Charlie's POV
"Okay so how'd I do?" I turn to ask Niall.
It is now 2:00pm and I have just finished my first day at work. Louis and Niall had gotten lost in conversation for about an hour until Louis fell asleep. He still hasn't woken up yet which makes me quite relieved. He continuesly made little comments to me during his and Niall's conversation. I couldn't ignore the huge breath I took when I heard his little snores behind me.
"Really well, actually. You sure you haven't done this before?" Niall questions as he stands and stretches.
"Pretty sure," I laugh and walk over to them after clearing everything for the next worker.
"So did you want to come hang out with us or were you going home?" Niall asks as he grabs his keys from his back pocket.
I want to hang out with them but the last time I went to "hang out with them" I ended up waking up beside Louis and getting highly offended.
"I'll take her home," A cracked low voice speaks.
Me and Niall turn to Louis who is currently struggling to stare back because only one eye is slightly open.
"You sure?" Niall questions and I open my mouth to decline his offer but nothing comes out.
"If I wasn't sure then I wouldn't have said the shit," Louis rubs his eye and stands from his seat.
"Is that okay with you, Charlie?"
No it's not okay.
"Yeah I guess.." I mumble and Niall smiles before waving to me and Louis and leaving out.
"Well let's go," Louis says and walks out while I follow.
"Why are you taking me home?" I can't help but ask.
"To see you walk in those leggings," Louis winks and my eyes go wide while my cheeks turn pink.
"I'm kidding," Louis laughs "I just thought we needed to talk."
I roll my eyes and my heart drops. He wants to talk about our weird relationship. This odd inbetween stage. And I for once am not in the mood to talk about it.
"Why are we walking? Don't you have a car?" I try to change the subject.
"Because I actually do want to see you walk in those leggings," Louis shrugs "I just said the leggings weren't the reason why I'm taking you home. They're why we're walking though."
And my cheeks turn pink once again.
"What about your car?" I ask.
"No one will take it. I'll walk back and get it later."
"Can't you get a ticket for that?"
He shrugs.
"I don't really give a shit. Anyways, you never gave me a chance to explain two days ago."
I stop in my tracks, cross my arms, and stare at him which caught him really off gaurd.
"Explain," I demand.
"Leggings, my shirt, plus a little attitude," Louis smirks "I like it."
I roll my eyes once again and try my best to ignore how fast my heart is beating at his comments.
"Louis." I warn.
"Alright alright," Louis laughs and puts his hands in his pockets before sighing "I know what I said was what you consider hurtful. You're not my hidden slut and I shouldn't treat you like one. I realize that I can't kiss you and then call you a bitch minutes later. I'm not used to dealing with everyone's feelings and shit. That's why you're so new to me. I feel weird around you and I say unthinkable shit. Not that it's anything relationship wise, but life wise. I'm not used to it. Anyways, I think we need to find our relationship. What we are."
Louis' words have stunned me. Him actually being serious enough to explain himself. Even more than neccassary. And he's right. We need to find where we stand.
"I was thinking we could actually be friends. No kissing, no arguing, just normal friends," Louis suggests as we start to walk again.
How do I feel about this? I'm glad we are able to discuss this small situation. But I'm not sure if I want to be.. just friends? Actually, it's kind of better at this point. We would never make it as a couple and we both would be more comfortable with a friendship.
"Sounds like a great idea," I smile at him and he surprisingly smiles back.
"Great, so do you want to go somewhere specific before you go home?" He asks me.
"Uh no that's fine.."
"No, I insist. Let's get lunch or something."
For once, I feel kind of comfortable around Louis. I really like this friend thing. But this shift between us is a bit awkward.
"Do you like pizza?" Louis asks me, breaking me from my thoughts.
I nod and Louis chuckles at me.
"What?" I laugh.
"You're pretty quiet when you're not pissed off," He points out.
I shrug and then seconds later we both burst into laughter.
This is definately the best version of Louis.
