Ch. 2 inspiration
must read- in the UK when we say town me mean like a mall or something, its like a shopping centre.
I don't know if I should be going with Louis, were on a bus and I'm slightly worried because I don't think Louis really knows where he's going.
"hey Louis, do you know where were going?" he looks at me, he was looking out the window it was a little awkward at first.
"well I know this bus takes us into town, and I thought we could look around until you find your inspiration" I think its nice that he's helping me to find inspiration.
"but I think we should go for ice-cream first" he smiles at me with that cheeky grin again and it makes me feel like I'm on cloud nine.
"i completely agree with that statement" he said all posh like.
The rest of the bus ride was just banter and him pointing out statues and me telling him what the story is behind them. We got off the bus it wasn't that busy in town considering it was a Thursday. I was grab Louis arm and was dragging him to lulu's, the best ice-cream place ever.
"the place looks nice, real 50s look" Louis said.
"i love this place I come here every time I'm in town" he just smiled at me.
We walked up to the counter where lulu sat, she's in her 60s and looking pretty good for sixty.
"hey lulu" she looked up at me and smile once she saw it was me her smile got wider when she saw me with Louis.
"what would you like dears? Well you'll be wanted your usual, Rose" Lulu and Louis laughed I just blushed.
"well i'll have what Rose is having" I look at him.
"you sure, you don't even know what it is" I feel like this is a date but that would be weird right I mean he's just helping me with my project that's all.
"yes, I'm sure"he smirked. I usually loath smirks but his just gave me weird feelings in my stomach.
"how 'bout you go get a table" I turned to Louis giving him my full attention.
"sure love" he walked off to get a table. Its not that lulu's was overly busy, just a needed breath space, I don't know what it was but I felt drawn to Louis, his cheeky smile, the way he made me laugh, his enchanting blue eyes...
my train of thought was interrupted when lulu spoke up.
"he's a keeper" she said eyeing Louis, who was suddenly interested in the wallpaper.
"oh, no... were not dating, were just friends...well he's my brothers friend he just moved here today" she did that coy smile she always did when she knew something I didn't.
"well here you go dear, and if you don't want him then don't be a bitch when other girls do" that's what I loved about lulu, full of advice but has an attitude of a teenager.
I walked over to wear Louis was.
"well lulu's nice" he stared straight into my eyes and I felt like I was going to fall over.
"yeah I've known her for years, well here you go" Louis looked at the ice-cream I gave him he looked at it then back at me.
"what even is in that" I laughed that is what all my friends say when they see what I have ordered.
"chocolate ice-cream,caramel ice-cream, strawberries and toffee sauce all blended together to make a milk shake, try it" he picked up the glass slowly eyeing me a few times before putting it on his lips, I never really noticed before but his lips are quite pink compared to other guys lips, they are also quite plum for a guys but somehow he worked it.
He took a breath then took a big gulp of my special drink. He had his eyes shut tight, then he started to relax (because the taste is so amazing), he licked his lips but still had his eyes closed. He did not know what he just did to me. A heat began in between my legs and a weird feeling at the bottom of my stomach, I felt a blush bless my cheeks and that was the moment that Louis decided to open his eyes, his smile was breath-taking.
"wow that was amazing however did you come up with something this good?" his eyes showed his excitement they seemed to be more brighter than they were before but then I dawned on me, I had to tell him how I know about this drink... the mood changed after that.
"well my best friend found out about this place when we were 5 and we came here everyday, as we got older she decided to get a job here and she started to experiment with ingredients, she gave me this when we were 15, I had the exact reaction you had..." he seemed to sense my unhappiness with this subject so didn't ask any more questions.
Once we had finished up at Lulu's I said goodbye and we left to explore the town. We went by art shops after art shops but nothing caught my eye and usually something does, my dad always says I have an eye for perfection. We were In the middle of town we had been out for an hour and a half we should really be going home, harry is going to be so mad when I get back. I was about to suggest we go home when Louis turned round to me and shouted.
"i know exactly where your going to get inspiration, I've been meaning to get a new one anyway" he grabbed my hand again, it felt warm and it seemed to send tingles up my arm.
"where are we going Louis?" he just laughed and continued on running. "do you even know where you are going?" he looked back at me.
"yeah of course I do, trust me a little would ya love" he smiled again and swear I melted inside.
We arrived at a tattoo parlour. My dad warned me never to go in one because once you get a tattoo is drugs, alcohol and under-aged sex. So I couldn't believe that Louis had taken me there. He looked down at me surprised to see a dreaded look on my face.
