While We're Young

Chapter 3

Right as the words leave my mouth, I blush furiously. Did I really just say that? I lower my head so I don't have to face the embarrassment, but Louis's gentle hand lifts my chin so I'm looking right into his amazing blue eyes. God, I could just kiss him again… He is so absolutely stunning, I don't even understand how I didn't realize before. I mean, I had noticed his amazingly strong appeal immediately, both looks wise and personality. But now, there was a new feeling inside of me and I had to let it go before I burst!

        I was about to speak but Louis pressed his lips firmly against mine. My eyes flutter closed and as his intensity fades as we deepen the kiss. I slide my arms around his neck and I can feel the hairs on the back of his neck have risen. He's not the only one with goosebumps.

His hands make their way around my waist and our kissing slows a bit. We carefully pull apart and look into each others eyes, deep. He whispers,

"I've been wanting to do that for a very long time…" and I shiver. Have I been waiting for this too? I… I think I have. It felt so good and so… right when we kissed. We fit together so perfectly. Words couldn't even describe how good it felt. He was a much better kisser than my "boyfriend" from the eighth grade.

he was about to lean in again when suddenly there was a knock at the door and I could hear a twisting of the knob. Shit. Louis and I tore apart and rearranged ourselves far apart and acted interested in the movie while Liam walked in. 

"Hi, guys! Hope I didn't interrupt your movie or anything!" he said, oblivious to the bright blush on both of our faces. 

"What do you need, Liam?" I ask, trying not to show the exasperation in my voice. He didn't notice of course, he was too busy staring at the television screen in horror.

"What is this movie rated, Ray? Would my mother approve?" I laugh and reply, 

"I think I'm old enough to decide what I can and can't watch, thank you. Now what do you need?" He sighs and shakes his head then says, 

"I just wanted to check on you. Plus, Zayn said he would let Niall sleep in his room tonight, so you can sleep in my room. I'm off now so come along, would you?" I instantly notice the disappointment I feel. I look at Lou and see his face is a bit bitter as well. 

"Thanks, man," Louis says, trying to sound normal. I stand up and lead them to the door, hugging them both goodbye. Louis's touch lingered as they walked out. I close my door and lean against it. I feel so elated I could fly. I couldn't stop smiling. 

I jump back on my bed and change the channel to some channel playing The Big Bang Theory. I grab my phone and immediately get on Twitter. Louis beat me to it. 

@Ray_Belle_Pay We should watch a scary movie again sometime ;)

I giggle inwardly and tweet back.

@Louis_Tomlinson Definitely. Next time we should do something else tho…

Almost immediately I get a reply.

@Ray_Belle_Pay Oh… you think so? 

My fingers tap quickly across the touch screen.

@Louis_Tomlinson Yeah, I think next time we shouldn't watch a movie and we should do                something else…

*Ding*! He tweeted back!

@Ray_Belle_Pay Yes, of course, totally. Because I had SO much fun :)

I lay back and smile at the ceiling. I was so happy. The feeling I'd always felt for him was really more than friendship. I can't wait to see what will happen next.
