ＳＴＡＹ ＳＴＲＯＮＧ

LOCATION;; cape canaveral hospital, florida, usa

TIME;; 16:35, saturday

It's been a couple of hours now since Louis left. I must say I was missing his presence, that goofy grin and that nice ass of his...

I shake the images from my head and sit up on my bed, the police had just left with my statement and I was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

"Maybe I should call him..." I mumbled to myself, staring at the iPhone on the bedside table. 

Oh what the heck, I reach out and grab my phone, dialing the number on the piece of paper. I put it on speakerphone, listening to the phone ring about four times before I heard the familiar voice.

"Hello!" The chirpy voice greeted. I smiled.

"Hey, Louis... So, I'm allowed to leave the hospital and I was wondering if you want to go grab a coffee or something?" I suggested.

"That sounds great! I'll come pick you up in 10 minutes!" Louis said excitedly. 

We both said good-bye and then I ended the call.

"Well, I look a mess..." I said with a sigh, looking at my reflection; panda eyes, bushy hair and a hospital dress.

Thank god I always carried extra clothes in my bag, but I wasn't exactly planning an outfit which I would wear on a 'date' with a famous celebrity. 

"It'll do," I said to myself, stripping down to my bra and pants and changing into the black skinny jeans and a white baggy t-shirt that said in bold black letters 'PUGS NOT DRUGS'. I sorted my hair into a high pony tail and applied a little bit of eyeliner.

"Hi babe," A voice said from behind me, I turned around and noticed Louis dressed up formally in skinny jeans and a blazer. He revealed a bouquet of roses from behind him. 

"I saw these roses and they made me think of you," He said with an irresistible voice, trying to make himself sound romantic.

"That is so cheesy," I said with roll of my eyes and a giggle. I took the flowers from him and placed them on top of my bag, "I'll come back for my stuff later."

LOUIS' P.O.V

So my attempt to sweep her off her feet with my romantic roses didn't work. To be honest, that makes me like her more.

Okay, maybe I do really like her... I don't know what it is about her, I want her so bad. But I have to keep my cool.

"I know this rooftop bar that has the view of the entire beach strip," I said as we started walking down the corridor.

"Let's go there then!" Lara said with a big smile. I bit my lower lip, taking in her beauty. 

That smile.That perfect smile. It could put me into a trance.

"Um, Louis?" Lara said with a raised eyebrow. 

"Huh?" I snapped back into reality and noticed I had wrapped my arm around her waist, "OH!" I squeaked, releasing her. I felt my cheeks warm up. 

Smooth move, Tommo...
