Change My Mind

34

If you listen to To Build A Home by the Cinematic Orchestra it makes this chapter have so much emotion :) sometimes I like to listen to music when I read, it makes it seem much more real) 

Louis:

        I took a cab to the destination that Harry told me. The sun was starting to set and the sky was filled with beautiful colors of orange, blue, and light pink. The park was about 30 minutes away, the cab driver told me. He also asked me if I had a date because, 'it's the most romantic place to bring your' girl'. He said. I just nodded, not wanting to say I was meeting my band member.

        I finally arrived to the park. It was completely empty, looking deserted and abandoned.  I walked down the cemented path until I reached the ocean; just as Harry told me. Though the path lead to a dock stretching out the ocean side. I could see a table in the distance and I walked down the wooden dock until I reached the table that was conveniently set for two. On the table laid a note, it read:

        Have fun ;) xxH

        I set the note down and confusingly looked around. What was Harry doing? 

         I picked up a lone red rose from the table that was draped with a white tablecloth. I shook my head, this looked exactly like a date. Maybe Harry was setting me up. All of the lads wanted me to get back to my normal self, so maybe a date with someone I didn't know, would be good for me... 

        Just then I heard footsteps walking on the wooden dock, behind me. I turned around to have my complete breath taken away.

Katie:

      My nerves were going ballistic. My hands were shaking like crazy and my insides felt like they were turning inside out. Louis just stood at the end of the dock, staring into my soul. Maybe this was a bad idea. I thought. What if Louis was over me? What if Harry was lying or misjudged Louis' feelings, and he didn't really miss me? I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

          I smiled shyly as I walked to Louis. He was holding a rose, a look of shock plastered on his face. I smoothed out my long, black, lace dress as I stood directly in front of him. 

        "Louis," I whispered, as I reached out and took the rose from his hand. "I miss you.." I continued, "and... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you, when I shouldn't have." 

        He then put his hand on the side of my cheek, almost as if he were seeing this was real, making sure I was really here and not just a figment of his imagination. My skin tingled with his touch and my body unconsciously moved closer to him. He pulled me into a hug, and he squeezed me so hard as I started to breath in his cologne. I missed it so much. We just stood there, hugging for the longest time. It felt like he didn't want to let me go, didn't want to let me run away again. The wind blew and I just shut my eyes, savouring this moment.

        "I'm never going to hurt you again." He whispered. His voice was like music to my ears, sounding much more real and raw, in person than on the television. I squeezed my eyes to make sure any tears wouldn't slip between my eyelids. "Don't you ever leave me again." He hummed. I shook my head, I would never leave. I then pulled away and instantly pushed my lips to his. My entire body warmed with tingles and I kissed him with all my might. His hands gradually cupped my face as I held onto his waist. It was the best feeling I had ever felt. I felt, complete, and content. Louis was home, and I needed home. 

        "Katie," Louis said when he pulled away from our kiss, "Katie, I love you." He admitted. I smiled and nodded,

        "I love you too." I spoke before I was cut off  by his lips meeting mine once again.

        I took another bite of my chicken, that was much too dry and a little over-cooked; but the night was perfect, sitting here with Louis. After being reunited and making up lost time of being in his arms and missing his sweet kisses, we finally sat to eat our already cold food. We were quiet at first. Eating our food peacefully and just enjoying being in each other's company. Many times he caught me looking at him and I caught him gazing into my eyes. He reached over the table and grabbed my hand, pressing his lips to the edge of my finger tips. I smiled before leaning over the table and giving him a lingering kiss to the lips. 

        "Dance with me." He said suddenly, standing from his chair and walking over to me. He stuck out his hand and I grabbed a hold of it. He helped me up and pulled me to the edge of the dock. The moon was at it's peak in the black sky, and the stars were the brightest I've ever seen them before. I wrapped my arms around Louis' neck as he held my waist. We swayed back and forth to the quiet ripple of the water beside us. The wind blew the trees softly, and distant sound of boat horns somewhere in the dark ocean made the night even more perfect. "You're so beautiful." He whispered. I rested my chin on his shoulder and held him closer,

        "Thank you," I whispered back. I closed my eyes, feeling his hot breath on my neck as he softly left a trail of kisses down it. I smiled, pulling away and pressing my lips to his, my heart pumping faster as our kisses became more eager. I pulled away and kicked off my black heels,

        "What are you doing?" He asked, chuckling. 

        "Take off your shoes!" I said. He smiled taking off his shoes and socks.  He then pulled off his jean jacket, revealing a light blue button-up shirt underneath. I grabbed his hand, "Ready?" I asked. He kissed my cheek before pulling me forward, us both plunging into the warm water. We surfaced, Louis' laugh echoing in the night air. "Louis!" I shouted, swimming towards him and wrapping my legs around his waist. 

        "What?" He asked, smiling. He gripped my legs with his hands to help keep me above the water.

        "We always go on three." I said. He moved his hand to wipe away a stray piece of wet hair away from my face. 

        "I wanted this time to be different." He muttered. I kissed him softly, 

        "I love you so much." I made known. 

        "and I love you."
