They Don't Know About Us [L.P]

Chapter 15

     After I got home, I fell on the couch. I was so tired, I've been up since five in the morning, falling asleep at one. I didn't get very much sleep and I've been waiting for Jesse to call me and he hasn't. I got up and went to the kitchen, making myself something to eat. As I was cooking, I heard a knock at the door. "Just a minute!" I yelled back. After flipping the spoon full of chicken, I set the spoon down and ran to the door, unlocking it. I opened the door to see Liam. I smile and ease up, seeing him again. 

     I hug him. "Hi!" I said. I step back and allow him in. He closes the door and I run back into the kitchen to my food. 

     "Ooh, smells good in here!" Liam said, standing next to the stool at the bar. I laugh. 

     "I know, it's killing me because I'm in front of it." He chuckles. 

     "How ya doing?" He asked, taking a seat. I shrug.  

     "Better I guess. I'm still waiting for him to call." I said, facing him. 

      "It might take him a while to land. California is on the other side of the US." I nod and turn back around. When I finished the food, I set it on a plate.

     "Hungry?" I asked Liam. He shakes his head. I take the plate over to the bar, standing in front of him. 

     "Good chicken though!" Liam said, taking a cube off my plate. I roll my eyes and laugh at him. Liam and I talked for a little while before he left. After doing the dishes, I grabbed my phone from the couch and walked into my room. I changed and sat down on my phone, scrolling through Twitter. 

     It was about five minutes when my phone was blowing up from Niall, Zayn, and Harry. Niall asking if I was okay. Zayn asking how I was holding up. And Harry sent a video of him and Louis. 

     "Stay smiling Kayla! We love you!!!" Louis said. 

      "We're stupid, but we're always here for ya, Kayla Kay!" I smiled and laughed as the video ended. I replied to all of them, thanking them for the late-night support. I turned my phone off and set it down on the side of my bed, crawling under my sheets, falling asleep. 

*****

      I woke up to my phone ringing. I picked it up and saw it was Jesse. I hit the green button and placed it to my ear. "Hello?" I asked, tiredly. "Jesse, it's about time!" I said. He chuckled. 

      "I just landed. And I was gonna call you in the morning so I wouldn't wake you." He said. 

      "Yeah, really stuck to that plan, didn't ya!" I teased. 

      "How are you doing over there?" Jesse asked. Okay, I was starting to get tired of that question. Come on, guys!

       "I'm fine. Spent most of the day with Harry from the band, then I went to Jules's salon and hung out with Antonio and Maddie afterward." I smiled at my day. 

       "No visit from Liam?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. 

       "Yes. Before I left their house and earlier tonight I saw him." I said, wanting to laugh. 

       "That's it? I get no detail?" Jesse asked to get on my nerves. I rolled my eyes again, sitting myself up. 

       "We hugged," I said. 

       "That's it?" He asked again, annoying me at this point. 

       "No, he kissed me Jess and I kissed him back!" I said sarcastically. Obviously knowing I was kidding, I heard him clap. 

       "That's what I wanted to hear!"

       "Of course it was!" I said. 

       "Well, it's late over there, so I'll let you get back to sleep." I nod, even though he couldn't see me. "Goodnight Kayla." 

       "Night Jess!" I hung up the phone and set it back beside me. I smile to myself. What an idiot. Now that he had me talking about Liam, I couldn't stop thinking of him. I miss him again. He came over just to check on me! The boys all texted me, Lou and Haz sending me that dorky video; I miss those boys already. I love them too much!
