That's what makes you Beautiful Chapter 4

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound

Oooooooh Oooooooh

I sleepily rolled over and pressed the dismiss button on the alarm clock on my phone, I spent a few moments wondering why on earth I'd set my alarm that early, then it hit me SHIT! I sat bolt upright in pure terror, I had a 'date' with Louis Tomlinson today. I rushed out of bed and ran straight for the bathroom, I switched the shower and did my business whilst it warmed up I stripped off, balled up my clothes and threw them in the general direction of the laundry hamper, I celebrated football style when they went straight in. I climbed in the shower and allowed the scalding heat to wake me up, the water pelted my skin relaxing me completely and keeping me calm. I squirted generous amounts of my coconut body wash into my arms and washed myself thoroughly and shaved everywhere that needed to be done. I was just in the process of washing my hair when the door creaked open and Kat strolled I plonking herself down on the toilet seat. Anyone else would be weirded out by this but I had come to expect no privacy when dealing with Kat, I just turned my back to her and carried on washing my hair.

'On a scale of 1 – 10 how excited are you?' she squealed

'About a 5' I lied

'You're lying' she caught on quick 'You can't wait'

'I know, but I don't know how to feel, I don't know him and what if he doesn't like me'

'Franks, your gorgeous, how could he not like, just be yourself and don't be a bitch'

'Gee Thanks Kathleen' I laughed

'No problem baby cakes, now don't fuck this up, you're my ticket to Mr Styles'

'It's so nice to know you genuinely care' I said sarcastically she turned back from the door and sat on the edge of my bathtub.

'Of course I care babes, your my best friend and I can see the smile on your face when you think of him, you may have only known him a day or two but if there's something there then you can't deny it. And he must like you or why would he go to that much trouble?'

'I guess you're right, Thank Kat'

'There's not guessing about it, I am definitely right. Now hurry up and get your ass out of the shower I want one too' she laughed as she walked out of the door, leaving it wide open behind her. The draft from the open door sent shivers over my wet skin and I had to retreat further under the hot spray to keep warm eventually I stepped out of the shower wrapping myself in a plush towel and a fluffy bath robe. I padded back into my room to find a bacon bagel sitting by a hot chocolate on my vanity. I loved my best friend. I sat down at my Vanity trying to decide on what look to go for today, I eventually decided on my signature look. I applied my foundation and set it with a fine powder so my skin looked flawless; I carefully dotted concealer under my eyes to hide any blemishes. I brushed a thin layer of rosy blush on the apples of my cheeks and a light grey to my eyelids, I layered on my mascara and got ready to apply the main part of my make up, I opened up the liquid eyeliner and glided over my eyelid with ease, creating tiny little flick on the edges of my eyes. When I was fully satisfied I went to work on my hair, nothing too fancy, my curls didn't need any fancy flourishes. I let it dry naturally with the help of curl enhancing cream, I gathered the stands of hair that fell around my face and twisted them back, pinning them to the back of my head. I walked through to Kats room to find her applying her make up

'What do you think?' I asked her

'You look hot babes'

'You sure? it's not too much?'

'You look awesome'

'Thanks' I smiled at her approval

'Now enough about you' she turned around to face me holding up two bits of string in the air 'which thong will make my ass look better in those jeans' she said pointing to the jeans in question lying on her bed

