But you didn't have to cut me off

Coffee

Rachels P.O.V.

Meand Louis had decided to go for a walk after we were done playing Just Dance 4. "Do you wanna go back to that coffee shop?" he asked. I nodded. "Sounds good" I replied. We strolled to the coffe shop slowly without talking. The silence was comfortable.

When we got there I ordered a hot chocolate and a cupcake. Louis did the same. We were told to take a seat and I made my way to my favourite spot. Louis sat down across from me. He seemed deep in thought. "What's up Tomlinson?" I asked. He didn't seem to hear me. "Louis!" I waved a hand in front of his face. He blinked before blushing and looking down.

Louis P.O.V.

Whenen we got into the coffee shop Rachel ordered hot chocolate and a cupcake. I did the same and Rachel immediately headed to the table we sat in last time. As she sat down, she ran a hand through her hair. I bit my lip as I watched her. She was beautiful. I really liked her. But I wasn't sure where'd or not she liked me. I knew how difficult her last relationship had been, I didn't want to push her into anything.

"Louis!" I was pulled out of my daze by her hand waving in front of me. I blinked and looked down, feeling my cheeks burn. "What's going on?" she asked gently. Her expression was soft and curious. I shook my head. "Nothing" I replied. She rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm an idiot?" she asked. "Well-" I began but she cut me off. "Shut up!" she giggled. I laughed too as our order was brought to the table. "We're good right?" she asked, frowning now. "What?" I asked confused. "Are you mad at me?" she asked again, her voice getting quiet. I felt my jaw drop and without thinking reached my hands across the table to grab hers. "Of course not!" I replied gently. Her eyes met mine. Hey were really gorgeous. They were green with a brown rim around her pupil. So they looked brown unless you were really close. She blushed and nodded. "Ok.." she replied gently.

We started on our hot chocolate then and ended up talking about the randomest of things. I found it amazing how easy it was to talk to her. She got me. It was hard not telling her how I felt though.
