chapter 9
LOUIS' POV
My vision was blurred and I stumbled onto the dance floor. There were girls clawing after me, but I shrugged them off. I didn't want some slut all over me; that would make me look like some kind of drunken, clubbing manwhore.
"Excuse m--" I began as a girl's body bumped against mine, causing her to trip a bit. I eyed her perfect curves and beautiful hair and knew who she was almost instantly. "Oh..." I said finally as she turned, slowly, to face me.
Eventually her eyes met mine, and I saw a world of sadness that reflected my own. Then, almost like she had perceived my feelings, a glaze went over her pupils. She refused to let me see how intense her emotions were.
"Hello, Louis," she muttered.
"S... S... So... S..." I gasped. My lungs felt useless, my heart began overworking, and my tongue was tied in knots. She put a spell on me...
"What the heck is wrong with you?" Sophie spat the words out bitterly. I felt like a puppy that no one wanted, the last one left after all of its brothers and sisters had been adopted. I felt horribly unwanted.
"You... You're... You're just so... beautiful..." I smiled as I stuttered out the words I had wanted to say to her for years.
Sophie allowed her eyes to soften briefly before digging into me again, daring me to compliment her again.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sophie's words tore into my heart.
"I'm... I'm happy to see you again..." I still couldn't bring myself to say her name.
"You... really?" Her gaze dropped to the ground and I let the corner of my lip slide up into slight grin.
"I... I've missed... you..." I mumbled into my shoulder, not sure if she could even hear me.
"Yeah..." I waited for her to say she had missed me too, but she never did. I guess she really did leave and never look back.
Some DJ's voice rang through the loudspeakers, saying that a slow song was about to play.
"Pshhh, since when do they play slow songs at clubs...?" I pretended to be confused, but I knew what was happening. Harry was behind this.
When the first beats of "Autumn Leaves" by Ed Sheeran started playing, Sophie visibly tensed. I almost smiled. Yeah, this was definitely Harry's doing. "Autumn Leaves" was our song... Sophie's and mine... from way back when you were dating...
"Soph?" I asked as my friend Ed's voice came over the sound system. She glanced up at me, meeting my gaze.
"What Louis?" Sophie sounded almost annoyed, so I became more and more nervous. Fortunately, her eyes had more forgiveness in them than her words.
"Um... uhhh, so..." I found myself myself stuttering in the presence of this beautiful girl.
"Spit it out, Lou," she muttered, placing a little hand on her perfectly curved hip.
"Wanna dance?" I spit out, hoping with all my heart she would say yes.
"If you'll leave me alone, then sure... why not?" Sophie threw one arm over my shoulder and placed the other in mine limply.
I shivered, then shook it off. What was wrong with me? I dated tons of hot girls. Why would Sophie be any different?
But as she moved closer and closer to me, I began to wonder...
****
Ok, so if y'all haven't listened to "Autumn Leaves," then you need to. It's basically the sweetest song ever. I would kill to have that as my "couple song..." I mean, I'd have to get the perfect boyfriend first (coughcoughliampaynecoughcough) ... but... you know. Anyway, listen to the song! (and every other Ed Sheeran song because Ed is amazing)