'The pink one' I said as I walked out of her room laughing

I can always rely on Kat to put my mind at ease; she always knows what to say to make me laugh. I walked through to the kitchen and switched on the coffee machine and made myself a milky coffee before heading back to my room to pick out an outfit. I finally decided on my dark red high waisted skinny jeans and a thin strapped white vest top that showed just the perfect amount of cleavage. I teamed these with my black converse and my black leather wrist strap. I looked at the clock and was alarmed to see that it was half past 10. I rushed back through to the bathroom and thoroughly brushed my teeth before gargling with mouthwash and flossing. I carefully avoided dripping toothpaste on my shirt, and then I wiped my mouth and applied my dark red lip stain that matched my jeans perfectly. I walked back into my room and pulled on Louis' Hoody and grabbed my phone and shades and threw them into my bag. I at 10:45 I walked through to the lounge to find Kat bouncing around on the sofa with excitement, I knew that she had a shopping day planned and I had a feeling that she would be accompanying me down to the foyer just so she could get a glimpse herself. We left the apartment at exactly 10 I didn't want to be early and appear too eager. As we got into the lift the nerves kicked in, Kat kept assuring me there was nothing to be nervous about and took the time in the elevator to calm myself down. As the doors opened and we stepped out I instantly spotted him stood in the corner holding a red rose looking nervous. I froze where I was stood causing Kat to follow my gaze and squeal with excitement. She gave me a gentle push in his direction before darting round the front of me, kissing and me cheek and dancing out of the door towards the car park. As I slowly brought myself back to life his eyes connected with mine, his face broke into a grin and I instantly relaxed, I steadily walked towards him and he met me half way.

'I was starting to think you weren't going to turn up' he smiled his breath taking smile

'It's only 3 minutes past 10'I laughed

'So, I'm nervous'

'I was nervous too, but I feel a lot better now'

'Me too, it must be something about your beautiful face'

I started blushing profusely he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the huge glass doors

'Come on' he said pulling gently on my hand 'let's get out of here'

I followed behind him happily; he led me through to the car park and stopped in front of a midnight blue Porsche. My jaw hit the flaw and he laughed at my impression.

'Hey, when you're as famous and handsome as me you can own cars like this' he said cockily

'Wow, arrogance is such an attractive quality. NOT' I laughed back at him

He pretended to look hurt.

'Arrogance? I was just being honest. I'm joking in all fairness this beauty is just one of the many perks of the job'

'It certainly Is a beauty'

'Not as beautiful as its owner though right' he said with mock cockiness

'Not quite' I replied with a wink

'Well if you think I'm beautiful you should see the girl that's sat in the passenger seat right now' he said as he looked straight at me I started blushing again, but managed to mutter a quick thank you whilst glancing up at him through my lashes. He pulled out onto the busy streets of London and started whizzing down the back lanes and swerving around corners, we had been driving for quite a while before I bothered to ask him where he was going.

'Were going for something to eat' he answered back

'Ok, nothing fancy I hope, I'm really not dresses for anything fancy' I laughed

He took hold of my hand and glanced at me in between driving manoeuvres

'Don't worry, where we're going is anything but fancy'

I beamed at him and sat back in my seat listening to the songs on the radio and listening to Louis sing along, I was dying to sing along with him but I've always been scared of singing in front of people, I'm more of a bedroom mirror singer, which is strange really because I'm going to university to study Musical Theatre. Eventually we pulled up outside a little restaurant I looked at the name of the restaurant to see it was called Nando's . I should've known, this was my first time going to Nando's so I'll admit I was slightly dubious. Louis must of noticed the apprehensive look on my face because he took my hand in his and said

'Don't worry, the chickens to die for, I was apprehensive the first time Niall bought me here and now I'm hooked'

I smiled up at him

'Niall's the Irish one right'

'Yes, I'm insulted you didn't know that' he cried in mock heartbreak

I elbowed him in the ribs and laughed along with him

'I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan, but that's mainly because I was always more of a musical geek, my little sister however is probably the biggest One Direction fan ever, apart from her best friend Megan of course. It wasn't until my little sister gave me her CD when I got on the train here that I really listened and I have to give you credit. Your music's good' I stopped myself when I realised I was rambling

'I knew you weren't from around here, you sound like you're from Yorkshire, am I right?'

'You most certainly are, I'm from a little town called Doncaster'

When I said that Louis face lit up

'No fucking way!'

