Louis' P.O.V.
My eyes fluttered open to bright sunlight. I squinted and adjusted my eyesight so that I could actually see something. I looked around the room. Most importantly, I looked beside me.
Holy hell.
Olivia was on her stomach, her right arm draped over my chest. My bare chest. She was sleeping silently, almost a smile on her face. The thin sheet covering the two of us was barely over my waist and barely over hers. She had no clothes on. I had no clothes on.
I was laying in a bed naked with my best friend. Who was also naked.
Holy shit what the hell happened. I thought of what to do, my mind darting from one plan to the next. Do I wake her up? Do I just leave? Do I just pretend to be asleep until she wakes up and she decides what do to?
I ripped the sheet off of myself and slipped on my boxers and then my jeans. I grabbed my shirt which was crumpled on the floor. I fumbled with the buttons and finally pulled it around my back and slipped it on. I didn't even bother buttoning it up again. I slipped on my TOMS and reached for the door handle.
"Louis...?" I heard someone say. I turned slowly and saw Olivia. She was seated up, the sheet over her chest, rubbing her eyes. "What happened..." She said examining the room.
"Uh...we just kind of...wow this is awkward." I said removing my hand from the handle and rubbed the back of my head. I smoothed down my tangled and messy hair, not meeting eye contact.
"Holy shit...did we..." Olivia's mouth was dropped open wide. She was staring at me in complete disbelief. I coughed in the awkward situation. "Oh my God...you have to be kidding me..." She said to herself, looking around the completely trashed bedroom.
"Um...I think I'm going to go now." I said quickly, my hand returned to the handle. She looked up at me.
"Uh yeah I guess. Um you know where to go just show yourself out." She said still in shock.
"Okay well bye." I said rapidly. I disappeared out the door, shutting it behind me. Then I got the hell out of there.
I jumped down the staircase and sprinted to my car. I slid in and sped out of the complex. I headed to my flat across town where I live with my best friend--whose a guy this time--Harry. I ran up the stairs and into our room, passing Zayn who was walking down the hallway.
"Hey L--" I didn't bother to listen any more because I sprinted into my flat. I passed Harry on the couch who was watching some television.
"Louis?" He said as I ran passed him into my bedroom. I slammed the door behind me. I collapsed on my bed, the large comforter suffocating me since I was face-down.
Please tell me this was a dream. Please tell me last night did not happen. Please tell me I did not wake up naked in a bed with my best friend. Please don't tell me I just had sex with my best friend.
*****
Olivia's P.O.V.
I slammed my head back on my pillow as Louis darted from my room. I stared at the ceiling, refusing to blink. My heart was racing, my mind overwhelmed. My jaw quivered as I thought what this meant.
I am never touching a lick of alcohol ever again. I can't ever have the possibility of having SEX with someone, let alone my best friend! I quickly ran to my shower, washing away everything that had happened. I stepped out of the steamy shower and changed. I dried my hair quickly and threw on some makeup. I started down the street, I don't know where I was going to go but I just needed fresh air.
Everything in the past sixteen hours have been completely unreal. I catch the 'love of my life' with another woman and then I get drunk and sleep with my best friend. This happens to stupid people. I guess that really does make sense. I am stupid.
I suppose you're confused, so allow me to clarify things.
Chris and I weren't together long before we moved in together. I was in the love bubble and I was stupid. I was set up with Chris through a friend who knew a friend who knew Chris' cousin. So we were thrown into this blindly. Chris was handsome and sweet and (at the time) checked everything off my 'Perfect Guy' list. He was four years older but that didn't bother me.
We started dating and, as stated before, I was in the love bubble. I didn't understand my friends' wary glances. I didn't listen to Louis. At all. He even warned me that I should think about things. When I told him we were moving in together he lost it.
"You can't do that Olivia! You barely know him!" He yelled at me. It wasn't our first fight as friends, but it was the most heartbreaking. I didn't see Louis for two months because it was right then when he went to tour with his band, One Direction. We didn't talk that entire time...and I was fine with that. I was happy with Chris. Because to me, Chris was everything. He made me happy. He made me smile. He was everything to me.
When Louis returned from his tour we had lunch together. He kept telling me how wrong it was for me to move into him without knowing who he really was. He told me that I should take a step back and view things from his point of view, but I was too stubborn to give in. I suppose now he's right. Then again, Louis usually always is right.
The day before Chris called me saying he was caught up at 'work'. He's a fancy-shmancy accountant so I didn't think anything of it. It was the same night we had our quote-un-quote 'three month anniversary of living together'. I decided to surprise Chris at his work. Which turns out, was probably the stupidest yet somehow best decision I could have made.
I baked him a cake and I got dressed up. I slowly stood anxiously in the elevator, shaking with excitement. Once I reached his floor I stepped out and turned down his hallway. I opened the door leading to his business and found all the lights off. I brushed it off at the time, not knowing that I should have been cautious of the fact that no one else was here. I was proud of Chris because he was the head accountant there and he even had his own office.
I heard some commotion inside. Some, what I thought, yelling. I figured perhaps he was frustrated and fighting with himself. I don't really know what he does, he never wanted to explain it to me although I asked multiple times. I hesitantly twisted the doorknob.
I dropped the cake and stared at what I had opened the door to.
Chris was draped over some girl on his desk. They were both completely nude. I couldn't take my eyes off Chris. He finally met my eyes. I didn't give him time to explain because I ran from the room. I didn't cry though. I was too scared and shocked to cry. He dressed himself and got into my car. We had a heated discussion in the car. Talk about completely awkward. And then he followed me up to the room and got his things.
That's when I broke down and that's when Louis and I went out to the pub. That's when I got wasted and that's when we drunkenly had sex.
I started crying as I recalled everything that had happened. I slowly made my way back to my complex, slowly up the stairs, and slowly into my apartment. I tried to eat something but I couldn't. I tried to make everything seem fine, but in reality, nothing was fine. Nothing is fine anymore.
Nothing's fine I'm torn.
Natalie Imbruglia's song never related to me until now. I'm torn because I lost Chris, whom I thought I loved and then I've probably lost my best friend, Louis, now too. Louis will never talk to me now. Nothing will be the same between us. It was almost like I had sex with my brother...
However I haven't yet begun to admit to myself how I really felt. I know how I felt about the fact that I slept with Louis...but I haven't gone over how I felt that I slept with Louis. I finally allowed myself full mind control and I let the feelings come forth. Anger, humiliation, embarrassment, sadness, confusing, pain...they all swirled in my mind. But one stuck out to me. Good. I can't believe it but the sex with Louis was actually good. Breath-taking. Incredible.
Why am I feeling this way. About...Louis of all people.
Nothing's fine I'm torn.
