Unable
Drunk
SKYLAR POV
The alarm pulls me out of a deep sleep. Whose alarm is that? I don't have class until 11. I start to stretch out of the fetal position.
"Sorry Sky," I hear Perrie's sweet voice say in an apologetic tone.
"What time is it Perrie?"
"8:30, I have my first class at 10 and need to get back to my dorm to shower and get my stuff for class."
"I have to get up at 9 anyhow. Do you have time to grab a quick breakfast with me before class?"
"Breakfast!!!" Vivy bolts straight out of bed and Perrie and I laugh after we recover from her scaring us.
"Jeez Viv! Way to scare the crap out of us!" I shout.
"Sorry, I'm hungry," she pouts and rubs her belly.
"Why? Not like you had sex again with Harry last night," I still need to get her back more for teasing Louis yesterday.
"Oh my God Vivy!! You didn't?" Perrie screams.
"Um, well, oh hell it's not like Sky and Louis aren't messing around!" oh no she didn't just go there.
"Louis and I are NOT having sex!" I yell back.
"Just a matter of time love," Vivy smirks at me.
"Wait! Sky are you still a virgin?" Perrie says wide eyed at me.
"Uh yes?" should I be embarrassed the way she asked that?
"If Louis hurts you, I will kill him myself!" Perrie bursts out in laughter after her proclamation.
"He won't, he still is too," the moment the words left my mouth I regretted it.
"WHAT???!!" Perrie and Vivy sceam in unison and ran and jumped on my bed.
"NOOO! Guys please forget I ever said anything! Please! He'll hate me!!" I am in full on panic mode.
"I just can't believe it. Oh God This is so cute! You two are so adorable!" Perrie coos.
"Tommo a virgin! This is the best!" Vivy fist pumps.
"No, it's terrible. Forget it ever came out of my mouth!"
"Well, at least it explains the Aaron and Scarlet thing," Vivy says and Perrie nods in agreement.
"I just think it's so cute that you two are going to do it together for the first time," Vivy smiles and Perrie is gushing.
"Hold the phone! Who said I am going to have sex with Louis?"
"Oh you two so are going to do it. He is crazy about you. Zayn says practically every other word out of his mouth is Sky. And don't you try to fool me. We may have met a week ago, but I'd have to be blind, deaf, and stupid to miss how nuts you are about him," I can feel the blush on my cheeks. I'd like to run away, but it's nice to have girls with experience to talk with about this. All I have are brothers who would murder me for even saying the word sex.
"Perrie, can I ask you something?" I hope she doesn't get mad at me.
"Sure love."
"How long were you and Zayn together before you had sex?"
"Six weeks."
"How did you know it was right?"
"Sky, when the time comes, you'll know it's right. You won't want anything more to belong to Louis body and soul and you'll be secure in your feelings for each other."
"Thanks Perrie."
"Hey! Why aren't you asking me?" Vivy pouts.
"I love you like a sister, but first Aaron and then you slept with Harry before your first date," we all burst into laughter.
"Good point Sky," Vivy admits.
"Uh Sky, if you are starting to consider having sex with Louis at some point in the future, make sure you talk with me and Vivy. You'll need birth control and I'm sure we'd both be happy to help you prepare," Perrie says with a very sweet smile on her face and Vivy nods and squeezes my hand.
"Thanks. Love you both, but now this is way to serious in the morning before I've had my cuppa. Let's get ready and grab breakfast. Perrie why don't you just borrow some of my clothes and get ready here to save time?"
"Sure! Mind if I raid your closet?"
"Go for it," I giggle.
We proceed to scatter around the room to get ready for the day when my phone goes off.
Louis: Morning love. Hope you slept well. xx
Me: I did. Had a great night with Perrie and Vivy xx
Louis: :(
Me: What's wrong babe?
Louis: I missed you and I had to try to sleep with 4 rowdy boys
Me: Awe, I missed you too ;)
Louis: Well, if you wouldn't have commanded me home, I could have stayed with you ;)
Me: Oh yes, waking up to the ole "Tommo Thrust" ;)
Louis: Your mouth! :0
Me: Yes, what about my mouth :0
Louis: Stop it you pervert!
