-Chelsea-
Louis has taken me out every night this week. Every time it's different. I tell him all the time that he doesn't have to take me out, that I'm just fine with staying on campus with him. But he insists on taking me places. i told him that after this week, i wont allow him to take me anywhere. We will see how that goes over. Last night he took me paint-balling...something I would be ok with never doing again. I have many bruises to remind me. But I still had a great time. The night was full of smiles and laughter. He makes everything enjoyable-something I've always admired about him.
"So you just lay in the yard and look at the sky?" Monica asked as she cupped her chin into her hand
"Yes" I replied "that's what star gazing is" I smiled, crouching down to roll up my sleeping bag that I had messily thrown into my closet.
"It sounds boring" she replied, tossing Bagels bone, watching him retrieve it
"I think it will be fun." I wrapped the elastic band around the mesh material. Standing up and placing my hands on my hips as I finished
"You're only going because Louis invited you" Monica smirked "you would never do this otherwise"
I rolled my eyes, tossing my sleeping bag onto my bed
"Don't you roll your eyes at me. You know it's true. But whatever. I'm just glad you guys are finally official."
I smiled, giving her a slight nod.
"Pack the beanie he gave you" Monica said, her face brightening.
"..why?" I furrowed my brow
"Cause it would be cute. That's why" Monica strides over to my desk and snatched the beanie from its resting place, tossing it into my bag
"Louis talks about you all the time you know" Monica said in a quieter tone
"To you?" I raised an eyebrow
"No" she cracked a smile "to Derek."
-Louis-
"Do you think she likes chocolate chip cookies?" I ask Derek as I finish packing a box of snacks for Chelsea and I
"I can't imagine she doesn't." He shrugged
I tossed some pretzels and grapes into the box and snapped the lid shut.
"She told me that I wasn't aloud to take her anywhere off campus anymore for dates" I turned to Derek "why do you think that is"
"Dude, you've taken her out every night for what" he looked to the ceiling. "Twelve days in a row now?" He gave me a look "She doesn't care if you take her out somewhere. She just wants to spend time with you"
"Since when did you know so much about the female species?"
"Ever since I started dating Monica" he smirked
"I see. Well I'm going to go get Chelsea"
"Ok. If you see Monica, tell her I'm in here"
"Alright"
I grabbed all my belongings and made my way to Chelsea's room. Soon after I knocked on the door, feet were shuffling, and Chelsea's smiling face appeared in the doorway
"Hey babe" I said, propping the door open with my foot as she grabbed her things
"Hi" she replied, picking up her sleeping bag and pillow
" Derek's in our room" I directed to Monica, who quickly stood up
"Thanks. You guys have fun" she exited with a wave. The sound of Her flip flops echoed throughout the hall as she walked to the stairway
"I'm ready" Chelsea stated
I led her to the meeting place outside. The sky was already dark.
"The stars are beautiful" she said, her
face pointing towards the bleak sky
"So are your eyes" I said, letting a smirk appear across my face as Chelsea smiled
"Stop it" she playfully hit my arm before setting her stuff down
---
"That one is my favorite" Chelsea pointed to the sky, adjusting her head into the crook of my neck as we laid in the grass, admiring the heavenly display if stars
"That's Capricorn." I utter
I felt Chelsea fidget slightly
"You ok?" I asked
"None of these people have said a word this whole time" Chelsea said in a hushed tone.
"I told you. These people are kind of strange. That's why I never go to these things" I laughed under my breath
The place was silent. You could hear the sound of crickets.
"Are you warm enough?" I lifted my head slightly to the side to look at Chelsea
"Yeah, I'm good"
"No" I shook my head "wrong answer"
Her face crinkled into an confused expression
"You're supposed to say 'no, I'm cold. Brrr'" I said, trying to imitate a girly sounding voice "and then I give you my jacket, and scoot closer to you, making you warmer"
Chelsea raised an eyebrow "you're so weird" she began to laugh
"Sure. I'm the weird one" I let the sly smile stay upon my face
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chelsea sat up and folded her arms across her chest
"I'm kidding" I grabbed her arm, tugging her back down next to me. Keeping my arm under her neck as she laid back down
"Watch it British Boy" she said through a smirk
-Chelsea-
"This is pretty romantic you know" Louis gaze stayed upon the stars
"And how is that?" I asked. Louis gripped my free hand in his
"How is it not? I mean, a sky full of stars...a pretty girl laying next to me while we star gaze. Now tell me that's not romantic"
My face began to hurt from smiling. His comments always made me smile internally, as well as externally.
