Take Me As I Am (Completed)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Dedication to XLoveMeDooX, because she was the first to guess correctly where Louis' group was going! :)

Chapter Twenty-Three.

I was extremely skeptical on where we were going, especially after we were informed that we absolutely, positively, must remember our swimsuits. That really couldn't be good, now could it? Especially since, if you couldn't tell, I don't touch bikinis with a ten foot pole. So I had managed to find my one piece and my board shorts, already anticipating the 'oh my god, are you a nun?' comments.

I had managed to only use the pool in our house when all the annoying girls were gone.. And mostly at night when no one else would go outside. 

I wasn't exactly looking forward to my 'date' with Louis. Sure, he was fun.. But Talia and Teresa were over the top fangirls. They were obsessed with the fact that they were currently on a TV show with 'the boys.' You could tell from the way they talked, they didn't quite believe that the boys were really there. They assumed everything they had read in magazines and saw in interviews were all completely true. They were obsessed to the point where they honestly knew nothing about the boys.

Sure enough, the two girls were dressed in stripes and carrying carrots when I arrived downstairs for our departure. I questioned what made One Direction fans think Louis was obsessed with carrots. I could ask, but I'd much rather not. 

I stayed quiet as Louis herded us outside, quite resembling a sheepdog. Talia immediately asked if we were going somewhere where carrots were. Louis shook his head and I swear I saw him grimace. We continued out to the limo, and jeez.. Always a limo. We weren't on The Bachelor, so why did we need a pancaking limo every single time? That was something to look forward at home. No limo service.

"Where are we going?" Teresa inquired as she adjusted herself in the limo.

Since there were only two of them, they each positioned themselves on each side of him.. basically trapping him between the two. I almost felt bad for him. Almost.

I mean, they were sweet girls. They probably couldn't harm a fly, unless it was by accident. Which was what I was afraid would happen with Louis. They wouldn't purposefully hurt him, I knew that much. They might suffocate him, but it'd be an accident.

"We're going to Alaska," he replied without hesitance.

"Wait.. Really?" Talia scrunched her eyebrows up, a determined thinking expression scattered across her tan face. She seemed to be trying to figure out where Alaska was.

"Yes. We're going to visit Santa and his elves," Louis continued, a smile cracking. 

We made eye contact and his expression told me to keep silent. But I don't listen to people, bad habit.
