My phone began to ring and I groaned. It it was 7 am and I'm being bothered before my alarm.

I cleared my throat and answered the phone quietly, attempting to not wake up my boyfriend who just went to sleep two hours ago.

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Sophia George?" The cheery woman asked.

"This is she, who is this?"

"My name is Melinda Walters from People Magazine. You and your significant other, Louis Tomlinson, have been chosen as our number 1 cutest couple in show biz. We spoke to him last night and he said he would do an interview with us, but said we had to ask you for permission first."

I got up and walked into the kitchen, "Um, okay sure. What would this all entail?"

"Well, we would have a two page spread which would include pictures of you two. As well as an interview and the story of your relationship." She explained.

I rubbed my eyes and yawned, attempting to process what she was saying.

"Sure why not. I guess you can talk to Louis' manager and set up the interview time?"

"We already did that Miss George. It would be today at 5. Does that work for you?"

I sighed, "Of course"

I hung up the phone and began making tea. Louis and I, #1 couple? It's funny considering 48 hours ago we were in a screaming match and now were going to be in a magazine talking about how happy we are together. The irony.


Harry walked into the kitchen and yawned, "Morning love. What are you doing up so early?"

I shrugged, "Someone called me and woke me up."

He nodded and sat down at the bar, "Did you ever connect with those girls from the meet and great?"

I grinned, "I can text Brielle if you want me to? They seemed pretty cool."

"Yeah, and fit."

I laughed, "Can't forget that. Yeah I'll let em know."

To: Brielle Fan
Hi Brielle! It's Sophia George. Did you guys want to come over today and hangout with me and the boys?

within minutes she replied.

From: Brielle Fan
We'd love to! Natasha went back home to Madrid but Serena and I are totally in!

To: Brielle Fan
come by at 12? I'll let security know you're coming

I looked up at Harry and smiled, "They'll be here!"

It took me about an hour to convince Zayn to hangout with us. He kept saying 'I'd much rather spend the day watching movies with you and the boys' and 'I'm not ready to be around girls'. But alas, I'm in charge.

I heard the buzzer go off for the complex and jumped up, "FRIENDS!"

Louis laughed, "Sophia.. you clearly invited them for yourself. Stop playing with the boys' emotions!"

I ignored him and ran into the hallway, "Hi guys!"

They gave me a hug and smiled, "Do we look okay?"

I rolled my eyes, "You both look perfect. Trust me they haven't been around a girl that isn't me in a while so they'll be ecstatic."

I grabbed their hands and brought them into the living room. Liam and Zayn were wrestling, Niall and Louis were screaming relentlessly at the TV, and Harry was literally picking at his split ends. First impressions? Screwed.

"Boys.. I was gone 45 seconds tops. You were all well behaved when I left and now you're acting like idiots. We have company!" I screamed.

They all moved back to their designated seats and hung their heads in shame.

"You've got quite the hold on them." Serena mumbled.

I smiled proudly, "I try."

"Guys, this is Serena and Brielle. Can you say hello?" I said sarcastically.

"Hi guys!" They said in unison.

The girls waved politely and sat down on the couch adjacent to them. We mostly talked and played video games. The 'starstruck' issue went away within ten minutes when Brielle punched Harry in the gut for beating her in mario cart. The two were completely hitting it off. She was easily one of the funniest people I'd ever met. A makeup artist originally from Arizona, moved to London for school and never looked back. Serena was from Ireland, so of course, her and Niall had tons to talk about. She had met Brielle through mutual friends when studying history at UOL and they've been besties ever since. They were honestly great girls. Like I told the boys, I know how to pick em.

Around four, I got ready for the interview I had with Louis and was really sad I had to leave. The boys assured me they would 'take care of the girls' and the girls had no problem agreeing.

"Ready babe?" I asked Louis.

"Yep! Everyone have fun, we'll be back later."

I hugged the girls, "If you're not here when I get back, text me and we can go shopping this week."

