"You look pretty", Louis complimented Marlene again and smiled at her. He could see a hint of red creeping up on the girl's cheek and brushed his fingers over her cheekbones. They felt warm and he kissed the tip of her nose, taking advantage of them being so close to each other due the hug they had shared moments earlier. Marlene blushed even more, feeling the urge to kiss Louis grow by every passing second. For some reason she wasn't too sure if she should do that. The Austrian didn't really knew where she and Louis stood but if things went as they were going, there was a good chance it would work out well on her behalf.
"You look very handsome, too", Marlene told him. Louis had his glasses on and Marlene had to use all of her willpower not to let out any inhuman noises or moans or any sound by that sort anyway. Louis, especially wearing glasses, was her weak spot in every level possible.
They sat down on Louis' comfy couch and Louis pulled Marlene in for a side hug. She smiled and pecked the boy on the cheek. She felt good with him and the feeling seemed to be mutual. They stayed like that for a while, enjoying each other's company. They had known only for a short time but it didn't really matter.
"I like /you/ a lot you know", Marlene whispered quietly, not really sure if Louis would even hear her.
It was overwhelming to think she was there, lying in Louis' arms. She wanted to stay there forever but there were things she wanted to talk about with him. She wasn't the one to rush things but she knew the fandom really well and there were so much stuff that was better be made clear immediatelly. Were they even dating?
There were stuff she had though to herself already. If that was the case, that they were dating, would she be strong enough to handle the amount of hate she'd receive that seemed to be endless? "For Louis, yes", she thought and looked up a bit, staring at the face that looked like it belonged to an angel of some sort and those gorgeous eyes that were staring straight back at her, looking bright as if they were smiling.
"How do you think things will work out between Harry and Tessa?" the boy asked and Marlene got up a bit, making it easier to talk.
"I'm not sure to be honest.. I hope it works out well though, or else this all would've been for nothing", she sighed. They had agreed it was something the pair of them wouldn't necessarily have to know - Marlene and Louis had met each other a month ago when Louis had visited the place she worked in, during the flu time. They had immediatelly clicked and Marlene had asked him if it was alright to somehow get Harry and Tessa together. He thought it was a great idea, knowing Harry wouldn't be mad at him if they found out about it some day.
"Well, not for nothing. I got myself a beautiful girlfriend and you can't deny - it was fun making the plan to get them together, no matter how things turn out. Besides, this just shows us what great actors we are", Louis laughed with a wink.
Marlene's face lit up like a Cristmas tree. "I'm your girlfriend?"
"If you want to be, yes."
Marlene lent in and connected their lips, kissing the boy now slightly beneath him passionately.
"I take that as a yes", he laughed when they pulled apart to get some air.
.....
"So what do you say?" Harry asked. He was feeling nervous, Tessa had just been staring at him for what felt like an eternity. Her eyes were bigger than normally and her mouth was slightly open and if he wouldn't have been so nervous, he would've thought she looked cute.
"Focus Styles, focus", he slapped himself mentally. This was not the time for this.
"You do know I'm a fan, don't you? Like a directioner, proper obsessed and shit? I have blogs about you and stuff", Tessa finally spoke, trying to make her point clear. How could he possibly like her, seriously.
Harry smiled. If this was all it was depending on - he was good. "Well since you're a fan, I mean a directioner, shouldn't you know I've said I would absolutely love to date a fan?"
"Yeah but -"
"No buts. I don't have the slightest problem with you being a fan - so, do you like me or not?"
"I - of course I like you", Tessa muttered. She looked down at her hands, picking on her fingers - she had never told anyone she liked them before, more than as a friend, not face to face. Yes, she was 18, but she had never even dated anyone, for god's sake she had only kissed once or twice and even then she had been drunk, not remembering much about those situations.
Small panic was starting to get a grip of her again so she cleared her throat and got up, going to get another cup of coffee, in need of something to do and hoping coffee would make her relax again. As she walked past Harry, he grabbed her wrist hard enought so she had to stop. She looked up, staring straight into those beautiful green eyes that now looked like they were sparkling.
"There's one more thing I want to ask.. why exactly are you avoiding me? You barely look at me and you sat down as far from me as you could without leaving the room", Harry asked with a small smile on his face. He found it cute how innocent she seemed. To be honest, he hadn't yet figured out what wasn't cute in this girl.
"I'm not.. avoiding you."
"Oh yeah? Then I guess you don't mind if I do this", Harry said and with those words, he gently pulled Tessa by the hand towards him, and kissed her. He pressed his lips onto hers, slowly starting to move them. He pulled her even closer, cupping her cheeks with his hands. Even though he was sitting, he was the same hight as her so the move wasn't a problem. Harry felt how Tessa slowly started to move her lips as well, copying his moves. He pulled away smiling, still holding Tessa as close to him as possible, the girl now standing between his legs.
He tried to look her in the yes but she was carefully looking everywhere else except Harry, lowering her gaze to the floor. He smiled a bit more and raised her chin so she basically didn't have any other option but to look at him.
"Hey, it wasn't that bad now was it?" the curly one chuckled, moving his hands to her flushed cheeks..
"No", Tessa murmured and leant forward to hug Harry.
He hugged her back, gently stroking small circles in to her back. He wasn't completely sure why but he felt the girl shiver a little. Harry smiled, finding it cute and pressed a kiss on her neck, just below her ear, feeling the move quite intimate but not thinking it too much, having the girl still in his arms.
Tessa was caught by surprise, not expecting him to do that and she gasped slightly, trying to pull away from the hug. She had never been kissed to the neck and it felt good but she was off guard and didn't know how else to react. But Harry didn't let her do that, instead of letting her go he gave her another quick kiss, this time to the tip of her nose.
"Try to relax a bit, okay?" He said quietly, smiling as he pulled her closer again.
