Chapter 3 - More Than This . (part 2)
When I reached home, I saw Harry spreading out the tablecloth, Liam straightening his suit and Niall chomping down on a barbecued chicken wing. When Harry saw my wrecked state, he asked "why aren't you ready yet? Alyssa's going to arrive any minute!" I wanted to leave, but instead, they told me to get dressed.
Picking out a solemn, simple dress, I did my hair and applied a dash of eyeliner.

Then, Andrea stepped into the room. She looked stunning.

She patted my right shoulder and whipered into my ear "everything's going to be okay. Just be strong alright?" while giving a comforting smile. She reminded me exactly of Danielle, my sister whom died due to cancer five years ago. She was Andrea's bestest friend ever since preschool.
The both of us stood infront of the large mirror and inhaled deeply. I put on a confident smile for Louis. I was certain that he'd come home, I'd straightened things out with him and everything was going to turn out right.
Well, turns out, my theory couldn't be more wrong.
When Harry opened the door, I saw Alyssa, whom had gorgeous blonde wavy hair, rosy cheeks and an amazing figure. But she wasn't alone. She was chaperoned by Louis, whose arm was linked with hers.
When they stepped in and sat on the seats opposite mine, Alyssa kissed Louis on the cheek and whispered loud enough for me to hear her say "I love you." He half-smiled and replied "i love you, too." Bullets couldn't have hit me harder. But then I realised he wasn't taking it back, hence breaking my heart into a million pieces.
Zayn, noticing that I was on the verge of tears, lead me to his room and rubbed my back gently. "cry it all out angel. Just promise me that you'll put on a beautiful smile after this okay..?" He said. I cried even harder in his arms. Why was Louis doing this to me? I don't understand. Just as I was about to crack a smile, Alyssa walked in and said sarcastically "wow. Just wow. So cheap of you to go around flirting with other guys. I wonder how many times you've popped you cherry," with her arms folded across her chest.
"watch that filthy mouth of yours Alyssa Sutton!" Zayn shot back furiously and stood up. I tugged on his arm. Then, Louis walked in and grabbed her by the waist. "what's going on sweetie?" He asked flirtatiously.
"Nothing babe, I was just describing this filthy whore to Zayn here. I mean, how could she possibly be related to the gorgeous Niall Horan? That I don't understand," she pouted and put her arms around Louis' neck. Louis grinned and replied, "yeah exactly! Idk my friends can be so unreasonable sometimes..." At that point, bullets couldn't have hurt me further. Realising that he wouldn't be taking his words back, I rubbed my eyes, wanting him to disappear.
Out of the blue, Niall punched Louis' face. All of us were utterly shocked. We had never seen Niall that furious before. Louis got up and glared at Niall. Niall didn't look the least bit afraid, instead, he challenged Louis with his eyes to take a shot back. Then, Harry got involved in the matter and pushed both of the lads away from each other.
"Alyssa Anne Sutton, what the hell happened to you?! You didn't go around talking to people like that the last time I met you! So what if Sasha's not Niall's biological sister? What's so shallow about that?! You barely know her and you're already bitching in her face. Just perfect. Really. I thought that we'd be having a lovely evening, but you had to ruin everything. Leave Alyssa, just leave." Harry said to her loud and clear. He clearly wasn't expecting Alyssa to behave in that manner.
Alyssa broke down in tears. She was about to turn away when Louis held her right wrist, not taking his eyes off Harry. "look at yourself Harry! You're standing up for a girl you've known for only a couple of years over Alyssa who's known you even before you got famous! What. the. hell." Louis replied. Oh god. Please don't fight, I prayed. Please.
Harry's eyes widened. Then he laughed and replied, "You, sir, are a joke. You don't know that girl over there? Let's look back, shall we? Let's see, she was the one who kept you sober when you dragged her to a place that she wasn't even legal to enter! I'm ashamed of you. Thank you for showing me who you are underneath. Now then I know how much of a hypocrite, self-centred person you are." Then he rolled his eyes and gave me a hug to add to Louis' rage.
Before Louis could come up with another comeback, Liam just placed a hand on Louis' shoulder and whipered softly, "Before you hurt Sasha's feelings any further, I wanna let the both of you know that what you did was really shallow of you. It also reflected badly upon yourselves. If any of you want to talk to us, don't bother unless you'd admit your mistake and apologize personally to Sasha."
