"Hayley! Haaaayleeeeeey!" I woke with a start. At first I was worried. Where was I? What happened? Then I remembered. Louis and I were at a beach, a very secluded beach, and I had fallen asleep.

"We have life!" He exclaimed. I giggled, moving myself up into a sitting position.

"I can't believe I fell asleep." I mumbled whilst rubbing my eyes. Luckily I had fallen asleep on a towel or my hands, and the rest of my body, would have been covered in sand.

"You're like an angel when you sleep." Louis whispered as he leant in to kiss me softly. I smiled. What more could a girl want?

The beach was beautiful, with soft white sand and crystal blue water. It felt like a dream and nothing was real, but of course it was. Proven; by the fact that I was continually pinching myself.

I eyed the water, itching to go jump in it. Louis had obviously noticed, because out of the corner of my eye I saw him smile an evil grin. The next thing I knew, he had me in his arms, gripping me tightly. He threw me over his shoulder in a very cliché way and I squealed with laughter, kicking my legs. I knew what he was about to do.

He reached the water, teasing me, and then waded out until we were deep enough for him to throw me off of his shoulders. I hit the water with a tremendous splash, squeals mixed in with laughter. I surfaced, glaring at Louis, watching him laugh his head off. I started giggling too and our giggles were mixing in and becoming infectious.

We played in the water for what seemed like hours, splashing and laughing and having fun. We wrote our names in the sand, played tag on the wet beach, made a sand castle; every minute of it spent having the time of our lives.

As the sun started to set, I made my way back up the beach to my towel and sat myself down, sighing; I was exhausted.

"Come on! Is that all you've got?" Louis yelled, bending over; breathless.

I laughed. "No, I'm sitting here breathless because I can run for another 3k's!"

He smiled, running over to where I was sitting.

"Come for a walk." He put his hand out to help me up, and I grabbed it. He pulled my up into a position where nearly every bit of our bodies were touching. I looked up into his eyes and smiled, happy to be in his arms. I leant up and kissed him on the cheek and detached myself from him with much difficulty. He smiled and pulled me back into his arms.

"I never want to let you go." He whispered, smiling the five-hundredth cheeky grin that afternoon.

My smile disappeared, scared of that cheeky grin. "What are you thinking?"

He grinned again, shaking his head and staring into my eyes.

"Seriously."

He smiled a half-smile that made me weak at the knees and sighed. "You really want to know?"

I nodded.

"Well, at this exact moment in time, I'm thinking of the best way to tell you what I want to tell you…"

"Just spit it out, should be easy enough since you never shut up." I said, smiling.

He laughed. "True, but this is really hard! Hayley, I… I've never said this to you or any other girl I've been with but… Hayley, I think I love you. No, I don't think, I know. Hayley, I love you, with every single bit of my heart and I don't ever want you to leave me because I know I will never, ever leave you. I can't ever love another girl after you, unless it's our daughter, Hayley. I understand if you don't feel the same way but-"

I put my fingers on his lips, having heard enough. "Lou, I love you too, the exact same way. Now shut up and kiss me."

I snapped out of my daydream and smiled. It had been an amazing dream, but of course, that was just it. It wasn't a dream. It was reality. From that day on, Louis and I had made a promise, to be together forever, and that was exactly what we did. I smiled over at the man of my life as we watched our children play, both of us knowing that everything was exactly how we'd wanted it to turn out, exactly how life was meant to be. Because everything was perfect. From the moment we'd started dating at the tender age of 21. Everything was perfect.
