Summer Sky | L.T.

When my dad asked me if my boyfriend was supporting me, I knew about whom he was talking and I wondered why he had told my dad that he was my boyfriend. The way he was blushing when he realised that we were talking about him, was actually really cute. After I put down the phone I couldn't help but tease him a bit with this new information. "Thank you boyfriend." I said with a smirk on my face. He had the common sense to look a bit flushed.

"Yeah about that, Lucian was the one who told your dad, I was your boyfriend." He quickly explained and to be completely honest I half expected that. "It's okay and thank you for this." I hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He hugged me back tightly and that's how we kept sitting for at least a few minutes. "Sky I was wondering something, would you like to go out for dinner with me?" he asked me but I really did had to think about this because I still couldn't look past the fact that he had slept with Lindsey, at least that is what she told me.

"'Why don't you wanna eat dinner with me?" He knew the answer to that question; you could see it in his eyes. "I just can't stop thinking about what happened between you and Lindsey" I mumbled because I really didn't want to hurt him. Louis grabbed my face between his hand and made me look at him. The intensity that was coming from his blue eyes made me shiver but I wasn't feeling afraid or uncomfortable. "Nothing happened between Lindsey and me, yes we kissed but I hated every second of it and to be honest all I could think about was you. I would never in a million years have sex with someone like her." I know he was speaking the truth but how could you let go of a picture that was engraved into your brain. "I believe you, I just want to forget about it." I said softly. I just couldn't say no any longer because I did want to be with him.

"I know, let me make you forget and just go to dinner with me?" he was begging me with those bright blue eyes and I know I was hooked. I nodded which made him stand up and lifted me in his arms and spun me around, as if he had been waiting for me a really long time. "Can I get some time to go and change?" he nodded and left the house, leaving me with my thoughts and I can tell you this; they weren't good thoughts. I let myself fall on the bed and cried. I was getting really tired of crying so much. I thought I was stronger then this but apparently I am not. When I talked to my dad I could hear the rage in his voice even if he tried to cover it. This was also the reason why I didn't want to tell him because he would be worried and you never know what can happen and it's also not in my control. I can't stop him from killing Mike at the first sight and I also can't save anyone either.

This was just all my fault. If I never had gone to that party then everything was still alright and I didn't have to worry about this stuff the only upsetting part was that I probably didn't get to meet Louis and that was a shame. I sat up and swiped the tears away from my eyes. This really had to stop, I had to move past this even if it was for these few weeks that I had left here in France. I should be enjoying myself rather then spending it crying in my bedroom.
I got up and walked to my closet to find something to wear. Now I was happy that we bought this maxi dress with a wild print on it. I could wear my sandals under it and I felt like curling hair. I did my make-up and put on red lipstick. I needed to shake this off and enjoy my time with Louis.

"Sky, are you ready because we really need to leave!" Louis said whilst he stuck his head around the corner. His eyes got a bit bigger when he saw my outfit and it was followed by a soft smile. "You look stunning!" He made me blush but that was his day task. "Thank you, you don't look that bad yourself." We stared at each other for just a few second but I could feel the electricity sparkling between us. He turned around and began walking downstairs and I couldn't help but stare after him. "Stop staring Sky" I heard him say and if I wasn't a tomato already I was it now for sure. "I wasn't staring." I mumbled after him, which only made him laugh. I quickly grabbed my purse and followed him to his car. "Where are we going?" he only smiled but didn't day anything. After a few minutes I became a bit restless. "Is this going to be a long drive?" he nodded and kept his eyes on the road. "Sky it's a surprise. I promised you I would take your mind off, of everything and that's exactly what I'm doing right now, so please just trust me.' He put his hand on my knee and I reacted by opening a window, to get some fresh air.

Suddenly he stopped at the side of the highway and turned towards me. "I need to blindfold you for a second." No one has ever said to me and it made me choke on my own saliva. I immediately thought about '50 shades of grey' the book. "Uhm.. right, I'm not really down with that." He was looking at me with a confused expression on his face. "I'm not sure I want to know what you are thinking about Sky but I can promise you I wont do anything to you, while you are wearing a blindfold." I tried to stiffly a giggle but failed miserably. Of course he didn't mean to do that to me, me and my dirty mind. It was much too hot this evening, it made me think about things I should not be thinking about.

"Okay put it on." He chuckled low and grabbed the sleeping mask, which said. 'Fuck off' that made it only even more funny. "Really?!" he just smiled and nodded, whilst moving the mask over my eyes. "Is it weird that I don't feel uncomfortable wearing this?" the annoying thing was though that I couldn't see his reaction to me or the looks he threw my way. "I'm not sure Sky, maybe we should do this more often.' Yeah he wished, this wasn't something I was really enjoying. I hated not to be the one who was in control and the fact that he knows that, made it even worse but also better because he dared to go against me even if it was risky. It was also a good trust exercise. I was enjoying the music and I didn't realize that I was signing along to the music, when Louis turned off the radio, during one of my favourite songs. I stopped immediately but it was already to late. "You have a lovely voice." I know he was lying because I couldn't sing, I wasn't a bad singer but I surely wasn't a good one either.

"Ha-ha.. Funny Louis. Are we there yet?" I asked him because I was getting impatient. 'That's why I turned of the radio actually because we are here but you can't remove the blindfold just yet." I heard him get out of the car, he opened my door and helped me get out of it. He closed the door and put one of his hands on my lower back to direct me in the right direction. "This can go much easier if you just remove the blindfold." He was snickering by now and I couldn't help but smile at this whole situation. We stopped after walking for I think about 5 minutes.