A tear rolled down Louis' cheek. I've never seen him cry before. Then he turned to me and said, "Thank you so much Sasha. Never once in my life had I been treated this way, especially from Harry. Now look what you've done." Then he turned to the boys and said, "what happened to the policy boys? Bros before Hoes?"
Immediately, Zayn stood up and shot back, "That policy only applies to hoes who's lost their virginities a million times," while glaring at Alyssa. "Apparently, Sasha here is still a pure virgin. And hence the policy doesn't apply to here, get it Lou?" Zayn finished with a fake smile. Louis left in a huff, slamming the front door behind him.
Alyssa just stood there silently, but I bet in her head, she'd stabbed me to death a million times. She just stomped her foot and left the room. Then, my heartache got worse. My mind told me not to worry about him, but my heart told me to go after him.
Just as I was about to get up to chase after Louis, I received another whatsapp message on my phone. It was from Farysha.
FairyshaHoran : Sasha, please know that I never had the intention to dump or leave Niall. I had to do it because of..... Justin.
I shuddered at the last word. Justin, was infact Farysha's boyfriend, whom always got drunk and abused her had jealousy issues. When Farysha first started going out with Niall, Justin begged her to get back with him, but Farysha rejected him. Now, he was back once again, this time threatening to destroy One Direction's career if she didn't leave Niall. Then, after spacing out for a little while, I snapped back into reality and chased after Louis.
I found him along a road, kicking snow out of his path. Frankly I was starting to question myself why I even put down my ego to apologise to someone that admitted that he didnt know me? Why go through the shame? The reason was simple: I, Sasha Anne Horan, had fallen in love with Louis William Tomlinson. I wasn't surprised that Alyssa was still waiting for him. I mean, look at him. He's an amazing singer, he's got gorgeous features and he knows how to make girls melt just by looking into their eyes. I sprinted forward and grabbed his wrist. "Louis, hold up." I said, breathing moderately, not wanting to faint again.
"Get back home Sasha. You shouldn't be out here." Louis said, wrenching his wrist out of my grasp.
"So that's it? You really want me to leave like nothing's happen? I'm going to count to 10, and if you don't respond, I take it that you never cared about me. At all." I declared, wanting to sort my feelings out once and for all. "1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9.." I counted, but I hesitated for a while before finally saying "10."
"I get it now Louis. Now I know where I stand in your eyes. But what I hated most about myself was that I actually thought that if I let myself fall for you, you'd catch me. Guess I was wrong. Ironic how the person you hate most is also the person behind your smile. Well, I'll be leaving now. Nice knowing you Louis Tomlinson." I turned and walked away, preventing my tears from falling. Maybe what Niall said about me was correct. I was too naive. That's why I was an easy-catch. Someone easily fooled.
When I got home, Alyssa looked up at me and shouted, "YOU AGAIN?! PLEASE, JUST LEAVE!" I gave a small smile to the boys to indicate that I was alright. In return, Harry muttered "it's not Sasha that should leave. Its you."
I was pretty sure that Alyssa heard what Harry said because after that, she spun around and hissed "look at me and Say it to my face Harold Edward Styles," while challenging him with her eyes.
"Look at you? I can't even face you. I'm too ashamed to admit that I used to be your bestfriend. Just leave and let us sort this matter out by ourselves and do us all a favour and take care of Louis. Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid as we won't be there to tell him not to. As for yourself, you might want to do some reflecting on what you did and whether or not you deserve to be my bestfriend." Harry said, his eyes not taking off the ground.
Then, Liam and Zayn led me to my bedroom and tucked me under the covers. I was too tired to even think about what would happen next.
Maybe some things were just not meant to be.

Chapter 3 - More Than This .
Chapter 3 - More Than This .
The next morning, I woke up with a throbbing head. After my eyes had adjusted its sight, I realised that I was completely naked. Well, with my bra on atleast. But still. I stretched and found another person sharing the same bed as me. The body stirred and the unknown person yawned. He removed the blanket and I gasped. It was Louis. As soon as he got up, my eyes pried away from his dingaling, which made my cheeks burn.
"Oh.... God.... What happened?" I mumbled, Unsure of the series of events that had happened the night before. All I could remember was Louis mumbling a couple of words then knocking out, then my drink getting spiked, and then, poof , nothing .
"you really don't remember, eh? well, nothing serious happened, so don't worry about it." He declared, clearly disappointed.
