Summer Sky | L.T.

"Excuse me?" I asked flabbergasted. Did he really think I worked here shit? I tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm. "Where are you going, the stage is that way missy." I tried to pull my arm out of his grasp but it was no use and he actually pulled me towards the stage. "Well go on, they don't have all the time in the world. I looked at the crowd and wasn't surprised to see that it were mostly young lads.

"I'm not.." I tried to explain but he just cut me off. "Yeah, yeah just go on." He really pushed me on the stage and there was I on a stage were I had never pictured myself. I just stood there not knowing what to do, as the (I think) manager was keeping me from leaving the stage. I looked out over the crowd and saw Louis in the corner with some guy, who must be that damn drugs dealer. "Take something of girl." Someone was shouting. I looked at the things I was wearing and I know I should have put on more clothes. I was only wearing my black bikini and there was no way I was pulling something off.

I started to walk back. "He slut do you god damn work." That triggered something in me and before I knew what I was doing I had already jumped of the stage and hit the guy in the face. He was to drunk to hit me back so whilst he tried to hit me he fell hard.

This was my moment, so I bolted without giving Louis a second thought. I didn't stop running till I was back at our spot. I sat down to catch my breath and just waited for Louis to return. I had never hit someone in the face and to my utter surprise it actually felt good, not that it's okay to hit someone but it was his own fault as he was calling me a slut. "Sorry that it took so long, there was huge line." I turned around to see Louis walking back to his towel. I narrowed my eyes because he was straight up lying to me.

"You know I thought we were doing really well but then you go and lie to me." I said whilst getting up. I was already putting my stuff back in my bag. "What are you on about Sky?" Was he really that stupid? "I know you weren't in line for the toilet, you were in that strip club buying drugs from one shady looking dude." He paled when I said that and he actually looked really ashamed of himself. "How do you know?" he asked timidly "Because I followed you inside that club but a manager there thought I was one of the strippers so he forced me on the stage and that's when I saw you."

"He did what?! Are you okay?" that's one way of changing the subject. "I'm fine but you are not, how could you already buy drugs, after you just promised me you would try, how can you try and heal me if you yourself are far from it." I know I wasn't fair right now but he did promise. The sun was getting a bit lower and even if we had fun today I just wanted to go home. "You know just forget about it, thanks for a lovely day but this is not a good idea." I got up and started to walk towards town. I know my Aunt must still be at the café so I could probably get a ride home with her. I didn't look back once and I sure as hell didn't expect him to follow me until he spinned me around.

"You can't give up on me Sky, I know it was stupid to buy that stuff but I just didn't want to look like a loser to you and I know you saw my hands shake. It will get worse, this is just one day without drugs but tomorrow it will get worse. I'm an addict and I'm trying to get clean which means the side effect will happen and I need someone like you to help me through it." What did he mean by that, why would someone need me, I'm also messed up. In a different way but still, I'm messed up. "Why would you need me Louis, I'm just as messed up."
"You are not messed up, you are just in some sort of pain and you need to heal. You need someone who can heal you."

"You think you are that person who's going to heal me?" He must be joking, as he couldn't even help himself. He took a few steps to me and I had to fight the urge to take a few steps back from him. Normally I wouldn't think twice with taking a few steps back but something in him made me stand still. He was now right in front of me and I stared right at his chest.

Suddenly he put his hand gently under my chin and lifted my face so I would look him in the eyes. "I think I can but you have to let me in even if that's hard for you." He smiled softly at me. We kept staring at each other when his face slightly moved closer. I couldn't let him kiss me right? What if he thinks I'm a whore just like Mike.

I moved my head quickly to the side so his lips came down on my cheek. I know I shouldn't let Mike into my head but here I am giving Mike the control he wants even though he is on the other side of the world. I really wanted to kiss Louis but thanks to Mike I couldn't. I wasn't ready for anything like that, I know I must have disappointed Louis but this was for the best right now.

"Sky look at me please?" I was looking at the ground when he said that so I lifted my face en that's when he stroked my cheek gently. "It's okay, it's too soon and Sky, I want you to know that I threw away the drugs while I was following you here." I smiled at that. I was feeling a bit proud of him for doing that, so maybe he deserved a second chance. I looked up at him and smiled followed by loud growl from my stomach. He chuckled at that. "I'm guessing your hungry, let's grab some dinner shall we?" He held out his hand and without any hesitating I grabbed it.

He took me to a fish restaurant and normally I wasn't the biggest fan of fish food but this was actually really great. Louis had ordered wine for us, I never had wine so I just went along with whatever he wanted. He ordered red wine as that tasted the best with fish, I didn't complain because he was right. "All right so what are your hobbies?" was he really asking me these basic questions, god that was really cheesy.

"Uhm let's see I love taking pictures and I love reading, what about you?" he smiled as if he expected those answers. "Before I started using drugs I was doing musicals, so I guess singing and I love playing footy."

