Alex's POV
I had just finished getting ready for mine and Louis' date when the doorbell rang. I was the only one here, so I had to be the one to open the door. On the other side was Lou dressed in skinnies, black vans, and a Rolling Stones shirt, which was probably taken from Harry's pile of clothes.His hair was ruffled and he had a cigarette in his mouth.
"You ready babe?" He asks blowing the smoke from his mouth
"Yeah, just let me get my shoes." I grabbed my Dr. Martens and tucked my skinny jeans in them and laced my boots up. As I stood up I fixed my dip dye tank top. By the time I had gotten my shoes on, Lou had walked in and was leaned against the door way.
"So, where are we going for our date?" I ask as I get into Louis' Ranger Rover
"I thought it would be fun to go to the fair."
"Really? I love the fair!"
**********
Lou and I had been at the fair for 2 hours. We had already rode each ride twice and we were still having a blast.
"Hey, I'm going to get some cotton candy and some drinks okay?" Louis tells me getting up from the bench we were currently sitting on.
As I watched Louis walk away, someone caught my eye. Drew. My ex boyfriend who cheated on me with Lacie.
Drew and I had been together for a year when he cheated on me with Lacie. I had given everything to Drew including my virginity. Drew and Lacie were at the same party, both being extremely drunk. One thing led to another. Though, it was Drew's plan to get to Lacie all along. For years he had chased Lacie and she never gave him the time of day, so he thought hecould date her best friend and when the time was right hook up with Lacie. Months passing, I finally accpeted Lacie apology since we have been best friends since grade 1.
Ever since Drew, I've stayed away from guys. Until I met Louis.
Drew and his group of friends walked to me. I tried to keep my eyes on Louis.
"Well, look who it is." That voice make me sick to my stomach,the voice I knew so well.
Drew pushed my hair behind my ear and rubbed my cheek
"Now, I know you're not here alone. Where is that dick your with?"
I scoff at his remark. "He is not a dick. Unlike you Drew. Now go screw yourself."
"He is gonna use you too you know. That's all your good for, to be used to get something better." I was at the brink of tears at this point. it was the I heard someone clear their throat, I looked up and saw Louis. His eyes were full of anger and hate.
Louis didn't say anything, he just picked Drew up by his shirt and punched him. Drew landed on the ground and he was already bleeding. Drew spit out some blood and in the blood was two white specks. It took a minute to realize that those specks were Drew's two front teeth. Though, this didn't stop Lou. Louis got ontop of Drew and started banging Drew's face into the dirt. He wasn't gonna stop, I had to do something or Louis would be in serious trouble. I grabbed Louis's arm and pulled him up. I grabbed his face to turn him to me, he then knew I was ready to leave. Just like that, we walked away. Leaving Drew lying there, bleeding.
***************
"Alex, I'm so sorry about what happened back there. I just got angry hearing those words come out of his mouth." Louis tells me in the car as we pull up to his house. His parents being out of town, he had the house to himself.
I was speechless, I was somewhat frightened at what had taken place minutes ago, but I didn't wanna run. I merely just got out of the car and walked into the house, grabbing some stuff to clean Louis up, as Drew had gotten a few good hits in. Louis followed me in the house and got the idea of what I was doing so he hopped on the counter so I could clean hiscuts.
"You know, most people would never even come near me or give me the time of day. Why do you?" Louis asks breaking the silence
"I'm not most people, I'm not scared of you" Even though, I was still a little scared of the previous events I wasn'tscared of Louis.
"Why?" Louis asked grabbing my wrist with one hand and grabbing my chin with his other, forcing me to look him in the eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know. I just want to know you, figure you out." I say with out missing a beat.
Before I knew it, I felt myself being drawn closer to Louis. Our lips met and I felt fireworks. I felt comfortable. Something I haven't felt since Drew. I wanted to trust Lou.
