I love him.

Aprils's POV:

"Hello?" I was woken up by the irritating ring of my phone. Without bothering to check who it was, I answered.

"Hi darling. How are you?" I smiled at hearing Louis' voice, and hearing him call me 'darling' made me all tingly inside.

"I'm okay. I have a cold but nothing too serious."

"Are you sure you're okay? Do you need me to stop by?" Aw he was so sweet. I love my boyfriend.

"No honey, it's fine. I'll just drink some medicine and I'll be okay. I know you're probably busy." Honestly, I missed him. A lot. And I really wanted to see him. But I didn't want to seem like a clingy girlfriend.

"Okay. Well bye love. I hope you feel better." I quickly hung up before I got the urge to sneeze. Truth is, I felt horrible. Like, really bad, but I didn't want him to worry.

Now, I feel like I should really take a well-deserved nap. After all, that is supposed to help, right?

~~~

Wrong. I woke  up and I felt even worse. My nose was stuffed, my throat was sore, my eyes were watery, and worst of all, my stomach is empty.

As I made my way down to the kitchen I heard the doorknob shake. Ok who is breaking in to my house? I tried not to panic but that failed miserably. I attempted to grab a baseball bat from the closet, but everything else just collapsed on me. Literally. I was sitting there in a pile of useless rubbish when the intruder came in. Turns out, it was just Louis. 

My emotions got the best of me and I ran up to him and hugged him forcefully. My arms wrapped around his neck and my legs around his waist. I just really really missed him. Time seemed to slow down, and I just wish that we could have stayed frozen like that forever. Sadly, he eventually let go of me and put me down. Then, we kissed. Nice and sweet and slow yet long. I pulled away abruptly, remembering the fact that I was very sick, and I didn't want to make him get sick too.

"Hi." Louis whispered quietly. His face was flushed and his hair messy. And he was perfect.

"Hi. I missed you."

"I can tell. How are you feeling?" Louis replied before putting his hand up to my forehead to feel for a fever. "Oh my you're so hot."

"Thanks, I do try." I exclaimed with a wink.

"No April, you know what I mean. Your forehead is burning up. Did you really take medicine?"

"Yes?" It sounded more like a question than a statement, but the thing is I didn't actually take medicine. It's disgusting! Ugh. I'm cringing just at the thought of it.

"Yeah I figured you didn't actually take it. Lucky for you, I brought my first aid kit which has medicine and pills of every kind."

"Oh yeah, lucky for me." I replied sarcastically.

"Hush now. Sit on the couch while I prepare some warm soup. Don't say a word! You'll ruin your beautiful voice and we can't have that can we?" Louis picked me up and carried me to the couch. He wrapped a blanket around me and placed the remote control within my reach. He was so kind. I love him.

"I'm back. How are you feeling honey?"

"I'm all right I guess." I lied. I felt terrible.

"April you and I both know that that's bull. Come on sit up. You gotta eat your soup."

"Ugh. How do I know that this is healthy and you aren't trying to poison me?"

"Because I would never do that. Everyone knows that food poisoning is the most ridiculous way to murder someone. Now open up." Louis joked and then hand-fed me a spoonful of soup. I'll admit, it was good. And in an instant, it was all gone.

"Ok great, now its time for the medicine. Yuuuum."

"No! Never! That tastes horrible and I refuse to drink it." I whined. I was never going to open my mouth. Ugh.

"Come on April. Please?" His beautiful blue eyes caused me to give in. I reluctantly opened my mouth slowly and he shoved the spoonful of medicine in there. Ugh. It was worse than I had imagined.

"You did great honey. Can you give me a kiss?" He asked cheekily. I pressed my medicine-covered lips against his and savored the sweet taste of revenge he pulled back with a sour expression. Now he gets to experience the oh so delicious taste of medicine.

"Ugh. That tastes horrible." I nodded softly agreeing with him, before leaning into him and giving him a proper kiss. He was so wonderful. I love him.

For the remainder of the day, we did what we do best: HARRY POTTER MARATHON!

We ended up falling asleep in the beginning of the third movie. We were both so so tired.

~~~

I don't know what happened to me, but it was when I woke up that I realized something: I love him. I love him. I love him so so much. He's so amazing and I'm in love with him. I love him. 

After that, I began to say it aloud.

"I love you Louis. I love you so so so much. I'm in love with you.

I figured he was still asleep, that is until I felt him shift next to me. I tensed, thinking that he might have heard me. If he did hear me, then I'm dead. He'll tease me about this for days and days to come. Oh dear  god. Then, he sat up and looked straight into my eyes and whispered:

"I love you too." 

We repeated that for ages. I said it and he said it back and vice-versa. We were in love with each other. And it was the best feeling ever.