"Alright, we're here." He said and I pulled of the blindfold and was stunned by what I was seeing. He really did go overboard for this. I was staring at a castle right in front of us, which bathed in light and there was even a red carpet spread out over the pavement. Who would have thought he was capable of being this romantic. I know he was waiting for a response on my side and there was only one way I could show him what I was feeling so I took a few steps so that I was standing right in front of him and kissed him. I put my hands behind his head and he put his hand on my waist whilst kissing me back. We split after a few seconds but we were breathing much havier than we did before.

"You like it?" he asked knowingly. I slapped him lightly on his arm and he put his arm around my shoulders as we walked towards the entrance of the castle. "Good evening Mr Tomlinson, please follow me." The waiter said. We followed him whilst he brought us to our table. We were in the middle of the courtyard. There was a little tree next to our table. In this tree were a lot of little lamp and on the table was a candle and that's all the light we had. Louis ordered for us in French. I do speak a little French but he was speaking so fast that I gave up. "This is pretty romantic Louis." I smiled at him "You deserved this and I just wanted to make you smile and I thought you would appreciate it, as you love history." I grabbed his left hand and squeezed it softly. 'I love it, it's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."

The waiter came back with our dinner and we ate it in silent. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence though. I couldn't help but look around and soaking up the beauty of this castle. You could tell it was old but most of it was still intact, which was incredible. "Sky, I uhm.. want to ask you something." I turned my attention back to him and when he got up and walked to my side of the table I was getting sweaty hands. Guys would only do this if they were asking someone to marry them and I wasn't nearly ready for that. I mean I just turned 18, way too young to get hitched if you ask me. "Do I need to stand up as well?" he shook his head and started to walk to the bar and when he came back he was holding a black box in his hand, it was too big for a ring, which made me feel better instantly. I took it from Louis and waited for him to actually ask me the question he wanted to ask. "I know you are going through a lot of stuff right now and this is maybe a bit too soon, as we don't know each other for that long but if I'm honest I can't really picture my life without you. You have helped me so much and along the way I developed feelings for you so would you please be my girlfriend?" You could tell he was nervous for my answer but he really shouldn't be.

"Well if we are being totally honest with each other, then I have to tell you that I really disliked you when we first met and if you had asked me then, I would have said no." I couldn't help but tease him a little bit so I stopped talking after my last word. His face fell "Oh so it's a no?" he said in a small voice. "It's a yes actually because I do have feeling for you and if it wasn't clear already by me giving you mouth to mouth while you were smudged under your own vomit, then I don't know what it." His mouth fell open with a pop and it was like the sun was shining for the first time on his face because he gave me such a beautiful and beaming smile that it instantly made me feel warm. 'Can I open this box now?' he gave me a nod and kept looking at me whilst I opened it.

It was a rose golden charm bracelet. It had my sign and a sunflower on it. It looked really beautiful. "I love it, thank you so much Louis." I stood up and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. 'I'm happy you like it. I also wanted to give you this, to remember me by." He gave me a little charm but I had no idea what it meant. "It's a sign for summer." He smiled softly at me as he attached it to my bracelet. "You really need to stop giving me stuff. I love you for it but I don't really need gifts." I smiled at him but he dismissed it."'I want to buy you stuff, so please don't worry about it."

After dinner we decided to take a stroll through the castle and I loved it. It really did make me feel like I took a time machine and travelled back into the Middle Ages. Louis was holding my hand the entire time and it made the butterflies in my stomach go mental. After a few minutes walking, I felt myself getting a bit sleepy and I couldn't hide the yawn. It made Louis chuckle. "Tired?' I just nodded as he steered me back to the car. 'Let's go home.' I just followed him and after one last glance at the beautiful castle behind me I stepped into the car. I don't know exactly when I had fallen asleep but Louis had to wake me up when we arrived back home. "Sky, love wake up, were home." I immediately opened my eyes and smiled at him. As I got out of the car I saw my aunt walking towards me. "Sky, thank god your home again. You have to call your father right now." I felt a panic rising up in my chest. I pulled my phone out of my purse and dialled my dad's number. Luckily for me he picked up immediately. "Dad, what's wrong?" I could hear that he was at the station and to my surprise I heard Mike in the background. "Is that her Mr. Evens, tell that whore she will pay for this." My heart skipped a beat when I heard him shout at my dad like that. "I'm sorry sweetheart, we got the bastard and we found evidence." He paused for a few seconds and I know he had seen the video of me. You could hear it in the silence between us. "Dad, I'm sorry."

"Don't ever apologize for what happened to you. If anything, I'm the one who is sorry because I should've known that there was something serious going on with you, with the change you went through." I shook my head, not that he could see it. "It's okay dad, I'm okay really. France is working for me I guess." He chuckled at that. "I know, Marie has been calling me with your progress. Sky, we do have to talk though when you get back." He was switching his moods rather quickly and thanks to my tiredness I found it hard to keep up. "I know dad." I said a bit sulky because the last thing I wanted to do was talk about it. "I'll let you sleep now. I love you sweetheart." I had to smile about this and to be completely honest I did miss him a lot. "I love you to dad." He had hung up and that's when I realized that I was shaking like crazy. Who could have thought the evening was going to end like this. I turned around to find Louis standing in my doorway. When he saw the way I was trembling he walked to me and pulled me gently onto my bed. He had laid me on my side so he could hug me tightly from behind. I enjoyed his warmth as he gently stroked my arm. I became a bit calmer and felt my eyes getting heavier.

"Sleep love."
