The Player's Game [Louis T. AU]

Chapter 29

-Chelsea-

My alarm sounded bright and early this Sunday morning. I groggily dragged myself out of bed, grabbing my shower caddy and making my way to the bathroom across the hall. I hopped inside one of the many showers. I stood  away from the water as it slowly warmed up. 

I let the steam of the hot water envelope me as I wash my hair. 

With a flick of my wrist, I turn the water off. I dry myself off before tightly wrapping myself in my robe and walking back to my room. 

--

I finish straightening my hair, then I slip on my baby blue quarter sleeve length dress. While putting on my white heels, I heard a faint knock on the door

"Who is it?" I ask, wondering who would be at my room at this time of day

"Louis" his distinct voice rang through my door

I smiled to myself before opening the door partway

"Louis who?" I grinned through the opening

"Louis-the man-of your- dreams. That's who" he grinned back as I let him inside

"What are you doing up this early on a Sunday?" I ask him as I slide in my earrings

"Going to church with you of course" he said matter-o-factly

"Oh" I said, happily surprised 

"If that's ok with you"

"Of course" I smiled, grabbing my purse "Lets go then"

--

We entered the church, Louis grabbing my hand as we got into the sanctuary.

This is how it should be. I can imagine us doing this every Sunday. Him and I hand in hand as we sit through the sermons.

I can't seem to get the smile off of my face. 

We sat down in a middle pew, Louis and my hands still laced together.

"You look nice" Louis says, putting his arm around my shoulder

I then realized that Louis was wearing dress pants and a dress shirt. I've only seen him in dressy attire once or twice. Though it does somewhat clash with his piercings, the clothes still look lovely on him

"Thanks" I finally reply "You do too"

--

The message closed and we made our way outside. Before we made it to Louis car, my pastor stopped us

"Chelsea" He said, hustling to us.

"Hi" I smiled brightly. Smiling seems to be an often occurrence  for me today

"I'm glad I caught you both before you left" he stopped as he placed a hand on Louis shoulder

"It was great seeing you again Louis. We've missed you"

Lou's looked surprised to hear him say that 

"Oh, well thank you" he said, obviously not sure how to respond

"We'd love to see you again real soon" My pastor shook his hand before sending me a wave "I'll let you guys get going. Again. It's nice to see you two"

We both got into the car. Louis hand immediately finding it's way into mine once again

"I'd like to make this a regular thing" he says, pulling out of the parking lot
