Waited For A Girl Like You: A One Direction Love Story

Chapter 2: You Can Have Your Shirt Back

[AN: And we're back! I am proud to announce that we have found Zayn a girl! I hope you enjoy this one! ]

Louis finally found her upstairs in an empty bedroom. He could see her shoulders shaking.

“Please tell me that you’re laughing and not crying,” he said walking into the room and shutting the door behind him.

“Please leave,” Autumn sniffed. “I really don’t need anyone to see me right now.”

“How about a tissue?” Louis asked looking around the room for some Kleenex. “Damn. There’s not any in here. Wait, I have an idea.” He promptly pulled off his shirt and handed it to her. Autumn clutched the shirt in her hand as she looked him over.

“Did you seriously just take off your shirt so I can use it as a tissue?” she asked.

“Uh…yeah,” Louis stammered suddenly nervous.

“You are so weird.” Louis relaxed as she giggled softly. “I’m Autumn.”

“Louis.”

“Here, you can have your shirt back,” she said handing it back to him. “I haven’t been crying that much.” Louis bent forward to study her face as she attempted to swipe away the tears with her hands.

“Sorry Love,” Louis said grasping her chin in his hands and turning her head towards him. “But you look like a raccoon right now. Let me help.” Autumn sat frozen as Louis used the edge of his shirt to wipe her mascara stained cheeks.

“Your shirt is going to be stained with mascara,” Autumn managed to croak out. Louis just smiled and continued to wipe her cheeks. When he was finished he set down the shirt and pulled her into his arms. Autumn felt a rush of lust hit her as he nestled her face against his bare chest. “Wh—what are you doing?”

“I’m comforting you,” Louis said easily. “You looked like you could use a hug.”

“Could you at least put your shirt back on?”

“Can’t. It’s all stained with your mascara.”

“I told you not to—“

“Shh…it’s fine,” Louis said stopping her protests. Autumn finally relaxed as Louis stroked her back gently.

“You know, I heard what you said about me earlier.”

“What did I say?”

“You said I was fucking crazy.” Louis winced. He knew now that wasn’t the truth. He wished he could take his words back now. “I’m not you know.”

“I know that, love.”

“Then why did you say that?"

“I don’t know. I guess I just needed to get to know you better.”

“I think it’s best if we just keep our distance.”

“That’s pretty funny considering the fact that you’re the one with your arms wrapped around my waist,” Louis said tucking her in even tighter. Autumn was shocked to discover that he was telling the truth. She pulled her arms away trying to put some distance between them. “Please don’t let go.” He said it so softly that she almost didn’t hear him. She tucked her arms in, but remained leaning against his bare chest.

“Why did you come up here?”

“I was looking for you. You seemed upset. I wanted to find out why.”

“You really want to know why?”

“Yes,” Louis said simply as he continued to stroke her back.
