Stronger Feelings

Chapter 3

I wake up with the sun shining through my windows, realizing how lucky I am to have such a great friend. I always have been greatful to have Louis as a friend but it really hit me last night. The possibilities of tonight are being thought throughout my mind. So much that they can't leave. My feelings for Louis are definitely beginning to grow, the more I think about him.

I continue on my day by doing some yoga followed by a cup of coffee and some breakfast. Just as I'm about to get in the shower, I receive a text from Louis. "Where to for tonight?" I smile and reply, "It doesn't matter. Why don't you come over in a bit?" I really want to see him now. Thankfully, he agreed and should be here around eleven, which gives me about forty minutes to get ready.

I promptly take a shower, put on a little makeup, get dressed and throw my hair up in a messy bun. The door knocks and I run to the front of my house, like a little girl. When Louis sees me, he immediately runs up to me and hugs me. "I missed you so much," he says. All of a sudden, I'm starting to feel this awkard feeling inside of me.

"I missed you too, Louis." I notice he starts to lean in and kisses me passionately on the lips. He holds my hands and asks, "What do you want to do for tonight, love?" I think for a brief moment. "How about we catch a movie?" I suggest. "That sounds great!" I look at the showings on my phone and notice there's one around 6:30 for tonight. I look at the clock and notice we have about seven whole hours before the movie starts. "Lou, you know we have about seven hours before it starts?" I ask. "Well what do you want to do to kill the time? You get to choose!"

Of course I get to choose. He always lets me choose wherever we go. "Bowling, of course. I haven't been in forever." Without saying anything, he grabs my hand and leads the way out. "Bowling it is, love." We get in the car, and Louis drives us to the bowling alley. On the way there, the thought that I could possibly be official with Louis just won't leave my mind. I can't stop thinking about it. I guess the only way to find out if we are official is if I ask Louis.

"Hey Lou, can I ask you something?"

"What do you need to know?"

"Would you consider us a couple?"

Louis thinks for a moment and says, "Well, I don't know. I mean, I really like you. Like, I really like you. But if you don't like me then we can continute to stay friends, because I won't let my favorite girl leave my fragile soul."

Ok now that was deep. I didn't expect those words to come out of his mouth. I want to say that I really like him, because I do, but this feeling is stuck in my body. A feeling that makes me feel like we would be better off as friends.
