El, please, let's talk- Eleanor ignored this text.
Babe, we can make it work. I am so sorry.- Eleanor thought of many replies but didn't want to hurt anyone of them both anymore.
After ignoring multiple texts like these and numerous phone calls for a month, Louis had stopped for the past week. No texts, no calls- Eleanor was sure he gave up.
Isn't that what I wanted? Him giving up on us- she wondered as she wiped her last tear. She wanted to hold him and pour her heart out, but how would that be helpful if they were only meant to go down that circle again?
She sighed as she went ahead to wash herself up. She changed into her nighty and let her hair down from her bun. She brushed her hair as she checked if she had to do anything more before going to bed.
Her phone buzzed, her only expecting it to be Meghan or her mom. To her surprise, it was him. She felt a loud thud in her heart as she contemplated whether or not she should pick it up or not.
"Oh fuck it!" she hastily received the call but stayed silent, not knowing what to say. "Lou," she finally spoke, more like whispered.
"Hey Elly-jelly, open your door," he said and hung up. Eleanor stood there, unsure and completely confused when she heard a music play outside her door. She rushed to her door and flung it open.
There he stood, with a little music player on the side, music of her favourite song playing. The sight of her cracked a smile on his face. Her, on the other hand, heart did double backflips when she saw him at her doorstep. She almost pulled him in but he waved a hand at her, motioning her to wait. Then he started singing.
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away, for far too long, keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you; I'd withstand
All of Hell to hold your hand. I'd give it all; I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
'Cause you know, you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away, for far too long, keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
So far away, so far away
Been far away, for far too long
So far away, so far away
Been far away, for far too long.
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted, I'd wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you (That I love you)
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you (And I forgive you)
For being away, for far too long . So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go. Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go. Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
He finished and halfway through the song, she was in tears. She understood how he meant every word. They both knew how this song was just what happened between them. But there he was, singing it to her because he was away for far too long while he just wanted to be with her. He just wanted her to forgive her and come into his arms. And him being in love with her, that went without saying.
Eleanor leapt into his arms, biting her tears back. He held her tight as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He caressed her hair, "it's okay, babe. I'm here."
"I love you, Lou. I love you so much. I'm so sorry!" she confessed between tears.
"I love you too, so fucking much. And I am sorry for being such a dick. But please, never ignore me again," he begged as he kissed her cheek.
"Never again. Oh, I love you so much," she pulled away as she placed her lips on him. He delved into the kiss and it was clear how much they both missed it. It was a lot like their first few unlabeled kisses, back at the beginning of tour. The magic, the electricity, the sense of freshness. They felt like they could feel it forever. They knew, they would never get over each other, they would always have that sense of newness while being completely accustomed to the other.
"Let's go before my neighbours start coming out," she whispered.
"Yeah. Why didn't come out all this time? Who lives in this apartment anyways?"
"I think they didn't even notice. A young college going couple lives there," she informed him.
"Ohh, definitely were busy enough to notice," he smirked.
"Louis!" she jokingly slapped his chest as she held his hand to lead him into her place.
"Fine fine, let's get busy," he winked as he carried his music player along.
"You are unbelievable," she rolled her eyes.
"I know, unbelievably good," he proudly said as he turned around to close the door. He turned back around to find her incredibly close to him.
"Let's see who's more unbelievably good," she smirked as she pushed him on the door and violently kissed him.
They slightly broke off after a while to catch on their breathes. "You're fierce, Calder," he whispered, "and I love it," he slightly chuckled as he picked her up and placed her on his hips.
"'Course you do," she said with pride.
He pinned her on the nearest wall and left sloppy kisses all over her neck and shoulders. He slipped her nighty up and pulled her panties down.
"Lou, you're not wearing a condom," she whispered as he let her down.
"Oh don't worry love, I have a favour to return," he smirked as he got down on his knees.
"Now we're talking," she chimed in and leaned a little on the wall behind her as he left kisses up her legs. He didn't stop until he kissed the inside of her thigh and she bit back a moan.
He entered his tongue into her as his mouth encompassed it. She couldn't help but let the soft moan out of her lips. As much as he picked up speed, she got louder.
"Lou, I'm... gonna... in your... fuckin mouth!" she squeaked. But that didn't stop him from finishing what he started.
He tasted every bit of her as she banged her back multiple times on the wall behind.
"Oh Louis.... faster!" she demanded and to her pleasure, he listened to her. "Yes!" she moaned as he reached the end point. He performed the last bit of his wonders and she screamed out his name, "LOUIS!"
He released her as she slithered down, leaning on the wall, to the floor. He sat down next to her, his back also resting on the wall.
"Ya okay there babe?" he smirked.
"Hmm," she hummed, slightly disorientated, as she placed her head on his shoulder.
"I missed you," he smiled.
"I missed you, Lou, like a lot," she looked up at him.
"We'll get through this."
"We will," she nodded getting up. She took his hand and pulled him up.
"What?"
"Come on, I missed everything," she winked as she led him to her bedroom.
"I love you, Calder," he chuckled.
"I love you too, Tommo," she smiled as she pushed him on her bed, "you should be grateful."
"I am, and will always be."
