Playing the part.

If You'll Have Me

"Why are you smiling at me?" I said, his eyes shown bright at me. Happiness almost radiated from him and I have no idea why. We walked into the house and he is just.... happy. "Louis... You're creeping me out." I said, and he was. He was laying close to the bottom of my bed, head by my hip and was staring at me upside down with a smile on his face.

"I just missed you." He said flipping over onto his stomach and started tracing circles on my arm.

"Why did you look for me anyways? I was hired to pretend to be your girlfriend." I said more nonchalantly than I meant and reached over him to grab my tea off the side table. He gave me a look and then his eyes trained on my mug.

"Is that... 5 seconds of summer In cartoon form... on a mug?" I felt the corners of my mouth twist upwards as I nodded.

"Nice lads, you know um?" I questioned, He nodded again and took the mug from me. "Hey." I said as he sipped at the tea. "Oh you fucker." I snatched my mug back from him and he pouted. "Get your own tea." I said, bringing the cup to my lips.

"Because I love you." I choked on the hot drink that scalded my throat as I coughed. He was so forward, as if the words had been said a million times and I should know them by now. "I loved you when you left and when I found out you weren't her I was almost happy. Of course I was mad but no matter what I couldn't just lose that feeling. And when I realized I had been telling the wrong girl those words... I had to find her, So I did."

My throat was dry and I felt as though I couldn't breathe. He loves me? After everything I did he searched for me. He looked for me so that he could tell me he loved me.

"I think you've gone mad, you know that?" His lip quirks upwards and he let his face fall into the bed.

"I was trying to be serious." He said, the blankets muffling his voice. I smiled to myself and brought my hand up and ran it through his hair, he leaned into the touch almost instantly.

"I know." I mumbled. "You don't know how many times I wanted to tell you I just.... couldn't." I didn't look at him, I was ashamed of myself for being scared. "Then you did your whole "Welcome to the family." thing and I couldn't just let you do that! You were letting a stranger into your house and calling her family for godsakes! Who do-" I was cut off by a very startling pair of lips being pressed to mine. I hadn't even realized he'd moved, but that didn't really matter now. Just as I started to respond he pulled away.

"It's okay love, I understand." He ran a thumb over my bottom lip. "But I need you to understand that watching that car drive away was the worst moment of my life," I let out a breath I hadn't realized i'd been holding. "and I never want that to happen again." His voice was soft and starting to waver. "I know you may not care for me like that anymore but I just wanted to tell you that I do love you Lyric," His eyes held so much emotion I felt my heart clench, his next words only making it worse. "and if you'll have me... I'm yours." I closed my eyes, breathing, or trying to, so that the tears that threatened to spill would subside. Yeah like that's gonna happen.

"You're so fucking cheesy." I mumbled, laughing as I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him into a kiss again.

He responded quickly, wrapping an arm around my waist to pull me closer. He quickly took control but kept the kiss slow and sweet. It felt special because it said everything I couldn't. I couldn't put in word how much I missed him. That feeling... like a huge part of yourself is missing, leaving you empty. The swelling pain in my chest whenever I would hear his name, or his voice, hell even seeing his face on a magazine. I can't explain that, I don't know how. But I can do this, because he's here now.

I pulled away, leaning my forehead against his as I let air fill my lungs again. Opening my eyes I noticed how his were trained on me, a small smile creeping up his lips.

"I'm taking that as a yes because If you're just being a tease I'll be pissed." He smiled, I rolled my eyes and pecked his lips again. Pulling away fully I leaned my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes as his arms moved to hold me to his chest.

"God I missed you."
