i missed you more than i thought i would

"hey babe, mind if i go out with my girlfriends tonight? ashley invited joey, nick, melanie and i to that new club that opened up not too long ago. i don't want to go if it's going to be a problem, cause we can always sit here and watch ne-"

eleanor, louis' girlfriend, rambled. louis honestly couldn't care less. if she wanted to leave for the whole night, he'd be fine with that. it's not that he doesn't love her, because he really does. it's just that, she doesn't have the most beautiful set of curls upon her head. she doesn't smell of deep, relaxing cologne. she doesn't speak low, nor slow. she doesn't have that sweet, thick, heavy cheshire accent. she doesn't have so many meaningful tattoos painted across her body. she doesn't have the deepest, cutest dimples in her smile. she doesn't have the patience, or the ability to understand louis'  random outbursts of anger. and, she doesn't love louis like he did.

harry loved every single thing about louis. even the sound of his name. louis. it just made the biggest smile appear on his face. hearing louis' name brings harry back to all the amazing times they used to have together. before they broke up. louis doesn't like to think about that very much. he regrets how stupid he was for ever dumping harry.

"just go love. s'not a problem at all. i was probably going to be up all night working on the album with the other boys." louis interrupted, the lie seeping through his happy tone. he actually planned on going to sleep as soon as possible so his mind would stop thinking about a certain curly headed boy.

harry ran, even though he was told not to. i loved that about him though. whenever it truly mattered, he would listen to people, but when it didn't really matter, he never listened to anyone. like now, for instance. harry ran towards me, the lifeguard yelling at him to stop running, but of course, that didn't stop him.

finally, harry reached my chair, his soaked body dripping water. i watched as he used three fingers to brush his wet hair out of his face. a small chuckle left my lips as i watched him grin at me, all the while, looking confused and concerned. my eyes raked up and down his body, like they do every time i see him.

yet, this time, i can't help but admire the way those red swim trunks fit him. and the way his beautiful eyes glow brightly, sparkling at me mysteriously. and the most famous, most amazing, dimpled smile that is just so wide, so happy, so free. and of course, those curls of his. they are wet, and not so curly anymore. but I always find his hair attractive no matter what. everything about him, makes my head spin.

"what's up love? you could've gotten yourself kicked out for running." i say to him. then, i didn't think it could, but his captivating smile grew even larger.

"you looked like you were thinking, so i wanted to come over and- and see what you were thinking about." harry says to me, still out of breath a bit.

"was just thinking about a certain curly haired boy is all. you know, he's super cute and dorky. in fact, i was thinking about asking him to be my boyfriend. think he'll say yes?" i play at him, obviously thinking he'd get the hint. well, it's harry, so i mean, why'd i even get my hopes up.

"yeah, anyone would say yes to you lou. uh, i'm just gonna go hang out with zayn and niall again, i h-"

"bloody hell harry, yes or no? will you go out with me?" i ask him this time, seeing he was clearly upset. harry truly thought i was planning on asking out another bloke. see, harry and i have had this 'thing' going on lately, but nobody's ever done anything about it. so, finally, i took the initiative of asking him out.

the second i said that, his green eyes became a deep, more intense color, as tears pooled inside them. the soft, lovely smile reappeared on his face as the tears began to fall from his eyes. i chuckled lightly as i rose from my chair to kiss him. there was no time for him to do anything, and just like that, the whole world stopped. it was only harry and i in this scary world, alone. nobody was with us, and i loved it. the world stopped turning. the clocks stopped ticking. i stopped breathing. the kiss sent chills up and down every part of my body, and i felt sparks fly and suddenly, i felt weightless.