Me: OMG what were you thinking??!!
Louis: Nothing love ;)
Me: You're the perv lol
Louis: Can I stay tonight?
Me: I'll check with Vivy
Louis: She owes me from yesterday
Me: Gotta run, bfast with Perrie and Vivy. See you in drama! xxxxx
Louis K xxxxx
PERRIE POV
I sit on the edge of Sky's bed watching her text on her phone. It has to be Louis. The smile on her face is so big it could split her face in two and she's literally glowing. I think Sky and Louis are falling in love with each other. Zayn and I talked about it yesterday and he sees it too. Speaking of Zayn, I hear my phone buzz with my text tone for him.
Zayn: Morning babe x
Me: Hey babe x
Zayn: Fun girls night?
Me: Yes and you and the boys?
Zayn: Oh God, Louis whined and pouted all night
Me: Why?
Zayn: He missed Sky. He wanted to be with Sky. He's mad at Liam and Niall for crashing our date and demanding a sleepover because he wanted to stay with Sky. The list goes on and on and on...
Me: OMG that is so cute!
Zayn: Try so annoying :(
Me: He's in love with her! She's in love with him!
Zayn: Did she tell you that?
Me: She doesn't need to, it's obvious.
Zayn: Well, I just might have to see for myself. We've got art together at 11.
Me: You'll see I'm right ;)
Zayn: Hope so because I won't be able to take Lou if she isn't lol
Me: Bye babe, gotta go to bfast xx
Zayn: xx
"Okay, let's go. I'm starving and I don't want to be late to my class," I say.
"Let's go then," says Vivy and we all head to eat.
**Art Class with Skylar and Zayn**
ZAYN POV
I came to class early to have a few minutes to talk with Sky before class. Lou will be here afterwards to walk her to drama. So, this is my chance to quiz her about him. Finally, she walks into the room.
"Hey Sky."
"Morning Zayn! Perrie told me you had a rough night with Louis. Sorry," she laughs but she has a huge smile on her face.
"You're pretty pleased with yourself, huh?" I smirk.
"What are you talking about?" she really looks confused.
"You've got my boy all tied up in knots." Sky blushes a bright red. Very cute.
"Someone's blushing!" I can't help but tease her and she covers her face with her hands.
"Come on Sky, it's sweet. Although it annoyed the hell out of me last night, I've never seen Lou like this. He's crazy about you."
"I'm kinda crazy about him too," Perrie was right, Lou and Sky got it bad for each other.
"Cool. I'm happy for you guys. Plus, Perrie and I have another couple to go on double dates with."
"Oh please! After last night with the Vivy-Harry-Liam triangle we need a normal couple to go out with!" Sky says with a laugh and I can't help but join her.
"That is a hot mess," I say with exaggerated hand movements and our conversation ends as the professor starts class.
**Before Drama Class**
LOUIS POV
I'm waiting for Sky to walk her to our drama class. I have exciting news to tell her. Right on time here she comes with Zayn.
"Hey babe," I give her a peck on the lips and hug, "I missed you," I whisper in her ear and she gives me a big smile when I pull away.
"Hey mate," I smack Zayn on the back and he fake punches my shoulder.
"Hey Lou. See you guys, I gotta meet Perrie for sociology," Sky and I say our farewells to Zayn and begin walking to our class.
"I got some exciting news during music composition today," I say to Sky as I interlace our fingers and I cannot contain my smile.
"Share!!"
"There is a contest for a music producer internship at a record label and Ed Sheeran is the judge!"
"That's amazing Lou! Are you going to enter?"
"Yes. We have to submit and perform 2 songs in front of Ed at a music department concert next month and then he chooses the winner. The best part is that the winner is guaranteed that Ed will choose one of the songs for his next album!"
"This is so exciting! Do you have any songs written Lou?"
"I have several, but only one that I would consider submitting. I'll have to spend some time writing over the next few weeks."
"Do I get to hear your song before the concert?"