I nodded. Why the hell were we both naked? Had I surrendered my v-status already? Many questions popped into my head like a quickfire round.
I spotted a bathrobe on the floor, so I quickly put it on, grabbed a mirror that was placed on the bedside table and took a glance at myself. There was a red mark on my neck. Oh god what was that? Was it a rash or....? I gaped in horror as I thought about what it was. It was a hickey. My first time getting lovebit and I was in a drunk state. How perfect.
"I'm pretty sure you were quite sober and can remember some things from last night. Ummmm, about what I said, you can choose to forget about it." Louis said suddenly. His hair was in a mess, which made him really cute. "......what if I don't choose to forget it?" was what I found myself saying. He blinked, then got up. He didnt care about the fact that he was naked, he just removed the blanket and hugged me. Suddenly, sparks flew. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. My heart raced. Am I really falling for him? But.... I promised myself not to fall TOO hard and expect anything from him.
Just as I was about to kiss his cheek, Niall screamed "WHAT THE HELL?!" Immediately, Louis covered himself with the blankets and leaving the room with bright red cheeks.
"Niall... Its not what you think.." I explained calmly, startled at his sudden appearance.
"How could you do this?! I invite you to spend Christmas with me and now I'm finding you having sex with one of my bestfriends! Bloody hell Sasha, what were you thinking?!" Niall shouted, not thinking about my feelings. At all.
"Oh, so you think I'm a slut now?! I'm not that shallow Niall!" I screamed back with tears welling up in my eyes. ".....fine, I'll leave by tomorrow morning and you can pretend none of this ever happened," I said, after calming myself down.
As I turned to take my luggage out from the closet, Niall spoke. "I-I'm so sorry Sash. I guess I'm just not over the fact that Farysha dumped me and I had to vent it out on you instead." His face turned red, for his weakness was getting shouted at.
"WAIT, WHAT?! when?!" I gasped. How long had they been keeping it a secret from me?
"The day after you got sick, she left without a word. The next thing I knew, she was already in Singapore." He stammered, then leaning on my shoulders.
"Ohmigod. I'm so sorry Nialler. I didn't know. I'm sorry that I shouted at you, too." I said, wiping his tears away.
"s'okay. I'm sorry that I screamed in your face, I'm just so concerned about you. I mean, it just makes me so furious seeing the other lads in Mullingar staring at you like you're an easy catch. So furious that I feel like scooping their eyes out when they ogle you. They want to be your first cause you're a naive, good-hearted, gorgeous young girl, which makes it easier for these kind of guys to fool your heart. And you are so much more than an easy catch. You're my sister, and I'm willing to go to the end of the world to protect you from those assholes." Nail said, patting my head. I was so touched by his words. This was why I was proud to be known as Sasha Horan, Niall James Horan's sister.
As I opened my mouth to say something, suddenly Harry shouted "Alyssa's coming back! She's coming home!" that echoed throughout the whole house. I combed my hair and went downstairs with Niall. "who's Alyssa?" I asked. When Harry saw me, he smiled. "enjoyed your night Sasha? ;)" he said. I shot him a clueless look. "haha, don't worry. Your v-card is still there," he assured me in a low voice. I nodded in relief. "Alyssa's my bestfriend since forever. She's amazing." Harry continued. "Soo what are we going to do for her homecoming?" Niall said, as if on cue. "How 'bout I cook up something special? I'd like to meet her," I suggested excitedly. Andrea, Liam, Niall and Zayn looked uneasy. How weird.
Later in the afternoon, Andrea, Harry and I went to the supermarket. We were going to cook spaghetti that night. "she's so pretty, she's so funny, she's so...." Harry kept rattling on Alyssa's good qualities. Harry left to go look for good wine while Andrea and I picked out the groceries.
'so... Does Harry like Alyssa or something?' I asked. I expected it to be a 100% yes, since he wouldn't stop bragging about her ever since he got her text.
'well, yeah. Once. They tried to work things out, but I guess they were better off as friends.' Andrea smiled.
'So.... Does this Alyssa girl have a boyfriend ?' I asked, curious to know more about this amazing girl Harry had been talking about.
'well, no. The last time we've seen her, she's been waiting on Lo-' Her voice trailed off.
'For Louis?' I asked, my heart dropping.
