Diving

Emily’s P.O.V.

Wait, what the heck did Niall just say? I have to make out with Louis, THE Louis Tomlinson for 45 seconds?! Most girls in this situation would have eagerly started to kiss him already, but I’m still kinda frozen in place.

A hand waves in front of my face and I feel someone shaking me. I come out of my little zone out and look around to see the boys doing the same to Louis, guess I’m not the only one.

“我必须要做么?” (Do I have to do this?) I ask the girls in Chinese since we’re all fluent in it and the boys don’t know Chinese. “当然了，我看见你们互相看的样子，你是不是喜欢他?” (Of course. By the way, I saw how you two were looking at each other, you like him, don’t you?) Teases Darrie. I could only nod, these girls could read me like I book, so there’s not point in lying to them.

“C’mon you two, move it, hurry up!” Sileea says as she pushes me over to where Louis’ sitting.

Louis looks up at me and I immediately get lost in those green/blue eyes. Our faces get closer to each other and soon I can feel his breath on my lips. I tilt my head forwards and connect our lips together. Oh my god, his lips are so warm, so soft. But what’s weird about this is that I can feel fireworks in the depth of my stomach, something I’ve never felt before. I wrap my arms around neck and he puts his arms around me. We both get so lost in the kiss, until I hear some light giggling and someone clearing their throat.

We break apart and I turn to face everyone else, to find that they’re all staring at me and I can feel the blood rush to my face. “Nialler over there said 45 seconds, not 4 minutes!” Exclaims Sileea. I feel my face getting even hotter and turn to hide my face in Louis’ chest. Holy god he smells so nice. The second his arms wrap around me again I can hear ‘aws’ and some clapping.

I walk over to my bed, and swing my legs onto it so that I can get up, it’s about a meter high so I have to jump every time want to get onto it. I sit on it for a while, facing the wall until I feel the bed dip and someone gets on behind me. I turn my head around to see Louis. He crawls over to where I’m sitting and surprises me by saying: “Love, since I first saw you just now, I thought you were beautiful, let me take you on a date, please?”

Oh, my god, I’m practically hyperventilating right now. THE Louis Tomlinson thinks I’m beautiful and is asking me out right now??!! Well I guess the polite thing to say right now is, yes.

“Really?!,” I ask and he nods, “Sure!! When?” Ugh, my failed attempt to not sound excited.

“How ‘bout tonight, I’ll pick you up at 7,” He smiles, oh that panty-melting smile, “Oh and here’s my number.” I nod a huge grin appears on my face. Louis kisses my cheek and climbs off my bed. Could he possibly feel the same? I lie down and drift off.

“How is she already asleep, it's only 10! Can we wake her?” I hear voices as I slowly drift out of my dreamless sleep.

“No need humans, I am awake,” I groan as I sit up.

“Not a morning person, huh?” I roll my eyes because Harry just got his facts wrong.

“In a way, you're right. But right now, it's night time. By the way you guys, if I wasn't already starting to wake up, you wouldn't be able to wake me up,” I say as I raise my eyebrows at them convincingly.

“She's right, she once slept through 4 iPhone alarm clocks on full blast,” Sileea states. I just shrug while the boys eye me suspiciously.

Being the observant one, I look around the room and see that Harry's got his eyes on Darrie, that's pretty obvious, but Dare's drop-dead gorgeous so I don't blame him. I also see that Sileea's eyeing Liam slightly. They would make a good pair, Sil's always been quite spontaneous and Liam would keep her under control. Until she's infected him with her spontaneous-ness.

“So, pop-star people, isn't it time for you to tell us about yourselves?” Darrie asks them. Niall, being the lazy-ass that he is just says, “Wikipedia it.”

“Niall, but wikipedia isn't a 'reliable source'? Darrie argues, air-quoting 'reliable source'.

“Ugh, fine. Well, my name is Niall and wikipedia is a reliable source.” He simply says.

“Nialler, you know how many incorrect facts was on the wikipedia page that said 'Sileea Reynold? So many that Emily had to create a wikipedia account to edit all that shit!” The difference between Sileea and I's swearing? I say it casually while she exaggerates hers, “By the way, careful, Emz can get really OCD when it comes to facts and grammar.”

“First of all, never call me by my full name, Sil. Second, well yeah, watching me go all OCD on stuff isn't exactly the best sight, even I know that. But I bet you guys will either be annoyed or laughing your asses off,” I really hate it when the people close to me call me by 'Emily'. It just sounds too formal and weird to come out of someone's mouth when they're speaking casually.

“Now boys, tell us about yourselves,” Darrie says but raises a finger up in hesitation, “Oh my god, why is it so hard to say that without sounding like a stalker or like you're using someone?” I roll my eyes at that. That girl just knows how to make every situation awkward.

“Well, my name is Harry Styles and I'm known as the flirt of the group, I do have a serious side, though. I have an older sister named Gemma and I love her to death. My parents are divorced and Gemma has gotten through a lot of that by my side. I have a house fairly close to my mom's and a black Range Rover, which I'm really proud of,” he's right, he does have a serious side and I can tell that he loves his sister a lot because of the way his eyes shine when he's talking about her.

“Wait, aren't you like the lead singer or something?” asks Darrie, she knows more about them than Sileea and I do.

“Oh yeah, but I don't like being called the lead singer, I like to think that we're all the same when it comes to singing, it's fair-er,” hah, 'fair-er', that actually should be a word or something.

“My turn, is it?” Liam asks rhetorically, but we all nod anyways, “My name is Li-” His sentence is cut short due to the fact that we hear heavy knocking on the door and voices yelling in the distance.
