Strings Attached. (Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter Five

Dinner tonight at six?
Louis xoxo

That's the note that I find on my studio door the next day. I sigh, tearing off the note and heading inside. I scribble a note to stick to his studio door.

I'm sorry. I can't.
Kylie

No xoxo. I just rejected him when he asked me on a date. I feel so bad, especially because I'm falling for him, but I can't. No strings.

My day at the studio went by painfully slow. I've hit yet another writing slump. No words were being translated onto my page. I need Louis to write.

I've just broken Louis' heart. I know I did. How can I write a love song when I've just killed someone's love for me?

I curl up in bed, under my fluffy white duvet. In the process of breaking Louis' heart, I've broken my own.

"Kylie?" I hear Louis' voice whisper, making me jump.

I quickly wipe away my tears. "Louis? What are you doing here? And how did you even get in?"

"Why won't you go out with me?" Louis asks, sadness laced in his voice.

"Louis, I don't like dating. I travel and I leave at the drop of a hat. I don't wanna have ties keeping me in this one place. I can't live like that and I won't live like that." Wow, I don't even believe my own words.

"Ties? What are you talking about?" Louis wonders, sitting in front of me on the bed. "Just because you have a boyfriend in London doesn't mean you can't travel."

"That's not what I'm saying. You don't understand." I snap, leaning against the headboard and crossing my arms.

Louis comes closer. "Then help me understand! Kylie, isn't it clear I have feelings for you? I wanna make this work."

"London doesn't have very good memories for me." I mumble, my eyes tearing up again. "I don't wanna risk making more bad memories."

"But what if you make good memories?" Louis whispers, resting his hand on my cheek. "Please give me a chance. I wouldn't ever break your heart."

I pause for a moment. "But I broke your heart. Why are you still trying? I've been nothing but rude to you."

"Love makes you do crazy things." Louis shrugs, making me laugh.

I blush, closing my eyes for a moment. "Yeah, I guess it does."

Before I can open my eyes, Louis has pressed his lips against mine. I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck.

Maybe I'll give love another try.
