Trust, Love, and Lost Relations

The Sparks

Clarissa's P.O.V.
Louis had gone to talk to someone, Niall, I think, about something, so I was standing off to the side watching everyone dance.

I seen Lexi and Zayn, Katrish and Liam, Chris and Harry, Felicit- I looked back to where I thought I had seen Chris and Harry. I must be imagining things, but, no. There they were, slow dancing. Ohmygod. What?

I stared at them for a few minutes, my jaw dropped, when all of a sudden, someone dragged me away. I looked at the culprit to see that it was Louis.

"Um, hi?" I asked, more than greeted.
"Hi," he answered.
"Whatcha doin?"
"We're going for a walk."
"A walk?"
"Well, a swim."
"To where?"
"Um... I don't know. Somewhere."
"Somewhere..."
"Yes, somewhere."
"Where is somewhere?"
"Somewhere is somewhere private."
"Do you have a place I mind?"
"Um, no."
"I know a place."
"Ok, good. Wait, where is it?"
"I'd show you, if you'd let me go..."
"Oh, right."

He finally let go of me, apparently forgetting his grip on my arm. I sighed in relief, having kind of felt hopeless being dragged around like a rag doll.

I started walking, and then figured I should probably tell Felicity where we were going, but Louis grabbed my had and dragged me out the door.

"No time," he said.
"But I need to tell Felici-" he interrupted me
"Niall will tell her."
"Jesus, the sass Lou."
"Sorry."
"It's fine, I was kidding."
"Oh, ok."

"You know, you dragging me isn't gonna get us to the place that I need to take you to," I pointed out. He looked at me and nodded, agreeing. He let me take the lead, and we walked towards the water, not thinking.

We swam to the moon pool and surfaced there. I went and sat on a rock, and then my eyes widened. Louis' did too.

"Ok, wait," he said, "first of all, you felt those sparks too right?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"Ok, good. We can worry now." And I was definitely worrying.

"You don't think..." I started, not finishing the sentence.

"No, we weren't swimming long enough." He said, seemingly trying to convince himself.

"Are you sure?" I asked, nervous.
"No," he admitted.

"Well, what if we were in the water long enough?" He wouldn't be around when he goes back on tour. "What will happen when you go back on tour?"

"Hey, hey," he said soothingly. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let's not worry about it until we have to."

"Right. Ok, that makes sense." I said, trying to compose myself. I calmed down a few minutes later. "That's almost as bad as a fucking pregnancy scare," I laughed, and he laughed too.

We smiled at each other for awhile silently. Then he spoke up again, "you know what those sparks mean, right?"

"Of course I do," I told him. That was a dumb question. "So, then you know that this isn't a normal relationship..." He continued.

"Yes," I said as he swam closer to me. He was right in front of me now. He looked at me with some strong emotion in his eyes. I stared straight back at him.

"It means we have a very strong bond..." He whispered, close to my face now. "A special bond."

"Yeah, I know it does," I whispered back. He kept looking between my lips and my eyes. "We've established that we have a special connection. Now, are you going to kiss me, or are you just going to keep staring longingly at my lips?" I teased him.
