My Shining Star
What's Happening?!
*Louis’ POV*
I’m so happy to be home. It’s great seeing Sammi again. But I can’t help but think there’s something wrong that she isn’t telling me. Maybe the movie will cheer her up. And if that doesn’t work I have a surprise planned for later that I think she’ll love.
She’s being awfully quiet. Wonder what she’s thinking about.
“You seem to be deep in thought there haha” I said.
“Yeah sort of…what movie do you wanna watch?”
“Let’s watch a scary one!” I said purposely to get a reaction out of her.
“Nooooo! You know I hate scary movies!!”
“Don’t worry, boo boo. I’ll protect you.” I said giving her a reassuring smile.
We walked in her house and turned on the TV. I picked Paranormal Activity because that’s a tamer scary movie than what I usually watch. “Ah, Paranormal Activity. This is a tamer scary movie than what you usually watch…” She’s the only friend I’ve ever had who could read my mind. She gets me. I’ve always liked that about her…
It was about halfway through the movie and her head was buried in my chest. I always thought it was funny when she got scared. …but she hadn’t screamed for a while and she had been in that position for a while now too. All of a sudden her head dropped onto my lap. Yep…she was asleep.
I took the blanket that was on the back of the couch and covered her with it. I decided to pick her up and take her to her bed. I put her in her bed and tucked her in. I never noticed it before, but she looks cute when she’s sleeping. I kiss her head and whisper, “Sweet dreams, boo boo” before going to sleep on her couch.
*Sammi’s POV*
I just woke up and I smell food! Pancakes….sausage, and….bacon? I better go see what’s cookin’. I walk into my kitchen and there’s Louis making breakfast. On the table was a plate of chocolate chip pancakes, sausage links, scrambled eggs, and he was just putting the bacon onto a plate when he said, “Good morning, love! Breakfast is served.”
The toaster dinged and he took out the toast and put it on a plate. “Louis you didn’t have to do all this!” I said pleasantly surprised. He walked over to the table with the bacon and toast and set them on the table.
“Yeah I did. I wanted to treat you. Dig in!” he said sitting down across from me.
We had his fantastic breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen having a food fight and soap fight in the process. This was great. It was feeling just like old times. After cleaning up the kitchen we had to clean up ourselves so we took showers and got all ready to go out. Where, I had no clue.
Then when we were both ready I asked, “So what are we doing today?”
“Funny you should ask. Today I have a little surprise for yoooou…” he said sing-songy.
“Ooooo what is it?!”
“You’ll see…c’mon let’s go!” he said excited.
Louis pulled up to a huge house and my jaw dropped. “Whoa! What is this place? It’s enormous.”
“This is where one of my friends lives. And you’re about to meet him.”
“Him? …wait I’m not about to meet—“
“Just wait and see…” he said mischievously. We walked up to the house and rang the doorbell. Someone opened the door and it was none other than Liam Payne from One Direction!! Somebody pinch me!!!
“Hi Louis, who’s this?”
“This is my best friend since birth that I told you guys about. Sammi meet Liam, Liam meet Sammi.”
“Hello, love it’s great to finally meet you. Louis talks about you a lot.”
“He does?” I say surprised.
“Oh yeah. He even told us that he used t—“
“Okay Liam that’s enough. Let’s go inside, shall we?”
The inside was even more impressive than the outside. Everything was so fancy looking and big…and expensive. Out of nowhere someone jumps in front of me and says, “Potato!!” Oh my gosh it’s Niall Horan!!!
“Oh my gosh you’re Niall! It’s so great to meet you. I’m Sammi.”
“Nice to meet you too. We’ve heard great things about you. Would you like a Horan hug?”
“I would love one!” I said, and Niall gave me the best hug of my life.
“So who else is here that I should know about?” I said looking around.
“That would be me, babe. I’m Harry Styles but you already knew that. Can I just say that you look stunning this morning?” Harry says kissing my hand making me blush.
“Yes you can, thank you Harry.” I say enjoying this. If Louis has Eleanor now then I can flirt with whoever I want. I did see Louis glare at Harry though…
“I’m Zayn Malik, love. Great to finally meet you. We’ve heard nothing but good things about you from our pal Louis.”
