Madhouse

Chapter seven

I starred at my phone feeling defeated. I couldn't believe he would do that. In one word, I was dumbfounded. I stood up, slightly shaken and looked at myself in the mirror. My hazel eyes peered back at me, mascara was smudged underneath my eye. I rubbed it off. With a sigh, I opened the door.

Louis was leaning back on his bed, his feet dangled off the edge. He was scrolling through his phone, he smiled when he looked up at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked, his smile turning into a frown.

"Nothing." He starred at me blankly. "Just tired," I added a moment later. He patted the spot next to him, I hesitated before walking over there. I sat down slowly.

"Em, I don't bite." He said with a laugh. I half smiled. He sat up, scooting closer to me. He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear then caressed my cheek.

"You would tell me if something was wrong, right?" I nodded, not trusting my voice.

"Good." He let his hand fall, then rolled off the bed.

"Coming?" He asked when he reached the door. I got off the bed following after him. A kettle went off when I walked into the kitchen.

"I hope you like tea." He said opening a cabinet and grabbed two mugs. I watched as he poured the tea into a red mug, then another one that was blue. He handed me the blue one.

"Thank you," I said taking it from him, I starred at the steaming liquid.

"I promise I didn't drug it or anything." He said taking a sip of his own. I smiled taking a small drink. We stood there in silence, looking around.

"I wasn't joking when I said you were way more talkative at the party." He broke the silence.

"Well you were right. I did have a few drinks." I shrugged.

"So you're saying you're only fun to be around when you've drank? Hmm good to know."

"I can be fun!" I protested.

"Prove it." He smirked. I set my mug down, crossing my arms across my chest.

"Fine. How so?"

"Hmm." He bit his lip in thought. "How about we go skinny dipping."

"And that's your idea of fun?"

"Seeing a girl naked? Of course." I shook my head.

"No."

"You can leave your underwear on." He tried. "Unless you have any other ideas."

"Well...." He laughed.

"Save it Em, you've got nothing."

"When?" I said between gritted teeth. I could not believe I was going to go through with this.

"Now."

"But it's cold outside."

"Makes it fun." He grabbed my hand, leading me to the dining room where there was a slider, he unlocked it pushing it open. The wind started to pick up when we walked out.

"Can't we do this some other time?" I asked rubbing my arms.

"I'll keep you warm, don't worry." He winked at me before taking his shoes off. "I'll go first." He shrugged out of his shirt then unbuttoned and zipped his jeans, sliding them off. He moved to his boxers.

"You can keep those on," I said, my heart was beating loudly, it echoed in my ears.

"Whatever you say." He walked backwards until he got to the slider, he took a deep breath before running and jumping in the pool. He came up a moment later, laughing and hollering.

"Cold?" I asked smiling , he shrugged smiling.

"Your turn." My smile disappeared. I untied my shoes, turned around to face the slider and slipped off my shirt, then my jeans. I could not believe I was doing this. I turned slowly and walked towards the pool.

"Nice bra, matches your underwear." He said as I dipped my toe in the water. I ignored the comment, I lowered myself to the ground. Louis swam over to me, resting his forearms on the concrete on either side of me.

"Don't think about it. Just do it." I gestured for him to move and I slid in. I started shivering.

"Thisss is freak-k-king c-cold." I stuttered.

"You'll warm up if you go fully in." He ducked under, and I did the same.

"Feeling any better?" He asked when I came back up. He rubbed my arms until my teeth stopped chattering. He smiled, then swam over to the side. He grinned at me before reaching under the water, a few seconds later he threw something that landed next to his clothes. My eyes widened. He was completely naked.

"What, never seen a male naked before?" He was still grinning. "Wait- you haven't?" His grin disappeared. His mouth made a perfect o shape as it set in.

"Well this is incredibly awkward." He laughed, he slowly walked to me. I stepped backwards, until I was pressed up against the corner.

"Don't be scared." Idiot, I wasn't scared. I just didn't want him to step any closer to me.

"Fine," He put his hands up. "I'll get out first, might want to turn around though." He turned and walked back to the edge before hopping out. My eyes stayed glued to the water. I heard the slider open.

"You can get out now!" He called to me. I got out, shivering even more so.

"I'll get the clothes." He said handing me a towel. "You can get the first shower."

"Okay,"

"Unless you want to go green and save water."

"You never give up do you." I laughed.

"Nope, I always get what I want." I didn't doubt him for a second and that's what scares me.
