When we met

Chapter 8

Louis P.O.V.

Flashback

I hurried across campus desperate to make it to my first class on time. My first day and first class and I get lost. It was so obvious that I was a freshmen. I pulled out my map of the school, trying to see where my hall was for the class. As I was reading the map I walked right into somebody. 'Sorry.' I mumbled as I looked up and felt my breath hitch in my throat slightly. I had bumped into a boy who was without a doubt breath taking, literally. He was well over six feet with jet black styled in a quiff and his eyes... Holy shit were his eyes incredible. One was blue while the other was green, something that normally looks odd, but it was beautiful on him.

'Um, really sorry.' 'It's okay.' He smiled down at me charmingly, 'Are you lost?' 'What gave it away?' 'Your map in one hand, schedule in the other. Freshmen?' I grumbled, 'Yes.' 'That's okay. I'm a senior. I can help.' He took the map out of my hands and crumbled it up before tossing it on the ground. 'Are you going to throw that away?' He scoffed, 'Please, we don't pay sixty thousand quid a year to have to worry about rubbish bins. I'm Gavin, King.' He held out his hand while still offering me that charming smile. I smirked before taking it to shake it, 'Louis Tomlinson.' He wrapped an arm around my shoulders as he said, 'Well Lou Lou, you and I are going to be great friends.' 'Lou Lou?' I questioned with a snort as he guided me to my class. 'Yeah. I like it better. Don't you?' I wanted to say 'no', but his cheeky, charming and downright amazing smile made it impossible to say no. 'Sure. I like it.' 'Good cause I was going to call you it anyway.' I just chuckled slightly.

'I'm eighteen, from Doncaster, I'm an only child. And I'm studying law.' Gavin just kept staring at me with his chin on his hand and with a loving smile as I told him about myself. We were at a nice restaurant on a first date just after a week of meeting each other. I was a little nervous about saying 'yes', but Gavin was so charming I couldn't say 'no' to him.

'What else?' He asked softly, 'Erm, my favourite colour is blue, I love playing football and I'm going to be working for my step-dad's firm once I graduate.' He was just still looking at me with that small smile. 'What?' I asked with a chuckle. 'You're just beautiful Lou Lou.' I felt myself blushing as I looked down to my now empty plate.

He lifted my head with two fingers under my chin though. 'Don't look down. I won't be able to see those beautiful eyes of yours.' I just smiled again, trying my best not to look away considering he made me blush again. 'What about you? Tell me more about you.' 'You already know everything. I'm twenty-two, from Rotherham, all boring. I want to keep talking about you.' I shook my head in amusement, 'Why though?' 'What do you mean?' 'Why're you so interested about me? About a Freshman? I'm not that great.' 'Yes you are. I don't think you're just a freshmen. I think you're the greatest person I've ever met. You're so hot and sweet and adorably tiny.' I rolled my eyes playfully at that. I didn't like to be called small, but Gavin got away with it.

'And I love you.' My eyes shot back to his two different coloured ones. 'W-What?' 'I do. I know we met just a week ago, but I've never been so sure about anything. I love you Lou Lou. From your messy brown hair, ocean blue eyes, to your tiny toes. I love it all and I just want all of it every day.' I didn't know what to say. I just kept looking at him in shock. 'I-I... I mean, we haven't even kissed.' 'I know, but you don't need to kiss someone to know you love them. And I definitely love you.' Now I didn't know what to say, because I didn't know if he was expecting me to say it back. He seemed to have read my mind though, 'I'm not asking for it in return. I just want you to know that I love every inch of you with every inch of me.' I let out a long shaky breath while allowing a smile to spread across my face. 'Come on.' He said as he stood up, 'Let's get out of here.' I took his hand and allowed him to help me up. 'And it's okay you didn't say it back. I'm just glad I didn't scare you away.' 'You could never scare me away.' He gripped my hand more before guiding me out of the restaurant.
