Little Lady// LT

Char was major fan-girling a few steps away as I just stood there and cocked an eyebrow.
"Say, hi!" Fiona ordered, a bit harsher this time. I waved awkwardly but they weren't having that! The one that she said was Louis came forwards and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Hello love. I'm Louis" he mumbled in my ear. My arms stayed by my side. Then he let go, gave me a warm smile and moved away. They all did that except Harry. He grabbed one of my hands and kissed the back of it softly.
"Styles, Harry Styles" he greeted me so casually. I frowned for a moment so he let go and moved away. I turned and gave Fiona a pained look over my shoulder but she just ignored it.
"Let's sit down!" Mike suggested instantly. Everyone agreed and went to sit down at the closest booth. I made sure that I was at the end because I hate being too close to people. I was next to Fiona who was still talking about anything and everything. I put my iPod back on and listened to Emeli Sande, Read All About It, quietly. I held it on my lap and kept my head down as I went through my playlists, deleting anything that I don't listen to and stuff like that. After a while Fiona interrupted me again.
"Kathy. You have to order" she informed me.
"I'm not hungry" I replied casually, glad that nobody else noticed.
"Then you shouldn't have eaten at breakfast!" she snapped quietly. "Please. Have something!" she began begging. "Just today! Just a salad! Please!" she continued until I caved. I had failed to notice the waiter that was stood there until he called on me.
"What would you like Miss?" he asked flirtatiously. I cleared my throat lightly.
"Can I have a small salad with diet coke please?" I requested quietly. He winked at me, wrote it down and then continued with the others. I probably wouldn't eat much of it anyways so it wouldn't matter. I then turned back to my iPod and Little Bird came on. I smiled weakly and let it play all the way through. I bobbed my head gently as Ed sang about a chicken with a broken leg. I found it funny for reasons that are unknown to me. I shouldn't be amused by a dying chicken..... oh well. I mouthed the lyrics silently but was interrupted again. I pulled out one ear-piece to glare slightly at Fiona.
"I can hear that!" she complained.
"You're supposed to. That means I can't hear you" I replied nonchalantly before putting my ear-phone back in and listening to the end of the song. Char does have some great timing. At the song change, she spoke to me.
"Hands above the table please!" she requested, directly at me. I looked at her innocently so she repeated it. I slowly lifted my hands and rested them on the table, iPod still playing. Then How You Remind Me started. I dropped my gaze and smiled weakly. I don't know why I like this song. About half-way through the song, our drinks came. I moved my hands out of the way for him to put my drink down and then ignored it. I would have it later, when I was trying to eat. Suddenly my hands went cold and there was a pulling at my ears. My ear-phones fell out and I realized that someone had snatched away my iPod. Bitch! I looked up to see Fiona tucking it into the shoulder strap on her dress.
"Fiona!" I whined.
"Yes Kathy?" she asked innocently. A few people turned to watch.
"You can't just steal my iPod!" I claimed.
"You shouldn't have been listening to it at the table! It's rude!"
"And snatching isn't?" I demanded. She glared at me before turning away. Bitch. I lifted my left hand towards her and pulled it from her shoulder. She gasped as I pulled away, victorious. I paused the song and wrapped my head-phones around the Ipod after locking it.
"Kathy! You can't just do that!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yet, I still did" I retorted, pretending to put it into my hand-bag and sitting on my handbag.
"Kathy! That was very inappropriate!" Mike agreed with her.
"So?" I picked up my drink and sipped it momentarily. It was quite nice. I put the glass down and turned to see the two of them glaring at me.
"How come if I did that, I'd get a slap but she doesn't?" Louis asked casually from the other side/end of the table. Niall burst out laughing and the others turned to see why.
"Because you are a guy and not related to her" I stated, giving the couple my best innocent face. They eventually stopped glaring and turned back to everyone else.
"What did she do?" Jay asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter. What were you saying before?" Fiona changed the subject.
"I wasn't! I was just listening to Harry talking about something" Jay claimed.
"I'm hungry!" Niall suddenly whined.
