*Sammi’s POV*

We’re all in the kitchen eating breakfast...but Louis still isn’t down yet. I can’t believe what happened last night. Of course I loved kissing Louis, but I felt kind of bad at the same time. He does have a girlfriend and we were basically forced to kiss.

He probably felt really uncomfortable since he doesn’t see me like that. But…he took my face in his hand and deepened our kiss…maybe I’m just going crazy. He loves Eleanor, there’s nothing he feels for me.

Louis came downstairs and said, “Sammi, get ready to go out. I’m taking you to meet El today!”

“Awesome I can’t wait to meet her!” I said totally lying. I went upstairs to get ready and then we left to go to Eleanor’s house.

The ride there was completely silent and very awkward. I caught him glancing at me a lot and I just wish I knew what he was thinking! After what felt like forever, we got to her house and went to the door knocking.

Eleanor opened the door and said, “Loubear!!” jumping into his arms.

“Hi beautiful, I missed you so much!”

“I missed you more, babe!” she said. She saw me and said “Hi you must be Sammi, it’s nice to meet you!”

“That’s me! Nice to meet you too.”

“Come in! My best friends Danielle and Perrie are here too. Do you want to meet them?”

“Sure!” I say walking into the living room.

“Girls, this is Louis’ best friend Sammi. Sammi this is Danielle Peazer and Perrie Edwards from Little Mix.”

“Hi! Great to meet you. ” They said smiling at me and getting up to hug me.

“You’re both crazy talented.” I said trying to ignore the fact that Louis went to Eleanor and put his arm around her.

“Thanks! We hear that you can sing too. Is that true?” Perrie asked.

“Let me guess…Louis told you?”

“Yeah you caught me. But you love to sing and you’re really good. So I figured I would tell them.” Louis said.

“Yeah and…we wanna hear you do a little bit. Would you like to sing something for us?” Danielle asked.

“I would love to! But I’m probably not near as good as you.” I said.

“Oh c’mon I bet you’re amazing if Louis says you are. Let’s try one!” Perrie says.

“Ok…can I do Don’t Let Go from when you were on X Factor? That’s my favorite performance of yours.”

“Sure, let’s hear it!” Perrie says.

Eleanor has a little recording studio in her basement for when her friends come over so we went in there to sing it. “Okay Sammi whenever you’re ready!” Perrie says.

“Ready.” Louis is outside the booth watching me and he gives me a smile as if to say ‘you’ll do great!’ I start singing…

I’m done with the song and Louis claps from outside the booth. “That was fantastic Sammi! You have an amazing voice.” Perrie says.

“Thanks Perrie that means so much!”

“All right well let’s head upstairs for some lunch.” Danielle says. We all start going up, but Eleanor pulls Louis aside. I decide to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“What’s up, buttercup?”

“Don’t you ‘what’s up, buttercup?’ me! What’s going on with you and Sammi?” she demands.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“Oh please, yes you do. Explain this text I got from Zayn. It says ‘Just to warn you, things have changed a little since you last saw Louis. You’ll see what I mean when he and Sammi get there.’ I didn’t see anything at first, but while she was singing, I would look up and you would be smiling at Sammi and looking at her like you might…. …is Zayn trying to say…. what I think he’s trying to say? Do you like Sammi? ….answer me!”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Boy was Zayn gonna get it when we got back. Louis just stood there looking up not saying anything.

Eleanor said, “fine don’t tell me. But do me a favor and leave with Sammi and don’t come back until you’ve figured out what you want.” She started to head upstairs so I ran to the kitchen where the other girls were.

“Hey what took you two so long?” I asked playing dumb.

“Nothing, you and Louis just have to leave, because the boys need you back at Liam’s.” Eleanor said unconvincingly. I acted like I believed her.

“Okay I guess we should go then. It was great meeting you all. I hope we get to hang again soon!”

“Yeah that would be great. See you later Sammi!” Danielle said.

“See ya later girls!” Louis and I walked out of Eleanor’s house to the car.

“So why do we have to go back to Liam’s? Did something happen?” I asked.

“Um…actually Eleanor and I had a little spat downstairs. But it was nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

“But I have to worry about it. You’re my best friend. Is she mad at you?”

“You could say that…” he said starting to drive.

“Well why is she mad at you? You know you can tell me anything.”

“I know…but I can’t tell you this. It’s too personal.”

“Too personal? Louis I’ve known you your whole life. There isn’t anything I don’t know about you. Trust me, nothing is too personal for you to tell me so what is it?” I really wanted to hear him say it but I had a feeling he wouldn’t.

“I’m not telling you okay? Just deal with it!” he yelled at me.

We don’t talk the rest of the ride. When we got to Liam’s, I got out and slammed the door walking in without him.

“Hey, love. How was meeting El?” Zayn asked. I walked right past him and went upstairs slamming the bathroom door behind me.

*Louis’ POV*

I walked in the door and Zayn was standing there looking dumbfounded. “Sammi just completely ignored me and went upstairs to the bathroom slamming the door. She seems pretty upset. …what happened over there?”

“Everything was fine until El pulled me aside and read me YOUR text that you sent her! Now she thinks that I like Sammi as more than a friend and kicked me out until I ‘figure out what I want!’ Why the hell did you have to text her?!”

“Because you do like Sammi as more than a friend.”

“No I don’t! Why does everyone keep suggesting that I do?!”

“Because we see the way you look at her. You never look at El like that. We all saw how jealous you got when Harry was flirting with her in the pool and when they were kissing on the couch and during spin the bottle. And we saw how passionately you kissed her last night. Louis, you love Sammi. There’s no denying it.”

I didn’t say anything. I just went upstairs into my bedroom and went to sleep. I had to sleep all of this off and wake up tomorrow knowing exactly how I feel so I can go over to El’s and tell her that I am forever hers.

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…

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 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.”

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 El before.

“Louis, you love Sammi. There’s no denying it.”

I woke up gasping, out of breath. …whoa…the mind reading, the cute sleeping, not liking her and Harry being so close, what I felt when we kissed, the things Zayn said, …it all makes sense. Zayn was right. There is no denying it. …I’m in love with Sammi.
