Beat Still

Chapter 49: Beat Still

Hiya guys! I'm posting the first chapter to my other story: The Love Club, and I would love for you to read it! It's pretty good, I promise.

*Marcel's Pov*

Niall was currently on a flight to Ireland, Liam and Leeroy went to their grandparents house, and Zayn is celebrating with his sisters. So that just leaves me all on my lonesome.

You might ask, 'Hey Marcel, where is your mum and your sister, or your brother, or even your boyfriend?'

Well, as usual on this most joyous of days, the Tomlinson and the Styles family were together. My mother and Johanna were probably crying over some sappy tv movie while sipping coffee, the girls were all in the basement doing whatever girls do, and Louis and Harry were joined at the hip.

And so here I am, alone, slaving over a hot stove by myself. Harold and Louis have been completely ignoring me like they always do on Christmas day, joking around and playing video games or whatever it is that they do. But I don't mind...

Okay I totally do mind. But usually I don't. I do my own thing until everyone comes together in the living room and exchanges gifts, and then we eat a big dinner and watch movies until it's too late to keep our eyes open.

Luckily for him I was busy anyway.

I always took it upon myself to make the holiday drinks and desserts for everyone. The smell of vanilla and chocolate always made me so happy as the cheery music and sounds of laughter filled the house.

I blushed as santa baby came on the mini radio that sat on the kitchen counter and quickly changed the station.

"Are you 12 years of age or older?"

Yes.

"Are you talented?!"

I'd like to think so...

"Are you a solo artist or in a band?"

I know five boys who are!

"Then you may have the x-Factor! Come audition on March 31st, in London at the Emirates Football Ground. Show us what you've got!"

This would be a great opportunity for One Direction!

As I took my phone from my back pocket to visit the x-factor website, I noticed that the radio was turned off.

What in the sam heck? Two strong arms were suddenly around my waist and kisses were being placed wherever they could reach.

"Louis stop it, I'm busy." I was in no mood to be lovey dovey now just because he felt like it. Where was he this entire morning? Not with me that is for sure...

"Marcy..." He whined, stretching out the y a bit more than usual.

"I said I'm busy." I attempted to get out of his hold to no avail, so I decided to simply continue my research with his arms still around me.

In what seemed like .2 seconds he had my phone in his hands and was reading the screen.

"X-Factor, eh?" He smirked up at me and continued scrolling.

"Give it back, Louis." I stomped my foot, but he only grinned harder.

"Are you going to audition, Marcy? What song are you going to sing?" I rolled my eyes at his lame joke. We both knew darn well that I cannot sing.

"Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight!" Lou mocked me, doing some kind of spastic dance move. He burst into a fit of giggles when I pushed his shoulders. He stumbled back a bit into the fridge, but continued laughing.

"It's not funny." I pouted. How dare he make fun of me, and I was looking it up for him? How rude.

"I'll do it with you, Marcy!" He cleared his throat dramatically,"I really can't stay..."

I stared at him blankly and he gestured for me to do my line.

I huffed out a breath and mumbled,"But baby it's cold outside."

He smiled widely as if victorious,"I've got to go away..."

"Butbabyit'scoldoutside." I rushed through the line again.

"This evening has been..." He smushed my cheeks together causing me to unwillingly smile.

"I thrill when you touch my hand!" This time I sung with vigor, only to please my boyfriend.

"So very nice..." Lou whispered while pulling my hands toward him.

I bent down slightly so that we were face to face. He put his arms around my neck and jumped so that his entire body was wrapped around mine. I carried him over to the counter an sat him in front of me slowly.

"I can't decide how you look sexiest. Like this-" He waved his hands around me as a gesture to my current state,"all undone and busy in your sweatpants and white t-shirt, hair a long, curly mop..." I blushed and leant away, but he pulled me right back to him,"Or when you're all done up, in hair gel and sweater vests."

"Lou stop..." I tried to hide my face in my hands, but he pulled them away.

"No I won't stop, this is a very important dilemma that we must solve! Which Marcel is sexiest?"

"Oh my God." I tucked my face under his neck and stared at his gray t-shirt that I'm almost certain was once Harry's. He began tangling his fingers in my hair gently, something I knew he loved to do.

"Marcel."

I hummed my response into his chest.

"Look at me please."

My eyes met his before he could even finish the request.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you. I'm just so used to spending the day with Harry, you know? And I haven't been spending that much time with him lately, so we needed a bit of bro time."

I nodded,"I understand."

He held my chin between his fingers,"I love you...so fucking much."

I gasped,"Lou, language!" He chuckled and pulled me into him for a tender hug.

"I love you too you know?" I felt him nod against my shoulder,"I know it took me a bit longer than you, but I finally caught up. I love you too, Lou."

He pulled away to leave a trail of kisses all over my face. I giggled and swatted his face away.

"Give me your hand." I complied and put my larger hand in his without hesitation. He pulled a black sharpie from his pocket,"I love you always," I struggled to sit still as he drew on my wrist,"and forever." He drew something on his own, too.

Then he turned his hand over to show me his art work.

I looked between them and smiled.

On my arm was an infinity symbol with the word always written inside and on his was the matching symbol but with forever rather than always.

"Maybe forever will be our always." I whispered.

~~

So sorry for the TFIOS reference but you guys know how much Marcel and I love that book.

Also I'm crying because I so want to say that to Harry one day omg could you imagine?

H: I love you Kelsey, forever.

Me: Harry...Maybe forever will be our always.

Okay I'm done. Thanks to everyone who has stuck around! And a special thank you to @Rina_Stylinson ! I appreciate your votes and support.
