Chapter 1

"I love this," Louis beamed as he intertwined his fingers through mine as we laid on the damp grass. The sun was beginning to set, leaving a baby pink glow on his tan, fragile skin. His blue eyes were focused on the nest of baby Blue Jays in the tree above us. Dark clouds were collecting in the sky, covering the bright glare of the sun, making it look even later than it is. The sun was only half visible now, just barely overlooking the horizon. It smelled of rain, silently telling me that we should get going soon. But even if it began pouring out of nowhere right now, I wouldn't find myself caring, because nothing could ruin this moment with the love my life. Everything is okay with Louis by my side.

"Love what?" I asked, waiting in anticipation to hear his feathery voice again. I turned my head to look at him, my hair getting ruined slightly by the grass beneath me. No matter how much he talks, it will never be enough. His voice is better than my favorite song.

"This, us, being alone," his thumb ran over the outside of my hand, a bright smile on his beautiful face.

"We don't get these moments often, do we, Lou?"

He shook his head, clearing his throat. "But I wish we did."

People are finding out about Louis and me. We see more and more about it each day. We both could care less, but management seems to think differently. They think us being publicly together could jeopardize our marketing sales. It's all about money, and nothing infuriates me more than people who try to tell me who to love. Louis and I have no choice but to be apart while on tour or anywhere where people could see us. It's either that, or we lose our jobs. But right now, it's just me and him, and I don't care who sees. It's so incredibly hard to be around him for so long and not be able to touch his silky skin, and not to be able to kiss his plump, pink lips is even harder. I missed him with all my being. But I don't see why management has to keep us apart just for being a gay couple. What's the big deal? It's not like we're the only ones in the world.

The wind began to pick up around us, blowing fallen leaves onto our bodies. A leaf landed on my forehead and got tangled into my curly hair. Before I could react, Louis had already gotten it out. He laughed playfully and placed a small kiss on my lips before running his small hands through my hair.

"Your hair is so soft, Harry," he cooed.

I lovingly sighed and placed my head on his warm chest. I listened to his heart beat, and I tapped my index finger on his leg to the steady rhythm.

This is almost like a dream, I haven't had this much alone time with Louis in so long. I've been waiting for what seemed like forever for this day. The day where tour is finally over, and we finally get to move into our home together, with the rest of the boys living close by, of course. Niall's living with Paige, Zayn with Maggie, and Liam with Nicole. It's not fair how the other boys get to go out in public with their girlfriends and hold hands, kiss, and do everything Louis and I want to do. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

We continued to lay there until the sun went down completely, leaving us in the dark, other than some dimly lit street lights nearby. I listened to cars drive by on the nearby street, horns blazing in the distance.
