"Thanks for driving me home" I say when we arrive.
"Yea, no problem. I was... Uhm I was wondering if you..."
He doesn't finish his sentence. Why doesn't he finish his sentence? And why does this makes me feel so nervous?
"If I what?" I ask. My voice is higher than usually. I probably sound like one of the chipmunks or something. Well, if I do, he doesn't notice or rather tries not to pay attention to it.
"If you... No. No, nevermind."
"Oh. Okay. Uhm... I think I need to go now. Thanks for driving" I tell him.
"Yeah, sure, no problem!" He answers softly while looking down. Is he trying to make fun of me by making me think he's shy because of me?? Well, even if he is, it is still adorable, it gives me a strange feeling in my stomach, like I'm falling in an endless deep well.
Why do I even think it's still strange? I have this feeling every single time I see him. You should think it would feel at least a little familair by now..
I walk up to the front door while looking in my bag for the keys. I see my phone, my wallet and a few store receipts, but my keys are nowhere to be found...
"I think I left my keys at Nialls' house" I mutter.
"Sorry, what did you say?" Louis asks. He's still here! Why?
"I think I left my keys at Nialls' house. I'll call him to ask if he can bring them" I say again, this time out loud. I grab my phone and diall Nialls' number.
Hello, this is Niall Horan's voicemail. I won't be reachable for today and tomorrow, but you can leave a message after the tone. Bye!
"Great, voicemail... How on earth do I get into my house now?" I say, mad at myself for leaving my keys at Niall's. "Is there someone else who has the keys?" Louis asks. "Well, my mum has one, but since she lives in Washington and we live in London, I don't thinks that's an option, unfortunately" I answer dejected. God, I miss her. Why did she had to marry Johnny and move to the US? My face turns from dejected to horror at the tought of that name.
"Are you okay?" Louis asks concerned. "Yea. I'm fine, sorry" "You can... Stay the night at my place, if you want? Just so you have shelter till you get your keys back."
I can just feel my heart skipping a beat and my mouth drops. Louis must have seen it, cause he adds quickly: "Only if you want to!"
Ofcourse I want to! This is what I've been dreaming of since the very first time I met you! Ofcourse I want to stay the night at your place! I want to stay there forever, and cuddle till we both fall asleep, so we can wake up in each others arms, seeing each others sleepy faces, hearing each others raspy morning voices and...
"Thanks, that's really nice of you. I would love to" I tell him with a shy smile. My feet suddenly seem very interresting.
Well, atleast my voice didn't crack that much this time... Oh who am I kidding, it sounded horrible!
When I look up again, I see Louis' face shining like he just won the lotery. Wait what? No. No, that's probably just my imagination.
"Let's go than!" Louis says.
"Yes, let's go" I nod, trying to hide my smile
