Louis's Silver Charm [Finished] (One Direction / Louis Tomlinson fanfic)

4. Moving In

Silver had said goodbye to her parents very early that morning and had watched from the back seat of the car as her luggage was loaded into the car that the boys had sent for her. With promises made that they would talk at least every other day she said goodbye to her parents.

The ride down from Lancaster was a six hour journey and Silver occupied herself in the car with her books, I pod and the in car dvd system that had been provided. The back seats had even been converted so she was practically lying in a full size single bed. The driver stayed in constant contact with her through the intercom to check she was alright and she even managed to get some sleep in for part of the journey.

Clive, her driver announced they were nearly at her destination and Silver prepared herself for the next chapter in her life. She contemplated moving in with the hottest boy band around and how they were trying to help her get the use of her legs again. It made her heart swell when she thought of the chances they offered had offered her and she was not going to waste them, she would walk again and she would realise her dream of going to Oxford.

Silver was disturbed from her thoughts as the car slowly entered an underground parking garage that had very bright lights. She pulled herself back to reality and observed the surroundings of the concrete enclosure with fluorescent lights. The driver swiped a card and an automatic barrier lifted for the car the gain entry to the spacious garage.

There were several luxury cars parked in the garage and Silver mentally added up that there was over a million pounds worth of automobile parked right in front of her eyes. But it was the sight of the five grinning faces that really caught her eye as the car did a wide loop to stop in front of her five new roommates.

Silver composed herself as Harry opened the back door of the car and peeped inside. "Hi Silver, how was your journey" he enquired. "Very comfortable thank you" she replied whilst smiling at him. Harry suddenly disappeared quickly as Zayn pushed Harry out of the way. Zayn stepped inside the car and looked at Silver "Are you ready to see your new home" he asked. "I guess" she replied. Zayn assessed Silvers response and body language quickly and knew she was nervous about what lay before her. He knew that the best way to deal with this was to get her straight into the home so she could see where she would be staying for part of her recovery.

"I am going to carry you in if that is ok with you" he suggested. Silver nodded at Zayn and he carefully moved towards her and placed one arm under her legs and the other round her back. Silver looked down as he placed his firm grip around her body. As she was lifted off her seat Silver looked towards Zayns face and helped him manoeuvre her body by wrapping her arms around his neck.

As he exited the car all the boys stood smiling at her and grinned as Niall came towards her and gave her a key. "This is your key to the apartment and your new home beautiful" he said as he placed the shiny new key in her hand that was still wrapped around Zayn's neck. She smiled a smile of genuine thanks to Niall and looked towards the other three. Liam looked at her and smiled "We will bring your luggage, go and get yourself settled" he stated.

Zayn carried Silver in to her new temporary home with the complete tenderness you would lavish a new born baby with. He made sure he or she did not bump into anything as he carried her through the hallway and into the apartment complex. He gently lowered her to the sofa and made sure she was completely on the sofa before he removed his hold on her. She smiled at him as she took in her surroundings and removed her grip from around his neck.

The apartment was spacious, luxurious and homely all at the same time. Silvers observations were disturbed by the sound of the four lads bringing in her luggage and Silver smiled when she looked at Harry struggling with Bernard. He pushed the extra large teddy bear through the door and sighed, he looked around the room and dropped the teddy next to one of the white leather sofas.

After the teddy bear drama all five boys placed themselves around Silver. After several minutes of establishing that she was fine after her long journey and that she was not hungry Silver became a little anxious "where am I sleeping" she enquired. The boys all looked at each other and it was Louis who spoke first. "We have a room set up for you, it is on the ground floor so when you are more mobile again you can move around the apartment; can I show you" she replied with a smile and hooked her arms around Louis neck as he picked her up. She received a running commentary as he carried her around the whole apartment pointing out the kitchen, living room, dining room, games room, swimming pool and finally her bedroom.

Louis placed Silver in her large king size bed and she took in her surroundings. The downstairs room was decorated in a lilac and grey theme with all the accessories a girl could want. Full vanity with products and mirror, a walk in wardrobe with loads of space and a large bathroom fitted with all amenities. What caught Silvers eye was the wheelchair in the corner of the room "can I try the wheelchair please" she enquired. Louis looked across the room and walked across the room to retrieve the char. He wheeled it right next to the bed and stood back and watched Silver closely.

She pulled herself onto the edge of the bed and placed her hands on the chair. It was obvious to Louis she was using all her strength to pull herself into the chair and he resisted helping her. He realised she needed to do this and stood back so she could at least attempt the manoeuvre. Ever so slowly Silver managed to get herself placed in the chair and finally after a long few minutes was able to speak. "So why don't you give me the tour again, this time pushing me slowly" she gasped.

Louis smiled down at Silver with an intense look of admiration, getting into the chair had been really difficult but she had eventually managed it on her own. Independence was the key and Louis would never forget the scene he had just witnessed and was indeed privileged to have seen. Nobody else would ever know how much her independence meant to her but Louis would always consider this when he eventually asked her out on a date; and he promised himself someday he would do this.

She was the most exciting girl he had ever met; she was naive, beautiful and very unaware of the sexual attraction she exuded without really trying. Louis was captivated with her and he suddenly became determined that he would be with her.....................................................................................no matter what.