"what's wrong never been in one before?" he could read me like a book couldn't he.
"well my dad said never to go in one or get a tattoo ever its like a rule" he looked at me like he wanted too laugh, great there I go showing him that I'm just his friends little sister.
"but harry has tattoos?" yes but harry and my dad don't really get on and harry would do anything that looks cool.
"yeah he doesn't really follow the rules" he laughed at that.
"well how about I get one and you watch maybe look at some of the designs?" he had this look on his face that I couldn't say no to.
"okay but if I get caught I am so blaming this all on you" he chuckled but he did not know how serious I was. I'm daddy's little girl because him and harry have never really gotten on and I'm like the perfect daughter I have to always be a perfect daughter, do the dishes, help with anything, never talk back and NEVER ever break the rules but here I am breaking the rules because some boy has asked me to, if only Taylor could see me know.
We went inside, Louis went in with swag but I went in following like a lost puppy. Louis started talking to the receptionist, I didn't really look at her but I could here Louis flirting with her but it didn't bother me or anything it's not like he is my boyfriend or anything. Louis turned back to me.
"i'll be about 20 mins, you okay here on your own till then" he looked generally concerned.
"i'll be fine Louis" he forced a smile but he left anyway.
after 2 minuets of sitting I got up and started looking at the tattoo designs, they look pretty cool. There was hearts, stars, quotes and all sort of things. I looked around for about 10 minuets then I saw it, Chinese writing It looked lovely I don't know what it ment so I asked the receptionist.
This was the first time I had gotten a good look at her. She was beautiful , she was very tall and had dark blonde hair that came out in waves around her, her eyes were a warm brown but what I was most staring at was her tattoo she had a random pattern taking up a quarter of her face, it started at the left side of her forehead and came down over her left eye, round her cheek bone (which was perfect no wonder Louis was flirting with her if she was a nice person I would probably turn for her), a few centimetres away from her lips and followed the line of the chin back to her hair line and it was all black and with her pale completion it looked beautiful though I could never pull it off.
"would you like a tattoo?" she asked rather bored I guess I had been staring too long.
"oh no I was just admiring yours" she seemed to smile at that.
"you really like it, I got it down yesterday and I have been really nervous about you know its kind of like I have Emo written on my face" seriously she felt self-conscious.
"i didn't think that when I saw it, I saw how much courage you had to get it down, I've never even had a tattoo" this girl actually is really nice I bet she just thinks everyone is there to judge her.
"well thanks, would you like one I saw you looking at the love one" what?
"no I was looking at the Chinese lettering what does it mean" she burst out laughing.
"it means love" oh I felt a bit silly.
"i would really like it on the bottom of my back but my dad would kill me" she shrugged her shoulders like 'what can you do'.
"well if you ever want one, just come around and i'll fix you up"
"thanks i'll keep that In mind".
Louis walked back in, I was excited to see what he got. A.N- this is not Louis real tattoo I just saw the one with birds and added a saying with it okay so no directioners biting my head off.
"hey love, wanna see what I got" Louis rolled up his sleeve and put his arm in my face. I saw little black birds all flying and a little quotation at the bottom, 'you take me to the sky'. It was cute and I bet it had a meaning behind it.
"come one we gotta go, we've been out for 2 hours and your brother is gonna freak" I hadn't realised we had been out for so long. Its now 7 o'clock meaning mum was going to be home in about 20 or more minuets.
We jumped on the first bus and made it home before my mum but we still had the wrath of my brother to face.
We walked in to find him asleep with Emily on the couch with his arm around her.
" I say we don't wake them up" Louis looked at me like I was insane.
"would you like to be shouted at by my brother, he may not like the rules but he I very protective about me, go home and I'll start painting" he smiled when I said I would paint.
"you found your inspiration?" he looked confused I forgot he wasn't there when I saw her.
"yeah but you don't get to see it until tomorrow" he scoffed.
"well I guess this is good bye" I wonder how Louis was getting home.
"eh... Louis how are you getting home, wait where do you live" he smirked.
"ah I guess we both have secrets i'll tell you tomorrow where I live and you need to show me your painting" he gave me these eyes and I couldn't say no.
"fine go before my mum gets home" he did a salute and got out of the house.
I went up to my room to paint. I'm kind of nervous about showing Louis my painting what if it isn't good enough.
well If you want to know what happened between harry and emily get ask in a review and the next chapter we get Louis view yay!
-lol
