It's been like 5 months since Louis and Zara made their relationship public, luckily for them, it seems to have increased their popularity on social media, everyone's talking about them and their names are unable to leave the top trending on twitter, this is great for Zara, who's absolutely pleased with her sudden growth of followers in instagram, and honestly, Louis couldn't care less about his followers, but he thinks seeing Zara happy makes him happy too.
"What's going on?" Louis asks when he notices Zara McDermott's face, she's holding a hand to her mouth and gasping, making evident so Louis asks.
She shows Louis her phone, where she has the instagram app on and theres a Soccer Aid post announcing another player Sam Thompson
"Sam Thomson?" Louis asks incredulous, slightly grinning since he doesn't get what's going on and Zara punches him in the arm.
"He's my ex!"
Louis' smile drops, he takes a closer look at Sam's face and he suddenly feels the urge to punch him in the face, hard, and a whole fucking lot.
After that event Louis has been more motivated than ever for Soccer Aid, secretly stalking Sam Thompson's instagram to see who he's indirectly competing with, he now considers him his opponent, he doesn't know why, but he feels he needs to show Sam he's better than him, better for Zara, wealthier, hotter, faster, stronger... but Sam's a tough opponent, he's fit, good-looking and charismatic, which is obvious if you consider he's a reality show's star. The worst part is, he will have to work with Sam, not against him. That's when he decided he was gonna make this guy his enemy, and honestly? this could be great for him, it would feed up the straight manly image he has put so much effort on the last years.
