It feels like it takes Niall and Stan an hour to finally drift away from the subject of 'the kiss of the century' according to Niall but in reality, Stan got distracted by his phone fifteen minutes later. I ask the lads if they want to play a couple of games as it's still quite early and I'm not in the mood to go out but Niall ditches me to hang out with Liam over at his place and Stan wants to catch up on work. In Niall's defence, he did ask me to join him but I declined his offer.

"So it's just you and me. Or are you ditching me too?" I ask Louis with a cheeky wink as I get up from the table and take the empty bowls into the kitchen. Louis follows behind me with the cutlery and napkins and drops everything onto the island in the middle of the room. He places his hand on his chest telling me he would never ditch me, feigning a shocked expression. He helps me put everything in the dishwasher and leans back against the island as I throw away the rubbish. When I turn around the urge to kiss him is strong but I'm not sure where we stand right now. We've kissed but we're not dating or anything, would he even want to date me? How does this work? I have never been this gone for someone. Previous relationships were alright but I can honestly say I never was in love with them so this thing with Louis is uncharted territory.

I can see his eyes scan over my body with what I'd like to think is lust and it's making me a little insecure. "C'mere" he holds out his hand for me to take and all I can do is just give in to the temptation. I grab his hand and he immediately pulls me toward him gently, placing his hands on my waist to keep me from walking away, not that I was planning to anyway. I fidget with my hands in between our bodies, not sure what to do or say.

"You think too much," Louis says after a short silence. The comment makes me look up and I find the blue orbs that I could get completely lost in staring back at me. He suggests to just take things slow and see where it takes us. "What if I screw up?" I sigh. "Then we'll find a way to work things out" he tries to comfort me and I sure hope he's right.

"Let's live while we're young" he smirks but I just roll my eyes and place my arms around his neck. "Define slow" I don't want to do anything he's not comfortable with or vice versa so I think it's good to get things straight and wait for his answer as my fingers caress the back of his neck. "I want to take you out on a proper date and go from there," he says, clearly enjoying the touch as he leans his head back just a tiny bit.

"You're going to wine and dine me?" I ask teasingly. "The whole shebang" he nods. The butterflies in my stomach haven't left me alone all night but I'm not sure I really mind them anymore. "Does taking it slow mean I can't do this?" I ask and swiftly kiss his cheek. The smile that the small gesture brings to his face is too much to handle. "I think that's perfectly acceptable" he chuckles.

"Or this?" I say and peck his lips. "I'm not sure, I think I need further examination before I can make a decision" he replies smugly. I press my lips against his softly and just like before our lips move together like they've never known anything else, like it's meant to be. The hands on my waist pull me closer to him, chests pressed together. Previous kisses with guys I dated or just met in a club escalated quickly, hands moving to my arse or crotch but Louis takes it slowly just like he said earlier. He makes sure he's not going to fast, whereas other guys would have stuck their tongue down my throat after approximately three seconds.

We're interrupted when my phone goes off. I pull back knowing it could be important but don't fail to miss the whine coming from Louis as he releases me from his hold. It turns out not to be anything that needs immediate attention and Louis and I move over to the living room. We sit down and just talk for a while before I bring up his date. "So, Matthew?" I raise my eyebrow because I didn't even know Louis was looking for someone to date and now that I know he liked me, it's even got me more confused.
