I loved being in his arms. He was always so warm and welcoming towards me that it made me miss him even more when he was away. When he was here it was just like before, he was after all one of my bestest of friends. I had known him for about two years now, we met during one of his concerts. I was there with my current boyfriend Josh Devine, when I met Louis and his bandmates. At the time Lou had a girlfriend too, Eleanor Calder. He and I started talking and actually hit it off right away. I wasn't the goofy type, but some how we worked. We exchanged numbers and started talking a little bit. We became really close friends.

When Josh and I had been together for about six months we both decided to go our separate ways. We felt that there wasn't any romance left, and I felt that I couldn't lead him on when I was falling for another boy. Of course I didn't tell him that, but it was still very much true.

So here we are, two years into the friendship. Louis and I were tighter than a athletes ass and we talked about everything. His bandmates took me in quickly, always teasing me because I worked at YouTube. They didn't think that what I was doing was a real job.

Today I had work, so I got up early to get ready. When I was just about to walk out the door someone knocked on it, leaving me extremely confused. I put on my sneakers quickly before waltzing over to the door and pulling it open slowly. When my eyes fell on the person before me my mouth dropped open and I stopped breathing. This reaction only lasted for two seconds before I screamed loudly and jumped the person in front of me.

"Lou! You weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow!" I squealed and squeezed him so tight that he groaned in discomfort.

"I know. But things got cut short." He leaned back to look at me and he had the cutest smile on his face. "I wanted to see my best friend." He shrugged like his words were nothing but I smiled and hugged him again.

"But I have work today." I pouted as I stepped back into my apartment to fetch my bag and keys. He back away a little so I could close and lock my door.

"I thought I would join you." His voice was very enthusiastic and it made me smile even bigger.

"Oh okay." I hesitated only a second before looking up at him and smiling. "I'm filming something today but maybe you can help." I began walking towards the elevator and was glad that the doors opened right away. I pressed the button after Louis joined me and we rode down to the garage. We quickly got into the car, since I at this point were running late to work. I drove us to the YouTube headquarters and before anyone could notice us we rushed inside. I headed towards my desk as we got to the fifth floor and noticed a little post-it on it. 'Meet me in the kitchen when you come' signed with an M. I smiled a little to myself, Marcus was a guy I had been screwing for some time. I wasn't in love with him or anything but it was nice to relieve steam from time to time.

"Louis?" Lou looked up from my desk chair and smiled at me.

"Yeah?"

"I'm just gonna go get some coffee for us. Wait here will you?" He nodded and leaned back in the chair, looking very comfortable. I walked away from him, feeling a little guilty but shook it off right away. When I walked into the kitchen I saw Marcus sitting at one of the tables, drinking something out of a cup. When he looked up and saw me I saw something in his eyes I've never seen before. He looked mad.

"Hi Marcus." I smiled and took a step towards him but he put him hand up to stop me. He looked down at the flor and I saw his jaw tighten.

"Who's that with you?" His voice was harsh and his entire body oozed irritation.

"That's Louis. I told you about him." I felt very uneasy.

"Oh yeah. The guy in that boy band." His sounded like he despised Lou even though he never met him. "Why did you bring him here?" I took a deep breath and looked at him weird.

"He showed up at my place this morning and I told him to come with me to work." I shrugged and leaned against the counter.
"You did it just to screw with me right?"

"What? No I didn't. I didn't think you would care Marr." His head snapped up and he looked at me with a death glare.

"Don't you fucking call me that." He stood up and walked over to me, trapping me between him and the counter. I felt my heart speed up and fear filled me. "You fucking cunt. Sleeping around with everything that moves. I thought we had something special." As he spoke those last words, his hands caressed my arms and up my shoulders. They stopped on my neck and began to squeeze tighter and tighter. Feeling the air leaving my lungs I scream at the top of my voice and Marcus squeezed tighter. I felt darkness coming closer when suddenly Marcus body were ripped away from mine. I fell to the ground, gasping for air. A pair of arms started pulling me towards someone and I panicked. I pushed the person away from me when I heard Louis' voice.
"It's okay love. It's me." I looked at him through tearing eyes and hugged him closer to me.

"Lou, he... He... I couldn't breathe Lou." He kept on whispering calming words as a police officer along with a coworker walked into the kitchen.

"It will all be okay." He was stroking my hair and I felt so safe in his arms.

-----At home-----

"Do you want Chinese or pizza?" Louis walked into the living room from the kitchen with two take out menus in his hand. I thought about it for a few seconds before I decided on pizza. He called and ordered, and they said they would be here within the hour. They had a lot to do today. When he hung up he turned to me with a nervous smile on his beautiful lips.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, while looking at him with a worries expression. He just smiled and took my hands.

"You know how I broke up with El about six months after we started talking?" I looked at him with vary eyes and nodded slowly.

"Yeah...?" He swallowed back and took a deep breath before speaking.

"I broke up with her because I was falling for someone else." I swallowed hard and tried not to get my hopes up. I wasn't the only one he was talking to at the time.

"I didn't know that." I looked down at my own hands, I just couldn't stand to look him in the eye.

"Josh told me he thought you broke up with him for the same reason. Because you had feeling for another guy." I bit my bottom lip and avoided his accusation. I couldn't believe Josh had realized that. I hoped sincerely that he wasn't mad at me. "Darling?" I looked up at him and smiled.

"I didn't give him enough credit, did I?" Louis smiled and shook his head a little before having the same nervous expression as before.

"Who was it?" He asked the one question I didn't want him to ask. I looked at him with helpless eyes and practically begged him.
"Louis. It's... It's not that simple." I diverted my gaze from his and looked at my hands.

"Was it me?" Somehow his tone sounded desperate. I didn't know why, and I didn't understand it. I took a deep breath and shook my head slowly.

"I so desperately want to say no to that Lou." He stayed quiet and I refused to look up at him. "I want to tell you that I'm not waiting for you to realize all the love I can give you. And what I want to tell you the most is that it didn't break my heart when you left for tour." I dared to look up at him and he was staring at me with wonder. "It hurts when you're away. Even though I don't want to tell you that either." I smiled a little and he responded by doing the same. He stared at me for a long time, making me regret what I had just said. All of a sudden Lou steps forward and grabs me in a tight hug. It took me by surprise but I hug him back and draw in his scent. Too soon he leaned back and looked at me with almost teary eyes.

"You were my reason too love." He pressed his lips to mine in a loving and gentle kiss. When he leaned back I slapped him hard on his arm and looked at him with a stern stare.

"You mean you've been in love with me for one and a half years now, and you tell me now?" I was a little upset that he waited so long to let me know. But I was so happy now that he did.

"I wasn't sure you felt the same." He shrugged and smiled a little cheeky smile.

"Gosh, you're such a wanker. Of course I do." This time when he pressed his lips against mine there was nothing gentle about it. In this kiss, all the lost passion and longing was put. We had craved for each other for such a long time, and now it was our time to do it. Yeah. We were gonna have sex.