"Yes good because Harry just invited me to be his date to some work thing this week and I need clothes." Brielle explained.

I raised my eyes at Harry and smiled, "Did he now? Then yes, we will."

We walked into the People building and the receptionist's eyes lit up, "Mr Tomlinson! Melinda Walters is ready for you two!"

Apparently there would be no 'checking in' or 'wait right here'. Popstar perks, I guess. We followed her into an executive office and met with the blonde thirty something in a pant suit. She fit her job description perfectly.

"Hello Mr Tomlinson, Ms George. We're very excited you both agreed to do this interview. It's long overdue if you ask me."

Louis extended his hand, "We're excited you picked us as top couple! Thanks for having us."

I looked at him wearily and raised my eyebrows. We are?

"Well let's get right to it. These are the pictures we'd like to publish."

I looked through the pictures and smiled. They included the picture of Max, Louis, and I of course. I handed them to Lou and looked up at Melinda.

"Okay so were just going to ask basic questions. If you don't like a question, just say pass and we won't use that one."

I nodded and grabbed Louis' hand, holding it in my lap. This was my first interview and I was nervous as shit.

"So where did you two meet?"

I smiled, "Technically at a diner in Belfast. I was touring with my brother and he was on tour as well. I didn't like him very much at first, but he changed my mind."

He rubbed his thumb over mine and smiled.

"She's being modest about that, she HATED me!"

Melinda laughed, "Why did you hate him!"

"Well we were the only two parties in the entire diner and they bothered me for my sugars! There was like 100 other tables and they chose to interrupt my reading!" I exclaimed.

"Love, if I recall, you did give us the packet." He teased.

"Yes I did, you're right." I smiled and kissed him.

"Okay, so how long have you two been together?"

He spoke up first, "It'll be a year on sunday."

"Any special plans?" She asked.

I looked at Louis and raised my eyebrows, "Honestly I don't know! I haven't even thought about tomorrow yet!"

"I have something special planned, because I'm the romantic one here." He grinned and I squeezed his hand as hard as I could.

"Oh! Can we know?!"

"No way, she doesn't even know yet!"

"Okay fine! Well how does she get along with the other boys?"

"She's incredibly close to Zayn and Niall as well. They all love her dearly."

I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder, "They're all great guys. Very easy to get along with."

"We've heard rumors you're going on tour with them? Is that true?"

I smiled, "Yes it is. Their current stylist Lou Teasdale wants to spend some time at home with her daughter so I'll be stepping in her."

Her eyes went wide, lots of people had asked but we'd both denied it until now.

"Well that's exciting! Are either of you worried you'll get sick of eachother?" She asked, half kidding.

"Yes," We responded in unison, laughing.

"I'm already sick of him! I'm kidding. Probably, but I'm very excited to do it. It'll be wonderful to travel the world with him. Wouldn't want to do it with anyone else." I patted Louis on the leg and stuck my tongue out at him.

"How sweet! Okay Louis what is your favorite thing about Sophia?"

I looked down at our fingers intertwined and waited for his answer.

"Her compassion. She's got an uncanny ability to understand people, even though she thinks she's tough to get along with. Which she is sometimes, but she's the type of person you can talk to about anything and she'll care. Like really care."

I smiled, "Thank you Lou, that's sweet."

"Awe I love that! What about you Sophia? Favorite thing about Louis?"

I thought about it for a moment, "I normally would say his sense of humor, but everyone says that. So I'll say something not a lot of people know. His strength. He's the strongest man I've ever met. He's strong for me when I can't be."

He kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear, "I love you."

"I love you too."

"You two are absolutely adorable." She gushed.

Adorable? I don't know. In love? Absolutely. So in love. A little more everyday. Louis Tomlinson and I could be cutest couple or most hated couple, it wouldn't matter. Our love had proven it could get through anything. And I was going to get to spend the next year by his side.
