CLAIRE'S POV
I leaned against the door and just breathed. I cannot believe I just did that, and not only did I kiss him, I enjoyed it. Calm down Claire, you only did it because you weren't thinking and you were tired of Lyn's shit. That's all.
Oh who am I kidding, I loved that kiss. Louis knew how to kiss, and his lips felt like they belonged on mine. I might just be going crazy, or maybe I'm still a little high from last night's punishment.
Punishment.
I just kissed a criminal, and I didn't stop myself after two seconds. I almost face palmed, if I keep this behavior up then I'm not better then Lyn. I called her a slut and other things because she had feelings for Liam, and did a few things with him. Now here I am, kissing Louis and giving him my fucking gum.
Maybe I just need to relax, maybe just sit in the jacuzzi that this place has. The only problem is, Louis would never trust me to go by myself, not after what I pulled yesterday.
It's still hard for me to believe that I've been running all over the place with these two most wanted men in the United States, for almost a month. I mean, after at least a week, Lyn fell right into Liam's arms.
Lyn. I miss my bestfriend. I felt alone now, before if we didn't fight, then we would be talking right now, and I probably wouldn't have kissed Louis.
A knock on my door broke me out of my thoughts. I moved away from the door, I prayed it wasn't Louis, and I opened it. Surprisingly, it wasn't Louis, in fact, it was Liam.
"Liam? What are you doing here?" Liam and I have never really talked, we both just kind of ignore eachother I guess you could say.
Liam invited himself into the room and walked past me, then stood with his arms crossed. "We need to talk."
I shut the door and faced him, "About?"
"Two things. Louis and Lyn." I almost laughed, everyone's name started with L except mine.
"Uhm, okay, but why?" I sat on the edge of bed while Liam sat on the random chair by the window.
Liam looked out the hotel window, and shut the curtains. "Well first, I need help with Lyn. I know you two aren't on best of term, but I really like her, I just don't know how to show it."
This caught me off guard, Liam asking me for advice about a girl? Who knew that one of these two tough guys had a heart, and a soft spot for a girl.
"Well I didn't know Lyn meant so much to you," I started, "What do you need help with?"
He shrugged as if he was embarrassed to ask for help. "Look I know I'm not the romantic type, I've had like one girlfriend and I was 16. But I like Lyn, a lot and I want to make it serious."
"Okay well Lyn loves romance. So flowers, and small letters every now and then. Maybe just surprise her with little stuff and show her how much you appreciate her." I shrugged, honestly I didn't know what to say.
"What do you mean by surprise her with little stuff?" He questioned.
"Like make her a meal, or give her a kiss when she least expects it. Little stuff like that makes her happy." It almost made me sad to talk about Lyn, expecially since I remember everything she liked.
Liam took notice of my sudden mood change, "You two should talk. I mean as fun as it to watch you two argue, she cries herself to sleep because she misses you."
"Woah wait, she's the one who totally betrayed me. I literally murdered someone for her, and she wasn't even thankful." I crossed my arms and avoided eye contact with Liam.
He just sighed, "Okay, well anyway, what the hell was that like ten minutes ago?"
"What was what?" I was acting stupid on purpose.
"You know what."
"I kissed Louis, so what?" I acted like it was no big deal when it was completely opposite.
Liam rubbed his temple, "Exaclty, you kissed Louis, but for like a minute. If I didn't say anything, how long would that have gone on for?"
"I dunno, why are you asking?"
"No reason," He cleared his throat, "I'm gonna go. But seriously, talk to a Lyn."
"Maybe." I mumbled, but I knew I would eventually.
Three days, we've been here for three days. It's been two days since I've kissed Louis, and we haven't spoken one word. I don't know if I like that or not, but it's more awkward then anything.
No one was currently doing anything, well Louis and Liam were planning everything. Lyn was in her room, and I was sitting on the floor next to the window.
I decided that I would finally talk to her. The other day when I talked to Liam, he seemed like he knew something I didn't. I'm curious to find out what it could possibly be, and see if I can clear things up with Lyn.
I stood up and made eye contact with Liam. He gave me a small smile, he knew what was going to happen. I also made eye contact with Louis, but he moved his eyes. I frowned, but continued to walk over to Lyn's room.
There was small footsteps that could be heard on the other side of the door. I finally knocked lightly, and she opened it.
"Hey Lia- oh, hi." Her voice was cold but it sounded hurt at the same time.
I gavee an awkward wave, "I think we need to talk. Is that okay?"
Lyn nodded and stepped aside to invite me into her and Liam's hotel room. It looked the exact same as Louis and I's. I sat down near the fireplace while Lyn sat on her bed.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?" She asked.
I pursed my lips, "Well, I want to know how this all started."
"We were both being immature and bratty." She muttered.
At least she said 'both', "Okay. Uhm I want to say sorry for everything, I didn't mean any of it."
Lyn glanced at me, and shrugged, "I guess same."
Come on Lyn, I'm trying here. "Lyn why do you hate me all of a sudden? We were in good terms and then one day you took their side. Did I do something wrong?"
"Actually I was acting then. I was thinking if I pretended to like Liam, then I would escape easier. Then I ended up liking him for real, but he doesn't like me so I don't know why I bother." She mumbled the last phrase.
I laughed a little, "Lyn he likes you. He literally asked for my help so he could make things more serious with you two."
"Wait what?" She was making eye contact with me now, "When was this?"
"About two days ago. Lyn he totally likes you, he just doesn't know how to act around girls." The tension felt like it was slowly leaving.
Lyn smiled and laughed, "I can't believe this. For once, I might be able to have a boyfriend."
I almost blurted out that he was a criminal, but Lyn was almost a criminal so I kept my mouth shut. We both sat there in awkward silence for about two minutes.
"So you and Louis, huh?" Lyn said, breaking the silence.
"What about us?"
"Oh come, Claire. He totally has a thing for you."
I shook my head, "No we both lowkey hate eachother."
"Bullshit," She stood up from the bed and walked over to where I was sitting and sat in front of me, "You should see how he looks at you when your back is turned."
I raised an eyebrow, "How does he look at me?"
"Claire, when you kissed him, he was smiling the whole time. It might have not meant anything to you, I don't know, but it probably meant the world to him."
I leaned against the door and just breathed. I cannot believe I just did that, and not only did I kiss him, I enjoyed it. Calm down Claire, you only did it because you weren't thinking and you were tired of Lyn's shit. That's all.