'well yeah. They went out before, but then she cheated on Louis with some rich bloke named Aston. Louis never told Harry about this cause he didn't want to ruin their friendship.' What..? But I mean, that's all history right? I bit my lower lip. I just hoped that Louis didn't have any feelings for her. "don't worry, I bet Louis is all in for you." Andrea comforted, looking at my changed expression. I could only hope.
For some reason, I didn't feel quite alright with the idea of Alyssa still waiting on Louis after all these years.
Then, a whatsapp message came through. It was from Louis.
SwagMastaDoncasta: hey babe. Where'd everybody go? You alright? Come home soon. Miss you. x
I felt like throwing my phone onto the ground, but then again, I remembered the promise I'd made to myself: I'm wasn't going to fall too hard for him. Okay so I kind of fell harder than expected. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I typed with trembling fingers.
Affhsyz: hey. at the supermarket now. ALYSSA'S coming over tonight. See ya.
I purposely typed Alyssa's name in capital letters. I wasn't expecting him to reply to it anyway.
When we reached home, I just made a dash towards the secret stairwell behind the bookcase and cried my eyes out. Then, when I heard footsteps coming, I wiped my tears.
"Sasha. Are you okay?" Zayn said softly and sat beside me.
I took a deep breath and forced a smile. "it's nothing. I'm just an emotional wreck sometimes for no reason. I'm okay." I assured him.
"so you weren't up here hoping that i'd come?" he said, pouting.
I laughed and shook my head. "I'm fine Zayn, don't worry about it." I said with a stifle. "I know you're not. I live with 2 sisters, so I know this whole 'I'm okay' thing means that you're obviously not. Everything's gonna be okay, I promise." Zayn continued, whilst embracing me.
Then, I saw Louis at the bottom of the stairwell, staring up at us. I didn't know why, but at that point of time, my heart sanked. It snaked even deeper when I thought about Alyssa.
"i-it actually h-hurts m-m-me to see one of my b-bestfriends hugging you." He stammered, while trying to look at me in the eyes. In my head, I wanted to scream: AND IT FUCKING HURTS ME TO KNOW THAT YOU ONCE HAD A THING FOR ALYSSA AND NOW ALYSSA STILL LIKES YOU. But I preferred not to start an argument, so I kept it to myself.
"Let's go talk near The Rink." He suggested. The Rink's an ice-skating area, famous for it's magnificent public display of affection shown by couples worldwide during winter.
It was so tensed between me and him. Then, thinking about Alyssa again, my jealousy raged and I hissed, "what do you want from me, exactly?" I realised that it was rude of me to start a topic that way, but I couldn't help my anger at that time, which then resulted in a heated argument.
"what do I want? What do I want? Do you know how much I felt like pushing Zayn away from you so that I could be the only one to hug you? Do you ever realise how much I stammer whenever I'm around with you? And how goofily I smile whenever you're clumsy? Do you know how hard it was to try and push away the feelings that I had for you? Well let me tell you, IT'S NOT. WHY CAN'T YOU GET THAT SASHA, WHY?!" Louis asked, his nose getting red from the crying.
As if on cue, I broke down in tears and walked away from him without a word. His words kept echoing inside my head. On the other hand, I wondered why didn't I tell him that I loved him? That I didn't want Alyssa to get involved in his life? That he was everything to me? Oh, that's right, it was all because of the flacking amount of ego i had. I WAS SUCH AN IDIOT !
Why was life being such a bitch now?
The next morning, I woke up with a throbbing head. After my eyes had adjusted its sight, I realised that I was completely naked. Well, with my bra on atleast. But still. I stretched and found another person sharing the same bed as me. The body stirred and the unknown person yawned. He removed the blanket and I gasped. It was Louis.

Chapter 2 - Another World (Part 2)
Chapter 2 - Another World .(part 2)
I breathed heavily as i arrived home. I had to admit, Louis was a fast runner. Louis was on the front porch, gaping at me.
'Aw, do i look that bad?' I asked, looking at Lou's expression. Maybe my hair was messy. Maybe the hem of my dress tore abit. Oh no. 'you're really pale, and you're out of breath.' He said in a worried tone. Then, without warning, the whole world faded to black.
'Don't move,' a deep voice said.
I felt the bright light first, burning through my closed eyes, forcing me to turn my head away from the glare. As i moved, i felt a sharp pain searing through me.
'Sis, i know you're not big on following the rules, but when you're told to stay still, you might want to do as told.' I recognised the voice. It was Nialler's.
