Found her

Chapter 7 | One Direction

L U C A S

Sadie Parker is the dream.

While she sits in front of me, rambling about the pandas in Antarctica, I take a moment to admire the beauty sitting in front of me.

'-And I cannot believe that soon, pandas are going to be endangered.' Sadie finishes. I notice she cringes a bit before ushering out. 'I'm sorry, I talk too much, I-'

'No.' I interrupt her. 'I love listening to you talk.'

She blushes, and my heart clenches at how adorable she looks. 'Uh, wanna take a walk around the city?' I ask her.

Her eyes widen. I raise my eyebrows at her.

'Uh... Yeah, sure!' She grins and I can't help but smile too.

I pay, after an argument with Sadie about who's going to pay, then we leave. I walk towards my car and open the trunk. I pull out some sunglasses for Sadie and I, a racing jacket, and a face mask. I open the door for Sadie, and get in. I hand her a pair of sunglasses and the face mask. She gives me a questioning look.

'Paparazzi.' I reply simply, and she hums in acknowledgement. Once her face is sort of hidden from prying eyes, I put on my sunglasses and pull the hood of the racing jacket over my head.

'We look like idiots wearing sunglasses in the night.' Sadie says.

'Oh, shit right.' I take of her sunglasses and put a pair of black, round glasses on her eyes.

'Better?' I ask her. She glances herself in the mirror rear view mirror and shrugs.

'Remind me to never go out wearing my study glasses.'

I roll my eyes at her. She looks perfect and I will never remind her.

'Okey dokey, let's go.' I open the car door and step out. I walk to Sadie's side and open the door, only to find her laughing hysterically.

I give her a questioning look. 'You said okey dokey. No one says that.' She tells me.

Once she calms down a bit, I lead her towards the city. She's a very talkative girl.

'So, uh... where are we going?' She asks and I smile at her.

'Secret.' I reply and she groans.

'I hate secrets.' She mutters quietly. We keep walking until we reach the time square. Sadie keeps telling me about how great my show was.

'Sadie?'

'Mhm?'

'You are so beautiful.'

'Tunes? A music store? What are we doing here?'

'You ask too many questions.' I say, stepping into the store. The bell at the door dings and the girl at the counter looks up.

'Hello, welcome to Tunes. How may I help you?' She says in a chirpy voice.

I read her name tag, 'Uh...Mary-'

'It's Maria.'

'Yeah, whatever. We're just here to check the pianos.' I grab Sadie's hand and lead her towards the grand pianos. I gesture her to sit on the stool in front a big white one. 'Play something for me.'

She gapes at me. 'What, here?'

I nod. She shifts slightly in her seat, before placing her hands on the keys. She looks so professional that I can't help but take a video. She takes a deep breath before playing the piano skillfully. Then, she starts singing along.
