End Of The Day

After we finish eating, Louis and I talk about our childhoods. Learning a lot about each other from how we grew up.
“So when did you decide this is what you wanted to do with your life? Ask people questions.”
I laugh. “Well when I was little I used to interview my stuffed animals. So I guess I’ve known for a long time.”
“You picked the right career, Lea. You are so good at it. It’s what you were meant to do.”
“Thanks, Louis. I could say the same about you.”
Louis looks down. “I don’t know about that.”
I reach across the table, covering his hand with my own. “You have no idea how talented you truly are, do you?”
He looks up to meet my eyes.
“You have a beautiful, passionate voice, Louis. Please don’t ever forget that.”
The biggest smile comes across his face. “Thanks, Darling.”
“How about we go back to my place for some tea?”
Louis grins. “I’d like that.”

It doesn’t take long to get to my apartment. I set my purse and phone down on the table. “Make yourself comfortable, I’ll just get the tea started.”
As I make the tea I can see from the kitchen that Louis is looking around the apartment. Hopefully I didn’t leave anything embarrassing laying around.
When I enter the living room with the tea, I see Louis is holding my phone. “Here you go.” I say as I hand him the tea.
“Thank you.” Then turning my phone to face me. “Who’s Tom?”
Taking the phone, I assure him. “Tom is my best friend. He’s just letting me know he made it safely to London.”
“Best friend, aye?”
I smile. “Yes, just friends.”
“Are you sure he feels that way as well?”
I laugh. “Are you jealous, Louis?
He grins. “Honestly, maybe a little.”
“You have nothing to worry about.”
As we make our way to sit on the couch, Louis asks me. “So is Tom in London for holiday?”
“No he’s there for work.”
“Oh really? What does he do?”
I hesitate. “He’s a model.”
Louis sighs. “Great. Just great.”
I laugh, then settle back into the couch, getting comfortable. Louis removes his blazer then does the same.
“This is a nice flat you have here.”
“Thanks, it’s actually my roommate’s place.”
Louis looks surprised. “I’ve never heard you talk about a roommate?”
“That’s because she isn’t around much. She tends to stay with whatever guy she’s dating at the time.”
“So you get the place to yourself.”
“That’s the only way I can. Places are so expensive here in LA.”

Louis is looking into my eyes. The look of want in his eyes makes my heart race. He pushes my hair back from my face. I can’t help it, I bite my lip. Louis notices and takes the mug of tea from my hand, setting both of ours on the table.
Turning back to me, he puts his hand in my hair. “I’ve been wanting to do this since the moment I saw you.” He leans in. I feel his soft lips on mine. So sweet and gentle. I wrap my arms around his neck, having no idea how badly I wanted this, until this very moment. I’ve never felt anything quite like this before. Never have I wanted someone so badly.
Louis takes my bottom lip between his, pausing briefly to move to kiss my neck. When he returns to my mouth he takes my top lip between his. As he pulls back I tug at his bottom lip with my teeth, causing him to moan.
Just as I’m about to get that first sweet taste of Louis’ tongue, my front door flies open. Startling us both.
“Oh crap, Lea, I’m sorry.”
“Monica? Wow, I haven’t seen you in ages. Is everything ok?”
“Yes, I just need to talk to you. Later.”
She heads into her hardly ever used bedroom, as I turn back to Louis. “I’m so sorry. She hasn’t been here in months, I had no idea she’d come tonight.”
Louis smiles. “It’s alright, Love. It’s a shame she interrupted us though. That was quite nice, wasn’t it?”
I grin. “Very nice.”
Louis sighs. “I should probably go. How about you come by my place for breakfast tomorrow, before you head to work?”
We both stand. “I’d like that.”
I walk Louis to the door. He entwines his fingers with mine. Looking at our hands molded together so perfectly, then bringing them to his lips for a soft kiss. “I had a great time tonight, Lea.”
I smile. “Me too, Louis.”
“I’ll see you in the morning.” Louis says before leaving me with a perfect kiss.
