Cause I Can Love You More Than This.

Chapter 18

Taylor's POV

I opened my eyes to see Louis was gone again. I sighed and sat up, looking out the window. It snowing so much I couldn't even tell if it was day or night.

I got up shivering and grabbed my hoodie. I threw it on over my pajamas and started searching for Lou again. I looked at the clocked while I checked the living room and it was 10am. Thank The Lord I actually slept for more then an hour.

I heard a faint crying in the kitchen and slowly crept in. Lou was sitting at the table with his head in his hands, weeping.

"Lou?" I said as I walked closer to him. I sat in the chair next to him and he looked at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked him in a tone that was nice and calm.

"M-my m-mum l-lost the b-babies," he stuttered crying.

His mum was due with twin girls in April. The crash must have killed them. Lou was so excited to be a big brother again and now he won't be. The poor thing.

"Lou, I'm so sorry," I said and suddenly hugged him, making him jump before hugging me back.

"Th-thanks Tayt-Tay," he stuttered and cried into my shoulder.

"I know what it's like," I said.

He pulled out of the hug and looked at me confused.

"To be so excited to have another sibling and have it stripped away from you in the blink of an eye," I clarified.

"How?" he asked.

"In the crash, my mother was pregnant. She was supposed to have triplets. Boys. They were born premature. They only lived for two hours after the crash before their hearts gave out," I said, tearing up a little.

"I'm sorry. At least now we both have been through so much misery we can comfort each other, knowing what they are going through," he said.

"Yea but Lou we shouldn't have to. I just want something to go right for once. I want less misery and less things to cry about. I want to be happy. It's hard to be with all these obstacles," I said, standing up and going to the window which I couldn't see through what so ever.

Lou got up and walked over to me and snaked his arms around my waist.

"But we can get past the obstacles. Just keep your priorities straight and don't give up and we will get past everything in our path," he in-forced.

I looked at him and wiped away his tears and leaned in to kiss him. He in no way avoided the kiss. It was long and slow, full of passion. It was a little wet since we were both crying but it was perfect despite that.

When he pulled out, we both looked each other in the eye, thinking he same thing: we wanted more.

He kissed me again and picked me up, swinging my legs around him. I unbuttoned his shirt and he unzipped my jacket. He carried me into the bedroom and I tore his shirt off, making us both laugh.

He laid me down on the bed and pulled my shirt off. I unzipped his jeans and he pulled of my pajamas. Time for some action.

Within an hour, we were laying in bed next to each other, cuddling. Our naked bodies glowing. We both decided that we needed to get dressed cause of the cold. We put pajamas on and the power began to flicker.

Then, the room was pitch black.

"Damn it," I whispered.

I felt Lou's hand grab mine, reassuring that I was still there. We used our phones as flashlights until we had candles lit and lanterns on around the flat.
