Pick and Choose

Finally Alone

I'm not sure what the hell is happening anymore. I skipped out at dinner to avoid seeing Cedric and Louis. So now it's 10 and I'm arguing with Lulu about how meeting with James isn't a good idea.

"Come on Camila. James is convincing Louis to come here and I can go stay the night there so we can uh, talk things out." She begs me as she rummages through her trunk.

"Wait a second, Louis is coming here?" I ask. 

"Uhm, no.  Did I say that?" She shakes her head.  Lying bitch. 

"Lulu I just don't think this meet up with James is a good idea." I mumble. 

"Piper is out at George's for the night so you get the room all to yourself to do whatever you want.  Please let me do this." She begs. 

"Fine go.  But if it goes wrong don't blame me." I cross my arms. 

"Ugh perfect your the best." She runs over and kisses the top of my head.  "I'm gonna get ready."

"When are you gonna leave?"

"Whenever I get a warning."

"what's that supposed to mean?" i question.

she walks into the room, slipping a tshirt on, as someone knocks on the door.  "he's here!" she squeals. 

"who's here Lulu?" i stand up.  She slams the door open to reveal a very annoyed Louis with his hands on his pockets. 

"your here!" she slams her body against his and give him a big hug.  As soon as his eyes meet mine i watch as panic spreads across his face. 

"James didn't mention she was gonna be here." I hear him mumble to her. 

"He didn't?" she asks to which he shakes his head. 

"Take that out with him tomorrow.  See you guys at breakfast." She pats his shoulder, shoved him into the room and walks out as she closes the door behind her.

I keep my eyes on the floor. Nothing could be worse than this. Not only does Cedric think we hooked up hours ago but we're spending the night together in my dorm.

"I didn't know you were gonna be here, James told me you were staying somewhere else." He finally says.

"It's fine." I blurt out. "You can just sleep in one of their beds."

"Alright." He says, then walks over to Lulus bed and throws his bag on top as he takes a seat. He lets out of sigh and leans forward, putting his elbows on his thighs.

"Have you talked to Cedric?" I take a seat at my own bed and face him.

"Not since earlier, he's staying at Bella's tonight." He sighs again.

"I'm so sorry about earlier I shouldn't of walked in with you in the first place it all just happened really fast-"

"It's really not a big deal. Imagine if he would of found out when we actually had something going on though." He cuts me off.

I never know with Louis if there's something going on between me and him. Even though he was right, we technically weren't doing anything but there's always that awkwardness when we're together that I never know if it'll go away or not.

"Yeah." I mumble in reply.

This was just the best, sitting alone in a dorm room with absolutely nothing to do. Anything that came to my mind was flush away at the thought of him sitting across the room thinking the same as me. I couldn't help myself but glance up every once in a while as we sat in silence.
