 7
When we got to the car Louis drove me to the mall, as we walked in I took a look around at all the stores I knew I wouldn't be able to afford. I frowned, I couldn't let him pay for new clothes for me, I owe him too much already. I was about to speak before Louis cut me off.
"Don't worry love, I've got it covered," he spoke. Reading my facial expressions again, "Lida, I can pay for some clothes, it's not a big deal."
He kept on trying to convince me until he stopped my words with his lips crashing down on mine. When he pulled away I was breathless from the pleasant surprise.
"I guess a few outfits is ok." He chuckled lightly at my surprised state.
~a few hour later~
Yeah, sure. A couple outfits my ass!!! Our arms were loaded with an entire new wardrobe. Louis insisted on buying practically every article of clothing my size. I protested as he led me around the shopping center, but he didn't listen. When we finally shoved everything in the car and slid in the back I began to complain again but he stopped me with his own words.
"You were never spoiled were you?" His question took me by surprise.
"No, I'm the youngest of four, by the time I was born my siblings were 13, 16, and 19. Growing up everyone was more focused on making sure my brothers and sisters had houses, college, and good weddings," I explained quickly. Trying to avoid the topic.
"Well, am I such a bad person for trying and spoil my girlfriend?" He spoke nonchalantly.
"I'm not saying you ar-" I stopped as the realization of what he said hit me. "Girlfriend?"
"Unless you don't want to be of course," he mumbled quickly.
"Oh my. Louis... I don't know what to say. I ju-" He cut me off again, "Than say yes."
He whispered the last line in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I sat for a second staring in his endless eyes.
"Yes," I whispered. A huge smile broke out on both of our faces as our lips met halfway. This time there weren't fireworks. There was atomic bombs, exploding this way and that. We broke apart when the driver cleared his throat loudly, snapping us back to reality. I grabbed his hand as we slid out the cars awaiting the paparazzi. This time I held my head up high, showing my face and our entertained fingers proudly to the cameras. I looked at Louis to find him staring intently at my lips. I smiled again and kissed him for the world to see. The lights of the cameras flashed wildly, joined by a chorus of screaming girls. As they witnessed our kiss. My boyfriend.
~A few weeks later cuz nothing happens~
Within the time since they saw me and Louis kissing, it has been all over magazines, newspapers and tv screens. I was happy though. The publicity was a little hard though, to have people you don't know, know everything about you. The hate was also a small issue. I try not to let it get under my skin but every once in a while one would just hit hard. Sometimes shaking it off wasn't nearly as easy as it seems, sometimes you need a shoulder to cry on. That is one of the many reason I love Louis, he is so understanding. I sat on the sofa, editing a video on Louis' laptop to post on youtube. I was waiting for him to come back from an interview, he was going to make us official. We did make it pretty obvious but he just wants to confirm it.
I looked up and saw Louis and the other boys I've gotten to know well walk into the apartment. I smiled warmly and greeted Louis with a light peck on the lips and hugged the rest. Except for Harry, he's gotten to be a really good friend. We made up this weird handshake thing that even I don't understand, but we use it all the time. We stood there talking until we al heard Niall's stomach rumble. I began to laugh as I checked the time.
"I'll make something," I confirmed. I was beginning to near lunch anyway. I headed to the kitchen as Zayn, Liam and Niall sat on the couch. Louis and Harry followed me into the kitchen. I decided to just make sandwiches since I was too lazy to actually cook something. I grabbed the bread and anything else I would need and got to work humming while Harry and Louis talking under their breath. I didn't think much of it until I heard my name being thrown in. I paused briefly as my humming stopped. I couldn't make out everything they said but I heard a few things being thrown in.
I heard; Parents, Harrington (my hometown), Sarah, Drive, and Surprise.
I stopped at the last word, maybe I shouldn't be listening. I began humming again and finished the sandwiches. I was about to call the boys in when I got an idea. I grabbed the flour and walked towards Harry and Louis with a finger over my mouth. When they saw me I pointed to Zayn and then to my hair, I watched as their faces lit up from trying to hold in laughter. I grinned and walked towards the living room. Liam looked up briefly from the other couch, I quickly held my finger to my lips, signaling him to be quiet. He simply looked back down at his phone. I was right behind him, I grabbed a handful of the flour and dumped it on his hair. He jumped up, yelling curses at me as I ran behind Louis. We were all laughing at him while he tried to get it out of his hair and making a huge mess in the process. He then stopped and glared at me where I hid my face in Louis's shirt.
