Finally Falling

Chapter 40

Marcel's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I shoved my books into my black bag and shut my locker, finally happy that this day was over and that I could hang out with Nick. My eyes scanned the crowd of teens until I finally saw him standing by the entrance, his arms waving in the air as he tried to get my attention. I muttered excuse me's to every person I pushed past until I finally got to him, greeting him with a wide smile.
" Alright Nicky lets go."
He laughed and ran his hand through his straight, dark brown hair as the cold wind blew. We walked side by side towards his red convertible that was waiting patiently for us to take a ride. It felt nice to have another guy friend to just hang out with. The only guy I would do that with was...ugh why am I even thinking about him. I shook my head slightly as if the sudden movement would push away all my thoughts of the blue eyed brunette.
" You okay? You seem...strange." Nick asked as he went to his side of the car and opened the door.
" I'm fine, just excited." I replied, trying to look like what I had just said was true. Nick shrugged and we shut the car doors in sync.
" Okay so I forgot what the place is called but trust me, I know you'll enjoy yourself."
I smiled as I tried to get myself comfortable in the leather seating and as I looked out the window I noticed Louis walking with Zayn. Zayn placed his hand on Louis' shoulder and said something that I couldn't quite understand but it seemed to calm Louis down. Suddenly Nick's car roared to life and the radio started to play.
" Let's go."

~*~*~*~*~

" Hi welcome to Diana's! Would you like a booth or a table?"
This brought back so many memories of Louis and I and it was difficult to focus without thinking of him.
" Marcel.."
I looked at Nick who was gesturing his arm towards one of the booths by the table. I walked behind him and took a seat in front of him.
" So..do you like it?" Nick asked with a big grin.
" Umm yea it's great. I've actually been here before." I reply as I ran my fingers through my hair.
" Oh? With who?"
" An old friend."
Suddenly, Diana walked up to us with a smile but it soon diminished when she noticed Nick.
" Hi would you like any drinks?"
" I'll have a strawberry milkshake."Nick replied.
" Water.."
" Alrighty I'll be right back." Diana then left us alone again and I noticed she looked upset.
" Hey I have to use the bathroom I'll be right back."
Nick walked away quickly to the men's room and I placed my head on my propped elbow and let out a long sigh.
" May I?"
I looked up and saw Archy who was standing about to sit down. I nodded and he made himself comfortable in the seat in front of me.
" Marcel what's going on with you and Louis?"
" What do you-"
" Don't act dumb boy. He came in here crying one day and told me everything."
Part of me was surprised. Louis hated crying in front of people, I know that for a fact. It made him feel weak and he didn't like to feel pitied so the fact that he came crying to Archy and Diana meant something.
" But did he tell you that he cheated? Broke my heart?"
" That's the thing about you kids. You never want to listen to the full story. How about you go ask Louis what happened instead of believing what that fling ding girl told you."
My mouth stayed shut and I looked down at the table.
" You know he loves you right? I know when that boy is lying."
I looked up at him and let out a small smile as he handed me the keys to his truck.
" But what about Nick?"
" You mean that boy in the bathroom? I'll tell him you had an emergency." Archy smiled. I got up and ran to the door but stopped. Before I left I had to thank Archy so I gripped him in a tight hug.
" Alright alright I know I'm amazing now go."
I raced outside towards the beat up gray truck, almost slipping on the ice as I tried to open the door.

Louis' POV
~~~~~~~~~

I drank my tea slowly as I sat criss cross apple sauce on the couch. Marcel hasn't left my mind once and it was turning me into a wreck. I needed to stop acting like he was just going to show up at my doorstep and just forgive me. That only happens in movies and this was real life. A real shitty one but a life nonetheless. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door and I let out a groan.
" Leave me alone Zayn!" I shouted. He had been coming over to see how I was doing and everyday I would try to make him leave. But the knocking continued, louder then before. I got up and walked to the door, adjusting my beanie slightly as I opened it.
" Zayn I told you I'm fi-"
My words were cut off by a pair of soft lips on mine and I could automatically distinguish who the person was. I slowly began to melt into the kiss as Marcel placed his hands on my waist and pulled me in closer. We then pulled away and I looked at him with wide eyes.
" W-what was that?"
" Louis, I'm sorry. I never gave you a chance to explain yourself and what really happened."
I nodded and let him come inside. I wasn't going to mess this up now, it may be my only chance.
" Do you want anything?" I asked as I headed to the kitchen.
" Maybe some hot chocolate with-"
" Three marshmallows, I know Marcel." I chuckled. I reached for the upper cupboard where the mugs were but I was too short. Curse my tiny size. I decided to go on my tippy toes and could feel my fingers brush past one of the bright red mugs. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me and a larger hand grab two mugs. I turned around and saw Marcel right in front of me with a smirk on his face.
" I could have gotten those you know." I said with a pout as I grabbed the mugs from him.
" Really? Because you looked like a ballerina as you tried to get them." he replied with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes and started to prepare the hot chocolate on the stove. As I waited for the drink to cook, I stood next to Marcel who was leaning against the counter.
" Is this new?" I asked as I looked at the outfit he was wearing. It was different from his usual brown sweater vest and dark brown pants.
" No I've always had it in my closet, just never wore it." he shrugged.
" It looks good on you." I smiled as I laced my fingers around one of his curls. It was a habit that I acquired since the whole baby project but Marcel never seemed to mind. We both just stood there staring at each other until I realized that the hot chocolate was ready. I poured the chocolatey liquid into both our cups, making sure to put three marshmallows into Marcel's mug. We both then made our way to the couch and I immediately decided to put on Netflix to find a movie.
" What do you want to watch?" I asked as I brought a thick blanket around us.
" I want to talk, I told you that when I got here."
I took a breath and decided that it's ether now or never.
" Nothing happened. I needed her help looking for a gift for you."
" Was it really necessary to spend almost a month searching for this said gift Louis?"
" Actually yes it was. I wanted it to be special because I wanted to tell you something."
" What? That you don't like me anymore and it would let me down easy?" Marcel shouted.
" No! So I could tell you that I loved you! I wanted it to be special. I had everything planned out and then Eleanor came and ruined it. That photo of Sam and I are fake Marcel. I would never date Sam and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't date me either. Plus she has Niall and he's my best friend."
It was dead silent for a while and I was searching his eyes, waiting for a response. Finally it came.
" You love me?"
" With all my heart, mind, body and soul." I replied as I placed his hand into my own.
" I'm sorry for hurting you and not telling you sooner. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't love me back. I mean honestly, I'm a jerk." Suddenly a slap came to my cheek and I grabbed it as I felt the skin burn.
" Well why didn't your say that you idiot. You made me think that you were cheating!"
I looked down at my lap, not having the strength to look him in the eye.
" Louis," Marcel lifted my chin so he could see my face." You are a jerk but your my jerk. I forgive you and I love you too." A bright smile spread across my face as I heard those words. He loves me back.
He then began to lean in and I did the same, until our lips touched and the usual sparks flew. I wanted this so badly, kissing Marcel was like a drug and finally I had it back. The need to have him closer was too great so I pressed my body against his and ran my fingers through his soft curls, smiling when I heard a soft whimper escape his lips. Marcel's hands ran down my back and stopped right at my ass. He then gave it a squeeze and I let out a moan.
" Mmm I love your ass Lou.." Marcel moaned as I began to place kisses onto his neck.
" Don't ever leave me again Marcel, I don't know what I'll do without you." I whisper into his ear, nibbling at the lobe afterwards.
" I won't baby."
