Still The One

Twenty Three

He nodded. I checked to see if the coast was clear of Harry and the others.

‘Great. So I’ve decided to break up with you. But we’ll still be friends.’ I added along very quickly before he reacted. He just nodded. ‘But remember, we’re still like best friends, but just not more than that, okay?’ I said.

He said, ‘Okay, but can I kiss you one more time? If only Niall allows me.’ Niall thought for a moment and shrugged. ‘Well, we’re like brothers, so, ummm, yeah, you can kiss her one last time.’ ‘Thanks bro.’ Louis said to him and hugged him. Niall was almost in tears now. ‘I’m really sorry that I caused so much pain to you, Louis. I’m extremely sorry.’ He said in a weak voice. ‘Apology granted.’ Louis said to him while they kept hugging.

‘Oh, bromance.’ I commented and they parted.

Then Louis came to me. ‘I’ll miss ya, babe.’ He said and kissed me one last time.

It was all very emotional.

 The kiss was a long and memorable one. Louis had his hand stroking my hair. It didn’t stop until Niall cleared his throat. ‘Just because I gave you permission doesn’t mean you’ll kiss her forever.’ He complained like a grumpy kid. We laughed.

‘Now let’s get out of this memorable washroom.’ I said. ‘Yeah, this place IS memorable.’ Niall said. ‘We did...’ After realizing what he was about to say, he stopped himself. But we both knew that Louis understood.

But he also understood that we are only friends now.

‘Oh, there you are, guys! We’re gonna go to eat in a few minutes!’ Liam said when he saw us. ‘Really? YAY!’ Niall and I shouted together like when girls scream when they go shopping.

 

 

I suddenly felt like I had a stomachache. ‘Will you excuse me for a sec?’ I told. ‘Sure’ Zayn replied.
