27th of December 2013.

Liv's POV.

I awoke feeling peaceful, warm and secure.
As I open my eyes I remember that I didn't leave Louis' bedroom last night and realise that his arms are wrapped tightly around me, I can feel his hot breath on my face and I can't help but admire him, his beauty even while sleeping is incredible.

I manage to snap myself out of my little daze when my mind drifts to consequences, to hurt and heartbreak and to the loss of my incredible job.
This is not supposed to happen, Louis and I can be friends and nothing more, he is my bosses son after all.
I don't know what I was thinking, I must be out of my mind.
With that sudden realisation I reluctantly slip out of Louis' warm embrace and quietly make my way out of his bedroom, I'm happy to say that nobody witnessed my walk of shame.
I decide that I need a good shower to clear my mind.
Once I'm under the hot water I scrub myself from head to toe, I find myself daydreaming about last night, I truly enjoyed being with Louis like that and I wish there was nothing to hold me back from this sweet guy, but there is and I shouldn't of done anything to let him get the wrong idea, I know that I am going to have to set him straight about us, if last night has confused me then I can bet it has confused him too.

After a long shower I dress, do my hair and makeup before heading downstairs for breakfast, when I get there I see that only Jay is awake.
"Good morning Liv, sleep well?" She asks and I could swear she has a smirk on her face.
I feel my cheeks tinge pink, she knows that I slept in Louis' bedroom.
"Nothing happened with us..." I trail off, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She smiles kindly at me.
"You two looked so sweet cuddled up together." She admits, gesturing towards the fridge.
Confused and curious I take a few steps closer to see what she is talking about.
At eye level on the fridge is a very cute photo stuck up by magnets of Louis and I snuggled up looking like a proper couple in his bed.
"I snuck into Louis' bedroom last night to see how your movie night went but I noticed that you were still there and you just looked so adorable that I had to capture the moment." She says with a huge grin on her face.
I only blush harder and bang my head against the fridge in frustration, everything just seems to make being with Louis sound like a great idea, and I know it can't happen.
"Something wrong love?" Jay asked, concern clear in her tone.
"I just feel like this is wrong, Louis and I can't be together so there is really no point fueling this romance, I don't want to get either of our hopes up." I say sadly with my eyes closed.
"If that's what you think is the right thing honey." Jay says, patting my back.

Just then I hear someone coming down the stairs.
"Good morning!" Louis shouts in a sing song voice.
"Good morning baby." Jay replies.
"Morning Lou." I say, head still pressed against the photo on the fridge.
"You alright love?" Louis asks me, pressing his hand against my back and rubbing small circles with his thumb.
"I'm fine." I say turning and smiling at him while I take the photo off and slip it into my pocket.
I open the fridge and take out a yoghurt and walk to the other side of the kitchen to grab a spoon.
Louis smiles back at me and starts to prepare his own breakfast.
I sit down to eat my yoghurt and once Louis' breakfast is ready he sits down beside me.
"Hey Liv, don't forget we're going swimming with the boys today." Louis says, sounding excited.
"Yeah, sounds fun." I reply.
Jay has told me that as long as everything is done and she doesn't need me that I can do whatever I like.
"Yeah I'm pumped!" Louis smiles at me.
"Can't wait." I smile at him.
After breakfast I give the whole house a dust and vacuum and do some loads of the girls washing, which is all I needed to do today.
I make sure Jay doesn't need anything else done before going upstairs to get ready to go swimming.
