Change of Plans

Chapter 5

He kissed me.

I kissed him back.

I think I love Louis.

Louis' lips were so soft and sweet and warm. It was everything I'd ever wanted.

When the need for air became too strong, he pulled away and smiled at me.

"D-did I really do that before?" I asked him, I think I'd definitely remember kissing Louis.

"You did, but that's not important now. You need to sleep," he pushed my slightly damp hair away from my eyes. His face softened. And right before getting up to leave, Louis brushed his lips softly across mine. Not kissing, just gently brushed them across, lingered for a second, then were gone. "Sleep tight." He smiled and his eyes crinkled up at the corners.

"Wai-wait Louis," but he had already shut the door and I was again alone in my room. He left the room and left me unbelievably turned on, and a not-so-little problem stayed behind as well.

I squirmed around and tried to get comfortable again. I lay down and wrapped myself in my comforter. But as soon as my head hit the pillow and I closed my eyes I realized how absolutely exhausted I was.

After sleeping for a couple hours, I woke up and rubbed my eyes. The sun was setting outside my window. I quickly dressed in some sweatpants and an old t-shirt that was much too big, even for me and walked halfway down the stairs, then saw Louis. He was sitting on the couch in the living room watching tv and I froze. I still wasn't sure how to act around him and I felt a bit awkward. I mean how are you supposed to act around a person that is kind of your friend and they kissed you. Come to think of it, this is exactly how Louis had felt. No wonder he was acting strangely earlier.

I tried my best to tiptoe as quietly as possible behind the couch, past Louis, to the front door. I needed to talk about this to someone.

Liam.

Liam was always in the mood to listen to my problems and he had the best advice. He would know how I should go about this situation.

Three more steps and I would be-the floor creaked underneath my foot. I froze in panic.

Louis turned around. "Hey Hazza, where're you goin? Didn't even hear you come down the stairs."

"I uhm, I just uh, Liam uhm."

Louis smiled, "Don't hurt yourself Harry."

"Sorry I was just uhm I was just going over to Zayn and Liam's."

"Okay have fun, I think Niall and Zayn are still out though. Liam was texting me. Oh and Harry how are you feeling?"

My fever had gone down since I'd slept. I was feeling better. I knew I wouldn't be drinking for a long while, fucking nasty hangover. "Yeah, I'm fine Lou. You don't need to worry about me."

I grabbed my keys and headed out the door, sending Liam a quick text to let him know I was coming. Then I started up the car and backed out of the driveway.

-

"So what happened?" Liam asked.

I bit my lip, deciding on whether or not to tell him. Liam was never one to judge but I felt a sense of self consciousness towards this subject.

"Then he uhm, he got really close to me and," I put a finger on my mouth, "his lips landed here."

"So he kissed you?!" Liam's eyes grew wide.

"Yeah, if that's what you want to call it. But he said the strangest thing. He said that I kissed him first. Before last night. But I know I'd definitely remember kissing Louis."
