The Way Things Work

Chapter Thirty Nine

"Want to head back down?" Louis turned to Harry.

"Sure." They both walked down to the rest of you as the old friends.

"Louis!" You called, happy to see your love.

"Boo!" He matched your high tone as he picked you up off the couch and put you on his lap. He ran his fingers through your hair as you placed your nose against his neck. He rubbed your back as you let out a soft breath into his neck. He dropped a gentle kiss on your forehead and turned back to the others.

"Please, no more PDA." Niall gagged. "Especially after putting up with Zayn this entire time. All he did was ramble on and on about Perrie."

"You've got the hots for Perrie?" Harry mocked.

"Watch it Styles, we aren't there yet, I'm still mad at you."

"Sorry, but seriously?"

"Yeah. She's really sweet and beautiful, plus she has a killer voice."

"You got that right." Louis grinned cheekily. You looked up at his as he broke in to laughter. "I meant about her voice." He winked. 

"Yeah sure." You rolled your eyes jokingly as he kissed your cheek. Did he really feel that way? You had seen Perrie before and she was stunning; where did that leave you? They continued talking but it all seemed to blend together. All you could think about was how you weren't good enough for Louis Tomlinson. As they continued talking, you silently pulled yourself from Louis' arms and walked over to your flat. You felt your heart break in two as you thought of Perrie. You pulled yourself onto the bed and curled up your body as tears fell down your cheeks. 

"I'm going to see where Sam went to." Louis smiled as he left. He was a bit confused as to why you walked out. "Sam?" He called into the flat. You could hear him but instead you just laid still. "There you are!" Louis said softly as he pushed the door open. "Babe what's going on."

"N-Nothing." You whispered as you rolled over and pulled your body up against the head board. 

"Remember? Anything?"

"Yeah, but it's really stupid."

"You obviously don't understand the meaning of anything."

"Fine." You sighed. "It just hurt when you said that about Perrie. I mean she's gorgeous. Look I already know it's stupid." You huffed as you crossed your arms defensively. 

"Why do you think it's stupid?" He unfolded your arms lightly and took grasp of your hands.

"I-I don't know." You quivered as the water droplets accumulated on the brink of your eyes. 

"Come here, will you?" He smiled brokenly as he pulled you into his arms. He pulled your feet over his lap as your bum rested on the opposing side of his legs. He wrapped one arm around your wast, fastening your bodies together, as the other hand rubbed your back. HE rocked your body back and forth as you grieved into his shoulder. "Baby please don't cry." By the sound of his voice you were able to tell he was shedding the same agonizing tears as you. "Sam, I love you and only you. Please, don't feel threatened. You said she was gorgeous? Well in my eyes your ten times that. Please, I'm sorry I said that."

"Don't be." Your words muffled into his shoulder.

"And why not?"

"I o-overreacted. Please don't be mad." You kept your face tucked into his shoulder as you spoke, you were afraid of the emotion you would find in his eyes. 

"Love, you didn't overreact. I shouldn't have said it. That's not something a loyal boyfriend should be saying. I love you and only you."

"Really?" You glanced at the smirk on his face.

"Do you really need to ask that?"

"I guess not. I love you too." He placed a sweet kiss on your cheek as he laid back, causing your body to do the same. You rolled your body adjacent to his own and his lips began to move toward yours. You craved his touch as his hands rolled to your thighs. His lips finally came crashing into yours as your body was sent into a spiral of sparks. He vigorously moved his hand down your thigh and up your waist. You mimed his movements as you brought your and to his cheek. All you wanted was to be devoted to him. His lips rolled down your to your neck where his flickered over your soft spot. You smiled as your hands brushed through his hair and let out a giggle. When your small laugh penetrated his ears a smiled spread across your neck. His lips found yours again as the kiss enhanced to even greater heights. You knew where this was headed and it was the night you would find out whether or not his bed was softer than the hotel's.