I blinked and swallowed. I looked up to see Niall dabbing a damp, small towel on my forehead and four pairs of eyes looking back at me. Liam, Andrea, Harry and Zayn all shared the same worried expression except for Louis, who was sound asleep at the end of the bed.
And then somehow I found the strength to say, "What happened?"
I didn't know what day or what time it was, but judging from their faces, I might've been pretty knocked out for a couple of days.
'He stayed up all night to look after you. He didn't know that you were prone to asthma,' Liam explained calmly.
'Then.... Where's Farysha and Natasha..?' I asked, my eyes scanning the room.
'They had to leave.... Urgent matters.' Zayn said flatly, as if he was hiding something from me.
'Umm.....okay...' I didn't know what to say so I just glanced down and clutched my duvet.
Suddenly, Louis rubbed his eyes and stretched. 'oh hey babe, i'm so glad you finally woke up.' he said. I giggled when he called me babe. Like a giggly, waggly girl. But wait, I bet he's said that to millions of girls before.
He slinged an arm around my shoulder. He seemed comfortable. Then Niall announced 'Liam, Andrea and I are gonna go to the supermarket. Lou, I'm trusting you to take care of her. Don't get too comfy, I've got eyes on you.' OH YES ! Some alone time with him, finally. As if he knew what my mind had said, he winked at me.
'I'm sorry. I promise to make it up to you. It was stupid of me to put you through that situation.' Louis said, while holding my hands. Shit. I hope that my palms won't start to sweat. I pouted, wanting him to comfort me more. And then, he did the most unexpected thing. Ever. He kissed me. Boy was it good. My first kiss turned out better than I had expected. His lips were warm and soft.
When he opened his eyes, he said 'let's go to Down Under.' It was a nightclub. Wait, I'm underaged. By 2 years. How the hell am I supposed to get in?! But not wanting to pass out on the offer, I nodded and went upstairs to change my clothes. Hm. I decided not to look too skanky, nor too goody-two-shoes, so I went with a simple sleeveless pink knit top which made my waist look smaller, but showed cleavage. I had a tough time deciding between blue denim shorts or black skinnys, In the end, i decided to go with the blue denims in the end. I slipped on a pair of red vans and applied some eyeliner. Damn I looked hot, if I may say so myself. When I entered the lamborghini, his eyes widened. Typical.
As we stopped at a traffic-light, I looked over to Louis and found him staring down my top. For the third time. I nudged him playfully.
"Sorry, can't help it. I had no idea how hot you were under those sweatshirts."
I blushed. Once we reached the club, Louis flicked the keys to a valet. The valet winked and said 'New flavour of the week Tom?' DA FUG . what was that I supposed to mean?! Lou just grinned and said 'Ass, she's different.' The valet walked away, chuckling.
As we approached the entrance of the club, the bouncer took a glance at me and said, 'back of the line miss." I gaped, not knowing what to say. 'Its okay Jack, she's with me,' Louis said, resting his arm around my waist. As I walked into the club, many onlookers groaned. Some of them even said, 'But she's not even of legal age!' Oh bitch please, you are SO jealous.
It was a dim and loud place. Frankly I felt kind of lost. Then we saw Harry sitting by the bar with a couple of ladies purposely doing sexy moves to catch his eye. Lou and I approached him. Harry was one of my goodfriends, ever. I knew him ever since the X-Factor. He always had a mind thinking that I'd spread my legs last year. He glanced at me and said "planning to pop your cherry tonight Sasha?" I hit his arm playfully. Then Louis took a seat next to me and put a protective arm around me and scolded Harry for his insensitivity.
I smiled in gratitude until he said, 'And besides, if anyone is going to service Sasha for the first time, it should be me. I have better experience.'
I shrugged off his arm and flipped him off.
"That's right babe, I'm number one. You know you want me."
The boys laughed hysterically at their joke as I did my best to ignore them. Suddenly, a rythmic, fast-paced song played and everyone scattered on the dance floor. Everyone except Louis and
myself. I thought that I'd look silly if I tried too hard to do dirty dancing. Andrea would've prolly become the sexiest dancer there.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
"Sasha, I know we tease you about the whole losing virgitnity thing, but I want you to know that I'm there for you."
I smiled. "I know you've got my back Louis."
He looked stunned then let out a bark of laughter.
"What's so funny?"
