A/n- My gosh. Won't you ever be happy? Geez. But any who!! This chapter was requested by my bestie! Alex!! LoveRockyLynch
Thank her for this chapter. Lol, this should lighten the mood.

-Alexa's POV-
I plopped down next to Louis on the couch, holding a container of ice cream, pulling a blanket over my lap. Louis shook his head, putting his arm around my shoulders and reaching around to grab the spoon from my hand.
​​​​​​ "Isn't it a bit too cold outside for ice cream?" Louis asked, blowing hot air on the spoon and pressing it to his nose so that it stuck there as he crossed his eyes. Thankfully, I had my phone out and snapped a picture before he could protest.
"First of all, it is never to cold outside for ice cream. Second, give me my spoon back before you get your Louis germs all over it.." I said, locking my phone and trying to grab the spoon from his hand. He stuck it in his mouth and I sighed, pulling it out of his mouth and cracking open the ice cream and eating it with the spoon. Hey. Don't judge. Not like I haven't tasted it all before.
"That is gross." Louis stated. I shrugged, eating my ice cream shifting it to the right so he couldn't get at it.
"Nah. Not like I haven't tasted it all before....." I trailed. His eyes widened and his cheeks flushed to a deep red. This was new. I barely see Louis blush. He's the king of embarrassing me. He stayed silent, looking outside at the falling snow. I giggled suddenly, realizing I had left him speechless. He looked to me, arching his eyebrow and biting back a smile.
"What?" He asked defensively, nudging my foot with his. I looked up at him, smiling.
"I left Louis Tomlinson speechless. I'll add that to my biggest accomplishments list...." I said thoughtfully. Louis chuckled and shook his head.
"You didn't leave me speechless....just...caught me off guard...." he said playfully, pulling at a stray strand of hair that was loose out of my bun. I swatted his hand away as he attempted to pull my bun out.
"Louis! Stop!" I whined, putting my hands over my head. He took this opportunity to grab my ice cream and spoon out of my hands and took a huge bite, making me drop my hands from my hair.
"Louis!!" I scolded. He started to laugh through the ice cream in his mouth and I winced, my eyes widening. "Don't you dare spit that out!" I yelled. This, of course, only made him laugh harder. He put his finger up as he looked like he was going to spill the contents from his mouth. He swallowed, before bursting out laughing, his face scrunched up and his eyes watering. I sighed and bit my lip to keep from laughing. I grabbed the ice cream away from him quickly, protecting my territory.
"You......your face.....!!!" Louis laughed. I rolled my eyes and ate more of my ice cream.
"You're so crazy." I mumbled. He stopped laughing, trying to take my ice cream again. I narrowed my eyes and hissed at him through my teeth. He widened his eyes then, scooting a bit backwards.
"Woah girl. Woah." He said as if he was talking to a horse. I rolled my eyes and swatted his arm.
"Is it your life goal to annoy the crap out of me?" I huffed as he moved his feet oddly, poking me with his toes. I reached under the blanket and tickled his feet. He immediately jumped back and tucked them underneath his legs as he pouted.
"No.....it's just a hobby." He stated, still pouting. I sighed and reached over to touch his face, trying to straighten his pout into a smile, but he held firm, not letting me. I pouted then.
"Boo bear...please smile?" I asked. He rolled his eyes sassily, and gave me the fakest, biggest smile ever. I burst out laughing and he finally smiled normally.
"I love your laugh." He blurted out suddenly. I stopped laughing then, gulping down my uneasiness.
"Huh?" I got out. He smiled and leaned forward.
"I love your smile too. I love you." He whispered, pressing his lips to mine gently. Our movements were hesitant. And...I couldn't help but think about why we were so awkward with each other. Zayn. That's why. It was my fault though. I didn't have to kiss him back, but yet...I did. I don't think I love him. I know I love Louis. But......I'm just so confused as to my feelings as of late. I shook all memories of Zayn from my head and got lost in Louis's lips. He felt so good. It felt so good to kiss him like this.
I gently ran my hands through his spiky hair and pulled at it. He kissed me gently and didn't push, deciding to take things slow. Which...I was perfectly fine with. I slowly pulled back, looking into his blue eyes, trying to find something.
"Louis.......?" I whispered, my breath catching, as he was so close.
"Mmhmmm?" He hummed, leaning his forehead against mine.
"What are we....?" I whispered, nudging his head with mine. He smiled, looking down.
"Well...." he started, looking up to meet my eyes. Before he could finish, the door to our flat slowly opened. We sprang apart, looking towards the door.
Zayn walked in slowly, his eyes red underneath and his head tilted towards the floor. He looked like he had been crying a lot and his hands were shaking, as if he was nervous about something. Louis cursed underneath his breath at Zayn for ruining our moment, and I slapped him upside the head.
"Ow!" Louis cried.
"Shut up." I hissed at him, giving him the look.
"Alexa......c..can I talk t..to you....?" Zayn mumbled, his voice barely audible. I slowly nodded, looking at Louis. Louis grunted, scowling at Zayn. I nudged him in the ribs gently, trying to get him to behave. He glanced at me, turning my chin with his fingers and kissing me hard on the mouth, right in front of Zayn. I growled into the kiss and pulled out of it, scowling at him.
"That was rude." I spat at him. He rolled his eyes moodily and got up.