“Well I’m glad to hear it. So…what do you guys wanna do?”
“Let’s go swimming!” Niall shouted.
“Yaaaaaaay!” everyone else cheered. We all got changed into swim suits and I was the last to come out. I walked out onto the deck and everyone, even Louis Zayn were staring at me.
“….what?” I said getting self-conscious. There was nothing but staring and silence until Harry said, “You look HOT!”
I blushed a little and said, “thanks, Haz” winking at him. With that we all jumped into Liam’s pool and had water fights, dunking matches, and we even got on each other’s shoulders. It was really fun.
I just couldn’t help but notice some tension whenever Harry and I were together. Louis would make daggers at Harry and I didn’t really know what that was about. He was probably just being ‘protective of his boo boo’ or whatever.
We all got out of the pool and dried off and had some lunch. When we were done eating, we decided to watch a movie. I decided to cuddle up next to Harry while we watched a romantic comedy. Harry picked it out. It’s secretly his favorite movie.
It got to the part in the movie where the main characters kissed and Harry said to me, “Monkey see, monkey do?” nodding to the screen. I looked and saw the characters were kissing and then at Louis who had his eyes on the screen. “Why not?” I said.
Harry caressed my face with his hand and gave me the most wonderful kiss ever. But one kiss turned into two, then three, four, and before I knew it we just couldn’t stop kissing. I guess at some point Louis noticed.
He said, “Excuse me.” and walked out into the kitchen. Zayn went after him. I just kept on kissing Harry. I didn’t like Harry in this way, but I definitely liked how he kissed. And if it was making Louis mad, I didn’t care. He doesn’t like me anyway.
*Louis’ POV*
“Hey man, what’s going on? First you glare at Harry when we’re in the pool and now you see them kissing and you come in here.” Zayn says.
“I don’t know, Zayn. It just makes me really uncomfortable seeing Sammi and Harry being so close. I don’t know why.”
“I do. You’re jealous.”
“What? How could I be jealous? Sammi is my best friend, we have been our whole lives. I don’t feel anything for her and besides, I have Eleanor and I love her.”
“Whatever you say…” Zayn says walking away.
The movie was over now and we were deciding what to do next. “Let’s play spin the bottle!” Zayn says eyeing me. I just roll my eyes at him. I am not jealous! We all sit in a circle and Sammi spins the bottle. It lands on Harry. Surprise, surprise.
They kiss….and kiss….and kiss….and kiss. Harry is starting to slide his tongue into her mouth! I can’t watch this. “Okay next!” I say practically shouting. Everyone looks at me strange and I just look down at the ground. Sammi spins again and….it lands on me.
We look at each other not really knowing what to do. But we slowly inch our way towards each other and when we’re in front of each other, we both lean in and we kiss.
I can’t explain what happened when our lips met…but my heart started racing…I caressed her face with my hand and the kiss deepened. I felt something in the pit of my stomach that just felt so…right. Something I’ve never even felt with Eleanor before.
We pulled apart and everyone was just looking at us. We went back to our places in the circle and Liam said, “All right I think that’s enough of spin the bottle. Um…let’s just go to bed.”
We all got up and got changed and ready for bed. “Where do I sleep?” Sammi asked Liam.
“Um…well there’s only five bedrooms so you’ll have to share with one of us.” He said awkwardly. She looked around at all of us and when she got to me, looked away immediately.
“…I think I’ll just sleep on the couch. …it’s fine.” We all said good night and went to our bedrooms.
I walk into my bedroom and get in bed under the covers. I couldn’t bring myself to fall asleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Zayn said and about that kiss. I’ve never seen Sammi as anything more than my best friend. And she obviously likes Harry…
...so that’s how it’s going to stay. I’m in love with El and that’s what matters. I’ll take Sammi to meet her tomorrow and seeing her again will rekindle what I feel for her. Everything will all go back to normal.
I’m so happy to be home. It’s great seeing Sammi again. But I can’t help but think there’s something wrong that she isn’t telling me. Maybe the movie will cheer her up. And if that doesn’t work I have a surprise planned for later that I think she’ll love.