"You're always hungry" Liam patted the top of his head like he was a dog so he stuck his tongue out at the side and began to pant. Everyone but me laughed but it stopped quickly. So did he. They all began talking again so I secretly got my iPod out again and put in my right ear-piece so that Fiona wouldn't know. Fuck You by SLeeping With Sirens came on making me grin. I prefer this to the original.
"Kathy, who did your hair?" Phoebe asked softly. I looked at her in surprise.
"I did" I answered, just as quietly.
"Really? It's really pretty!" she commented.
"Thank you! You're really pretty as well" I replied. She blushed but clapped anyways.
"Thank you! You're beautiful!" she claimed. My jaw fell open and I was speechless. I've never been called beautiful before. Never.
"Wha-a- thank you" I stuttered. She frowned.
"What's wrong?" she sounded so cute.
"We-I-I've never been called beautiful before" I admitted sheepishly. Everyone went silent.
"Did I just hear you right?" Lottie demanded. I dropped my head and the song ended, changing to Sexting by BOTDF. I was not going to listen to that song in here. I quickly unlocked my iPod, ignoring everyone and changed it.
"Kathy! Put that away!" Fiona snapped. I put it on the table and turned back to Lottie.
"Depends what you heard" I replied awkwardly.
"Did you just say that you've never been called beautiful before?" she rose her eyebrows making me look away.
"Yeah .... why?" I couldn't look at her.
"Bull-shit!" Harry interrupted making me grin slightly.
"Harry! No swearing!" Jay insisted.
"Sorry Jay! But it's true!" he pointed out. I kept my gaze on the ceiling a few meters away.
"I have to agree. You've got to be joking!" Liam agreed. I shook my head mechanically and realized what I was listening to. For The Love Of A Daughter. I picked up my iPod again and put my playlist on shuffle before clicking next. Gaybar came on making me grin. I'm not listening to that either. I was about to next it but Fiona unplugged the earphones and took it away from me. Luckily the music stops when you take out the head-phones.
"Hey!" I complained as she held it away from me.
"It's rude to listen to that when you're at the table!" she repeated.
"It's rude to snatch full stop!" I argued. Someone chuckled.
"What are you even listening to?" she asked, about to play it.
"Don't! If you play that then I think it will embarrass you more than it will me!" I warned her.
"Why?"
"I wasn't aware you wanted to go to a gaybar" I replied casually, sitting up straight. Everyone went silent again.
"What?" I could hear the laughter that Niall was trying to hide.
"I beg your pardon!" Fiona's voice was already shrill.
"Pass it here" I ordered. She slowly passed it back and I took a strong grip on it. Then I pressed play. I let it play for about five seconds before pausing it and turning off the whole thing. The boys were howling with laughter, the couple were digusted, Jay was giggling and the girls were all confused.
"Why would you want to go to a gaybar?" Char asked incredulously.
"To meet more gay people" Lottie suggested. They shrugged it off and the lads took their time to calm down. Fiona was glaring at me, Mike was just disgusted and Jay was still giggling.
"Why is that on your iPod?" Zayn demanded through his laughter. My smile faded instantly.
"Um ..... Sam put it on there" I claimed quietly.
"Who's Sam?" Char asked casually. I dropped my head.
"He was a friend" I muttered. Yeah, five years ago. She went silent.
"Oh" was all she could finish with. She knows what happened.
"I'm assuming he was gay" Louis interrupted. I gave a ghost of a smile.
"Yeah, he was about as straight as a roundabout" I continued softly. I could practically hear his grin. Then three waiters came back, holding three dishes each. They came back again and I noticed that some people had two plates. They all began their own conversations and eating and stuff, really happily. I sat there awkwardly, staring down at the plate of salad that I wasn't going to eat. I took another sip of my drink but didn't touch my food.
"Kathy, you need to eat" Fiona insisted.
"I'm not hung-"
"Kathy! Why haven't you touched your food?!" Char demanded deliberately.
