Louis' POV

I watch her intently, every move she makes I follow. There's something about her that just sucks me in. I can't help but become oblivious to all the people in this club, in my head it's just me and her, this stranger who is simply captivating. I can't deal with these thoughts, she looks too innocent, too sweet for someone like me. But I just can't take my eyes away from her, it's crazy how much I want her, yet I don't even know her name.
I'm rambling far too much, I'm too busy quick thinking in my brain and I start to get dizzy.

She looks my way and I don't move. She smiles widely to her friend who is now approaching her as they continue to dance. I wonder who else she's come with tonight? I don't see any kind of boyfriend here, that's always a bonus.

I scan her slim frame, the way her dress rises up I secretly wish to see some flesh. But the lights in this place disguise her skin as she turns around again. She's clearly from the other side of town, she's probably a college student who has her whole life ahead of her. She wouldn't dare to hang around with someone like me.

I'm not as bad as I sound, I just don't always make the right choice. I've got a strong family who I'd die for and I've been brought up with enough love and respect. I was taught everything a child should be taught, like having manners and to respect others.
But I'm not the best when choosing who to let in my life, I've been fucked over way too many times. My skin has learned to toughen up, I'm now more wary of who I see and trust, but I get bored of the same old shit.

Just seeing this girl here tonight has made me realise how much she is out of my league. I can pull girls easily without sounding too big headed, I just know how to charm. But I can never keep them, they hate how I can't seem to love like they do. I try, but I never seem to give them what they want, I'm not a romantic, I'm not open enough and I don't wear my heart on my sleeve.

I've imagined how good it must be too make a girl feel safe. I want to feel that connection with someone where I can be everything she needs, I just haven't mastered how. I sometimes date girls who know I won't treat them like a princess, because girls I know around here aren't like that. They like to be tough and just as strong as me, I suppose in a way it makes a good team. So kind and gentle girls who may like me at first, they never stick around.

That's why I look away from the beautiful sight ahead of me. There's no point thinking of approaching her, I know the drill. She could possibly like me because I do know how to charm a girl, but she'd only be disappointed. I don't want to be close at getting something that won't stay.

I take my double whiskey and finish it off. I stand up and leave the glass on the table, I see my friends walking towards me carrying several trays of drinks. There's no way they're going to let me leave early, so I excuse myself as I try to find the toilets.

I push through the crowd and I make my way out from the dance area. As I turn the corner, I suddenly feel a cold liquid splash on my shirt.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" I look up to see an attractive blonde girl gasping at me. "I really didn't mean too!" She panics and I shake my head as I tell her I'm fine. I suddenly stop as the girl from the dancefloor appears by her side.

"It's fine.." I repeat as I look away and scratch the back of my head.

"Sorry, I don't usually throw my drink over people." She adds and I smirk at her humour. I look to her friend again and she softly smiles, I smile back and I clear my throat.

"Don't worry about me. I have plenty more shirts." I say as I look back to the blonde girl. She thanks me and starts to walk away. As her friend walks past I have the urge to stop her but I don't. She smiles a smile that I recognise well, she's interested for further conversation.

"Would you like a drink? And your friend?" I ask as I turn to face her, she stops and looks at me cooly.

"Sure, thank you." She says as I walk with her to the bar, I suddenly forget about my shirt and I lean casually on the bar. I can't help but smile to myself.