"Would you like to hear the one song tonight?"
"I'd love it! Come over tonight and play it for me?"
"If you let me stay the night, I will," ah sweet blackmail.
"If you behave yourself, yes." She pecks my lips and rushes ahead into the classroom and I run to follow her.
"Hey!" I whisper yell, "I thought you liked when I touched you," I pout.
"Shhhhhh. Someone will hear you," she blushes and looks so adorable.
"Answer me or I'll scream it," she slaps her hand across my mouth.
"Yes, but I don't want to move too fast," she whispers so soft and fast I barely heard her.
"You're the one who assaulted me in the closet first," I sass and smirk at her.
"I'm aware of that Lou. Can we please not talk about this here? She's so cute when she's embarrassed.
"Okay, but we will finish this conversation later. I want you to talk to me about how you feel," Sky smiles, grabs my hand, and gives it a squeeze. My heart melts when I look into her eyes. I have fallen so hard for Sky, I'd do anything to keep that smile on her face.
**That Evening**
SKYLAR POV
"Vivy, do I look okay?" I spin around to give her the 360 view of my outfit. I went for a casual look, since we were staying in, of low rise denim short-shorts, a white fitted tank, and a pink plaid Hollister shirt. My hair is loosely curled and I'm only wearing mascara and nude lip gloss. I gotta admit it's nice to have a boyfriend who doesn't think you need makeup, it makes getting ready so much faster.
"Well, if Lou doesn't like it you two can always excuse yourself to the closet and he can dress you," she wiggles her eyebrows.
"Don't you dare tease him again or I'll get on Harry's case," I smirk.
"I don't know how to break this to you Sky, but you look hot. Louis isn't gonna let you stay a virgin for long if you run around looking like that in front of him."
"Do I look like a slut?" I panic.
"No, just hot," she laughs.
"Maybe I should change," or not as there is a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Vivy walks to the door and I contemplate running to the closet to change until I see the look on my beautiful boyfriend's face. I think his eyes are going to pop out of his head.
"Hi Louis," why do I sound so shy. Oh yeah, it's the way he's looking at me.
"Hi baby," he walks towards me, puts his guitar case on my bed, and then surprises me as he kisses me senseless.
"Yeah, won't be long now," Vivy shouts and she and Harry snicker. Oh great does everyone know we're virgins?
"Louis, you promised to behave," I scold.
"I needed to give you a proper kiss and you look so sexy," he whispers in my ear and I feel butterflies go crazy inside my stomach.
"Well, I hate to break up this romantic moment, but the pizza is going to get cold if we don't eat right away," Harry interrupts and we all walk to the dining area to eat dinner.
About an hour later, we all go into the sitting room. Louis walks into the other room to get his guitar. It's time for the big unveil of one of the songs he is going to submit for the contest.
LOUIS POV
I am so nervous for Skylar to hear this song. I hope she likes it because I wrote it about her, about us. Well about when there almost wasn't an us because I was an idiot. That first night we stayed together and I thought I blew my chance with her, that next day was the worst of my life. Those few hours when Harry thought I was sleeping, I was sulking, feeling sick that I lost her, but I laid in bed writing out this song before I drifted off. This is a little scary to be putting my feelings out there in the open. Sky knows I'm crazy about her, but this is going to let her know how vulnerable I am when it comes to her. So yeah, I'm scared shitless.
"Lou, what ya doing? Rewriting the song?" Harry jokes.
"How long have I been out here?"
"Ten minutes, What's wrong?"
"I'm scared. She's going to learn how weak I am when it comes to her."
"Mate, she's going to love it. It's a great song. Does she know you wrote it about her?"
"No, but she can't miss it once we sing it. It's like I put a big neon sign on my feelings."
"Come on. Man up and let's go do this."
"Okay and thanks for agreeing to sing this as a duet with me."
"Anytime Lou."
I walk slowly behind Harry into the room where the girls have been waiting.
"Cold feet Lou?" Vivy questions me with a raised eyebrow and Sky elbows her, I smirk at Vivy after my lovely girlfriend defends me and it gives me a little courage.