"Okay, it's pretty romantic" I rolled over on my side, facing Louis. I studied his face, taking in every beautiful feature
"What are you doing?" Louis smiled
"Nothing" I said quietly
"No. You're doing something" He smirked
I mirrored his facial expression before sitting up and grabbing my bag
"Hey I didn't say I wanted you to stop" he laughed, sitting up as well
I stayed silent, unzipping my bag. I quickly took Louis beanie from my bag and placed it on my head
I turned around, facing Louis. His features took on a soft expression. His smile genuine, his eyes bright.
"Come here" he said, tugging me towards him.
I sat directly in front of him, copying Louis in sitting Indian style.
He kept his smile as he fixed my beanie, and pushed some of my hair out of my face.
"You look great in my beanie you know" he said softly
My cheeks began to heat. I looked at the grass, beginning to rip some from the ground
Louis lightly placed his fingertips on my chin, lifting my face to see his
His hand was slightly shaking. His eyes looked worried.
He began to lean his face closer to mine, pulling my face with his slightly shaking hand. My heart began racing, knowing that I was about to kiss Louis-
"Time for s'mores!!" A tall boy yelled into our ear
We broke from our almost kiss. Louis rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Well this is awkward...
"Well. I guess it's time for s'mores" Louis smiled, taking my hand as we stood up.
-Louis-
"That's good" Chelsea said, approving the marshmallow I just roasted for her
"See, I told I was good at this. Perfectly golden brown" I winked at her, grabbing the supplies for s'mores
I placed her marshmallow and chocolate on the graham cracker. The chocolate began to melt, running all over my fingers
"You're making a mess" Chelsea laughed, taking the s'more
"It's your fault. It's your s'more" I laughed back, staring at my chocolate fingers
"You might want to wipe that off" she smirked
"Yeah, you're right"
I quickly took my messy fingers and smeared it on her chin
"Louis Tomlinson!" Chelsea gasped, obviously shocked. She then gave me a look as she began to laugh "you are so ridiculous" she shook her head
"This I know" I smiled at her reaction, grabbing a wet wipe to clean Chelsea's face off. I scooted closer and lightly directed Chelsea's face to mine. Our eyes were close like they were moments before. When I had finally worked up the nerve to do what I have been wanting to do forever. Chelsea smiled as I softly wiped he chin clean of the gooey mess.
"There" I smiled
"Thanks she said, taking a bite of the s'more I had prepared for her "I must say" she chewed "you make a delicious s'more"
"Well of course" I winked
"Have any other hidden talents I should know about?"
"Yeah, but you can tell anyone" I whispered
Chelsea gave me a look
"I'm secretly.." I looked around me to make sure no one was listening before I continued "I'm secretly...a power ranger"
"Oh shut up" Chelsea rolled her eyes, covering her mouth as she laughed "I thought you were going to tell me something serious"
"That was serious. Being a power ranger is very serious"
"Mhhhm"
"You're cute" I lightly shoved her
"Stop" she gave me a look
"Make me" I said in a girls voice
"Something is very wrong with you" she laughed
"I don't believe there is"
"There definitely Is Louis. But I love you anyway"
-Chelsea-
How did I let that just escape my mouth
I quickly stopped myself. Shutting my mouth at record speed
"Did you say you love me?" Louis asked softly
"I-I didn't mean to" I shook my head
"So you don't love me?"
" No" I said nervously "of course not. I mean, we've only been dating for a couple of weeks. It would be weird for me to love you, right?"
Why am I so stupid. My heart began racing once again
"Oh-yeah. Right. That would be weird" Louis said, his voice changing tone
"Yeah" I nodded, pushing my feelings down my throat, thinking that if I push them down far enough, they won't come back up
"So these s'mores" I said awkwardly
"Yeah" he uttered "these s'mores"
