One Chance *On Hold*
Chapter 19
**Aria’s POV** Tuesday
Yesterday we just relaxed the whole day so we decided that today we would get up somewhat early and go to the beach and spend the day there. I was last to wake up so I had to rush to get dressed and now we’re in a taxi on our way to Venice Beach. The drive there was about a half hour long, but it was absolutely worth it.
I stepped out of the cab breathing in the salty air, and then ran across the board walk, flicking off my sandals before landing on the warm sand. “I feel like I’m in heaven” I huffed as I spread my towel out on top of the sand. I had my bikini on under my clothes so I pulling off my shirt and short as everyone else did the same.
I felt to large hands grab my waist from behind and quickly turned around to face the person, “Damn” Louis said looking down at me and biting his lip.
“Get lost” I pushed his bare stomach surprised by how toned it was.
“You can’t blame me from trying when you look like that” he chuckled looking down at my body.
I couldn’t help blushing, “my eyes are up here,” I said bring my hand to his chin and lifting his gaze “now let’s go swimming” my tone lightened.
Louis mouth lowered to my ear, his lips grazing me slightly and his breath send shivers down my back. I expected him to make another dirty comment like usually, “race ya” he send surprising me before sprinting down to the water. It took me a few seconds to react before chase behind him to the water.
Finally the slightly cold waves met my feet. I took a few more strides into the water to where Louis stopped. “I won” he grinned before giving me a quick kiss.
“Cause you cheated” I punched his arm.
“I did no such thing” he said through a childish laugh.
“Then what do you call what you did up there cause I’m pretty sure it was cheating” I laughed.
“Playing to my strengths, obviously” he grinned.
“Well,” I said a smirk creeping onto my face “for that being your ‘strength’ I would have expected it to be better.”
“Oh really,” he took a step closer to me “cause it seem to worked pretty well on you”
“Wasn’t effected at all” I lie and attempting to push him back but his strong build kept him in place.
A short chuckled escaped his lips and he inched closer to me. I stood my ground, but with him towering over me and the waves crashing onto my legs making me work to keep my balance, I was quite intimidated by Louis. “Don’t lie to me now” he whispered into my ear and like always chills overcame me and butterflies went crazy in my stomach.
“I- I’m not lying” I said in the most fierce voice I could, but he was unaffected.
He pulled his head away; bring it back up to his normal stance. His pink tongue swiped across his bottom lip and I practically fell apart, but tried to look not amused by this whole thing.
“Fine, then look me in the eye and tell me you aren’t effected by me at all.”
I looked up into his deep blue eyes and took in a deep breath; certain people it’s hard for me to lie to, one of those people being Louis. Sure if I could spit out a quick little white lies here and there, but looking into those eyes and saying that he doesn’t have an effect on me. Ha, good luck to me. “I hate you, I really do” I said and a huge smirk appeared on his face and I turned walking deeper into the water, past were the waves would crash.
“You keep saying that” He laughed and hurried along next to me.
“It’s true” I said with an involuntary smile on my face.
He just laughed as a response. I stopped walking when the water reached my stomach and sunk into the water a little.
I couldn’t help but study Louis. The water was at his waist, his V line poking past the water slightly. My eyes wondered up to his toned stomach the to his chest that had a tattoo across it saying ‘it is what it is’ and another that was the number ‘70’ just below the words. His strong arms were filled with a bunch of little random tattoos, usually I wouldn’t like that but they suit him. I hired my gaze up to his face, around his mouth and slightly up his cheeks was light facial hair, I didn’t usually like that either but on Louis, it looked great. His hair had gotten somewhat wet from the waves splashing and was messily hung across his forehead. I finally met his eyes, those beautiful blue eyes that I’ve come to crave. He stared back into my eyes intently.
He awkwardly shifted his wait and looked down at the water. He seemed almost embarrassed. “This one’s my favorite” I pulled back his attention as I grazed my figure across the tattoo of a compass on his arm.
“Oh um thanks” he smiled somewhat shyly. It was kind of cute seeing him like that, but usually he’s confident about everything so I don’t get to see him like this a lot.
“It’s cute when you’re nervous” I smiled up at him.
“What? No, I’m not nervous” he brushed off my comment quickly.
I stretched up pushing my lips to him giving him a short kiss. “I said it’s cute, that means I like it so you shouldn’t be embarrassed by it”
“I don’t get nervous, that’s you” he said going back to his cocky self.
“Ha” I said with a smile.
“Hm, okay. Let’s play a game of truths” He said. Like truth or dare but no dares, I assume.
“Okay, bring it on” I said trying to sound confident about it.
“Alright, I’ll ask first,” Louis said quickly “Do I make you nervous?”
“Sometimes, um how many girls have you slept with?” I said the first question that came to mind.
“I’ve lost count, maybe twenty or thirty, what do I do that makes you nervous.”
Thirty?! That’s so fucking many! I focused back on the question. “Um I guess when you like whisper in my ear and we kiss and stuff,” I mumbled “when did you start thinking of me as something more than a girl you want to shag?”
“The day I drove you home from school, like I wasn’t committed or anything yet, but I knew you were special. Who’s a better kisser me or Aaron?”
Ugh I forgot about that. The night we drank I said him and Aaron, my more than just friends but not dating guy from ninth grade, were tied. I rolled my eyes up at him “tie-“
“No, one or the other” He butted in before I could ask my next question.
“Fine, its Aaron” I said just because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction, since I’m obviously not the best kisser out of the tons of girls he’s kissed.
“Well I’ll have to change that, now won’t I” he said with a half smirk.
Oh gosh, what did I just do.