'What?' I said

'That's where I'm from too, I moved up here after things took off with the band'

'Wow small world' I laughed

We spent the next hour or so filling each other in on every aspect of our lives, I told him all about my little sister and her crazy friends and my family and Kat and he told me all about growing up and the band, after talking to him I felt like I might as well be a part of the band after Louis asked for the bill I pulled my purse out ready to pay half. Louis snatched my purse away from me and held it high above his head whilst he paid on his card, when the waiter went back to his station Louis handed me back my purse and I sulked silently in my chair like a child. Louis just laughed at me and pulled me out of my chair by the hand and led me outside, outside the restaurant he wrapped his arm around my shoulder kissed the top of my head before playfully pulling my curls. I finally stopped with the sulking and wrapped my arm around his waist smiling up at him that was when a group of young girl probably about 15/16 came running up to Louis asking for pictures and autographs. I grudgingly stepped back and took the mandatory pictures. There was no denying that he was cute with his fans, he posed happily for the pictures, however when they enveloped him in conversations her politely excused himself and wrapped his arm back around me and told them he was on a date. As we strolled back towards the car he asked me what I wanted to do next, we decided on taking a stroll round Camden Market. As we walked through the little stalls Louis well and truly spoilt me, every time something caught my eye before I could even think about taking my purse out of my bag he had already paid and was carrying it a plastic bag. I was ridiculously grateful and he was treating me like a princess. We came to a standstill outside an old fashioned little pub before walking over to some railing that overlooked the whole market; He took his hand and cupped my cheek pulling my face towards his, just as his lips were about to meet with mine we were interrupted by more fans screaming his name. He pulled away and looked at me sadly before turning around and dutifully greeting his fans with a plastered on smile. When they finally left he turned back to me raking his hands through his hair. The moment had passed and we both knew it. I smiled at him and grabbed hold of his hand pulling him back towards his car.

'Come on grumpy, we should probably be getting back'

'Yeah, you're probably right Harry will be going mental without someone to play him on Mario Kart' he said giving a little chuckle

'Well get driving then Mr'

I sank back into his seats again and let the radio fill the comfortable silence. I couldn't help but smile when a one direction song came especially when Louis sang along he looked at me as much as he could and there was no question of who he was singing too.

You're insecure

Don't know what for

You're turning heads when you walk through the door

Don't need make up

To cover up

Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it

Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell

You don't know

Oh Oh

You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know

Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful

Oh oh

That what makes you beautiful

So c-come on

You got it wrong

To prove I'm right I put it in a song

I don't know why

You're being shy

And turn away when I look into your eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it

Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell

You don't know

Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know

Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful

Oh oh

That's what makes you beautiful

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell

You don't know

Oh Oh

You don't know you're beautiful

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell

You don't know

Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know

Oh Oh

You don't know you're beautiful

Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful

Oh oh

That's what makes you beautiful

He sang the last part as we pulled into the apartment car park and we help eye contact for a few seconds before I noticed the crowd building outside the doors of the apartment. We emerged from the car park and I put my shades on to protect my eyes from the flashes that came from the fans camera. He took my hand and pushed our way through the crowd with the help of security. We made it inside and stepped into the busy elevator, as we came to Louis floor we said a quick goodbye and kept it to a minimum with just a hug to prevent any awkwardness with the other people in the lift. As the doors closed on Louis' face I let out a sigh and continued up to my floor. AS I reached my door I fumbled around in my bag for my keys only to realise that I had left them on the kitchen counter on the other side of the door. I rang Kat to see where she was, she told me that she was stuck in the London rush hour traffic and wouldn't be home for at least another hour. I only had one other choice. I got back in the elevator to the floor below and gently knocked on Louis' door. After a few seconds the door was opened by a baby faced boy with a mad array of curls that were sticking out at every angle.

'You must be Frankie?' he said with a grin

'Erm, yeah and you must be Harry?' I replied

'Yeah'

'I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm locked out of my apartment and my roommates not home..'

He cut me off,

'Well Louis' in the shower but you can come in and chill on one condition..'

