༄ : ROLL CALL BABES !!! I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH !

"Ahh finally awake from your nap darling?" A voice spoke from my side.

Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I looked to find the voice and smiled. I walked towards Lou, sitting down my back rested against the arm rest, my legs sprawled across his lap. His hands laid on top of my legs, the sound of the tv was heard around the apartment.

"Where is everyone?" I asked questionably. He looked at me, grabbing my hand fiddling with my fingers.

"Willie went out on a date with Addie, he dropped Eva home along the way I think. And Tim went to visit Saoirse on set." I nodded my head at him, thinking for a second.

"You know I think Kuya has a crush on Saoirse." He looked at me and laughed. He agreed with me.

"Are you nervous for the award show? Do you think we'll win?" I asked.

"I think we're gonna be okay, sucks our family won't be able to come with us. I refuse to look at the other nominees though, it'll make me nervous." Louis confessed.

I agreed and laid my head back up to face the ceiling.

It was a calm Saturday, Louis and I were left at home, something we're used to. We usually go out on boba runs or to mini bookstores and read. But today I just felt like staying home. Maybe I should make some cookies? Or some rice krispies? I was in the middle of my thoughts when Louis face filled my view. His smirk making me laugh.

"Let's dance darling." He put his hand out for me to grab.

"Lou we always have dance parties. How do we not run out of songs?" I exclaimed as he put a random cd into my cd player. Rex Orange County soothing voice filled my ears.

Louis brought my head to the crook of his neck, letting me rest. Making me slightly tippy toe, his hands holding a bit of my weight at my waist.

I'll be the one
That stays 'til the end
And I'll be the one
That needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes
In a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes
But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around?

Louis kissed my forehead as our bodies swayed together with the sun shining through the windows.

When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

I chuckled as Louis's let go of my body, letting me twirl, my hair smacking his chest along the way.

'Cause I am the one
Who has waited this long
And I am the one
That might get it wrong
And I'll be the one that will love you
The way I'm supposed to, girl

Louis rested my head against his chest, him humming the song, his heart vibrating in my ears.

But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around, around?
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

I looked up at Lou his eyes shimmering with gleam. His face slightly golden due to the sun shining in through the windows. He pecked my lips, is tasting like strawberry.

Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments, see
Me and my lack of new news
Me and my selfishness
Or me and myself wish you nothing but a happy new version of you
'Cause I, I, mm-mmh

Louis pulled my body in, my left knee in between his legs as his arms carried my weight for us to kiss. One of his hands was resting behind my head underneath my hair. Mine was hanging around his neck.

I want you to tell me
You find it hard to be yourself
So I can say it's gonna be alright
And I want you to love me the way you love your family
The way you love to show me what it's like to be happy

My head was rested against Louis's chest, the end of the song humming away as we slowly danced around the room.

"You know we don't have to be those couples who post every month for our monthiversary. Maybe every 6 months." I whispered as the song fully ended, moving onto the next one on the record.

I felt Louis's head move as he looked down at me, his eyes meeting mine.

"Awe you think we'll make 6 months?" He said.

Oh.

I pulled away to get a clear look at the boy. "Why? You think we won't make 6 months?" I said in an accusing sounding voice.

The light in Louis's eyes disappeared as he realized what he said. His hands already reaching out for my waist to pull me back in. My body colliding with his.

"No, no I know we'll make it, I think it's sweet. You know that you think so too." He assured me.

Of course I think we'll make 6 months. I wanted to tell him, but I don't want to start a fight especially since this would be our first one since we started dating.

"Right okay." I replied leaning my head against his head once more, but my body felt stiff. The air around us was thick with unspoken tension.

"You believe me right?" Louis asked, sliding his hand up and down my arms, making my skin warm.

I shook my head, taking his hands off of my waist, releasing myself from him. "Yeah yeah of course I do Louis."

I looked at him, his head cocked to the side, some sort of confusion written all over his face.

"I don't think you believe me." He told me.

I rolled my eyes at him, unable to respond because the front door slammed open to have 5 people walk in loudly.

"We're here and we brought food!" Uncle Alex yelled.

Grateful for the distraction I turned to Louis and said, "Forget about it." And walked towards the food that filled the room with a yummy aroma.

Leaving Louis alone with his thoughts.
