Breaking Free ? TFC 2.0 ? l.t. au

Chapter Four

= MEG'S POV =

Saturday morning. When I woke up, my head hurts from all the crying last night. I didnt sleep well at all. I'd wake up in the middle of the nigh for no reason and go back to sleep but wake up 3 hours after. When I checked the clock it's only 7AM. Peter's probably awake and has left for work but aunt Cecile's asleep, I guess.

When I sat up my head began spinning. Stupid head rush.

The door swung open and I was surprised when Louis walked in. I thought he'd be back in his dorm by now. He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday except his shirt was buttoned down that exposed his chest. His hair is sticking up everywhere. He sat beside me and leaned in closer.

"How are you feeling?" He asks in a low husky voice. I shrug because I obviously don't have the answer to that. I heard him chuckle lightly. He reaches for my neck and pulls out the pendant thats been hiding under my shirt.

"You still haven't taken this off?" He asks, looking up at me with amusement.

"I don't have the reason to." I whisper.

The necklace came from him and it reminded me of him. I might've taken off the one with his initial but I left the half heart on. It always reminds me that he has the other half. It makes me feel important like I mean something to someone

"You're important to me, Meg. Whether you see it or not, you are." He says. I look down at him to see if he was kidding in any way but he was dead serious. He sits up and looks me in the eye. His arm wrapped around my waist as he leans forward and and kisses me on the lips. My hand wrapped around the back of his neck, pulling him closer.

The closer he is, the safer I feel.

His hand slowly lifted my shirt to expose my stomach. His hand feels so soft on my skin. He's so gentle and careful like Im a piece of fragile glass. My hands cupped his face; my thumb brush the gentle stubble on his chin. He doesn't smile but he deepens the kiss that is until the door swung open and he gets off, falling on the floor.

I turn and saw Lisa's eyes go big with her jaw dropped. She's awake at... 7:15?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You seem fine this morning..." Aunt Cecile said as I set up the table. She places a platter of fried chicken with scrambled eggs and newly fried bacon.

"I'm... I'm... I'm better, yeah." I say. It didnt come out as loud as I thought.

"Did you and Louis had something going on? You can tell me anything? Meg." She give me a smirk and I find it hard to stop myself from blushing.

"Lisa came in my room this morning and told me you two were... Doing stuff." She says. My eyes widen and I look at her.

"N-no... We, uh... Actually... We didnt... We did... It.... It was.... Diff... Different?" Shit.

"Well you know where to find the box of condoms, they're right in the top drawer of the bathroom."

"No!" I snap. She turned to me and laughed. I close my eyes and cover my face in embarrassment. She held my head in her hands and kissed my forehead. I sigh and slump my shoulders. "Better safe than sorry." She whispers.

I groan and slump on the chair. "I give up..." I murmur and ran a hand through my hair.

"Oh, Meg... Come on, let's go fix up the kitchen." She says, holding her hand out to me. Once we were in the kitchen, we both fell silent. Until she brought it up again.

"But I know you did something." She says without looking at me.

"We... We kind of made out... And Lisa saw us..." I say feeling the heat rush to my face.

She chuckle and stacked the plates us. "I knew it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about it, love." She says and walks out.

As soon as she went out, Louis came in wearing a dark blue shirt with a pair of dark denim jeans. A smirk on his face as he lifted me up the counter. He's only four inches taller than I am so when I sit on the counter, I'm taller.

"We should go out... Alone... Maybe in Christmas break?" He asks, lifting his eyebrows at me.

"It depends on where we're going" I say quietly.

"Perrie and the group are heading to Perrie's parents' vacation home in California... It's on top of Hollywood hills and it's got everything. It's not like you want to freeze your arse here in England in December.." He says with a smirk.

"California? Thats... Far." I say biting my lip nervously.

"Exactly my point." Our noses brush, making him chuckle. I smile and leaned forward to kiss him. He parts my legs so he's standing in between. He pulls away and leans his forehead on mine.

"Id go anywhere with you, Meg. Even if it means halfway across the world... Would you do the same?" He asks, brushing his thumb on my cheek. Without second thoughts, I nod.

"Well look at you two," our heads snap to the door where aunt Cecile was standing. "You can either join us for breakfast or you can have yourselves for breakfast. You know where to get what you need, Meg." She says with a smirk and hangs her apron on the hook.

"Should we go?" He asks.

"Yeah, let's go eat. I'm starving." I say, pulling his hand but he didnt move. I turn to him to see him grinning at me.

"I meant to California." He says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You said you'd go anywhere with me, right?" He asks, leaning his chin on my shoulder. Aunt Cecile is bathing the girls right now so we're left in the kitchen alone; I just finished washing the dishes.

I nod slowly and wipe my hands with the towel. He hold a piece of paper infront of my face. I move back and took it from him. I nearly crumpled the paper when I realized what it was.

"Im not going." I say quietly and turn to walk out of the kitchen. He grabs my arm and spins me around, trapping me on the wall.

"You said you'd go anywhere with me. I know you're not in good terms with your mum but... Meg, she really wants to see you there."

"No she doesn't. She just doesn't want to look bad infront of Rick's family. I know my mother thats why she didnt argue when I chose to stay here instead of with her." I say.

"I seriously doubt that." He says sarcastically. Yeah, there's the Louis I first loved. Why does he have that invitation in the first place? She didnt seriously invite him to bait me in going as well, didnt she?

"She invited you?" I ask him. He didnt say anything, instead he nods with a pitiful look. "Shes using you as a bait." I murmur, not meeting his eyes.

"I seriously don't give a shit. Only thing is, I'm going to your mum's wedding with or without you." He says seriously and keeps the paper in his pocket.

"You're kidding." I say. But I'm 100% sure he's not. He looks dead serious without a trace of slight humor in his eyes.

"You're going to a wedding where you know absolutely no one just because my mother invited you? You're delusional." I say.

"You know you're always welcome to come along. I'd have a better time with you around." He says with a smirk. "I always do."
