35. Closer

Louis

I opened the door to my room and pop my head out. What was all the commotion? I caught Niall walking towards the living room.

"Who's at the door?" I asked right after Harry's voice resounds through the hall.

"It's Kenzie," I heard Niall say her name a bit tensed. Kenzie? Kenzie! Crap. Why was she here?

"Um sorry I came so unexpected but I thought I could-," she didn't get to finish because I dashed out as fast as I could without giving my secret away, pushed passed the boys and smashed into her. We both fell to the floor with the impact; I turned so that my body could break the fall.

"Kenzie I missed you," I said. She sniggered. Could she get any more beautiful than now?

"Lou, I was with you both just yesterday. You're acting like I haven't seen you in weeks," she said. I continued to burrow my head on the crook of her neck. Her smell was so arousing.

"It felt like it," I said. I suppressed a moan that was dying to come out.

"I'm here now." I nodded my head. I continued to hold her between my arms until someone lightly kicked my leg. I looked up to meet with Liam's hard stare. Oh, right. I reluctantly let my arms loosen around her and let her get up. She gets up and she offers a hand, I take it. Once my hand clasped hers, it triggered something deep in me. Sparks were exploding in every inch of my body. I hadn't realized that I was up and still holding onto Kenzie's hand until Kenzie barely whispered my name. Her voice was the antidote to my trance.

"Sorry, I dazed out a bit there," I said. My hand dropped limply on my side, clenching and unclenching into a fist trying to recall the feeling of the sparks. But I knew the only way to get the feeling was to hold Kenzie's hand once more.

"So like I was saying before Louis so rudely interrupted, why are you here," Liam asked. Liam and Zayn stood at the entrance of our penthouse suite; I notice Niall and Harry in the background trying to hear the conversation going on.

"I thought I could spent the night over with you guys, I sort of, kind of didn't want to sleep at my house alone," I noticed that when she was nervous she fiddled with her fingers. I wanted so badly to grab her hands and hold them between mine. I knew that couldn't happen I had already broken my agreement by throwing myself at Kenzie. But what could I say; it was hard for me not to stay away.

"Um," Liam stood there so baffled that Zayn had to nudge him for him to finish his response. Liam scratched his head and gave her a nervous smile.

"It's okay if you can't I understand," Kenzie was ready to turn and walk away. I swear if Liam doesn't stop her I won't ever speak a word to him again. No matter what Uncle Si said, she was here on her own. We hadn't gone to her.

"No, no. Sorry, love you just caught me off guard, come in. Sorry, for making you stand outside for so long," Liam blushed. Oh great.

"Really thanks. Are you guys going to just stand there or are you going to come in too," Kenzie said as she walked inside and took a seat on the sectional. I looked at Liam and he gave me a half hearted smile. I then stared at Zayn who hadn't spoken not once to Kenzie. Shouldn't he be ecstatic that she was here? He was the one who didn't agree to the order.

"So how have you been Kenzie?" Niall asked nonchalantly trying to make conversation. Everyone had gathered around Kenzie. She laughed.

"A bit bruised from earlier," she said and Niall blushed slightly. What happened earlier? I quirked an eyebrow and Niall smiled a bit sheepishly.

"Zayn and I ran into Kenzie in the morning when we were in Starbuck's." Kenzie nodded. I looked at Zayn and he was just staring out into space. What was up with him? Liam just gave him a we'll talk about this later face that he quickly changed because Kenzie was sitting next to Niall.

"So what do you want to do?" Harry asked.

"Movies," I said.

"Okay," she said. She grabbed one of the pillows and got comfortable. I got up and walked towards the telly and opened the cabinet for a movie to watch. I was about to pick a very good movie when I get shoved to the side and from the corner of my eye I see a mop of curls. Harry gave me a smirk. Oh Hazza you should have never done that.

I get up and pounce at Harry. We roll on the floor and continue to fight until the lights dim and Harry stops fighting back. I stopped too and smelled the delicious smell of popcorn. I get off Harry and walk back towards the living room. Somehow Harry and I managed to get into the hallway. When I get to the living room Kenzie was on the floor, comfortably seated. She had somehow managed to be seated next to Zayn. Zayn's head was propped on her lap. They both had their attention on the telly. Her hands were in his hair brushing it. Liam sat next to her on the couch and Niall sat on the other couch; hand in bowl devouring the popcorn that was supposed to be for everyone.

I walked over Kenzie and Zayn careful not to step on them and took a seat on the empty couch. Harry seconds later is on my side. I lay my head on his shoulder and he gently patted my head. He understood what I felt. I stare into the telly and see that we're watching none other than Toy Story 3. Liam must have chosen it. I groan. I've watched this movie so many times. Harry just chuckles slightly.

"Don't worry boobear, we'll choose the next one," Harry whispered. I nodded. The first time I met Harry I knew he would be like a brother I never had. He was.

After what seem, an endless marathon of Disney movies, most of the lads were asleep. I looked at the clock; it was 1 in the morning. Kenzie was still awake and Zayn was sleeping on her lap. What was he doing? I felt anger rise in me like never before. I just wanted to go over there and take him off her. I didn't notice I was grasping Harry's arm so hard until:

"Boobear, are you okay?" Harry asked groggily. I didn't have to answer. He saw what I was looking at and he just gave me a sympathetic smile.

"The real reason she came here was so Zayn could go to sleep," Harry said. Whoa. How did she know he didn't sleep? I think I said it out loud because:

"I dunno mate. But I had a feeling that's why she came since she barely even watched the movies. Let's go to sleep. Help me with Niall and Liam?" I nodded. Kenzie really cared about us. We just met her and she cared that Zayn couldn't go to sleep. She loved to spend time with us.

Harry grabbed Liam and carried him over his shoulder and I took Niall. We both headed off to their rooms and gently placed them in their beds. Harry gave me a small pat on my back and headed off to sleep too. I walked towards my room when I remembered the Kenzie was probably uncomfortably sleeping on the floor. I walked over to Zayn's room and took some pillows and his blankets. I walked back towards the living room and walked over to Kenzie. I poked her cheek and her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey Lou," she said.

"Here are some pillows and a blanket. You need help moving him?" I asked, half expecting her to say yes.

"No that's okay, thanks though," Kenzie took the pillow placed it behind her. She took the blanket and covered Zayn with it. She smoothed out his hair and she moved a bit to get comfortable. I got up and was heading back to my room when I hear her whisper my name.

"Lou," she repeats. I walked over Zayn and bent down to hear her.

"Yes love," I said.

"Goodnight," she said. She moved closer to me and placed a kiss on my cheek. I saw her smile and I think I practically floated from the living room to my bedroom. When I got under my covers did I finally realize that I hadn't even said goodnight to her.

"Goodnight to you too love," I said hoping she could hear it. I felt my eye lids get heavy and no longer fought against my sleep.
