The Chase That Lead Him To Me

chapter 14

*6 months later*

I looked up and saw Louis leaning against the door frame of our apartment.  Yes that’s right, our apartment. He had asked me to move in with him last month. The week after I graduated from high school, as we were sprawled on his couch he had asked if I wanted to move in. I still smiled at the memory.

*last month*

‘Are you comfy?’ Louis asked me. He sitting on the couch and had my legs on his lap as I lay there.

‘Yeah. Are you?’

He nodded ‘But your feet really stink.’ He scrunched up his nose. I pulled the pillow from next to me and threw it at him. I knew he was joking. I had just had a shower.

‘Rude.’

He laughed and caught the pillow before it hit his face. ‘Aw thanks.’ He tucked the pillow behind his head.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

I should’ve known that relaxing wasn’t even an option when I’m around Louis because he started tickling my feet. I pulled them back and crossed my legs; blocking his access to them. Louis laughed and crawled over to me. He was now on his hands and knees hovering over my body on the couch.

I looked up at him.

‘Hello.’

He kissed my nose.

‘Hi.’

He pulled back and just stared at me, our faces only centimetres apart. Before he could expect it I quickly leaned forward and pecked him on the mouth. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him down on top of me. After cringing over the sudden weight on top of me I started laughing. He laughed with me. We just lay there for about 2 minutes in silence, just lying in each-other’s arms.

I heard someone clear their throat behind us. I didn’t have to look up to know that it was Harry.

‘Well someone looks comfortable.’ I laughed and looked up at him.

‘Thanks. We are.’

‘What are you doing home so early? I thought you were going out with Madi tonight.’ Louis asked.

‘She had a play to go to. She asked me to go with her and I’m a little under dressed. I thought we were going to the movies.’ He said.

I burst out laughing. ‘Let me guess. She told you that you were going to the theatre and you thought she meant the movie theatre?’ Harry blushed.

‘Possibly.’ He walked away.

‘Don’t worry I did the exact same thing.’ I called to him as he walked down the hallway.

I returned my gaze to Louis. He was already looking at me, but I could tell he was thinking about something. He seemed slightly distracted.

‘What are you looking at?’

‘My gorgeous girlfriend.’ He said simply.

‘Why thank you. Turns out I’m looking at my boyfriend.’ I smiled.

‘You know I would love to meet him. He seems like an incredible guy.’ He smiled.

‘Yeah he is. But it won’t work out, I’m pretty sure he’s gay.’ I pushed him up off my chest with a cheeky smile on my face.

‘That was so uncalled for.’ He poked my stomach with a playful grin.

‘Aw you know I’m joking.’ I kissed his cheek.