I raised an eyebrow and said 'yes?'

'Can you play Mario Kart?' he asked in all seriousness

'As a matter of fact I happen to kick ass on Mario Kart' I retorted.

His face broke into a cheeky grin very similar to Louis' and he pushed the door open wider inviting me in. I walked past him eager to see what their apartment looked like, it was strangely tidy for an apartment belonging to boys. Harry invited me down onto the couch and handed me the controller, the game began instantly, and true to my word I was kicking his ass.

'He really likes you'

I froze instantly causing Harry to overtake me, I punched him on the arm causing him to drop the remote. We were sat laughing together when Louis walked out in shirtless in just sweatpants. He seems alarmed at the sight of me in his apartment. Seeing without a shirt seemed to make me lose all ability to speak. Harry soon filled him on the situation so we could spend the next hour laughing together on the sofa whilst I beat Harry again and again and again. It was in this time that I found out that the boys had been given a month off and were not scheduled to return to the studio until September, the same week that I started university. When Kat finally rang me I grudgingly left the boys apartment and met Kat in the elevator.

Once inside she made us both a cup of tea and we settled down on the sofa so I could tell her all about my date with Louis, I even told her all about the interrupted kiss and kicking Harrys' ass on Mario Kart. I decided to send Louis a quick text telling him that enjoyed the date and instantly received a reply

Hey, I really enjoyed today as well princess. What are you doing tomorrow? X

I quickly typed back a reply

Nothing that I know of why? X

About 5 minutes later my phone buzzed again

I'll see you later then ;) x

I ignored the later and just presumed he meant tomorrow. I walked down the corridor into my room and changed into my sleepwear, short shorts and a tank top. After watching a film with Kat on the sofa I grew tired and decided to head to bed, just as I walked past the door I heard gentle guitar music playing from outside. I looked at Kat with a puzzled expression and moved towards the door, I looked through the spyhole and couldn't see anything. I opened the door and poked my head around the door. There sat just out of sight was Louis with his guitar, as I stepped outside my door he started singing gently

I keep playing inside my head, all that you said to me

I lie awake just to convince myself this wasn't just a dream

'Cause you were right here and I should have taken the chance

But I got so scared and I lost the moment again

It's all that I can think about, oh, you're all that I can think about

Is your heart taken? Is there somebody else on your mind?

I'm so sorry, I'm so confused

Just tell me, am I out of time?

Is your heart broken? How do you feel about me now?

I can't believe I let you walk away when

When I should have kissed you

I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you

I felt my eyes well up halfway through the song and as he said the last line he dropped his guitar and grabbed me around the waist pushing against the wall and crushed his lips to mine caressing my bottom lip with his tongue, I could feel the urgency and the emotion behind the kiss and I felt myself melt into the kiss after what felt like an eternity in heaven we were interrupted by a small giggle coming from inside the door. We broke away to see Kat stood in the doorway with a coy grin. I looked up at Louis and smiled shyly

'Do you want to come in?' I asked gently

'If you don't mind' he answered back looking me directly in the eye

We walked hand in hand into my apartment bypassing a grinning Kat and headed straight for my bedroom

'Don't do anything I wouldn't do' Kat shouted behind us 'Not that that would limit you' she added as an after thought

'Perv' I shouted back to the sound of her laughter

We stepped inside my room carefully shutting the door behind me, the second the door was closed I found myself pinned against it by Louis' strong body, he pressed his lips against mine again only this time the urgency had gone and was replaced with even more emotion. I asked Louis to spend the night and he more than happily agreed, I was already dresses for bed and after brushing my teeth I crawled into my bed and watched Louis remove his clothes climb into bed with me in his boxers. I turned out the light and gave Louis one more kiss before cuddling into my duvet, only to feel Louis' arm snaking around my waist pulling close to his chest, so close I could feel his heartbeat perfectly in time with mine. I fell asleep to the lullaby of our synchronised heartbeats.
