"Shhhh! They've had a long night, don't wake them up!" I hear a voices which wake me up the next morning. "Awww I'm gonna take a picture!" Another voice says. I'm only half awake, my eyes still closed, my head nestled comfortably on the pillow.

But hearing someone say that they're going to take a picture wakes me up fully. God knows what I look like right now, and why on earth would anyone want a picture of me sleeping? That's just downright creepy.

Opening my eyes cautiously, I now realize that I wasn't resting my head on the pillow, I was on Louis' chest. His arm is around me like a protective shield. And the voices were of my fellow interns cooing at this "adorable" couple moment. "No pictures." My voice startles them.

"Oh gosh you're awake!" Hayley shrieks. I look up at her, scowling. She shrinks back against the wall. I know it would be one thousand times less awkward if I were to just sit up and get out of Louis' arms, but as much as I hate to admit it, I like the way it feels to have his arm around my body.

Just as I am thinking this, Louis wakes with a yawn, followed by a muttered "Jesus Christ!" when he opens his eyes to see the interns gathered around us. Rubbing his eyes, Louis looks around the room until his eyes land on me. Immediately he smiles and I can't help but think how good he is at pretending to be in a relationship with me.

"Come on guys, let's leave them to get cleaned up for work." Kit says, ushering everyone out of the on call room. Now it's just me and Louis. "That was weird." I say, subconsciously snuggling closer to him. "So you're talking to me again now are you?" He muses. I blush, I'd completely forgotten about our fight yesterday.

"I guess so." I admit awkwardly. Suddenly I am aware of how the two of us are positioned. I've got my head on crook of his arm, my hands resting absently on his chest. His arms are around my body, his head nearly resting on top of mine. It's such an intimate position to be in and for an unknown reason, neither of us make any effort to get out of it.

No one is even around to see, yet we remain in such a position that we would have put ourselves in for show. It may be because Louis and I have spent a lot of time together and already formed a bond, and so this doesn't feel weird or unnatural to us. Working in a hospital does make us extremely comfortable with the human body, but obviously not in an intimate way.

Finally I make myself sit up, and when I do so, Louis follows suit. "We should probably get up and get on with our day." I say more to my lap than to Louis. I don't know about Louis, but now that we have gotten up and untangled ourselves from each other, I'm suffocated in an enormous amount of emotions.

I feel both awkward and comfortable. I'm speechless but also want to say everything on my mind. My body is torn between sitting on the bed, not touching Louis like I am, and kissing him. I have no idea where the urge to kiss that boy came from, but it took complete control of my body.

I turn to look at him, and find him looking right back at me. I lean in, my hand reaching up to the back of his neck and gently pulling him closer. So many thoughts are rushing through my mind, I can't even control what my body is doing. I press my mouth against his, and kiss him. It's like I'm in a daze of some sort, like my mind and body are two separate functions and my body is more dominant.

I've got no control. My hand slides up his neck and I run my fingers through his soft brown hair. This kiss is unlike any of the others we've shared. I've never felt this way when kissing someone except for one other occasion.

I've lost it. I need Louis, I need him, his body. I climb on top of him, straddling his torso. I want him so bad. But then the wanting stops. What has become of me? Why am I receiving these feelings? Gasping for air, I pull away. "I'm sorry." I cover my face with my hands. I don't even know if he wanted to kiss me, I just went ahead and did it. "Finley, where did that come from? Nobody is here." Louis says quietly.
