RED HAIRED BEAU

LOVE?

I sighed softly, revelling in the heartwarming feeling of being beside him. I stared at his restive figure, admiring every beautiful curve of his face. After what he did to me yesterday, I couldn't help but love him more. I chuckled to myself as I thought about that word, Love. How would I know if I was in love with him when I myself have never experienced it.

I repositioned myself and brushed a lock of hair that fell over his closed eyes. He's so beautiful that it hurts to look away from him. Even though he has his flaws, he's still the most beautiful man ever.

I only fear that maybe he may not be able to defeat his cruel past which haunts him everyday but then I wanted to protect him from it. I wanted to protect him from the horrors that chased him in his nightmares so I decided that that's exactly what I was gonna do.

I'm going to stay with him, make him forget it all. I suddenly felt a finger caress my face and I looked up to find him staring at me too. I had gotten so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realise that he had awoken.

"Hey love, sleep well?" I nodded and shyly hid my face in the crook of his neck as I recalled the previous events from last night. He chuckled and hugged me so tight that we become like one body. I suddenly remembered that i was still naked.

"Um Louis?" I said into his neck.

"Yes love?" He responded.

"I'm naked here." I stated. He was quiet for a few seconds then I was suddenly turned, my front to the bed. Louis kissed down my back, causing me to moan softly.

"Mind if I have breakfast?" I couldn't answer as he began to eat me out again. Amazing!

I was seated on the balcony, gazing at the ocean. The sun was high up in the sky but the temperature quite contrasted. It was a bit colder than yesterday so I didn't attempt going close to the beach and just sat, enjoying the seaview. Louis was fixing us some sandwitches in the mini kitchen and soon came out holding a try with the sandwitches and two glasses of cranberry juice.

"Here we go. I hope you like it." He said and saton the floor of the balcony like I had done. I smiled happily and took a bite of one of the sandwitches.

"Mmm, this is amazing Loui, thanks." I said and he chuckled. After a few moments of silence, he spoke.

"Theoretically speaking, how would you feel if I told you that I was in love with you?" I froze, meeting his gaze instantly. I was quiet, he was quiet and we just gazed at each other. I was speechless and honestly didn't know what to say to him. Not that I didn't like it but I couldn't help the happiness that exploded from within.

I truly hoped this wasn't some kind of dream or else I would feel so freakin distorted.

"Love?" He called me and I snapped myself out of my little trance. "You okay?" I nodded and did a little awkward cough.

"Louis, are you speaking theoretically or do you mean to tell me that you are actually in love with me?" I asked as I played with my fingers, my face as red as beet root.

He took my hand and slowly led me towards himself. I straddled his body and he intertwined our fingers.

"Yes love, I mean to tell you that I am in love with you. I love you Amalia. After what happened with Gabriella, I was hesitant to love anyone but after meeting you, I've never felt the strong need to care for someone so much like I do you. I felt dead after loosing the first woman I had ever loved but you made me want to move on so that's exactly what I'm gonna do love. I want to be my today, tomorrow and forever so please don't leave me love. I beg of you." My breaths became a bit laboured different emotions surged through me and my hands twitched as I registered what he was saying. He loves me and do I love him? I don't know...

"Louis, I want to tell you that I love you too but I don't even know what that is. I've never done this before, I've never been in a relationhip before and I've never cared for someone like I care for you. I don't know when I'm gonna feel it--" He placed a kiss on my lips and drew back.

"Don't worry love, I know you've never done this before and I don't need an answer right now. You figure out your feelings and I'll be here with you when you finally feel it." He said, his eyes showing sincerity. I leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek but he turned his head and my lips landed on his lips. I giggled as I remembered seeing Han of Stray Kids try this once with Changbin in one Youtube video I saw.

He laughed carefreely and wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed our bodies so close. I, in that very moment, felt the safest I'd ever felt in forever and I was finally happy. So very fucking happy.
