Says a few cuss words.

*you have just moved to america to be in enola holmes 3, you walk into your first day on the job. the table read. you were really nervous*

Millie: hi you must be y/n! welcome!

*she gets up and shakes your hand*

*Louis gets up and looks you up and down*

Louis: hi nice to meet you I am Louis, Louis Partridge

*he shakes your hand and stares you in the eyes*

Millie: okay everyone we're just going to read through a couple scenes through today!

y/n: hey uh millie when do we start filming? I was just thinking.

Millie: in two days

*you are sitting by millie across from louis*

y/n: okay!

*you all start reading through scenes. when it got to your turn louis wouldn't stop looking at you.*

*he smiles*

Louis: can we stop for a second?

*you look at millie to see if you should stop*

*millie grabs and throws a pen at louis's head*

Millie: do not interrupt Louis

Louis: fine! but i just thought y/ns character and tewkesbury should have direct eye contact in this scene. And that hurt!

*he smiles at you*

*you felt less nervous with louis*

y/n: no no actually i agree 

*you smile at him*

Louis: carry on then

*he keeps eye contact with you. you stare him dead in the eyes as you read the script*

*3 hours passed by, you have read through some of the scenes*

Millie: okay thank you everyone for coming! see you all in a couple days. Now go and get good rest.

* you go outside and fumble on your phone, louis walks up next to you*

y/n: do you know a cab number?

Louis: do you need a ride? If you do i can give you a ride.

Louis: then where did you sleep then

*he laughs and smiles*

y/n: i still have a mattress, but you are going to help me lift it because you look strong 

*you grabbed his arm and pull him to the bedroom*

Louis: wow you think i am strong how kind

*he says sarcastically *

*you felt like you were already good friends with Louis*

*30 minutes later the bed was made and you had moved to the kitchen to unpack*

Louis: y/n tell me about yourself

y/n: like what

Louis: anything

y/n: well i am 18, i have an older sister, i left school early and i am allergic to peanuts

Louis: you are allergic to peanuts

*he laughs*

y/n: yes now shut up

Louis: so you left school early?

y/n: yes i did, i left in the year twelve and went to acting school and auditioned for enola holmes and got it. so i moved here

Louis: wait so you moved here alone? at 18?

*you bpth kept unpacking boxes*

y/n: well technically 17

Louis: 17! sh*t i only just moved out and i am 19! i do not know how you are doing it

y/n: well it has been hard not being with my family and friends but i will be fine

* you tear up a tiny bit*

y/n: okay change of topic what is it like on set

Louis: entertaining since millie is one of the producers she probably changes more things than we actually film. It is funny though

y/n wow sounds fun

*it is now 6pm and you and louis had unpacked the apartment apart from your bedroom*

*louis sits on your couch*

Y/n: drink?

Louis: yes of course what have you gotten?

y/n: well not much

*you laugh*

y/n Lemonade

Louis: of course

*you get them and sit on the couch*

*louis looks you dead in the eyes*

Louis: y/n i know we only just met. yesterday but can i ask why you started to tear up talking about your family and friends. Is everything alright?

Y/n: well as soon as i left i had new zealand i got 3 texts from my 3 close friends all saying they could not be my friends anymore 

Louis: that is horrible i am so sorry, did they have a valid reason actually i do not think there is a valid reason to do that to someone.

*he moved closer to you and put his hand on your leg to comfort you*

*you started to tear up again*

y/n: well i decided not to open the texts as i did not want to ruin my mood. but in reality my mood is already ruined by just seeing the start of those messages.

*couple of tears roll down on your cheeks*

Louis: i really hope that you do not find this weird

*he hugs you*

* after a minute he lets go*

y/n: no actually i really needed that thank you

Louis: okay, you like pizza. i am going to order pizza

*he tries to lighten the mood*

Y/n: i will pay you have been here helping me all day

Louis: no i chose to be here and you just moved here i am paying i insist

*at 10 louis went home, you fell asleep on the couch as you were tired as hell. the next day you barley did anything except text louis, you fell asleep early as you had to be on the set the next day.
