One Night

Chapter 23

JULIA POV

I hear the 3 knocks on my door. I know it's Louis.

I don't answer and walk into the kitchen to make a new tea and calm down.

"Julia open up" I hear Louis accent peer through the closed door.

"Louis, go away" I mumble from the kitchen and boil the water from my kettle.

"Please, I didn't mean to hurt you" He says.

"I'm not up for this anymore tonight.." I says dismally and I hear nothing but silence in return.

The silence echoes through and I know he's gone.

I'm not going to get to worked up about this but he did hurt my feeling a bit. He tells me that he want the world to see me, but yet he doesn't. I do not get him.

I tap my finger nails on the granite counter top and wait for the kettle to boil.

Suddenly I hear the door fly open and shutting and around the corner comes Louis in the kitchen.

I jump and he cups my face planting a passionate kiss on my lips.

He grabs my waist and lifts me on the counter top to be taller than him.

I run my hands in his hair getting lost in the kiss.

He pulls away and looks up at me with I glossy look in his eyes.

"I didn't mean what I said in a hurtful way. I just want to protect you" he says then puts his forehead on his shoulder.

"I know but it's just, I was excited and happy that we can be together on the real world outside of this hotel and you kind of just..I don't know" I mumble in twiddle his hair though my fingers.

"I know and I'm sorry. I'm so happy we can have a proper relationship but their are obsessed fans that with tear you apart on the social media. I don't want that so I was hoping they wouldn't find your Twitter, but they did" He softly kisses my collarbone.

"I don't listen to what people say, I can handle it" I look slightly down at him.

"Just please don't be mad, come back over and lay down with me" He sniffles and looks up at me.

"Okay luv" I mumble and kiss his soft pink lips.

He lifts me off the counter to appear shorter than him again and he moves the boiling kettle of the hot element and turns off the stove.

We get to his place and tiptoe in the bedroom.

I quietly get changed into a pair of high shorts that I leave here. Louis takes off his shirt and tosses to me to wear. He knows I like to wear his shirts he just wore.

It smells like him and it makes me happy.

I put on his black shirt and I let my hair down from it's bun.

My long brown hair lands on my shoulders and I ruffle my hand through it.

I look up at Louis across the room in nothing but his black Joe Boxer briefs.

I see his white bandages around his chine. He has been wear track pants to bed every time I stay over. Now that he knows I know about his infected burn, he's not hiding it anymore.

His tattoos run across his chest and down his arms.

"I'm just gonna take out my contacts okay" He whispers and pecks my cheek as he walks by me into the hallway.

I tiptoe past Harmony sleeping in her crib to the queen sized bed. I get in the side I usually sleep in and get under the blankets to get all warm.

I hear footsteps around the opposite side of the bed and Louis climbs in.

He gets under the covers with me and wraps his arm around my waist.

I smile with my eyes shut.

"You need to go the hospital tomorrow" I murmur to him.

"Will you take me?" He responds. Even with my eyes shut I can still tell he's smiling jokingly.

"Of course I will baby" I run my fingers up his side.

"Good" He moves just his thumb on my hip.

After a few moments of silence, I doze off into a deep sleep.

3 HOURS LATER

I hear a faint crying that gets louder and louder causing me to spring from my sleep.

Harmony stands up holding the side of the crib and cries.

Louis wakes up a few moments later and sits up.

"Harmony what's wrong?" He groans and gets up slinging his legs over to the ground.

He walks over to her crib and picks her up.

She rests her head on his shoulder and cries for a while. Louis bounces up and down and says a series of 'shh's

I sit up from the bed and watch him.

"Is she okay?" I ask.

"She fine, she's been doing this a bit lately. What time is it?" He shortly asks me.

I grab my phone on the bed side table and turn it on.

"4:28" I mumble.

"Yeah, around this time she seems to wake up and cry. I'm not sure why" He says quietly and her crying comes to just heavy breathing.

He slowly walks over to our bed and lays Harmony down in the middle.

"She wants to be held, she won't go back to sleep alone in her crib" He whispers and gets back in bed.

I smile and nod.

He and I pull the blanket over half of her so she is warm. She hold her bunny stuffy and lays on her side to face me.

He eyes become heavy and she completely shuts them. She is one of the most precious thing I've seen.

I trace my finger around the palm of her hand that she has extended out near me.

Her mouth sits half open to breathe and she lays with full piece between Louis and I.