"I'm not hungry" I stated a bit louder. Niall dropped his fork and his jaw fell. Luckily he didn't have any food in his mouth.
"She did not just say that" he claimed.
"Kathy! Eat!" Fiona ordered. I sighed and picked up a piece of cucumber. It had a weird taste but I ate it anyways. "See? That wasn't too bad" she mocked me.
"You won't be saying that when I vomit on you" I muttered under my breath.
"What was that?" she demanded.
"Nothing" I lied flatly. She sighed and continued her conversation with Jay and Mike. Niall was watching me suspiciously so I continued to eat like a normal person. But I stopped as soon as he looked away. I had eaten almost half of the dish when I started feeling really full. I pushed it away and sat back. There was no way I would have finished it anyways. Fiona's eyes flickered to it but she didn't comment. When the others had finished, they spoke for a bit and then Mike spoke.
"Let's have some pudding and then we have a very important announcement!" he claimed happily. No. I can not eat pudding as well. Niall cheered and immediately started going through the menu again. I didn't even glance at it. When the waiters came for our empty dishes, one stayed behind to ask us if we wanted anything else. Everyone but me ordered more -even the toddlers- and then the chatting continued. When the pudding came back, I almost vomited at the sight of it. It looked so fattening and sickly yet yummy. I was surprised when Fiona ended up with two bowls but she put one in front of me and forced me to sit up.
"Eat it" she ordered, handing me a fork. "It's chocolate brownie with a bit of chocolate sauce" She informed me. I looked at her incredulously. "Go on! Eat it then!"
"Bu-but I'm full!" I whisper-shouted.
"Then you shouldn't have eaten earlier" she retorted, digging into hers freely.
"Maybe you should have told me not to before I did and I might have not" I replied calmly.
"Don't blame me for this" she commanded. "It's not my fault"
"It's not mine either. WHy did you order this for me?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
"Because you need to get up your eating habits" she claimed. I frowned.
"Why? You were fine with it before!" I snapped. She sighed.
"It doesn't matter. Just try and eat some of it" she repeated sternly. She then turned away and began talking with whoever again. I put my fork in the gooey substance and picked up a bit. I slowly put it in my mouth and chewed it. The flavour practically attacked me but I didn't flinch or anything. It was really sweet and as sickly as it looked. I swallowed it quickly and took a sip from my drink. I tried to eat most of it but I only had a few mouthfuls. It was too sweet, too gooey and too fattening. I put down my fork and pushed that away from me as well. I had finished half my drink, trying to get rid of the brownie from my mouth. I leaned back and wrapped my arms around myself. I could practically feel it going straight to my thighs and stomach. Whoops. After another five minutes or so, everyone else was finished too. I felt really bloated when the last dishes were taken.
"Are you sure you don't want this?" The guy asked me, gesturing to the mostly full bowl.
"I'm sure thanks" I replied softly. He gave me a sympathetic smile and took it away. I sighed and put my head back on the booth. I closed my eyes slowly, letting the constant chatter turn into a faint buzz in the background. Suddenly I was being pushed so my eyes flashed open. Fiona was nudging me lightly.
"Stand up honey, we need to get out" she told me softly. I quickly stood up and waited for them to move so I could sit down again. But no. I almost sat down but Mike grabbed my wrist and forced me to stand up. OK then, I guess I'm standing up.
"Everyone, please stand up" Fiona requested kindly. Mike let go of me so I went to stand by Char. Everyone was in a long line, in front of Mike and Fiona.
"The announcement" FIona breathed.
"We just wanted to congradulate Kathy" Mike paused to everyone could stare at me. "She's getting married in three months time!" he finished. Everyone was silent.
"What?" I blurted. "I'm getting married? Since when?!" I demanded harshly. "I'm not getting married!"
"Yes you are honey. And it's going to be amazing!" Fiona insisted. Everyone began muttering.
"Who to?" Char piped up. Jay stepped forwards, next to Mike. She grabbed onto Louis' sleeve and made him stand with her.
"Kathy, this is your new fiance. Louis, you're marrying Kathy" Jay stated