He frowned and started making his way towards us, I quickly let go and ran to towards the bathroom, planning on locking the door. But before I could make it he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.
"Louis!" I screamed trying to wiggle free of Zayn's grasp. I looked over at my, now official, boyfriend to find him laughing hard and clutching his sides. I sent him daggers as Zayn continued to carry me one his shoulder. I was about to work my way out of his grip but I froze when I heard Niall.
"Hey Lida," he spoke slowly and suspiciously. "Aren't you ticklish?"
My eyes grew wide and I shook my head quickly.
"Yeah, wasn't it on your sides?" I turned my head to Liam who was grinning wildly from the kitchen doorway. oh no...
"C'mon lads. I think she gets the point." I sighed in relief as Louis spoke up from his spot.
"See?! I agree with Louis!" I exclaimed, still on Zayn's shoulder. "We must be the only sane ones around here!"
Louis and I looked at each other before bursting out laughing.
"Yeah sane," Zayn mumbled as he set me down.
We laughed some more as we finished lunch. After we ate the boys left leaving it just me and Louis.
"Hey babe," I asked cautiously. He hummed a light response from next to me on the couch. "What were you and Harry talking about?" I asked while laying my head on his chest.
"Well, it was gonna be a surprise but I guess you should get packing before we leave anyways. I'm going to take you back to Delaware." I picked my head up, looking him in the eyes. He continued, "I heard you talking to Sarah about earning enough money to go down and visit her. So I figured, with your birthday coming up and all I could take you. I would like to meet your parents anyway."
I looked at him, still not saying anything. When I didn't respond he quickly spoke up, "I'm sorry for not telling you,it's just that, I mean. I'm in the states and we don't need to continue tour for a while."
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, I enveloped him in a big hug. "You have no idea how much this means to me babe!"
He hugged me back while sighing in relief that I was happy with his decision.

The next morning, we woke up and got dressed in something comfy for the long 12 hour ride (including traffic). We decided to drive ourselves in order to get some alone time. We had packed our stuff already and we loaded it in the car. I was so happy to see all my family and friends again.
~One long car ride later~
We had just pulled onto my road, and were nearing my driveway. Louis had woken me up so that I could tell him where my parents lived. We had decided to surprise them, I could see their looks of confusion as they looked at the unknown car pulling up their driveway. I sighed and smiled as I saw my parents and my sister and brother were there as well. Louis had barely stopped the car as I ran to my sister, Ashley,with tears of joy running like waterfalls down my cheeks. Recognition lit up her features as she pulled me into a bone crushing hug as I felt tears of her own wet my shoulder. I turned and caught my brother, Matt, by surprise by hugging him as hard as I could, him awkwardly patting my back. I then turned to my dad who was smiling happily and hugged him. Then I turned around to see my mom, just standing with silent tears rolling down her cheeks.
I saw Louis who was still standing beside the car, I walked over and grabbed his hand, leading him to my family.
"Guys this is Louis," I said proudly.
"Aren't you that boy I've seen on tv?" my mom asked. Louis nodded. "Where's that girl I've seen you with lately?"
I grinned from ear to ear, "Mom this is Louis Tomlinson. And I'm that girl. This is my boyfriend."
Matt choked on his drink but tried to play it off by coughing. Ashley gave me an approving smile, while my Dad was expressionless.
"No, not you. That blonde I saw you next to on the tv screen," My mom covered her mouth quickly and Louis's face paled. The grin dropped from my mouth and all emotion left my eyes. Shit just got serious.
"Don't worry love, I've got it covered," he spoke. Reading my facial expressions again, "Lida, I can pay for some clothes, it's not a big deal."
He kept on trying to convince me until he stopped my words with his lips crashing down on mine. When he pulled away I was breathless from the pleasant surprise.
