the connection

I wouldn't go anywhere else, babe: Chapter 10

Elle POV:

I walked out of the downstairs bathroom clad in a blue and white striped bandeu top and bottoms. I had a slip on crop top with holes in it, and sunglasses in my hair.

"Annabelle, annabelle, wherefore are thou Annabelle? Deny thy fathers...." I went on and practically yelled out the Romeo and Juliet verse I had practically memorized in year 10. I felt someones hot breath on the back of my neck and someones arms wrap around my waist.

"Louis! when'd you get here?" I turned around to see him smiling contently down without me. "We got everything you asked for! We even got vodka, tequila.." He rambled off alcohol. "I have missed alcohol.." I said, turning around and holding his hands. "We'll have loads of fun tonight! But Paul will be outside just in case." "Wow, we have security! We're so official." I said being sarcastic. He shoved me a little and walked into the kitchen to make taco dip while Louis went out back to clean the grill. The party was going to start soon so I hurried around cleaning and making food. Annabelle made a party mix and Harry cleaned the pool. Honestly, we were a good team for setting up pool parties.

People started arriving around 7 and the party was in full swing by 7:45. Everyone was either talking and catching up with people they hadn't seen since graduation, swimming, or just getting hammered. By 8:30 Annabelle, Louis, Harry and I were sat around the fire. I had a strong vodka drink in my hand and I was happy with how the party turned out. Poor Annabelle had 3 shots of tequila and was absolutely gone, poor girl is a lightweight. She was giggling and whispering god knows what into Harrys ear. Louis was quite buzzed too. I just wanted to get drunk, so I got an idea. "Guys, lets do body shots" I said and all 3 agreed. Louis stumbled through the crowd with me in tow, same with Harry and Anabelle. We made our way into the kitchen which was just a little messy. I poured 4 shots of tequila, got the limes and salt out too. Luckily, Annabelle and I had our crazy times in high school so we were no amateurs to body shots. I did Louis body shot on his neck, he moaned when I licked his neck. I grinned mischievously and Louis did my body shot on my neck as well. We then all took a shot together to insure our drunkness would last. I heard 'where dem girls at' blast through the speakers outside and dragged Louis out on the deck. Everything was a blur and I was swaying my hips with Louis. I looked up into his bloodshot eyes which were even beautiful while he was drunk. I pulled his head down and whispered slurred drunk words into his ear that made literally no sense. I danced with Louis for so long, I lost track of time. It was around midnight when everybody just crashed around my house and the sober ones drove home. Some drunks took a cab home. I stumbled up the stairs with Louis to my bedroom, but checked in the guest room where surely Harry and Annabelle were crashed on the bed. I giggled and slurred some words like 'they're so cute' before bringing Louis to my room. We both fell onto the bed and just laughed at absolutely nothing. He turned to face me and stared into my eyes while saying "I had a great great time tonight." I grinned and said "You're welcome." I was starting to nod off to sleep when I felt Louis turn my head towards me. I opened my eyes as I felt Louis lips hard on mine. I smiled through our kiss and rolled on top of him. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip, begging me for entrance. I gave in and our drunken tongues fought for dominance. I eventually pulled out of the kiss and rested my head against his while whispering 'You're different, Louis. A good different. Stay, please?" I stared into his eyes. "I wouldn't go anywhere else, babe."
