Criminal Love

Chapter Seven

Song for Chapter
Bloodstream by Ed Sheeran

It feels as though I've been ran over by a train when I wake up, my whole lower-half aching in the best way. The body next to mine stirs and brings back memories from last night, Louis' arm tightens it's grip around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I feel sweat and stickiness clinging to my body, yet another reminder of the midnight memories.

I open my eyes to see sunlight prying it's way into the room, finding it's way into my eyes. I barely have time to register what's going on, Louis' rolled me over and is kissing up my chest, his hand trailing up and down my torso. His eyes aren't even open. "Wh-what are you doing?" I ask as he nips at a spot he bruised up last night. "Just making sure you know who you belong to. And everyone else who looks at you sideways." He says, muffled by the kisses. He didn't feel me slide and get a piece of gum, shoving it into my mouth. I don't have time brush my teeth, don't look at me like that.

"Is-is that your way of asking me to be y-your boyfriend?" I ask, breathily as he marks up my neck. He finally reaches my jawline. "Yes, darling. And I have a question for you." He asks, sitting up and pulling my head towards him. "And that is..?"" I ask, looking at those beautiful baby blues. "I have to go away next weekend, for about...five days, would you like to come with? Niall can come too." He offers, brushing his hand through my tangled mess of hair. "Oh.. I.. I'll have to talk to Niall.." I say, the question surprising my post-sex and post sleep mind.

"It's ok, love. You have week to decide, it's fine if you don't wanna go, just call me." Louis says, shoving my hesitation to the side. "Thank you for giving me the option." I say, feeling his lips brush my forehead. "Of course baby."

I get back to my apartment with thoughts running around my head, having all week to decide about this trip with Niall and...my boyfriend. I unlock the door, hoping Niall is already here, I mean he should be, unless he had something to do today. Sure enough, his figure is walking around the kitchen. "Hey Niall." I say, causing the blond to look up. And woah.

Thoroughly fucked doesn't even begin to explain the look that Niall is giving off. "Hey." He says, voice not even going an octave above a whisper. "What did you do last night, bud?" I ask, laughing at his gravelly greeting. "Uhm, Zayn and Liam invited me back to their place, and uhh, they wanted me to... you know.. have a threesome.. and we did.." Niall says, cheeks going rosy, well, more than usual.

My eyes widen at Niall's hoarse admission. "Ho-ly shit. You did. Wow. This is way too much for ten in the morning. Fuck." I say, laughing as Niall starts to chuckle. "I know.. but the thing is, I really liked it." Niall says, sipping at the coffee in his hand, hickeys' a plenty on display up and down his neck. "Well, since you shared that, Louis asked me to be his boyfriend and asked if you and I would like to go on a trip with him next weekend." I say, watching Niall choke on his coffee. "B-boyfriend?" He asks as I nod.

"So.. where and when are we leaving?" I ask as check a customer in, making sure their proper ID and gear is in check before clearing the girl to get a tattoo. I hear Louis' chuckle through the speaker as I smile. "Ok, two days, Miami Airport, three pm. We'll be arriving in Las Vegas at twelve pm. We'll be there for five days, three of which I have to tend to business related things, the other two, we can do whatever you like. Zayn and Liam are going, so Niall is of course welcome to go. Don't worry, Ziam filled me in on their excursion, which to be honest, wasn't expecting out of the two, but Liam really likes Niall, so it's probably going to be a new normal." Louis says, sounding busy on the other line.

I snort into the phone, "You know, Niall has never confirmed if he's gay or not." I say, writing down the name of a guy who wants to get his septum pierced. "Well... this should be... an interesting way of coming out, hmm?" Louis jokes. I giggle, my hands making the name shake a little on the paper. "Ok, love. I'll see you on Monday. Five days." Louis' sweet Northern Georgia accent leaks through the speaker. "Ok, Lou.. See you Monday, baby." I say, hanging up aster saying our goodbyes and I continue with my work.

I finish packing my suitcase with tee shirts and jeans for the next five days, more than enough of boxer briefs to keep clean. I hear Niall laugh on the phone, with god knows who. "Liam! Stop, I look forward to being with you and Zayn, but you have to stop! I'm going to pee!" And there is who god knows is on the phone. Liam. I smile, knowing Niall is happy.

I walk with my suitcase rolling behind me with Niall excitedly going on about what he wants to do in Vegas, my eyes searching for Louis.

Ahhh ok, next chapter is VEGAS BABY!!! I love Duplicity Niall. Anygays, Imma go continue watching Criminal Minds, talking to my friend, and hoping I can go get a ball-head tripod for my mom. For Christmas, she's been wanting/needing one for years. So yeah, ciao lovelies.
