Downfall [lwt]

Chapter Eleven - Change My Mind

I open the door and the last person I was expecting to see was behind the door.

Louis Tomlinson, himself.

I almost jump out of my skin as I see him standing there with his bags at his side smiling like there's not tomorrow. I run into his arms and we literally almost fall with the impact. "I missed you." He laughs wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I missed you too." I smile. 

"It looks like you were about to go somewhere..." He comments as I let him come in my apartment.

"I was just going to go into town, I didn't know you were coming."

"That's alright, I tried to make it a secret. Hey do you mind if I put my things in yours?" I nod and bite the inside of cheek making sure this is not some cruel dream. 

Although it was only 3 days that we knew each other, I feel like I like him. Of course I have always had a crush on him but not like this. I've always had a crush on the Louis Tomlinson, not Louis Tomlinson, the friend I've come to love. Of course I don't love him... Right? 

He sets his bags down and we head out into the busy town of New York City. "Where do you want to go first?" I ask as we pass fans calling Louis' name.

"Not sure... Just ignore them." I says pointing to the fans following us. "Louis, over here!" A few paparazzi's shouted as we passed them. 

"Bella!" Another pap shouted as I ignored their belligerent comments behind me.

"I'm sorry about this..." He said reaching down for my hand. 

Oh my God... Is he trying to hold my hand? Right now? Okay, Bella, don't freak out. 

"W-What are you doing?" I accidentally snap. He stops and turns to me with a blank emotion.

"Nothing, I just um..." 

Great... Just great, Bella. You probably scared him off.

"I'm sorry..."

"N-No... I mean if you didn't want to then that's fine too." Louis says shoving his hands in his pockets. He shrugs and we continue to walk.

"No... I was just a little surprised. I didn't know you wanted to hold my-" He cuts me off by kneading his hand into mine. "O-Okay..." I say shutting up.

Bella, over here!

Louis, are you and Bella dating?

Are you aware of all of the rumors spreading about you two?

You're Hollywood's new it-couple!

The last comment almost made me choke on the air I was breathing in. I am literally just a lucky fan from New York, everything that has happened in these past two months have gone by like such a blur. I wouldn't even know where to start. "So we're not going anywhere in particular, right?" I ask as Louis smiles. 

"No hurry to get anywhere." He says as I nod wildly. I rush past the paparazzi and fans still calling our names and I run down to a small stream where we lost sight of everyone. I could still hear them calling in the distance, but that meant they wouldn't be catching up with us soon. 

"What's this?" Louis asks sitting down next to me in the grass.

"This is where I come for peacefulness. Sure, it's quite a distance from where I live, but that's never stopped me." I sigh as he wraps his right arm around my shoulder. I rest my head on his shoulder and he smiles down at me.

 "Was your life that hard?" He asks curiously.

"No... It's just that my mom was never around and my dad was having heart failure and when you add all of that onto your schoolwork... Life is pretty hectic."

"I suppose so. I've never really had a normal teenage life." He shrugs as I trace my arm against his tattoos.

"How old were you when you got your first tattoo?"

"16." He laughs as I try to picture him without tattoos and piercings.

"Bella, Louis! Over here!" A voice near us calls. Being the idiots we are, we turn around to have be blinded by flashes. Paparazzi. Of course.

Louis quickly stammers to his feet and pulls me up with one arm. "Let's get back..." The whole walk home, Louis is muttering 'sorry's' left and right. Although I told him that it was alright, he still wasn't having it. Halfway through our walk back to our apartments, I started shivering before I realized it wasn't that hot outside.

"Are you cold?" Louis chuckles as I slowly nod my head. He stops and takes off his leather jacket. It's huge on me but I am still shivering when he pulls me closer to him.

"Who wears a leather jacket in the beginning of summer?" I joke.

"Who doesn't?" 

We get back to my apartment and he grabs his suitcases. "Thanks for a great time today, although it was partially ruined."

"Please don't say that, you can't help it." I smile. He returns the smile and we walk to the door. Just when I think he's going to say something else, he drops his bags and he caresses my lips with his.

It's a gentle, yet passionate kiss and we pull away breathless. He clears his throat and says, "I-I've been wanting to ask you this for a while..."

What if he asks me out

Wait, Bella, don't think like that.

Oh my God, what if he isn't asking that.

 That would be majorly embarrassing, on my part. 

Get it together, Bella!

"Yeah?" I say practically jumping out of my skin.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

AUTHORS NOTE:

 He FINALLY ASKS HER! Except she hasn't said yes yet... She probably will ;). I think Louis forgets that he's just on Vacation... Anywhoo, VOTE, COMMENT, FAN!
