Love Hate

Chapter 14

 ♡

We were back.

For the rest of the tour, I never spoke to Louis.

I was angry and just so sick of arguing.

Louis tried talking to me everyday but I would look away.

I spoke to the boys casually, texting Ari and Ruby majority of the time.

Australia was amazing and the sights were lovely.

I only went out once with Louis, walking the harbor bridge.

I didn't say anything then either.

If I spoke to him we would argue.

So now I was home.

I practically dived onto the couch in Ari, Ruby and I's apartment.

They were at work and we're due back any minute.

I was jet lagged and just laid on the couch, eyes closed.

"Ah!"

squealed Ari when the door opened, practically jumping on me when they walked in the door.

"You're back!"

cheered Ruby happily, joining in on the group hug.

I laughed.

"You are tan! That's so unfair!"

said Ruby looking at my arms and legs.

I hadn't really noticed.

"Meet any American boys?"

said Ari raising her eyebrows.

I threw my head back and laughed.

"No, Louis was like a shadow. It might look a little weird if I had though. I'm dating Tomlinson,"

I sighed dropping back on the couch.

"You are envied by millions of girl's. Consider yourself lucky,"

said Ruby, heading into the kitchen.

"They can take my place. I hardly spoke to Louis the whole time I was there! I'm sick of the arguing and fighting. The stupid feud is old enough!"

I said frustratedly.

We were all quiet for a while till I asked,

" Do you think I'm fat?"

I asked, looking at Ari and Ruby who looked at me.

"You are not fat,"

Ruby shook her head.

"Louis called me fat,"

I mumbled, flicking tv channels.

"Ooh,"

said Ari.

"Don't take it to heart, you always bicker,"

shrugged Ruby.

"It wasn't just that remark, it's the whole fighting thing. Maybe we would've been best friends if we didn't argue but we do. It's...repetitive,"

I groaned.

From then on, the girl's asked questions about the tour, trying to avoid Louis name but I mean he was the reason I was there.

We had dinner and I went to bed early, dead tired.

♡

The next month went by peacefully. I only saw Louis once because he dropped off an old book I leant Lottie.

"I'm sorry for the whole tour thing,"

said Louis handing me the book.

I swallowed, not meeting his eyes as I took the book.

I wanted to get over this.

"It's ok and I'm sorry too,"

I agreed, both of us looking less tense.

"We argue over stupid things,"

said Louis laughing tiredly.

"Yeah. Too often,"

I smiled.

We both looked at each other too long, looking away.

I turned red, fiddling with the book as we stood in my apartment door.

"Tony needs us next week on Friday night at the studio. More...details about the girlfriend thing,"

coughed Louis.

"And boyfriend thing,"

I mumbled, nodding awkwardly.

All awkwardness disappeared as soon as Louis opened his mouth.

"Well, it's mainly the girlfriend. We have to tell and teach you,"

said Louis cheekily.

"Yeah. But you are the one with the horrible boyfriend skills,"

I said, folding my arms.

"Me? You are so unconvincing I don't know how anyone believes you,"

scoffed Louis.

"You are a horrible boyfriend,"

I snapped, annoyed we were arguing again. Same old us.

"You are a terrible girlfriend,"

Louis said madly, turning on his heels and walking down the hall.

"I'd find a better boyfriend anywhere,"

I said, about to walk inside when Louis spoke again.

"Well could a terrible boyfriend do this?"

asked Louis, coming back and spinning me against his chest.

He knocked my legs from beneath me, holding me like a superhero.

"God Louis,"

I muttered.

"See?"

said Louis quietly, looking at me patiently.

I looked away, this was too close.

I could smell his minty breath and his eyes were so bright.

The tousled hair and messy look suited him.

As if he knew what the effect of it was on me, he whispered in my war, lips grazing my ear.

"See? I leave my girlfriend overwhelmed,"

he said, chuckling to himself as I scrambled out of his arms, falling on the floor with a thud.

Louis laughed and I glared, fixing myself up.

"I'll uh, see you on Friday,"

I nodded, Louis still laughing as he disappeared.

My face was red and I felt hot.

I sighed, I didn't know what to think of Louis.
