End Of The Day

I truly enjoyed spending time with Louis’ family. It was sad for both of us when they went back to London.
Now it’s a few days before the new year and a couple of Louis’ friends from England have come for a visit. Tonight we are meeting them at a club. I’ve never really been a club kind of girl, but I’ll give it a chance.
As I try to get dressed I feel hands on my bare waist, soft lips on my shoulder. Louis’ kisses move up to my neck, closing my eyes as he whispers in my ear. “We can be late, Love.”

We walk into the club, an hour and a half late. Louis’ friends spot us immediately. “Where the hell you been?”
Louis grins, looking at me, winking. “We were busy.”

The evening starts off fine, until Louis’ “mates” load him up with a ton of drinks. I’ve never seen him this drunk. More and more people are joining our little group, causing me to get pushed further away from Louis. Sad part is, he doesn’t even seem to notice.
I take a trip to the ladies room. When I return there are a flock of slutty club girls
surrounding Louis and his friends. No wonder his mates wanted him to come to the club so badly.
Taking a seat at the bar, I decide to wait it out, see how long till Louis notices I’m gone.

“Hey there, Beautiful. Can I buy you a drink?”
Wow, what a lame pick up line, I think to myself. Still looking at the bar, I say. “Does that lame line actually work?”
“Actually, it usually does.” He says.
As I look up, in front of me is this incredibly gorgeous guy. Dark hair, blue eyes, body like a freaking greek god. And a smile that will make you forget how to breathe. “I can see why.” I say, not realizing I did so out loud.
He laughs. “Hi. I’m Nathan.”
“Hi, I’m Lea.”
“Nice to meet you, Lea. And that wasn’t a line, you are very beautiful. How about that drink?”
“Thank you, Nathan. I’m here with someone though.”
Nathan looks confused. “You are? Where is he?”
I point in Louis’ direction. “He’s the one in the middle of all those girls over there.”
Nathan looks at Louis, then back to me. “Well, since he’s otherwise occupied, I think it would be fine for me to buy you a drink.” He winks.
“Thank you.”
Nathan and I have a drink and talk for awhile. He’s an actor/model. Of course he is, what else is there in LA? Actually, he’s quite sweet. And in a non creepy way, he makes it clear that he would happily take me home.
Looking at my watch, I realize it’s been an hour. Louis hasn’t even seemed to notice I’m not beside him.
I text Preston, asking him to please arrange for a car to take me home.
“Nathan, it was very nice to meet you. Thank you for the drink, I’m heading home now.”
“It was a pleasure to meet you, Lea. Please take my number, just in case.” He smiles.

I take the paper with his number, as he gives me a hug. Preston walks me out to the car. I look back once at Louis as we approach the door. My heart hurting…..he said he loved me.
