Ariel's POV:

I was currently running around my room trying to find the perfect outfit for the night out with Louis. I was extremely nervous for some reason and I didn't know why I would be feeling this way.

I don't know what kind of date this is, so I get my phone and text Louis really quickly hoping he'd reply.

To: Louis

What should I wear?

Within a minute I had my answer, one I particularly cringed at.

From: Louis

Wear a dress for me, we are going out ;)

I groaned out loud and scowled at my phone before tossing it on my bed and going back to my closet to find a dress. Curse Louis and him making me dress up for him.

The last time I wore a dress around him was at that party and we all know how that turned out. I flicked through my hangers and my eyes landed on a black dress I had bought with my mom about a month ago.

It was a high-low dress that was actually really pretty. It was simple but for me it was dressy enough for tonight. If Louis thinks he's getting me in a slutty dress he needs to find himself another girl.

I slipped the dress on, it hugging my curves but not too tight on me, it was actually perfect. I grabbed some nude heels from my closet and put them on my bed to put on when I was finished.

I started on my hair, lightly curling it before pinning up both sides and letting little pieces fall down on my face. I grabbed my makeup bag and sat down on my little bench to start on that.

I did my base and mascara then grabbed my black eyeliner. I applied it to the top and bottom of my eyes before grabbing my eyeshadow and doing a light smokey-eye.

"Done." I whisper to myself and check my phone, seeing it was 6:45. I was doing good on time, I had 15 minutes to spare. I brushed my teeth and put on some lipgloss, making my lips shimmer.

I put on my heels and grab a purse, throwing my keys and phone in them with some money. I carefully walked downstairs and into the mirror, turning in a circle before nodding in approval. This will do.

I was pretty sure I'd be home before my mom got off work so I didn't bother sending her a text or anything. As I was getting lost in my thoughts a knock sounded at the door, bringing me to the current situation.

I walked to the door and opened it, revealing Louis' smiling face. When he saw me his eyes went wide and his mouth dropped. I giggled, a small blush on my cheeks as his eyes raked over my body. "You look absolutely beautiful Ariel." he compliments and I bite my lip, looking down.

I finally took a good look at him, taking in what he was wearing. He had a white t-shirt on and dark jeans, but he looked great, he didn't need anything else. Actually he had a leather jacket in his arms that I had just noticed.

"Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself." I say and he smirks, his eyes still glued to me. "Shall we go babe?" He asks and I nod, a blush sill evident on my cheeks.

He takes my hand and leads me to his car before opening the door for me and helping me inside. He closed the door and walked over to his side and got in, starting the car. "Where are we going?" I ask curiously and he smirks from the side.

"Not telling you that babe. It's a surprise." He says and I huff. "Meany." I say and his lips twitch upwards. "You're just trying to make me feel bad now aren't you?" he asks and I giggle, biting my lip to suppress my laughter.

"You know, I wouldn't be teasing me like that if I were you, you'll regret it." he says playfully and an idea pops in my head. I'm known to be a tease, so why not?

I place a hand on his thigh and he sucks in a breath. "Wh-what are you doing?" he asks, trying to keep his breath steady as I tap my fingers on his upper thigh. "I don't think you can do anything to make me regret this right now." I tease and he releases a shaky laugh.

"You're really asking for it Ariel, first wearing that sexy dress and now teasing me with your touch and it's driving me insane." He growls and I'm shocked by the abruptness in his tone. Did he really think like that???

I smiled but kept my hand on his thigh, gently squeezing it in appreciation of his words, but he didn't take it that way. He groaned and gave me a quick look from the corner of his eyes and I had to look away because of the intensity of them.

"You're really close Ariel, you realize that?" he asks breathily and I look to see where my hand was. Oh. It's really close to his...thing. I bit my lip and removed my hand, nervous because I hadn't really meant to be that close to him.

"Danggit Ariel you are such a tease you know that?? I'm really going to have to punish you for this." He says in a half-joking tone and I shyly look up at him to see his cocky smirk on his face. Uh oh, he's serious.

The rest of the ride is quiet as I try to figure what Louis could possibly do to 'punish' me for my actions. Ugghh me and my stupid brain, wanting to tease him as he drives, how stupid could I get??

He pulls up to a nice looking restaurant and I can't keep the smile off my face, it's the same one he asked me to be his girlfriend at. I actually found that really sweet.

"So, I know the waiter we had last time was awful but I promise we won't have one like that this time and if we do we can leave immediately and-" he rambles and I reach over, placing my finger over his mouth to silence him.

"Shh, it's alright Louis, I love this." I say and he smiles through my fingers. He takes my hand and kisses it before slowly looking at me, a mischievous look on his face. Oh no. Before I had time to react he pulled me over the seat in one swift motion to where I was on top of him.

"What are you doing?" I squeal and he smirks at me. "Payback my darling." He says and I blush before his lips crash to mine, his arms snaking around my back whole my hands went to his hair. He leaned his chair back, not breaking the kiss, and laid back with me on top of him.