​​​​​​ "Go ahead and talk then." Louis said sarcastically, walking to the door and walking out, slamming it as he did so. I rolled my eyes, incredibly annoyed with him for being so rude and such a jerk.
I looked up to Zayn, who began to cry into his hands. I sighed and got up, pulling him into a tight hug as his body shook.
"Zayn.....what's wrong?" I whispered as I pulled back, grabbing some tissues off the coffee table and handing them to him. He wiped his face and looked at me apologetically.
"Sorry....umm.....I was just thinking....you know..about us...and...about what happened....and I'm sorry." He sighed, wiping his face free from tears.
"Zayn....you don't have to...." I started, but he put his hand up, shaking his head gently.
"Just...listen please." He whispered. I slowly nodded and squeezed his hand gently, before releasing it. He looked down, swallowing as he looked back up at me. "Alexa....listen.....I don't love you and.....I... I know you love Louis." He whispered, his voice breathy and tired, as if he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep.
"Zayn...." I said. He shook his head, silently telling me not to interrupt him. I sighed, staying silent.
"I....don't know why I...I kissed you.....and...I don't know why....I liked...it....I guess.....I just thought you were Audrey....because of your eyes or something....I'm sorry....that this happened...." he whimpered, his brown eyes pleading and guilty. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"Zayn...this was mostly my fault. I didn't have to kiss you back. I don't know why I did. But....strangely......I liked it. I'm sorry for Louis's attitude today and I'm sorry for kissing you. Can we maybe....be friends again?" I questioned. He sighed, running a hand through his messy hair.
"What about Louis?" He asked quietly. I rolled my eyes suddenly, surprising myself at how mad I was at Louis at this moment.
"In all honesty, Louis was being an asshole today. I'll have a talk with him and straighten it all out. Don't worry. Sooo....friends?" I asked. He nodded slowly. I hugged him tightly and after a moment, he hugged back, not letting go for a long time.
"I just....I want it to stop." Zayn whispered. I turned my head and laid it on his shoulder.
"What do you want to stop?" I whispered in his ear.
"I want the pain to stop." He said deeply. I nodded and slowly pulled back, kissing his cheek gently.
"I know....." I whispered quietly, offering him a sad smile. I heard the door open quickly and saw Louis walk in, his face still in a scowl. My anger flared and I sighed, gently turning Zayn towards the door.
"You should go....." I whispered. He nodded and headed towards the door. "Hey mate." He said as he passed Louis. Louis grunted, glaring at Zayn. Zayn glanced at me, rubbing the back of his neck as he walked out the door, but not before mumbling, "Or not....."
As soon as the door closed, I let Louis have it. "What the hell is your problem?" I asked as he walked over to the couch and plopped down, looking as if he didn't care.
"What's my problem?" He reiterated. For some reason, this made me that much madder, pushing me over the edge.
​​​​​​ "Yeah. Cause I'd like to know why you're being so mean to your best friend, who is obviously very much in pain right now." I stated. He looked guilty for a moment, but it vanished quickly, disappearing into thin air as if it never existed.
"You're just mad because he's your fuck buddy." He mumbled. My eyes widened and he stood up, his anger flaring as well. I slapped him hard across the cheek, tears stinging my eyes.
​​​​​​ "That's not even fair Louis!! I told you I was sorry, he told you he was sorry. I won't ever do it again. I told you I love you and me and Zayn worked it out, so that it wouldn't be awkward any more!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands up. "I don't know what you want from me anymore...." my voice came out in a small squeak, not sounding at all like me. I felt a tear fall down my face and Louis's eyes softened, his Adams Apple bobbing as he swallowed his fear down.
"I.......I.......I'm just upset okay!!" He yelled suddenly, defending himself. I sighed, looking down at my hands.
"Yeah. You have every reason to be upset. I mean, I know it was wrong for me to kiss Zayn, but......we won't ever get back together if you keep throwing this in my face........" I choked out, my tears coming slowly and painfully.
"I......I..." he mumbled, looking down guilty. I looked up at him as he stepped closer to me. He gently grabbed my hands in his and held them in front of us as he leaned in to kiss my cheek. I let him, even though I was still mad at him.
"Can we please just put this behind us?" I whispered. He nodded slowly, wiping the tears from my eyes. He pecked my lips quickly and pulled me in for a tight hug, his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. We fit perfectly together. And I felt all of my anger towards him fade away.
"Yeah.....I'm sorry....for.....being a dickhead...." he whispered. I nodded against his chest.
"Yeah.....it's fine. But....I think you owe Zayn more of an apology than me...." I whispered. He nodded slowly.
"I will. I promise." He said. I nodded as we continued to hug in silence. He was warm and his hugs were much better than Zayn's. Just saying.
"Louis....what are we..?" I asked for the second time tonight. He sighed and leaned down to kiss me passionately.
"Together." He whispered when he pulled away. My heart flipped in my chest as I smiled.
"I love you Lou." I whispered. He smiled, pushing back my thick, red hair.
"I love you Alexa...." he answered back.

A/n- Yeah gonna pass out. You're welcome Alex. This was a little mix of everything I think. It was a bit more lighter and happier at the beginning, anger in the middle and love at the end. But I'm glad I worked it out finally. Gosh. Took me long enough. Any suggestions on who's POV you'd like to see in the next chapter? I would appreciate it if you told me what you'd like to see. I'll be back. More to come......... goodnight. You're all beautiful and I love you.