"Vivy, don't joke about Lou's music or I'll cut you off," Harry chimes in and Vivy pouts.
"No Viv, just checking to make sure everything is perfect," I respond calmly.
"Babe, what's the name of the song?" Skylar asks.
"Oddly enough, it's called 'Drunk'," Skylar raises her eyebrows. I don't know whether she figured out it's about that night or she thinks it's a bar ballad.
"Okay Harry, ready?" Harry nods and I begin to play the intro on my guitar.
I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
What didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all.
Love will scar your make-up, lip sticks to me
So now I maybe lean back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to.
But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me.
Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I got no plans for the weekend
So should we speak then
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.
There may be other people like us
Who see the flicker of the clipper when they light up
Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before
And you don't hold me anymore.
On cold days cold plays out like the band's name
I know I can't heal things with a hand shake
You know I can't change as I began saying
You cut me wide open like landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make.
Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.
All by myself
I'm here again
All by myself
You know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.
Harry and I finish the song and I look up at Skylar. Her eyes are open wide, her mouth is parted open, and her face is flush. I take it she understands the song. It feels like minutes have gone by because she's said nothing. We're just staring at each other. Finally, Harry breaks the silence.
"Vivy, let's go get your bag and head back to my place for the night. I think the love birds need to talk." For once, Vivy is quiet. She simply nods and follows him out of the room. I can't take this stare down anymore.
"Sky baby, please say something," I beg. Suddenly, she rises from her chair and walks towards me. Is she going to slap me?
When she reaches me, she pulls the guitar off of me and places it next to the couch. I'm a thousand times more nervous than I was before I sang the song. My heart is going to pound right through my chest. Sky puts her arms around my neck and I start to relax just for a second and then she finally speaks.
"You wrote that about us?" She asks it like she is in disbelief.
"Yes, when I thought I lost you."
"You could never lose me," Sky crashes her lips to mine and feelings of relief and happiness wash over me.
When we finally pull away from the kiss, Sky says, "That song is almost as wonderful as you Louis," I can't help but give her a goofy grin. She's the one who is wonderful and then something pops into my mind.
"Sky, can we go to bed now?" I wait for her reaction to see if she remembers we need to finish our talk from earlier.
"Subtle Lou. Yes, let me change. Go get into bed."
SKYLAR POV
I'm almost relieved Louis wanted to go to bed so I have a few minutes to myself to think. That song. There are no words to describe how I feel right now. Louis wrote a love song about us and it is so beautiful and touching. While he was singing I couldn't take my eyes off him. I literally thought my heart was going to explode. Things have been moving so fast between us, but I can't help it. My heart is screaming to me that I am falling head over heels in love with Louis, but my brain is telling me it's too soon.
"Sky, are you coming out or do I have to come get you? I'm lonely," I hear Louis' cute pouty voice.
"Be there in a minute love," I rush to change into my pjs, brush my teeth, and wash my face.
When I walk into the room, I am greeted by the gorgeous site that is my mostly naked boyfriend lying in bed with the covers pulled only to his waist. I crawl into bed and Louis snuggles me in is arms, my new favorite place on earth.
"That's so much better baby," he snuggles his face into my neck, "So Sky, I want you to be honest with me about the touching. Is it too much too soon for you?" I'm glad he can't see my face because I am so embarrassed to talk about this with him.
"No, I told you what we did before was fine. I just don't know if I'm ready to go further yet."
"Sky, I told you that's fine. I don't want to push you into something you're uncomfortable doing. We'll go at your pace."
"Really? You aren't upset Lou?"
"No. Why would I be?"
"Well, I feel like I've been the one making moves and then I put the brakes on. I don't know. I'm just not experienced with this."
"Do not apologize, please baby. I love your touch and I can't get enough of it, When you let me touch you yesterday, I could have exploded from the feel of your body in my hands. Any part of you that you are willing to share with me is a gift I treasure," damn he knows how to make me melt.
