Stand.

Experience

"Are you sure you don't want me to cover it up?" Claire said staring at the nape of my neck, trying her best to hold her her smirk.

"I'm sure Claire." I said irritated. "If I wanted it covered up, I would have said otherwise, or answered differently to your question the first, or the many times after." I said with a sarcastic smile. Claire just chuckled, annoying me further.

"There's no need for that tone babe, I'm not judging you. If anything I'm impressed. How did he manage to one up you?" She said with a smirk.

"He did not one up me!" I said with an exasperated rise in pitch.

"So he didn't just give you that big red mark on your neck so everyone can see?" I shut my mouth. "And you aren't nervous about covering it up because he wouldn't like that?" Her smirk grew wider.

"I'm a strong, independent women." I protested.

"Yeah who's whipped." She added, I blushed. Before I could protest further, she interupted. "Save it for your late night conversations with your self, I'm done with your make up, now face the mirror so I can do your hair.

"Done." She finally said satisfied. I looked at myself a little suprised.

"I look different." I said with the lack of a better way to put it.

"Yeah I made you look more classy." She said with a smug smile.

"What do you mean?" I asked, a little insulted.

"Oh bugger off, you know exactly what I mean. You need to learn how to use make up the right way." She said again with that same smile. I got up to walk out to get my shoes.

"I don't wear a lot of make up anyway what's the point?" I question her opening the door and walking out while looking at her. She looked up at something then smiled.

"The point is." She said then turned me around to my open door, where louis was still on the bed with the covers on him this time. Claire then to my horror whistled as Louis looked up confused, then his eyes went wide.

"Woah." He said in a tone that made him barely audible.

"What?" I immidietly asked a little worried and excited. He started getting out of the bed as Claire just sighed and walked away to her room. I walked into mine.

"You look." He paused then breathed in. "You look, wow. I'm actually jealous of the people who get to see you more than I do tonight.

"You can see me now." I said with a smirk, jokingly. His face broke into a smirk.

"How much time do we have?"  He said as he brushed the back of his hand over the nape of my neck, I shivered.

"Louis I was just mucking about, Claire will be ready soon." I said with my eyes closed and my lips parted, my voice a low whisper.

"How much time do we have?" He just repeated, his hand now making lazy circles at the back of my neck, I moved my head to give him acess.

"But my make up and hair." My voice barely audible at this point. He put his other hand around my waist and started to pull me back into the room. He bend down to connect his lips to me neck.

"How much time do we have?" He groaned into my neck, making me whimper.

"Enough." I said and threw my arm back to shut the door.

                                                                          ***

"Well you weren't wearing lipstick." He said with a chuckle as his frame towered over my sitting one. I sat at my vanity staring ay myself in the mirror. It wasn't as bad as I imagined. My hair just needed a finger combing to fix the curls they were in and I needed to powder away the beads on sweat all over the face and neck.

"I'm impressed Tomlinson, you didn't ruin anything." I said with a look of appreciation, he shot me a vain grin.

"Well one does learn a few things with experience." I laughed.

"You seem to have a lot of that, I'll admit. Experience." I said after laughing.

"I could say the same about you." He looked down with eyebrows raised.

"Touché." I just said. He stared at me with narrow eyes as I saw something flash through his eyes, something to contradict his lazy façade. "But atleast I haven't picked up new things in these past few months, you player."I said, my smile faltering a little. I smiled brighter.

"Well I have much to learn. You on the other hand don't need to." I could see it flash in his eyes. We then just looked at eachother through the mirror, both tormented by the same question, too proud to ask.

"I didn't count." He finally said, his eyes the same lazy small. "But there were too many." My eyes got narrower. He stared at me again.

"One." I said honestly.

"How come?" He asked, a slight amount of pride in his eyes.

"Didn't feel like it after, then I had exams I just-" I blabbered.

"Just admit it will you?" He snapped suddenly, making me jump. I looked into his eyes again, then I sighed.

"I missed you." I said finally, regretting it immidietly. What was he doing to me?

"I tried to forget you." He said then, making my eyes grow bigger and my heart twist. He what? He then smiled and bend down, I realised he sat on his knees to come to my height.  "I think I'm addicted to you Miss Daniels." I stopped breathing. I did not know what to say, and I knew should not say anything. He picked up my hand and kissed a finger, I bit my lip as he looked up and looked at me, waiting. I opened my mouth when there was a knock on the door.

"Is everyone decent?" Claire's muffled voice said, louis jerked away and let my hand go. Backing up and sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Why wouldn't we be?" I said after trying to calm myself.

"We share a wall genius." Claire said as she opened the door, I looked at myself in the mirror when she popped her head in. "Right okay are you ready?" She said as she looked between us, I could see the questions in her eyes.

"Yeah just give me a moment." I said and picked up a nude lipstick, as I was about to put it on my eyes locked with Louis' in the mirror, he gently shook his head. I put the lipstick back down then with a very indecent thought, I picked up the only scarlett lipstick I owned. I opened it up and looked back at him, he smirked. My lips broke into a smile and I applied it slowly. I didn't look at him but I could feel his eyes grow darker. I then got up, the smirk still on my face and picked up my purse and slipped into my shoes and turned to a very amused Claire to leave. The smirk still plastered on my face.
