Logan’s POV
Today was absolutely exciting for me. Today was Thanksgiving and I was more than happy that everyone was coming over to celebrate the American holiday with me and Jackie. We had woken up super early to stuff our turkey and we spent most of the day making all the essentials side dishes we were used to having at Thanksgiving that I knew we’d be trying to get rid of food for like a month. We were just lucky we were on fall break at the moment so we could all stay up late and enjoy each other’s company.

It was nice. Over the past couple of months everything that I thought wasn’t possible was. I had a ton of different friends, a great and loving boyfriend, and everything in my schooling was going great. I did miss my old friends back at UCLA but I was starting to make a new life out here and I was finally happy and starting to feel normal again.

I was currently making sure we had everything when I heard Jackie laugh lightly. I turned to look at her and she was smiling lightly at me.

“Uhm, not to alarm you or anything, but we don't have any cranberry sauce,” she said and I smacked my forehead.

How could we forget the cranberry sauce, it’s kind of essential for Thanksgiving.

“Oh shoot,” I said rubbing my forehead since I smacked it a bit too hard and then looked over our counter to see if it was there and we didn’t see it.

When I didn’t see it I looked over at Jackie and grinned sheepishly at her.

“Would you..?” I started and she smiled at me.

“Of course,” she grinned understanding my half asked question.

She then grabbed her jacket and scarf and headed out of the dorm room leaving me to finish up getting things ready. I started cleaning up our giant mess, when there was a knock at the dorm room. I was a bit confused at first but I figured it was one of the boys who so kindly decided to knock today instead of just barge right in like they normally did. I opened the door to find my favorite pair of blue eyes grinning at me.

“Merry Thanksgiving!” he exclaimed and handed me a store bought apple pie.

“We say Happy Thanksgiving love,” I said smiling at his attempt, “It’s Merry Christmas but a very good try.”

“You and your stupid American ways,” he huffed as he came into the dorm room, “Why don’t you just say happy for everything so you don’t have to confuse other people?”

“I don’t know Lou,” I said laughing lightly, “I think you should take that up with the president of the United States.”

“I will,” he said and crossed his arms and I just laughed at his childishness, “By the way the food smells amazing.”

“Thanks,” I said, “Jackie and I spent all morning cooking it.”

“As in all morning. . .” Louis started and I just grinned.

“As in four this morning all morning,” I said and Louis just shook his head.

“You Americans are mad,” he said and he kissed me.

“But I’m your mad American,” I giggled and he just grinned widely at me.

“You are,” he replied and I headed back into the kitchen.

“Want to help me clean up before I go get changed?” I asked.

“Why not,” he said, “You wash I dry?”

“Perfect,” I said and then we started cleaning up mine and Jackie’s mess.

After about twenty minutes of cleaning and explaining Thanksgiving customs to my very eager and curious boyfriend, the kitchen was clean and all that was needed was setting up the kitchen table, well more like the living room since our kitchen couldn’t hold ten people all at once. I was about to grab the plates and things when Louis grabbed me by the waist and spun me around. He had his hands on my waist and I cocked my head to the side confused.

“Did I ever tell you how amazing you are and how lucky I am to have you?” he asked smiling down at me.

“I don’t think you have Mr. Tomlinson,” I replied smiling up at him.

“Well you are,” he said kissing me, “and I’m very lucky and blessed you have such a beautiful and wonderful girlfriend.”

I felt myself blush and I saw Louis grin wider than before.

“You look even more beautiful when you blush,” he whispered and kissed me again.

However this kiss was different from all the other kisses we had shared so far. It was hungry and full of passion but it wasn’t rough or quick. It was full of love and softness. My hands soon found their way our Louis’ neck and my hands played with the hair at the nape of his neck. Louis’ hands soon started to roam as our kiss became more heated and I could feel where this was going and I didn’t care. I knew Louis would never hurt me and I knew this was what I wanted. However before we could move anywhere, the timer for the sweet potatoes when off and Louis groaned.

“Really?” he asked looking at me and I giggled and pecked his lips.

“We’ll pick this up later lover boy,” I said, “Because I do enjoy kissing my hot boyfriend.”

“I’m hot?” he asked grinning and I just laughed.

“And I forgot sexy,” I said and I heard him laugh as I pulled out of the potatoes, “Now let me change and watch the food.”

I then disappeared and quickly changed (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=88279023). I then reappeared to find Louis out on the couch watching the news. Louis looked up and smiled when he saw me.


“Beautiful as always,” he grinned and I just blushed.

“Thanks,” I said as I curled up next to him.

“No problem love,” he replied and kissed my temple.

We then spent a good twenty minutes just sitting on the couch enjoying each other’s company when the door opened and in came Jackie, Harry, Niall, and a girl I had never met before. She was beautiful though. She had beautiful long blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a beautiful sun kissed tan. As I was taking in this stranger, Louis and I both stood up.

“Logan, Louis meet Olivia,” Jackie said, “Olivia meet my dorm mate Logan and her boyfriend Louis.”

“Nice to meet you,” I said and shook her hand.

“You too,” she said and I grinned at her American accent.

“Perfect another American!” Louis exclaimed and we all laughed.

“Be nice Lou,” I said and playfully punched his arm, “Sorry he’s a child sometimes.”

“It’s alright,” Olivia replied smiling, “My brother is the same way.”

“Well make yourself at home,” I said, “Everyone should be here soon and we can start eating!”

Olivia, Louis, Harry, and Niall all went into the living room while Jackie and I walked into the kitchen.

“You don’t like her,” I said quietly as I grabbed the cranberry sauce from Jackie and grabbed a bowl.

“It’s not that,” she said just as quiet as I was, “She’s really nice and has a great personality it was just in the hallway Harry had this face I’ve never seen when she was talking to Niall.”

“What was it like?” I asked.

“Emotionless like he was hiding something,” she said, “And trust me I would pick her over me.”

“Hey,” I said spinning around to look at her, “You are a beautiful, kind, funny, smart, and wonderful woman. Do not compare yourself to someone you just met. Harry really likes you, trust me I know. When you refused to talk to him he would complain to me all the time how much he liked you to the point where I wanted to kill him. Trust me he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”

“How do you know that?” she asked quietly.

“Because if he does anything stupid I’m killing him,” I said as we got everything ready, “Now let’s forget about this and enjoy our Thanksgiving!”

Jackie then just shook her head and smiled at me.

“And this is why we’re best friends,” she said smiling.

“Honey I’m home!” I heard Zayn and Liam exclaim as the door opened and we headed out into the living room to find the gang all here.

Everyone was scattered all over the living room when we walked in and everyone exclaimed greetings when we walked in.

“Hey everyone,” we said.

“Can we eat?” Niall asked, “I’m starving.”

“Hold on human trash compactor,” I said and everyone laughed, “Jackie and I just want to thank you all for coming and letting us show you how we celebrate Thanksgiving. It really means a lot to us that you guys wanted to come hang out with us and eat turkey and we are truly thankful for each and every single one of you even you Olivia.”

Everyone then just clapped and wooed causing both of us to blush and we all laughed.

“Now one more thing,” Jackie said.

“Oh come on,” Niall exclaimed dramatically.

“Calm down Nialler,” Jackie said, “We have to say a prayer before we eat.”

“Make it quick then,” Niall muttered which caused us all to laugh.

Jackie said a quick prayer thanking God for the food we were about to eat and our friendships and then we started eating. Today was a pretty successful day and I was proud. I was spending my first Thanksgiving out of the country with friends I considered family and I was truly happy about it.