"When I say I'm there for you Horan, I mean I'm there for you. I'm single, you're single, it could get pretty hot, don't you think?"
Aha, Louis was definitely drunk. I saw that he had finished 4 glasses of wine. No wonder.
"You make me so happy. Now it's time for me to return the favour. I'd be gentle, and I promise" - he grinned- "it wouldn't suck."
"Are you offering to take my v-status away?" I sputtered.
He gave me one of his lopsided smiles that made girls forgive him almost everything. "Come on, Sasha. You've never thought what it'd be like between us? Really?" well, I have. But not to be taken seriously.
"ummmm...." I said, biting my lip.
"Horan, I've been trying to get you naked since the summer before our first tour," he slurred. Yep, he wasn't aware of what he was saying.
He leaned towards me, placing his hand on my face. I hate to admit it, but I was more than a little intrigued at the turn of events. Half the female population waited with bated breath for Alyssa, his ex, to dump him so they'd have a shot. But he was offering himself. To me. Me?!
Suddenly, he backed away and said "Dont sweat it Sasha. Breathe. Its all good."
I was stunned. "you sure?"
"yeah. But if you ever change your mind, just holler. I'll come running," he said, embracing me tight.
I let him go but couldn't step away as he continued to hug me, even going so far as to run his hands down my back, pulling me closer to his chest, if that were possible. Realisation dawned too late.
"Uh, Louis? Are you copping a feel?"
He smiled devilishly and released me. "hell yeah. If I dont get to play with 'em, I atleast want to feel 'em," and then he fell into my arms. He got knocked out. I asked the bar-tender to get a large glass of punch before leaving. Then I felt dizzy. Harry approached me saying, "oh no. Did you drink too?" I shook my head. "was only punch... Louis... Head...dizzy..." I slurred, beginning to lose consciousness. "problem is, they spike all the drinks here." he explained, getting blurrier by the second.
Then, I'm pretty sure that I had my first Hangover.
I breathed heavily as i arrived home. I had to admit, Louis was a fast runner. Louis was on the front porch, gaping at me.
'Aw, do i look that bad?' I asked, looking at Lou's expression. Maybe my hair was messy. Maybe the hem of my dress tore abit. Oh no. 'you're really pale, and you're out of breath.' He said in a worried tone. Then, without warning, the whole world faded to black.
'Don't move,' a deep voice said.
I felt the bright light first, burning through my closed eyes, forcing me to turn my head away from the glare. As i moved, i felt a sharp pain searing through me.
'Sis, i know you're not big on following the rules, but when you're told to stay still, you might want to do as told.' I recognised the voice. It was Nialler's.
I blinked and swallowed. I looked up to see Niall dabbing a damp, small towel on my forehead and four pairs of eyes looking back at me. Liam, Andrea, Harry and Zayn all shared the same worried expression except for Louis, who was sound asleep at the end of the bed.
And then somehow I found the strength to say, "What happened?"
I didn't know what day or what time it was, but judging from their faces, I might've been pretty knocked out for a couple of days.
'He stayed up all night to look after you. He didn't know that you were prone to asthma,' Liam explained calmly.
'Then.... Where's Farysha and Natasha..?' I asked, my eyes scanning the room.
'They had to leave.... Urgent matters.' Zayn said flatly, as if he was hiding something from me.
'Umm.....okay...' I didn't know what to say so I just glanced down and clutched my duvet.
Suddenly, Louis rubbed his eyes and stretched. 'oh hey babe, i'm so glad you finally woke up.' he said. I giggled when he called me babe. Like a giggly, waggly girl. But wait, I bet he's said that to millions of girls before.
He slinged an arm around my shoulder. He seemed comfortable. Then Niall announced 'Liam, Andrea and I are gonna go to the supermarket. Lou, I'm trusting you to take care of her. Don't get too comfy, I've got eyes on you.' OH YES ! Some alone time with him, finally. As if he knew what my mind had said, he winked at me.
'I'm sorry. I promise to make it up to you. It was stupid of me to put you through that situation.' Louis said, while holding my hands. Shit. I hope that my palms won't start to sweat. I pouted, wanting him to comfort me more. And then, he did the most unexpected thing. Ever. He kissed me. Boy was it good. My first kiss turned out better than I had expected. His lips were warm and soft.
