Chapter Fourteen: We're in the neon lights.
Eventually, when I woke up, he was back, fast asleep, holding my hand again. We were on our own.
"Pst, Louis." I whispered. He opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"Hey, you ok?" He said, leaning down by my bed.
I pulled back my cover. "Come in with me. That couch looks really lumpy."
He laughed and joined me wrapping the duvet around us both. He put his arm around my waist and let me lean on his chest.
"How long have you stayed here for?" I asked him.
He sighed. "Since you came in."
I frowned. "Why?"
"Because I love you. And I have since the moment I met you. The day I met you was the best day of my entire life. I don't know why I kept seeing Cher. When I slept with you I didn't want it to be just one night. I didn't think after all this time of not seeing you I'd feel this way about someone close to me, but I do, and I think we could make this last forever. When you're out of here, I'm taking you to downtown L.A. so you can be in the neon lights. Just you and me. Forever." He smiled and kissed my cheek softly.
I smiled at his words. I got hold of his hand and squeezed it.
"Why the fuck would Cher cheat on you? You're too great."
He sighed. "To be honest, I don't give a fuck anymore."
I frowned. "Sorry to bring it up."
"It's fine."
"Louis?" I said, nuzzling into his chest more.
"Hmm?"
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I didn't, not till I met you."
I laughed. "You are so fucking cheesy."
"I can stop if you want me to."
"Nah, I like it."
Daisy burst into the room, not even noticing we were in bed together. "Lou, Cher's with Harry and their doing it in a bathroom."
