Don't Let It Break Your Heart {l.t} - SLOW UPDATES

CHAPTER 12

Later that evening Louis and I took the train back home and called a taxi to get us back to the building instead of walking. We spent most of the train ride sharing kisses since we were actually the only people on board due to the time of night it was. Once Louis paid the cab driver, we tiredly made our way upstairs. 

"Thank you Louis, I had a lot of fun tonight" I smiled. 

"Me too Stella" his hands found their way on my waist. "I love you"

"I love you too" I leaned up kissing him slowly. "Can you spend the night" I asked, my fingers going in his hair.

"Yeah, let me go get clothes and my toothbrush" He said turning away.

I waited a couple minutes and Louis made his way to my bedroom, a yawn escaping his lips. 

We both changed in the comfort of my room and I couldn't help but have this feeling of love fill my chest. I really love and care about Louis so much. He's the best thing to ever come into my life. We crawled into bed, Louis pulling me close to his bare chest. It was so easy to fall asleep next to him. I guess thats what happens when you fall in love with someone. 

The next morning I woke up in a great mood. Louis was still sleeping, his lashes, flush against his cheeks. I got up out of the bed slowly, careful not to wake Louis. I decided that I was going to make him breakfast. As I was finishing up his eggs, I felt a pair of arms around my waist. I jumped a little, but butterflies instantly filled my stomach as Louis' scent filled my nose. 

"Morning baby" Louis kissed my cheek. 

"Good morning, I made you breakfast" I handed him a plate full of eggs, bacon, and 2 blueberry pancakes.  

Louis excitedly took the plate and started eating quickly. 

"This is so good" Louis said with a mouth full of food. "Thank you" He smiled. 

I giggled and started cleaning up the kitchen and getting ready for the day. Today was my first day of work and I had to be there at 10 and have an orientation like meeting. 

Louis hopped in my shower while I continued to get ready for my first day of my promoted position. I finished getting ready around 9:15, casually sneaking two of Louis' cigarettes in my bag before he got out. As soon as I zipped my purse the water was turned off and Louis was wrapping himself in a towel. 

"Hey Lou, my first day of work is today so I'll hopefully be off around 6" I told him as he racked some product through his hair. He turned to face me, wrapping his arms around my waist. 

"I'll have dinner waiting for you babe. Want me to make it here? Or would my place be better" He kissed my nose. 

God Louis is the best, what did I do to deserve him?

"Can you please make it here" I gave him the puppy dog eyes. 

"Of course" He let out a laugh, "Now go smash your first day, I'm proud of you" He kissed me. 

"I love you" I said breaking away from his grip to head out. 

"I love you too baby" He smiled blowing me a kiss. 

And with that I was out the front door on my way to catch the train for my first day of what would be the best day..... or so I thought

Around 30 minutes later I hopped off the train and saw that I still had a good 20 minutes till I actually needed to report to my shift. I stopped at the starbucks and ordered my usually coffee. I texted Louis in the mean time, his words easing my nerves. After getting my coffee I walked down the busy sidewalk and not too far after the coffee stop I could see my office building coming into view. The urge to run away was strong but I held myself together. I need to do good here, otherwise, moving to this country was a waste. 

I walked in the busy building and took an elevator to the 9th floor. It took me straight up to the office I would be working in. It was only 9:55 when I arrived so I had some time to spare before I actually had to meet my new boss in person. As I was giving myself a personal tour of the place I bumped into a rather tall man. 

"Oh hello, miss, and who are you?" the man said with a questioning tone. 

"Stella, Stella Lancaster, I just moved here from New York a-"

"Oh Stella, I've been looking forward to meeting you I'm Dave Howard, I run the place" He smiled and as happy I was to meet him on an informal note, my heart started beating out of my chest. 

"Come with me and I'll show to your office and get you started on the orientation." He motioned me to follow him, further back into the building. 

I passed by a number of offices before I finally get to my own. It was in the back, right across the way from Mr. Howards office as he pointed out before opening the door to mine. Since it was on the end I had a great view of the city of London. The sun was shinning high in the sky giving the office great natural lighting. It was much better than my office back in New York. 

"Okay, now Stella, I hear from your old office that you were one of the top employees, is that true?" He lowered his glasses. 

"Yes sir" I tried to sound confident in my words. 

"Thats wonderful to hear! Tomorrow I want to see your amazing work, but for today, you need to watch a series of videos about our company and just our policies and things of that nature, you should be done by 4 and then after that, I have some thing else for you. The computer is already set up. If you need anything don't be afraid to use the phone, I have my number as well as the building numbers written down for you" He said very quickly, approaching the door as he spoke. 

"Okay! Thank you so much Mr. Howard."

"Call me David" He smiled before exiting my new office. 

Around 5 p.m. my orientation ended and I had just finished typing up a written sample for David. As I went to knock on the door, he opened it, making me jump back. 

"Stella! I was just coming to see how you were doing but I can see you finished" He chuckled, taking the paper from me. "I'll look this over, and since you finished for the day I'll let you leave early"

"Thank you David" I smiled.

But before I could get out the door he mumbled something I think might make me question in coming in tomorrow, "You would look good in my bed tonight" I heard him mumble under his breath. Was I supposed to hear that? We'll find out if he were to ever act on his actions. 

As soon as I was out of the building I lit a cigarette to calm myself down. I don't care anymore if Louis could smell it on me. I walked all the way to the station smoking the cigarette. I took the 30 minute train ride back, already craving the second one. When the intercom sounded my location, I quickly exited, running up the stairs to make a detour to the gas station before heading back to see Louis. I smoked the second cigarette on the way there. 

But when I walked in there was a group of people there that I least expected to run into, 

Liam, Harry, Niall, and Zayn.
