Lost in your grip

Chapter 38 | Double date

Clementine's POV
I woke up in Louis' arms. I had a nightmare about my mom. Louis was awake already. "Hey sleepy head." He said. I groaned and turned over. "Oh no you ain't going back to sleep." He said. "Louis, I'm really tired okay, I haven't been getting much sleep lately." I said. He kissed my cheek. "Come on baby, we got stuff to do. There's so much to do in Los Angeles." He said. "Will you leave me alone if I get up?" I asked. "Yes ma'am." He said. "Ugh." I groaned. I got up and changed my clothes. "So for our last day in the City of Angels, I talked to Marlon and Brody, we are going on a double date." He said. "Double date? Seriously?" I asked. He gave a cheeky smile. "Where?" I asked. "Hmm I don't know, never thought that far." I gave him my 'death glare' and he rubbed the back of his neck. He smiled. "What?" I asked. He got up and walked over. He got behind me and kissed my neck then my cheek. He placed his hands around my waist. "Louis please stop, you're gonna start something you can't finish." I said. He looked at me as we stood in front of the wall mirror. I placed my hands on his. I turned my head and kissed him. I grabbed my phone and took a picture of us in the mirror. He couldn't stop kissing my cheek. I saved the picture and posted it on my Snapchat. "So Clem, remember when I picked you up for our ski lodge trip." He said as he continued to hold me. "Yeah, what about it?" I asked. "Well I owe you some IHOP." He said. I smiled. "Fuck yeah you do." I said. "We can go there then." He said. I turned around to face him. I placed my arm around his neck and he moved his hands down to my ass. "I fucking love you." I said. "I love you too baby." He said as he leaned in and kissed me. We walked out of the room and into the living room where Brody, Vi and Marlon were waiting. "Y'all ready to go?" I asked. Brody and Marlon stood up. My dad walked over. He hugged me. "Be safe, LA isn't the safest place." He said. I smiled and hugged him back. "I will dad." I said. He smiled and we left Vi with my dad. "You sure you wanna stay?" I asked Vi. "Yeah, it's too hot and you're dad is pretty cool." She said. "Besides I know LA girls are hot, I'm doing this for Minnie's sake and mine." She added. We laughed and left. We all got in my car.

We got to IHOP and got a table. We ordered our food. "So what are your plans for the future?" I asked Brody. "Well we want to get married before we even think about having kids. Kids are just a hassle." She said. I giggled. "What about you two? What are your plans?" She asked. I looked at Louis. He smiled and I smiled back. "Well we are planning for two kids, I'd prefer a son and a daughter but whatever happens, happens. Of course I'd love to marry Louis someday but I think we are a little young right now." I said as our food got to our table. "You two would make beautiful babies." Brody said with a smile. Louis and I looked at each other with a smile. "You guys two." I said. "Maybe one of em will have your shitty haircut Marlon." Louis laughs. Brody and I started laughing. "I think it's cool." Marlon said. "So what age do you plan to have kids?" Brody asked. "I don't know maybe like 23 or something. My mom had me when she was 20 but I was an accident." I said. "Not in my eyes, you are a blessing." Louis said as he smiled down at me. I rolled my eyes. "Well I plan to get a 2 story house with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms." Brody said. I rolled my eyes. "Why so many rooms?" I asked. I regret asking that. "So we have more rooms to fuck in." Marlon said with a smile. Brody punched his shoulder. Louis and I choked on our water. "Marlon!" She whispered. "Oops." He giggled. "So uh...what about you Clem? What kind of house do you want?" Brody asked. "Well a 2 story for sure, uh...maybe 4 rooms because if we have two kids we need a room for each and and extra room for Lou to play his piano, then the master bedroom for us, then 2 bathrooms and a big backyard for Rosie." I said. Brody smiled in awe. "Don't forget Clem, we need a tree house." Louis said. "Oh and a pool." I added. He smiled. "Fuck yeah." I smiled. "Where would you want to live?" I asked Brody. "Oooo the beach." She said. I giggled. Brody loves the beach. "Open ocean and lovely weather. Oh and the sounds of the ocean, I'll be able to fall asleep." She said. "A beach house huh?" Marlon said. "I could live there." He said. "As long as we got a good view." He added. "Oh definitely, it's not a beach house without a fantastic view." Brody added. She looked back at me. "What about you?" She asked. "Well I'm not gonna lie, when I was little I always wanted to live in San Francisco or Cleveland or even New York...but now a days, it's hard to decide. All I know is wherever he goes, I go. Home isn't home without him." I said. "Awwwww that's so fucking cute." Brody said. "As long as it's not LA." Louis said. "LA isn't that safe for kids, in my opinion." He said. "I know, I've been here for 2 weeks and I'm not feeling it, although Santa Monica is cool." I said. "I got some places in mind that we can check out if you want." He said. "Maybe." I said. "Man, I really want a dog." Marlon sighed. "What kind of dog?" I asked. He looked up at me. "Pit Bull." He said. "They are amazing dogs so I wouldn't blame you." I said with a smile. "Yeah, where did you get Rosie, Lou?" Marlon asked. "Animal rescue in Atlanta." He said. Marlon nodded. We finished our food and paid. We got in the car. "So now what?" I asked. "We should head to Santa Monica." Louis said. We all smiled. I pulled my vape out. "Wanna hit?" I asked Brody. "Hell yeah I could use one right now." She said. I took a hit then passed it to her. Marlon took a hit after her. I wiped the part you put your mouth on. I took another hit. I gave it to Louis and he took a hit. "Alright guys, we gotta buy bathing suits." He said. "Alright then what are we waiting for?" I asked. He smiled at me.

(This chapter was just so heartwarming. After all they've gone through, they want a future with each other. They are enjoying themselves in LA for their last day. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. ~Cameron)
