Schemer

Chapter 14

We hiked for an estimated two miles before turning around and walking the whole four miles back. An eight mile hike is his plan of a good date?

We got back to the car and I was huffing and puffing like I never thought I have before so much as of right now when I see Louis laughing and shaking his head.

"What- are- you- laughing- *gulp* about?" I asked between breaths and swigs of water that never meant so much to me until this moment.

"Your appearance." He laughs even more and when I notice, he only has markings of sweat on his chest and under his armpits. He isn't even breathing heavy.

"What- ever." I reply, leaning against the red mustang. "Do you do this a lot?" I wonder out loud.

"Well, I come out here to escape my anger I guess. I'm used to running, but I didn't this time, and it's really peaceful out here." He says as he leans against the car with his elbow, resting his chin comfortably in his left hand.

I nod in silence as I'm looking around at the listens played on cars. There are people from everywhere! New Jersey, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawaii, even.

I could have sworn I saw one from another country..

"What do you want to do now?"

"Take a dang shower, I feel disgusting, and I don't want to hang around you smelling and looking like this." I say, making a face and gesturing towards my soaked body and tangled hair.

He laughed and shook his head again. Maybe I'm too worried about my appearance?

We drove home listening to music and him admiring me humming along to some different songs.

I took a shower at his flat and changed into one of his dark grey sweatshirts with the logo of his soccer team printed in bright green on the front. I threw on a pair of spandex just to be comfortable and to complete the getup.

"The kickers, huh?" I said giggling as I walked into the living room, finding him lounged on the couch watching -of course- a soccer game. "Great name for a soccer team!" I exaggerated.

He acted playfully hurt, but the pain dissolved and all that was left was Louis choking on air.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Crystal don't do that to me." Louis breathed. I looked down and his pants were tighter than before. He threw a pillow on himself and leaned against it.

"Do what?" I asked confused.

"You act like you're so innocent, wearing those dang spandex around me. Gosh, what are you trying to do to me?" He asked, getting up and laughing before turning around and picking me up by the thighs to get tossed back onto the couch. I laughed and tried to playfully fling my foot at him and kicked his butt before he left to take a shower.

"Yeah, real fun teasing me." He yelled back in and I couldn't help but keep laughing.