"Giving me time is a gift too Louis from you. Now, if we can put this conversation to bed, can I please make out with my devastatingly handsome and musically talented boyfriend before I go to sleep?"
"I thought you'd never ask love," with moves that can only be described as ninja-like, Louis flips us around, kisses me passionately and all I can think is I never want this moment to end.
The alarm pulls me out of a deep sleep. Whose alarm is that? I don't have class until 11. I start to stretch out of the fetal position.
"Sorry Sky," I hear Perrie's sweet voice say in an apologetic tone.
"What time is it Perrie?"
"8:30, I have my first class at 10 and need to get back to my dorm to shower and get my stuff for class."
"I have to get up at 9 anyhow. Do you have time to grab a quick breakfast with me before class?"

"Sorry, I'm hungry," she pouts and rubs her belly.
"Why? Not like you had sex again with Harry last night," I still need to get her back more for teasing Louis yesterday.
"Oh my God Vivy!! You didn't?" Perrie screams.
"Um, well, oh hell it's not like Sky and Louis aren't messing around!" oh no she didn't just go there.
"Louis and I are NOT having sex!" I yell back.
"Just a matter of time love," Vivy smirks at me.
"Wait! Sky are you still a virgin?" Perrie says wide eyed at me.
"Uh yes?" should I be embarrassed the way she asked that?
"If Louis hurts you, I will kill him myself!" Perrie bursts out in laughter after her proclamation.
"He won't, he still is too," the moment the words left my mouth I regretted it.
"WHAT???!!" Perrie and Vivy sceam in unison and ran and jumped on my bed.
"NOOO! Guys please forget I ever said anything! Please! He'll hate me!!" I am in full on panic mode.

"I'll get it," Vivy walks to the door and I contemplate running to the closet to change until I see the look on my beautiful boyfriend's face. I think his eyes are going to pop out of his head.
"Hi Louis," why do I sound so shy. Oh yeah, it's the way he's looking at me.
"Hi baby," he walks towards me, puts his guitar case on my bed, and then surprises me as he kisses me senseless.
"Yeah, won't be long now," Vivy shouts and she and Harry snicker. Oh great does everyone know we're virgins?
"Louis, you promised to behave," I scold.
"I needed to give you a proper kiss and you look so sexy," he whispers in my ear and I feel butterflies go crazy inside my stomach.
"Well, I hate to break up this romantic moment, but the pizza is going to get cold if we don't eat right away," Harry interrupts and we all walk to the dining area to eat dinner.
About an hour later, we all go into the sitting room. Louis walks into the other room to get his guitar. It's time for the big unveil of one of the songs he is going to submit for the contest.
LOUIS POV
I am so nervous for Skylar to hear this song. I hope she likes it because I wrote it about her, about us. Well about when there almost wasn't an us because I was an idiot. That first night we stayed together and I thought I blew my chance with her, that next day was the worst of my life. Those few hours when Harry thought I was sleeping, I was sulking, feeling sick that I lost her, but I laid in bed writing out this song before I drifted off. This is a little scary to be putting my feelings out there in the open. Sky knows I'm crazy about her, but this is going to let her know how vulnerable I am when it comes to her. So yeah, I'm scared shitless.
"Lou, what ya doing? Rewriting the song?" Harry jokes.
"How long have I been out here?"
"Ten minutes, What's wrong?"
"I'm scared. She's going to learn how weak I am when it comes to her."
"Mate, she's going to love it. It's a great song. Does she know you wrote it about her?"
"No, but she can't miss it once we sing it. It's like I put a big neon sign on my feelings."
"Come on. Man up and let's go do this."
"Okay and thanks for agreeing to sing this as a duet with me."
"Anytime Lou."
I walk slowly behind Harry into the room where the girls have been waiting.
"Cold feet Lou?" Vivy questions me with a raised eyebrow and Sky elbows her, I smirk at Vivy after my lovely girlfriend defends me and it gives me a little courage.
"Vivy, don't joke about Lou's music or I'll cut you off," Harry chimes in and Vivy pouts.
"No Viv, just checking to make sure everything is perfect," I respond calmly.
