Secrets

Chapter 22

I got to his house and I didn't see his car here. I guess he's still on his way. I hope he doesn't take too long. We need to get everything figured out. I walked over, sitting down on the stairs outside. Within a couple minutes I saw his black car pull into the driveway. I guess when Niall texted me that he just left that he really just literally left. He got out of his car and he looked relieved. I guess that he was really worried. I'm still upset but I'm a little happy to see him. He gave me a small smile before he picking up a bag out of his car. I realized it was the bag that had our food in it from earlier. He walked over to me, smiling a little bit, "Do you want to go inside?"

"Yeah."

I can't believe I actually came here for us to talk. I mean I'm still upset. Maybe I'll feel better when we're done talking. I just want us to work out. I got up aa he took my backpack for me. We walked inside. He looked like he was kind of scared to do anything. He set my bag down before he started walking towards his kitchen. I followed him as he set the food down on the counter before sitting down at the table. I walked over, sitting next to him. He was looking at me as I looked down, messing with my hands like I normally do. I felt him move a little closer to me, "Why did you leave so fast?"

"I got upset. It hurt walking in there and seeing the two of you. Especially when she moved closer to you."

I couldn't help it but my eyes started to water and I felt a tear escape even though I didn't want it to. I don't want to cry about this. I just can't help it. It hurt seeing that. I felt him grab one of my hands, intertwining our fingers, "I'm so sorry that hurt you. I never meant to hurt you. We never did anything. I couldn't do anything like that to you. She walked in there right before you did. After you left she agreed to stop trying to come on to me when I showed her that picture of us."

I know there's still tears running down my face, but I can't believe this. I looked up at him, "Really?"

He nodded, "She needed to stop. I have the most beautiful girl in the world and I don't want to ruin that."

I honestly don't know what to say. I guess I should have known that nothing was going to happen between them. He's so sweet to me. I was just so upset seeing them together. He looked a little upset seeing the tears running down my face. He reached his other hand up, using his thumb to whip the tears off, "I'm so sorry that I hurt you, love. I didn't mean to. I love you too much to do that."

I looked at him in shock. I can't believe he just said that. I know I'm getting more feelings for him. Maybe it is love. I wasn't expecting him to say that. He chuckled, "What?"

"You love me?"

"Yes, Allison, I'm in love with you. I was waiting to tell you but it slipped out."

I smiled, "I'm in love with you."

He didn't say anything. He cupped my face in my hands, kissing me. His lips were soft and gentle against mine. I could taste the salt from my tears but I don't care. He didn't seem to care either. I put one of my hands on top of his, grabbing his shirt with my other before pulling him closer. He ran his tongue over my bottom lip and I let him have entrance like I normally do. I know I was upset with him earlier but it doesn't seem to matter right now. When he told me he loved me it's like I forgot about it. After a couple more minutes he pulled away but kept his head touching mine, "I love you, Allison."

"I love you, Louis."

He smiled, pecking my lips. He pulled away, "Let's go upstairs."

He got up and I was about to when he picked me up bridal style. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck. He carried me upstairs to his room, closing the door behind us. He walked us over to his bed before laying me down. He smiled before laying down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me before pulling me closer to him. He kissed the top of my head, "I have something to ask you?"
