Desirable

~36. Football match

"Are you sure that he wants me here?" Louis asks, sliding his big hand into her petite one as they wander around the empty primary school. 

The walls were covered with cute messy drawings and painted handprints, all were labelled by the kids that made them. They passed by multiple classrooms, which were all colourful and adorable. The whole school just seemed so lovely, it made the couple think about their future and if there was a child involved. 

Louis was in a wonderful trance as he looked around at all the small rainbow handprints on the walls, dreaming of his own child's handprint to one day be there too. But Clem, was racked with guilt. 

She enjoyed looking at the paintings but the haunting thought of what she had done to her baby kept hitting her all over again - it was difficult to dream like Louis was. 

"Of course he does, he asked if you could come too." she gently squeezes his hand. 

Louis' face lights up, a wide open grin spreads on his lips and reveals his white teeth. Clementine turns her head to look at him, she loved the small overbite he had. It made him look so damn adorable, especially with his freckles. She gets on her tiptoes and leans closer, she places a kiss on his cheek. 

"Now come on, we need to find a way out to the field so we don't miss it!" she drags him by the hand and walks at a must faster rate. 

They zip around multiple carpeted hallways and even an assembly hall before they find the double doors named 'Exit'.

Clementine pushes the door open and continues to drag Louis to the other side of the concrete playground. Various skipping ropes and short plastics stilts with strings were laid on top of the hard ground, colourful snakes with letters on and hopscotch squares were painted on the concrete. 

Louis squints at the field ahead, noticing a lot of parents stood or sat around an area of the grass, where a football match was going on. The players were all short and cute. He spots a dark brown afro bobbing up and down as the kid runs after the ball. 

"I think it's just started," he nods, pointing his finger at the match in the distance. 

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" she widens her eyes, seeing her younger brother play. 

As she takes her first step towards the field, Louis swoops her off her feet with his arms wrapped tightly around her.

"W-What are you-" 

Louis hushes her and she puts her legs around his waist, holding on to his shoulders. 

"Louis I'm not a baby, I can walk you know." she looks at him as though he's the craziest person on earth. 

He rolls his eyes and ignores her comment, tightening his firm grip around her so there was no way she could fall. Then he breaks out into a jog, making a little giggle escape from Clem's mouth. Her free curls bounce and she kisses his cheek. Louis smiles and then without warning - breaks out into a full sprint. 

The brunette girl squeals as a terror-filled wave of adrenaline washes over her. Her hair gusts across her face then flows with the wind behind her. She balls her fists, holding on to Louis for dear life as he continues to run towards the match. 

"LOUIS! TOO FAST!" she screams, whereas Louis laughs hysterically. 

They get to the football game in under twenty seconds, thanks to the dreadhead's speed. Clem takes her arms away from his neck and hops down, out of his grip. A few parents look at them sceptically but after a flash of Louis' smile and a glare from Clementine, they soon look away from the teens.
