Sorry for the long wait x

Emma's pov

I get back to our beach house and walk straight to the bathroom. I really feel like taking a shower right now. I don't know what just happened, but it got me all shaken' up.  My slightly trembling hand reaches for the door knob of the bathroom, when I find it being locked. I sigh and frown. I thought everyone was at the beach.

"H- Hello?" I knock softly on the door. 

"Just a sec!" a male voice replies. It sounds a lot like Louis, so it must be him inside the bathroom then. 

"Okay," I slowly answer. I let myself slide down against the wall and sit on the ground. I look up when I hear the lock turn open and just a second later the door opens and reveals Louis.

"Hi Em," he says, and he smiles. I haven't seen him since the small bonfire we had last night, and after what Harry said to me last night I thought he had a reason to be mad at me or something, but right now he seems just fine.

I get up and look at Louis. "Hey." 

"Did you have fun at the beach? The weather was so lovely, so we figured we just had to go," he asks me. He wipes a strand of hair which had moved for his eye back and lookes at me with a happy smile.

I nod. "Eh, yeah... I did." I still am at a loss for words. I really didn't know a kiss could have that much impact on me. "Eh, did you?" I ask Louis.

"Hell yeah I did! The water was lovely, and so was the rest of the beach. I think I'll go back later today. Wanna join me then?" he asks.

"Maybe, I'll see... I first wanna take a shower," I tell him.

"Okay then," he nods a few times. I notice how he frowns a bit as he studies me. "Are you allright, Emma? You seem a bit off."

Immediately I feel a blush starts to form on my cheecks. "Yeah, I'm allright... I'm just fine."

"Okay! I'll leave you alone now, take your shower," he winks at me and then he walks to his room.

I shake my head shortly to clear my mind a bit and then I get in the bathroom. Time for that well deserved, long shower.

An hour later I sit in my room, on my bed. I'm leaning with my back against the headboard, my knees bent, while I'm painting my fingernails. I decided a dark red colour would look good on them. 

I hear three short knocks on my door and I look up. "Come in!"

The door opens and Louis comes in. "Hey. Oh, are you busy...?" he asks after he looked at me.

"Meh, just painting my nails, not really busy so...," I answer.

"Oh, okay good!" he says as he walks towards my bed, on which I'm sitting. "The rest of the boys are still at the beach and I was kinda bored so, here I am!"

"Ah, okay. You can sit down if you want...?" I invite him. I finish the last nail as he sits down next to me and then I close the bottle of nailpolish. 

"I like the colour. I never really notice if someone is wearing nailpolish, but it does looks nice," Louis says after a while.

I smile. "Thank you."

"But, hey, your toenails are still their plain colour," he remarks and I chuckle softly.

"Yeah, they do. I find it harder to polish them than it is to do my fingernails."
