Because she never really found out..
"It is. I mean, I do love it here.. but I do miss it sometimes. I'll probably visit next summer." Delilah sighed softly, tucking a small strand of hair behind her ears with her free hand. Waiiiit. What? Scary? ....... "No! I mean.. it's a little dangerous, sure.. and my parents worry a lot so I try to stick as close to the shore as possible but gosh!" She rambled on, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "Besides, I love sharks. Their teeth are a little scary but cute, otherwise." ... So. Maybe 'cute' was taking it a little too far but whatever. She liked them.
Delilah blushed. Heh. Of course. But, the girl remained quiet as she listened to him talk about his family back home. She was pretty sure they were a lovely bunch of people. The blonde smiled and was about to say something when his next sentence kind of made her cheeks turn pink again. "They'll love me? You really think so?" It felt so good to hear that, really.. "Do they know about me?"
Louis chuckled softly as Delilah expressed disbelief over her own actions a year ago. “Mm, must’ve been because I’m so handsome; you just couldn’t help yourself,” he teased with a grin, playfully poking the blonde on the tip of her little nose. At her following question, his grin transformed into a more sheepish smile, and for the first time since they settled on this tree branch, he looked down at his feet hovering so many feet above the ground. “My first real kiss, yeah…” He looked up at her then, still smiling. “I’m glad it was with you.” Honestly, he couldn’t imagine himself kissing anyone else.
The boy nodded his head when Delilah considered the idea of returning home over the summer, and laughed as she went on to defend her love for sharks. The excited sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes left him in a sort of daze, and it took him a moment to fully register the words she’d just said. “…
Cute?” he repeated, laughing again. “They have scary teeth - which can tear your limbs in one bite, might I add - but they’re
cute?” Of course, Lou totally respected his girlfriend’s tastes and points of view, but he couldn’t help teasing her over this one. Only Delilah would use the word ‘cute’ on what most considered terrifying creatures. “…
You’re cute,” he decided, poking her playfully again.
Did he really think his family would love her? “I’m certain,” he decided with a confident nod. Not only because his family consisted of a bunch of warm, welcoming people, but because Delilah herself was quite possibly the most charming person he’d ever met. As she asked if they knew about her, the boy bit at his bottom lip to hold back a sheepish smile. “Yeah. Of course.”
