Running Through the Dark

Chapter 24

LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEW

I quickly took the money from Liam and walked out the door with Kurt following closely. As the door shut I swallowed the lump in my throat, I was going to be alone, alone with Kurt, another gay guy. And he was a quite attractive gay guy. We were walking down the path when I heard it, that all too familiar beep that the camera focused, then that click of a picture being taken.

"Kurt, we need to run to that black range rover,"

"Wait, what,"

"RUN," I hastily

whisper-yelled taking Kurts smooth hand in mine and racing down the stone path to the car.

Now I could see the paparazzi. I knew they were there so they had no point in hiding. They stood up from there hiding spots behind cars and bushes and snapped photos as I led Kurt to the car. Kurt and I swiftly jumped into the car. Once the doors were locked, we were safe. The tinted windows obstructed the onlooking gossipers. I looked to Kurt to see him fixing his hair in the mirror. I let out a puff of air as I smiled at Kurt.

"Well..... that was..... interesting,"

"Yeah, sorry about that Kurt, the paparazzi are... kinda extreme."

I turned around in my chair to peer in the back of the car, "Dammit! Harry took the hoodie out of here. It'll be harder than we thought to hide from fans and paparazzi."

"Here take mine," Kurt said as he unzipped the under armor sweatshirt. He handed it to me with a genuine smile displayed.

I thanked him and pulled it in over my T-shirt. As I did so, I allowed my eyes to travel over his torso. The top half of his body was adorned by a white tank top that showed off his muscular and perfectly tanned arms. Kurt cleared his throat and I looked up to see his face bright red. Only then had I noticed that I had been staring. I felt a warm heat spread through my cheeks. I turned back to face front and pulled the car out of the driveway. Once we were out on the road, I turned the radio on. Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift pumped through the speakers through out the car. I was humming along. When I quietly heard a new voice. It slowly got louder as if it was gaining confidence. Kurt sang along with Taylor as she sang about some other ex-boyfriend of hers. When it came Ed's time to join in, my voice mashed with Kurt's as we sang together. Kurt was really good. He had a much higher vocal range than I did and I found it incredibly attractive that he was so good. Just as the song faded out, we pulled into the parking lot outside of Coldstone Creamery. I turned the car off and looked towards Kurt, he had a smile on his lips that looked like it would never leave. We stepped out of the car and began crossing the street. My knuckles lightly brushed his as my arm dangled at my side. I really wanted to individually lock my fingers with his. And feel his smooth skin against mine. But I knew I couldn't. Not here, not now. So we entered the bright ice cream store and I pulled the hood over my head. We walked up to order and I let Kurt order first.

"I'll have a small Mint ice cream with brownies and hot fudge please,"

The woman helping us bit her lip as she nodded at him, "Sure thing babe,"

She said seductively. He just ignored her and stepped back. I placed in my simple order of chocolate ice cream before passing Kurt to pay. I pushed Kurt's hand away as he tried to pay. He frowned before agreeing. I received my change before walking away. With my back still turned I heard the woman talking to Kurt.

"Hey, we should hang out sometime, you could take me to dinner or something," She spoke quietly, but not quiet enough.

"Umm... I'm actually gay..."

She cut him off, "I can change that, I can show you a good time, make you forget every other boy,"

Kurt remained speechless for a moment so I turned around. And wrapped an arm around Kurt.

"Miss, I'd appreciate it if you stopped flirting with my boyfriend. Thanks," I snapped as I pulled Kurt out of the parlor.

Once we were out, I took my arm of from around him.

Clearly confused, Kurt asked, "What just happened?"

"She was being annoying and rude and it was bothering me, so I stepped in,"

Kurt gave me a bright smile before thanking me. I nodded before walking to the small bench and sitting down. We sat side by side quietly eating our ice cream. Since we barely knew each other it was kinda awkward with nothing to talk about. So we just sat there for a few minutes, glancing at each other while the other wasn't looking. Why am I finding itso hard to be myself around Kurt? Cause he's gay and freaking hot.

KURT'S POINT OF VIEW

I could feel the tension radiating from Louis. What was making him so nervous? As I was contemplating this, a loud high pitched scream blared in my ears. My entire body jumped causing the ice cream to tumble from my grip. It landed on Louis's lap. I quickly gasped before taking napkins to try to clean it. I rubbed the spot before realizing that the spot was right on his crotch. I felt the pants tighten beneath my napkin, did I really have that effect on him? No it's just the moment, and the coldness. I drew away my presence and allowed Louis to clean it himself while I spoke my apologies. Louis told me not to worry but I still felt bad. Not seconds later, I looked up to see a teenage girl standing in front of us.

"OMG!! IT'S LOUIS TOML....."

Louis stood up and asked her to not announce their presence. She gladly nodded and asked for a picture. I gladly took it for her. Then she asked for Louis to kiss her on the cheek, he obliged placing his lips to her dimple. Then she turned to me and asked for a picture. I nodded but was confused why she wanted one with me. I smiled anyway and waved to the girl as she walked away.

"Why did she want the picture with me?"

"Not to sound cocky or rude, but it's cuz your with me. You could be on the cover of all those gossip magazines just for this day,"

I was shocked. I mean I know Louis is famous and all. But the way he's acting I would think that he's just an average guy. But there is nothing average about Louis Tomlinson.

AUTHORS NOTE

tadaaa so I added to last chapter cuz it was extremely short. But expect an update from me on monday unless i say other wise. Anyone ever been on an awkward date? I know I have. We resorted to talking about how many push-ups we could do. He asked how many I could do and after I told him he was like "That's it?" Yah he wasn't very nice. but yeah thats my story of the day. Share ur most awkward date or moment with friends or family or anyone.
