The Way Things Work

Chapter Twenty Eight

You never thought it would, but kissing Louis felt like magic, it felt right. The sparks flew off your lips and radiated to each other. You could tell he felt the same way as a smile grew across his lips, matching your own. Was it possible for you to love Louis Tomlinson? It was so quick, but it was true. It just felt easy and safe. His hands both maneuvered to your waist and stopped. You thrust your waist to meet his as his hands then slid from on your hips to tied around your back. His warm embrace was just perfect as you tried to pull his even closer as your hands fell behind his neck and played with the very ends of his hair. His lips slowly and regretfully pulled away from yours, although his body refuse to do the same. He bowed his head next to your ear so his lips just brushed it, "I think I'm in love with you." As he spoke the elevator door shifted open and you parted ways. You walked out casually as if nothing had happened and walked into his flat merely waving to Zayn and Niall. 

As soon as the door closed you grabbed Louis' hand and locked the door, "I'm in love with you too. Is that wrong?" 

"Not at all." He pecked you on the lips. "So does that mean you'll be my girlfriend?"

"Louis, how?"

"Well at first we can keep it a secret and see where it goes, than we can figure it out from there."

"Deal. That's a yes." You smiled before throwing yourself back n his arms. 

"You are so beautiful babe." Liam pressed his nose against her temple as they went for a walk.

"That's so sweet Liam. You are dashing as ever." 

"Nothing compares to you though." They sat in a small secluded park with a small lake being overlooked. He grabbed her hand and led her under the willow branches, they were finally alone. "You hear that?"

"Hear what?" Sarah questioned.

"Exactly, we're finally alone babe. I love you so much." 

"I love you too, Li." 

They leaned in and began to kiss passionately under the branches. Liam rolled on top of Sarah as a small giggled escaped her lips. She lied on the green grass with Liam's warm body, keeping her safe. She felt like she could stay that way forever, and so could he. 

"Harry, can't we just go back upstairs and do our thing." Angel whined to Harry who was sitting in Zayn's flat.

"I'm not in the mood."

"So what? I can always put you there." She crawled over and, as usual, she threw herself at him.

"Don't you listen? I'm not in the mood!" He got up from the couch and pushed her back off of him. 

"I thought you loved me?"

"L-Loved you? No, Angel you know what this is."

"Really? Tell me."

"This is sex. There are no feelings, besides I love another."

"E-Excuse me?"

"You heard me?"

"Well now you can get 'it' from some where else. I have Tony." She smirked unknowing the truth and stormed out. 

"She gone?" Zayn poked his head out of the kitchen.

"For good?" Niall added on.

"Yeah." Harry groaned. 

"So how are we going to do this?" You looked at Louis as he began to plot.

"So this weekend we have a reservation for a hotel on the outskirts, you say that you just need the weekend to yourself and I'll say that I'm visiting family."

"Okay."

"Are you sure you're ready for this?"Louis knelt down next to you. 

"Y-Yeah."

"So that's a no?" He goggled in a 'manly' manner.

"What?"

"I can tell you're not ready for this step."

"H-How?"

"Well, unlike Harry I'm not a stupid sex addict. I can tell you're not ready."

"B-But shouldn't I be?"

"What? No. What are you talking about?" 

"I mean it's n-not like I'm a virgin anymore." You whispered to him. 

"So what? You weren't ready then and you're not now. The main point is that I love you and I will wait, unlike certain people."

"Really?"

"Really."

"I love you so much Louis."

"Babe, you are everything to me. I love you too."

"So does that mean you don't want to go to the hotel-"

"Of course I want to! We can just enjoy each other's company. I don't care if you're not ready, we'll wait. It really doesn't change anything."

He pulled you close as your head rested on his heart, just listening to the beat.