"Babe, what's the name of the song?" Skylar asks.
"Oddly enough, it's called 'Drunk'," Skylar raises her eyebrows. I don't know whether she figured out it's about that night or she thinks it's a bar ballad.
"Okay Harry, ready?" Harry nods and I begin to play the intro on my guitar.
I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
What didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all.
Love will scar your make-up, lip sticks to me
So now I maybe lean back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to.
But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me.
Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I got no plans for the weekend
So should we speak then
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.
There may be other people like us
Who see the flicker of the clipper when they light up
Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before
And you don't hold me anymore.
On cold days cold plays out like the band's name
I know I can't heal things with a hand shake
You know I can't change as I began saying
You cut me wide open like landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make.
Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.
All by myself
I'm here again
All by myself
You know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.
Harry and I finish the song and I look up at Skylar. Her eyes are open wide, her mouth is parted open, and her face is flush. I take it she understands the song. It feels like minutes have gone by because she's said nothing. We're just staring at each other. Finally, Harry breaks the silence.
"Vivy, let's go get your bag and head back to my place for the night. I think the love birds need to talk." For once, Vivy is quiet. She simply nods and follows him out of the room. I can't take this stare down anymore.
"Sky baby, please say something," I beg. Suddenly, she rises from her chair and walks towards me. Is she going to slap me?
When she reaches me, she pulls the guitar off of me and places it next to the couch. I'm a thousand times more nervous than I was before I sang the song. My heart is going to pound right through my chest. Sky puts her arms around my neck and I start to relax just for a second and then she finally speaks.
"You wrote that about us?" She asks it like she is in disbelief.
"Yes, when I thought I lost you."
"You could never lose me," Sky crashes her lips to mine and feelings of relief and happiness wash over me.
When we finally pull away from the kiss, Sky says, "That song is almost as wonderful as you Louis," I can't help but give her a goofy grin. She's the one who is wonderful and then something pops into my mind.
"Sky, can we go to bed now?" I wait for her reaction to see if she remembers we need to finish our talk from earlier.
"Subtle Lou. Yes, let me change. Go get into bed."
SKYLAR POV
I'm almost relieved Louis wanted to go to bed so I have a few minutes to myself to think. That song. There are no words to describe how I feel right now. Louis wrote a love song about us and it is so beautiful and touching. While he was singing I couldn't take my eyes off him. I literally thought my heart was going to explode. Things have been moving so fast between us, but I can't help it. My heart is screaming to me that I am falling head over heels in love with Louis, but my brain is telling me it's too soon.
"Sky, are you coming out or do I have to come get you? I'm lonely," I hear Louis' cute pouty voice.
"Be there in a minute love," I rush to change into my pjs, brush my teeth, and wash my face.
When I walk into the room, I am greeted by the gorgeous site that is my mostly naked boyfriend lying in bed with the covers pulled only to his waist. I crawl into bed and Louis snuggles me in is arms, my new favorite place on earth.
"That's so much better baby," he snuggles his face into my neck, "So Sky, I want you to be honest with me about the touching. Is it too much too soon for you?" I'm glad he can't see my face because I am so embarrassed to talk about this with him.
"No, I told you what we did before was fine. I just don't know if I'm ready to go further yet."
"Sky, I told you that's fine. I don't want to push you into something you're uncomfortable doing. We'll go at your pace."
"Really? You aren't upset Lou?"
"No. Why would I be?"
"Well, I feel like I've been the one making moves and then I put the brakes on. I don't know. I'm just not experienced with this."
"Do not apologize, please baby. I love your touch and I can't get enough of it, When you let me touch you yesterday, I could have exploded from the feel of your body in my hands. Any part of you that you are willing to share with me is a gift I treasure," damn he knows how to make me melt.
"Giving me time is a gift too Louis from you. Now, if we can put this conversation to bed, can I please make out with my devastatingly handsome and musically talented boyfriend before I go to sleep?"
"I thought you'd never ask love," with moves that can only be described as ninja-like, Louis flips us around, kisses me passionately and all I can think is I never want this moment to end.
