Kate's POV

Everything has been amazing. The flight down was simple, we left early so we avoided people. Louis stopped just a few times but we kind of separated in the terminal so people wouldn't spot us together and speculate.

Then the game. God the game.

Seeing Ronaldo, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, some of the best players to ever grace the pitch of football. Football, see Louis is rubbing off on me, it's soccer. I'm American, but he constantly corrects me so I just start saying it around him to prevent myself from getting frustrated with him.

I feel like since being here, it has made us free. Free from speculation, so many people are here that they don't notice him. They're all here for the match, not to spot the celebrity. Of course, he has people on stand by if needed but they keep a low profile, hanging way back.

That kiss in the park though. I don't know what came over me to have me run away from him, sneak up on him and kiss him but it just felt right. The moment just felt like it needed to happen. And I'm so glad it did because, wow. It was everything I remembered it to be and more. Everything I wanted it to be and more. I don't know how Louis felt about it but at the moment I didn't care. The smirk that graced his face when I pulled away said it all to me.

We haven't stopped holding hands. I almost feel like it's my first relationship ever, the one where you just can't get enough of the other person. When your in high school and you suddenly have all the time in the world between classes to meet them and have them walk you to your next class, sit with them at lunch, meet them after school. You just want to be around them. You can't hid the smiles.

“So, it's kind of chilly to go for a swim.” I inform Louis as we wait for the elevator to come on the ground floor.

“Just a bit I'd say.” Louis rocks back and forth on his heels as the elevator dings and we get inside, pushing the button to the third floor, we're quite lazy today, no stairs. We're staying at a K +K, Louis had suggested other places, but we just needed somewhere to sleep and they're nice enough.

“What do you want to do?” I ask as I slip my shoes off when we get to our room. Shoes are always the first to go. I watch Louis take his jacket off, I don't know why he suggested the pool if he's wearing a jacket but I humored him.

“What do you want to do?” He asks as he flops on the bed and lays back. I take this time to look around the room, our bags were brought up without being asked. People are so nice here. I can't wait to come back and actually spend some time enjoying the culture.

“A nap?” I laugh. Airports always make me tired and that game was exhausting as well.

“Yeah?” He leans up on his elbow looking at me.

“Just a nap Louis.” I roll my eyes. I know we've already gone there but it's important to me to develop a real relationship, not just based on physical things.

“I know, I know.” He holds his hands in defeat. “So a nap.” Still smirking, I think I actually catch a wink from him as he hops up to pull the shades closed and slip his shoes off. I pull my socks off and my sweatshirt leaving just my tank top and pants. I rifle through my bag and find my shorts, I just can't sleep in skinny jeans. Heading off to the bathroom to empty my bladder and change my bottoms.

I come out to see Louis already in bed leaning on his side, his back facing me. I notice he has no shirt on and I steady my breath. I must not allow anything to happen. Not today. I walk around the side and see Louis has already peeled the covers back for me, a smile on his face. I shake my head and laugh as I sit on the edge of the bed, plugging my phone in to charge.

I snuggle up next to him, I can't remember the last time I slept with a man in my bed. Olivia is pretty good at snuggling but it's different when you get to be the little spoon. My skin almost burns when I feel him snake his arm around my waist and pull me closer. His breath against my neck sends me into a trance.

“Thank you for coming with me.” He whispers.

“I'm happy to be here. Thanks for inviting me.” I smile even if he can't see me.

“Mmm, sleep well.” His voice already groggy with sleep and I feel a simple kiss pressed to the back of my neck. I have to stop myself from letting a moan out. What can I say, it's been a while. I drift off to sleep with a smile that I feel is permanently pressed to my lips.

------------------------

I wake by myself as I stretch all the way to my toes and roll on my back. I sit up and see it's close to seven, I slept for almost two hours, good enough for me. I pull my knees up and look around for Louis, he's not there so I'm assuming he's in the bathroom.

I see no missed calls on my phone so it looks like Dottie and Olivia are doing well.

The door to the hotel room opens and Louis walks in holding a paper bag. “Oh hey.”

“Hi. What's in the bag?” I ask as I pull the covers back to step out.

“I couldn't sleep, well I slept for an hour and I didn't want to wake you by turning the tv on so took one of the guys out with me and went shopping for a bit.” He swings the bag up as his evidence.

“Ah, what did you get?” I ask eagerly.

“Well, actually I got it for you.” He looks at me cautiously, as if he doesn't know how I'll react.

“You did?” I'm curious.

“Yeah, I figured you could maybe wear it tonight for dinner? You don't have to, if you don't like it we can get you something different. I won't be upset.” He starts rambling and I can't help but laugh.

“Louis, stop.” I hold my hand out. “I'm sure it's great. Let me see it.” He hands the bag out to me and I put it on the bed to start digging.

“I had a few things picked out and I had to take pictures and send them to Lottie to have her help me make the final decision. So if you don't like it, let's blame it on Lottie okay?” He laughs. I shake my head as I pull out a dusty pink dress that should come to just above my knees, a cap sleeve, and flowy bottom.

“It's beautiful.” I whisper.

“So you like it?” His voice changing just a bit from his excitement.

“I do, thank you.” I hold the dress up to me in front of the mirror just to check it out.

“There's more.” He gestures to the bag and digs through it, pulling out a simple gold necklace with what looks like polished small rocks on it, and matching earrings. All I can do is shake my head.

“Louis Tomlinson! You didn't have to do this. I did bring nice things.” I put the dress down and look at the jewelry he bought for me as well.

“I know, but I wanted to. I also bought a few things for Olivia, I left them in the bag so she can get it tomorrow.”

“I'm just going to change quick and we can head out okay?” I grab the dress and quickly head to the bathroom before I let tears fall. How did I get so lucky as to meet him and have him treat me so kind. I've never had anyone buy me a whole outfit just for dinner just because he couldn't sleep. I bite my lips to try to stop the tears, happy tears of course. But I'm rather lazy and don't want to have to reapply my makeup.

I dry my eyes, quick slip my clothes off and change into my dress, I don't know how he did it but it fits like a dream. Pull on a few more coats of mascara, brush my teeth and step out the door for my nude heals. I see Louis sitting on the bed, elbow on his knees, looking deep in thought. I don't want to disturb him so I quietly pull my heals out and slip them on.

“Louis?” I get his attention and when his eyes hit me I feel like a million dollars from his reaction. “Is it okay?” I look down at my dress, straightening it with my fingers.

“Okay is an understatement.” He stands up and pulls in front of the mirror so we're both in it looking at each other. “I just want you to know that wherever I am, whatever happens, I'll always think of you and this moment. One of my happiest moments. Everything it took to get us here, I'd do it all over and over again if I had the choice. No regrets.” He kisses my shoulder and extends his arm to me. “Shall we go?”

I'm literally speechless. All I can do is nod and have him take the lead.