His hands went down and squeezed my butt playfully, making me gasp in shock. He took the opportunity and plunged his tongue into my mouth and I battled for dominance with my own tongue. This kiss was getting heated and for some reason I liked it, and I could feel the same spark I had when I kissed him the first time.

One of his hands held me to him while the other one went the the bottom of my dress, playing with the ends of it. "Payback my darling." That's what he meant. Crap.

I pulled away from him breathlessly, hoping that would get him to stop, but it didn't. He started to lift up my dress and my breathing hitched a little, nervous for this amount of touch he was giving me. I started to kiss his neck and jawline hoping that would prove to be a distraction.

It didn't.

He continued to work his hands up my dress before stopping at the top of my thighs. My heart was beating erratically and my breath was coming out in short, choppy breaths. Before he could go any further I sat up, staring down at him as he stared up at me with a smile.

"Part one." He says and I gulp at the seriousness in his voice. That can't be good.

I got off of him quickly and tried to climb back over to my spot but he stopped me, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me back onto his lap. "Don't be shy babe, this is going to be fun." He says and I shoot him a glare. He laughs in response and opens his door, helping me out first before climbing out himself.

He reaches over and grabs my purse for me before closing the door and handing me my purse. "You might wanna fix your dress babe." He says with a smirk and my eyes widen as I look down to see my dress still hitched up to the top of my thighs. I quickly pull it down and Louis chuckles, wrapping an arm around me.

"I don't want anyone else looking at what's mine." He says and I frown. Who says I was his??? He notices my frown and stops, looking me in the eye. "What's that face for babe?" He asks and I sigh.

"What do you mean I'm 'yours'?" I ask and he gives me a crooked grin. "Well, you are my girlfriend, and so you belong to me." He says and I scrunch up my nose. I hated it when people called me 'theirs'. It brought back to many painful memories.

"Umm...can you not say that though?" I ask quietly and look down, ashamed of my request. Louis hooked a finger under my chin and lifted my face up slowly so that I was looking at him. "Why not? Do you not want anyone to know?" he asks, a bit hurt and I shake my head.

"No it's not that! It's just...my...past." I say and his eyes widen but he doesn't say a word, just nods his head. "Alright baby, I won't say anything about it." he says and I smile, hugging him gratefully.

I don't know when I even began to like him but I did and that was crazy to me. I've never truly liked a guy and of all people Louis wouldn't be the one I'd expect to take a liking for.

We sat down at our table and ordered our food before Louis started a conversation I was hoping to avoid.

"What's happened to you Ariel? In your past?" He asks and I sigh, looking down. "Louis I really don't want to talk about it in a public place, okay? It's really personal." I say and he nods his head slowly.

"Okay, but you will tell me?" He asks and I think it over, looking up at him carefully. Should I really trust a guy with my deepest and darkest secret? Will he betray me with it? I've only told Kristi and my mom about it and that wasn't the whole of it anyways.

"I'll...I'll tell you, most of it." I say guarded and he smiles to me. "I'm glad to hear that." He says and I give him my best smile. He changes the subject and soon we start talking about everything until our food comes and we eat.

Dinner goes by fast after that and before I know it we are already back in his car and going back to my house. "I've had a fun time tonight Ariel, I hope you have too." He says and I nod. "Yes I have." I say and he smiles.

He pulls up to my house and walks me up to the front door. Instead of just making him leave I invite him inside and we go sit on the couch.

"Louis, I-" I start but he cuts me off by smashing his lips to mine. I immediately respond and put my arms around his neck, my fingers running through his hair. He grabs my waist and tugs me closer to him, closing the gap between us.

His hands tug my dress up and I gasp a little by his forward actions. He breaks the kiss and kisses my neck before biting softly at the skin. I bite my lip to suppress my moan and I accidentally whimper, which makes him let out a heavy breath.

"You look so incredible tonight baby." he whispers in my ear and I gasp as his hand tries to slip in my dress. I grab his hands and pull both of them up, which causes me to fall back with Louis on top of me. He gives me a smirk and I take in a deep breath.

He starts to take off one strap of my dress and I freeze, memories unwillingly running through my brain and now all I see is Brendon's cruel face and I let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Louis sits back with wide eyes as I continue to shake, my visions coming back with full force and I started to thrash around, the images not leaving my mind.

Suddenly all I feel is arms wrapping around me and a voice trying to calm me down. I look up and see Louis giving me a frantic look, trying to get me out of my spastic state. Tears fall from my eyes as I calm down and he envelopes me in a hug, stroking my hair and whispering in my ear.

"Babe what happened? Did I do something?" He asks and I shake my head, my shaky hands fisting his shirt as the images slowly went away. He's the only one who's ever made them go away, I don't know how he did it.

"It wasn't you...it's me I'm sorry." I whisper and he pulls me away from him to look me in the eye. "This has to do with your past doesn't it?" He asks and I nod my head. He takes a deep breath before looking at me again. "Ari, tell me. You can trust me." He says and I sigh.

"I'll tell you."
