*Louis’s POV*

“You want me to do… what?” I asked, shocked as Colton made himself at home by falling into the couch and putting his feet up on the coffee table.

“I want you to publically announce your feelings for her.”

Okay, we spent the past week trying to figure out what we should do as far as getting Cat back. Everything we talked about seemed stupid and suddenly out of the blue, he comes up with this? “She’s not the type that wants to get her face in the papers, mate.” I said to him.

Colton held up a hand. “But think, how else will she get the message? Who knows, she may just so happen to be there to here this and run openly into your arms.”

The fuck was he trying to get at? Run openly into my arms? Did he think this was some kind romantic movie or something? “But where, exactly?” I asked, slightly curious.

Colton help up a paper – no, a flyer. I took it from his hand, reading its contents. I scoffed at it. “Are you fucking kidding me?” I asked, holding it up. “You want me to confess by singing?”

Colton offered nothing more than a smile, which I’d like to describe it more as a smirk. “A lot of people will be there. She may be there.”

I let the flyer slip out of my hand and let it slide on the coffee table. I sat back on the couch, letting myself sink into the cushion. I guess I didn’t have much choice either way, plus, it wasn’t like it would be a bad idea. I puckered up my lips, if I were to sing though… what would I sing? A song came to mind and I cocked my head some as I debated. Yeah, that was it. “I see you are already planning this out in your head.” Colton said. I looked over to see him studying me.

“I’ll do it.” I said. I sighed as I rested my head back. Just the mere thought of being able to see her again, it excited me. It’s been so long since a feeling like this has happened to me. I’ve almost forgotten the feeling of having something to look forward. It was going to give me the motivation I needed to prepare myself.

Though I could feel the smile on my face, one little thought came across my mind. It was so small though, but soon seemed to erode my thoughts. My smile fell. No, it couldn’t be true, right? “What’s wrong? Something on your mind?” Colton asked me.

Sometimes I wondered just how well people could read me on the outside. I knew I wasn’t very good about hiding my emotions, so I wasn’t surprise Colton saw the small doubt written on my face. “What if… she’s…” I couldn’t find the words to finish.

“What if she’s what?” Colton urged me to finish.

I sat up a little on the couch and turned to face him. “It’s been a year. I’m sure she’s… met other people. I mean, what if she’s, I don’t know, has somebody else?”

Colton stared intently at me for what seemed like forever before he started laughing. This was Colton, I should’ve been used to it, but I couldn’t help but flinch some. What in the world is up with this kid? He led on for about five minutes and I just stared, wondering what it was I said that was so funny.

I could hear him sniff some as he reached over for the mug that was on the coffee table. “Oh, man, you crack me up. No… You should know her. Lacy’s not the type to get close to anyone out of random.”

I blinked. “Lacy?”

Colton’s laughter died down. “After she officially joined the CIA, she had to take up a new identity. Nobody really knows what her real name is except for certain CIA officials and herself.”

The mere comment made me think of way back. Back to the time where we first met and I was trying to figure out her name.

“Louis, I know you want to know more about me, but the less you know, the better.”

Those were her words. I wouldn’t live by them anymore though. I wanted to know everything she has to tell. I won’t just sit back and be oblivious to the world she lives in. She trusts me. I know she does. The day I chose to give my life away for her proved that much. The two months we were together, not a word about her was spoken. No word has been spoken about her up until now. Colton mysteriously knows, and I’ve never heard of him, nor even seen him in that matter.

I want to be in her world. Also, if she wanted, I wanted her to be in my world also.

Notes

I'm starting to dig myself a little hole here... I got three, well, technically four, fan-ficts going on right now -_-" This one for Louis, another with Liam, a NEW one for Niall, and one more that revolves all of the boys. Sheesh... I think I pretty much made it my life goal to write a fan-fiction that focuses on one of the guys each. Lol wow.

I'm trying to get myself caught up with everything.

Man, I hate writer's block. Probably why I always start a new story.

I'm gonna shut up now. Hope you enjoyed :D