When he opened his eyes, he said 'let's go to Down Under.' It was a nightclub. Wait, I'm underaged. By 2 years. How the hell am I supposed to get in?! But not wanting to pass out on the offer, I nodded and went upstairs to change my clothes. Hm. I decided not to look too skanky, nor too goody-two-shoes, so I went with a simple sleeveless pink knit top which made my waist look smaller, but showed cleavage. I had a tough time deciding between blue denim shorts or black skinnys, In the end, i decided to go with the blue denims in the end. I slipped on a pair of red vans and applied some eyeliner. Damn I looked hot, if I may say so myself. When I entered the lamborghini, his eyes widened. Typical.
As we stopped at a traffic-light, I looked over to Louis and found him staring down my top. For the third time. I nudged him playfully.
"Sorry, can't help it. I had no idea how hot you were under those sweatshirts."
I blushed. Once we reached the club, Louis flicked the keys to a valet. The valet winked and said 'New flavour of the week Tom?' DA FUG . what was that I supposed to mean?! Lou just grinned and said 'Ass, she's different.' The valet walked away, chuckling.

Chapter 2 - another world
I woke up at 2pm the next day. Wow, the jet lag must've really kicked in. After refreshing myself, i wore a simple tee paired with shorts. Then, Andrea, Farysha and Natasha were practically gaping at me. "Why aren't you ready yet?" Andrea said. I shrugged. They all looked so fancy and all.
Natasha's outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/off_with_it_already/set?id=43095062
Farysha's outift: http://www.polyvore.com/cute_is_what_we_aim/set?id=38187414
Andrea's outfit: don't need to ask. She's a fashion designer-in-training, so obviously she'd pull off any piece of clothing she chooses.
And after a couple of hours going through my closet, they finally found a clothing, a dress in specific, for me to wear. Frankly, i hate dresses, but i don't mind trying out things once in a while. When the four of us came down the stairs, the boys were like "OH MY GOD" and i heard Harry whisper, "dude, she looks like your prom date." While the other lads chaperoned their girls respectively, Harry just smiled there while Louis whispered "good to go?" "yeah," i replied, trying to sound as normal as possible, cause i swear my heartbeat was loud enough for him to hear.
It was a 10-minute walk to the nearest Nando's, and since the boys didn't want to attract too much chaos with the 1D mobile, so we decided the inbetweeners way. While walking, he asked
"Soo...Sasha...do you have a certain reuirement in boys or something?" while putting his hands in his pocket.
"um, not really. as long as he has a sense of humour and cares for me, i guess he's okay. What type of girls do you like?" I asked, not wanting to end the conversation.
He smiled at the ground and muttered, "someone like you." I froze and found myself blushing. "w-what was that?" i asked, just to reconfirm his answer.
Before he could reply, we saw Niall giving Farysha a piggyback and shouting, "race ya to Nando's! Yeah buddie!" and sped off. Louis crouched down, signalling me to hop on, and we were off, head-to-head with Narysha. (a mash up name i created) . In the end, Zayn/Natasha won, followed by Louis and I , Narysha, Liam and Andrea and last but not least, Harry. It was an amazing night, we ate a whole feast, using Niall's black card, which was only offered to celebs who were regular customers of Nando's.
After dinner, we all headed back to my step-dad's home. When we were about to head-off, Snowflakes started falling onto the ground. Shoot, so much for looking pretty. Natasha was shivering. And zayn, being a really sweet and concerned guy, he whispered to her, "you alright babe?" concerned.
"yeah, it's just that i am-"
"no you're not. take his, i don't want you to be frozen by the time we get home," Zayn teased, and took off his varsity jacket and gave it to Natasha.
"noo, you'll fall sick you bradford boi!" Natasha said, while taking off his jacket.
"fine, then we'll share. Happy?" Zayn suggested.
Natasha nodded and the both of them walked away, happily.
The rest had already walked away, it was only me, Louis, and this dim one-way street. I tried to stop my teeth from chattering and i folded my arms.
Louis said, "umm... want my jumper?"
"No, thankyou." I replied. My mum always said to think about others before yourself.
"Well, we could always move on it you wear this sweater or we can stay here all night, freezing to death by morning." He said, smugly.
I thought for a while then said, "fine." He took off his jumper, revealing his six-pack abs. Once I put on the dark-blue and dark-green striped jumper, he exclaimed, 'Race ya home!' and stuck out his tongue.
'This guy, is W I E R D .' I thought to myself, and ran after that swagmasta from doncasta.
