"you're what?!" julie scoffed, waving her hands in the air.

"auditioning for stranger things," i repeated. i yawned a little too since we spent all day yesterday visiting tourist spots.

walking in the living room, "that's awesome y/n!" noah said.

"wait, how?" julie asked abruptly, 

i raised an eyebrow at her words, "uhm, millie and noah schnapp asked me if i wanted to audition and i said yes?" i said slowly,

she looked like she was about to roll her eyes but instead nodded her head quickly.

she's been acting a little odd since we arrived in london, especially when i met louis. she couldn't possibly still be bothered by me and him when she's dating noah now.

"anyways, what's up with you and louis?" she asked,

"we're friends," i replied plainly, which was my response every time she asked, except this time i smiled a little.

"right," she murmured, getting up from the couch and sitting on the dining table beside noah, who placed food on the table.

"can we watch a movie tonight?" noah asked. he poked at his breakfast with his fork as he looked at me and julie. 

"sure," i nodded, and so did julie. i got up from where i was sitting and sat opposite noah on the table. we all ate breakfast, occasionally talking but most of the time i was just on my phone while julie and noah talked.

"uhh, i'm finished with my food. i'm gonna go somewhere," i excused myself, getting up from my seat.

"where?" julie asked, 

"um, just somewhere with louis," i muttered, she glared at me.

"can you be home before 7pm?" noah asked. i nodded in response and went to my room.

picking out a good fit took me nearly 20 minutes, but i really like it.

putting my phone in my shoulder bag, i put on my colorful airforces and put on light makeup in front of my small vanity. 

i heard the doorbell ring after a bit, must be louis. i looked outside the window and it had started to drizzle. 

"y/n! your boyfriend's here!" julie yelled, knocking on my door. i rolled my eyes and walked outside, passing her and going to open to door.

"boyfriend?" louis asked, as the door swung open.

"no," i shook my head simply, "julie, he's not my boyfriend," i scoffed. she nodded and sat on the sofa, going on her phone.

walking outside, i closed the door to our apartment. 

"you told her i'm your boyfriend?" louis asked casually as we started to walk to the elevator.

"no? no!" i replied embarrassedly, "she's just teasing," 

"alright," he chuckled, pressing the buttons on the elevator.

"m'lady," he bowed jokingly, opening the door of his car.

"thank you m'lord," i giggled. i got into his car as he ran to the other side, sitting in the driver's seat. we drove to the same spot we first had our first "date" nearly a month ago and it brought back a bunch of happy memories.

"i like your outfit, by the way," he complimented me, keeping his eyes on the road.

"thank you," i smiled,

"here we are!" he said excitedly, i looked around and tried to open the door handle, before louis ran outside the car and opened it for me, making me laugh.

i helped him set up the picnic blanket, putting the picnic basket down on the grass as i sat beside him.

"i baked brownies for you," louis boasted, taking the picnic basket and grabbing a box with chocolate brownies inside.

"ooo yum," i smiled as he handed me a piece. we continued talking  just like before,

"so, how's life treating ya?" he asked me with his mouth full of food.

"uh, pretty okay. i mean, i got really lucky that first of all i even get to go to london, and yanno i met you! millie bobby brown, noah schnapp, it's crazy," i said in awe, louis nodded in understanding and took the last bite out of his brownie. 

"yea, i get it." he chuckled, as i layed on my head slightly on his shoulder, positioning my arms on either side.

"i'd consider myself pretty lucky too," he mumbled,

"why is that?" i asked the boy, 

"because," he said, "i met you," 

my stomach was filled with butterflies at his statement. a lot of butterflies, did he really mean that? did i mishear him?

"w-what?" i stuttered. i heard him chuckle softly at my confusion.

"i'm lucky," he pronounced again, pointing at me, "because i met you,"

i felt the heat rush to my cheeks, making me look flustered. 
we looked at each other for a few seconds and he gave me a shy smile.

"really?" i half-whispered.

"yes, you idiot," he rolled his eyes.

i let out a sigh and took a drink out of a bottle of water louis brought. i watched him scramble through the picnic basket placed in front of us. 

we sat there and continued talking, playing games and eating.

"no! i've always thought you looked pretty. like when we met at the hotel? my friend was there and he convinced me to go talk to you and play the piano, for you." louis admitted and looked up at me, laying down on his back while i sat up beside him.

a big smile formed on my face as i felt my heartbeat get faster. 

"oh! thank you," i said, once i realized i hadn't replied to his sentence. he laughed awkwardly as i played with my hair.

i looked down at him and smiled, did i mention how cute he was with his hair all messy lying down like that?

he smiled back at me and giggled softly. 

"y/n," he whispered after a short silence, 

"yea?" i replied,

"can i be honest with ya again?" louis asked,

"course," 

"i really wanna kiss you right now," he bit his lips and stared at my e/c orbs.

when i tell you i died right then and there, i mean it. i felt my cheeks heat up and turn a light shade of red. no, this must be a dream.

i smiled uncontrollably, never once breaking our eye contact. he giggled lightly and shrugged awkwardly since i realized i hadn't replied to his statement. 

oh, fuck it. 

i leaned in and he did the same, his soft lips connecting with mine as an indescribable feeling went throughout my body. louis licked my bottom lip and i felt the picnic blanket shift in position as louis rested his hand on my cheek, his other hand intertwining with mine which was resting on the grass. 

i pulled away, slowly catching my breath, louis doing the same. 

"you use strawberry chapstick?" 

"i- yes?" i mumbled, "you noticed?" 

louis nodded in response,

"is it a bad thing?" i asked him, he quickly shook his head and giggled.