"What in the world is footy?" I really didn't know but I had to guess it was a sport. He realised that I was being serious and started to laugh. "I'm sorry love I tend to forget you aren't from England. "I love to play football or soccer." He explained. I felt stupid though because I could've known that he meant that. "Do you play?" I asked him. His expression turned a bit sad "I use to play almost every day but then I messed things up with drugs, so you can safely say that I'm not playing any more." I grabbed his hand and gave it a little squeeze to show him I was sorry. "What is your favourite band?"

"Uhm, I love Singer/songwriters like Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran and George Ezra. Their music tends to calm me down." I smiled whilst eating my food.

"You look so wonderful in your dress
I love your hair like that
The way it falls on the side of your neck
Down your shoulders and back"

He sang this softly so that I was the only one who could hear him. He wasn't lying then about being in musicals. He sounded really good, it even made me stop eating so I could look at him. "I love that song from Ed Sheeran." He smiled. "You know at first I didn't believe you were in musicals but now I believe you, you are actually quite good Louis."

"Thank you, I will sign your bag after dinner." He got up and bowed in front of me, making me giggle. "Sit down you crazy nutter." His eyes went wide when I said that as that was British slang but to be honest I looked it up, he didn't have to know that though. "Are you talking slang to me Sky?" I pulled up my eyebrow and smirked at him. "You are, where did you learn to do that?" Never was he going to find out that secret.

"that's my secret. What do you say about dessert?" I asked him as I really wanted that chocolate mousse. "I think that's a brilliant idea." He signalled one of the waiters. "What can I get you?"

"This lady over here would like to have the chocolate mousse and I would love the sorbet." He took away our plates and walked over to the kitchen. "Are you having fun?" he asked me with a hint of uncertainty. "I am thank you!" he smiled, he did this a lot to be honest and I liked that. In the first three days he only frowned or looked annoyed at me but he wasn't like that anymore.

After dessert he paid the bill after a battle with me, as I wanted to pay. He wasn't having it though so he stole my credit card and put it in the pocket of his shorts, knowing I would never dare to go near his area. We got up and I was shocked to see it was already 11pm, where did the time go? I really had to go home, I stopped walking and Louis stopped as well but he was looking a bit confused. "What's wrong?" I showed him my phone so he could see the time and there was shock on his face. "Wow is that the time." We looked at each other and started to laugh, just to think we didn't like each other just a few days ago and now we forget the time. "Let's go home than shall we?" he asked, I nodded as we walked towards the car.

To think that I actually was feeling tired after a day like this. As much as I had enjoyed myself this day, I just couldn't wait to get in bed, we were both silent as he drove us home and I didn't mind that at all. He had put on some music and I was happy to find out it was normal music and nothing radical. He was humming along and I looked out of the window. I loved the night sky in the summer, it was just something different than a night sky in the winter probably because of the clouds.

I could feel his eyes on me during the drive home and it made me feel good. I didn't do the same though because that would be plain awkward so I kept my eyes steady on the window. When we arrived he got out first and opened the door for me. "Why thank you kind sir." I curtsied which made him chuckle. "It was my pleasure my fair lady." He bowed and that made me giggle and blush at the same time. "I love the way the moon shines on your face" Louis mumbled. My mouth fell open when he said that and I don't think he realised that he had said this out loud. "Shit I said that out loud didn't I?" he said whilst putting his hand in front of his face out of embarrassment.

"Jup you did." I got closer I put my hand over his hand and pushed it down so I could look him in the eyes. "I don't mind it though and I really want to thank you for today, it really took my mind off of everything." I kissed him on the cheek before I walked towards my house. I know I had shocked him with my move but I couldn't help myself. I just really wanted to do that.

"Good night Louis!" I said over my shoulder and found out he was still staring at me with his hand against his cheek, it was so sweet. When my words got through to him he waved.
"Good Night Sky and if I were you I would close my window unless you want me there!" he yelled after me and that made me smile. I was still shaking my head when I got inside, where I immediately got ambushed by Lucian. "All right spill, how was it?"

"It was all right I guess." I had to tease him a bit and his face was absolutely brilliant. "You are joking right, because you look like you just got out of a glow shower." I messed up his hair before walking up the stairs. "Lucian, I had the best time ever now can I go to bed please?" I really was tired and as much as I love my nephew he wasn't going to let me sleep at all if I didn't tell him I wanted to sleep.

"Of course but tomorrow I want to hear all the details of your hot date!" he almost stomped his foot on the ground. "God yes I promise now go away you crazy" he smiled and waved at me before he disappeared in his own room. I shook my head, crazy person. I did my ritual before I went to bed, which included a shower as I felt the sand everywhere. After my shower I brushed my hair and teeth. I put on some after sun just to be safe and that was about it. Normally I would moisturize but I really wasn't in the mood for that.

I walked towards the window and closed the curtains. I turned around with a smile on my face and jumped into my bed and closed my eyes, not thinking about the open window.
