As Lovely As You (George Shelley Fanfic)

Chapter 34 - When Someone Calls...

As I predicted, Ella and the boys were safe, but sadly, Kye and MK1 were not. They sang for survival and on that week 3 of the X factor, MK1 left.

I felt sad for Charlie and Simon, but at least they made it to top 12. And I liked Kye, he still was on the show so that was good.

“Kye is really handsome, I’m glad he stayed” I heard my aunt’s comment “But what about Olly Amelia?” I laughed “Oh, shut up!” she said entering on the bathroom and closing the door.

While she was taking a shower I tweeted a little bit more:

@Laura18: @Ella__Henderson I told you! Of course you were through!

@Laura18: The boys are safeeee :) @UnionJworld X

@Laura18: @RylanClark the spice boy is through! Haha xx

@Laura18: So sad for MK1! Those two were schamazing! wish the best of luck xx

 After so much twitter action, I needed a break. Stretched my arms and laid on the bed, my eyes we almost closing, when I heard my phone ringing.

I didn’t know what to expect. I was wishing it was George, but a part of me wasn’t that hopeful “Why would he call? He doesn’t like me anyway” I looked at the name on the screen and my eyes grew wider:

Alex Maynard Calling 

It took me four rings to answer it. After gathering some courage and taking a deep breath, I picked up:

- Hello?

- Laura? - he said 

- Yes? - I gulped

- You know who this is?

- Hi Alex - I greeted

We haven’t seen each other in almost 2 weeks. He sent me messages and we worked at the same place, but I was a freakin’ coward; changing work schedules to avoid him and didn’t answer a single text. And almost 14 days after a make-out session in front of a hotel sure seems like a good time to talk.

- Hey - he replied - Haven’t seen you in a while…

- Yeah I know. I’m sorry.

- You’re sorry for not seeing me? That’s kind of weird, cause I texted you a lot but never got an answer back - he said bluntly

- Alex, we need to talk I know - I sighed - And for not answering you, I’m really really sorry. But I’m a coward, I’m afraid of talks and people in general.

- So you’re afraid of me? - he laughed

- You know I’m not. It’s just that I’m a mess, I’m confuse, but above all I apologize a million times for not texting back.

- Haha, it’s okay, I forgive you, it seems like you’re a lot busy anyway, since I saw you on the Xtra factor! - he laughed

- God, you didn’t! Can’t believe people actually saw me, dammit! 

- Oh, people indeed see you. There are some rumors about you and that guy from the boyband.

- Yeah, but those are some crazy rumors!- I faked a laugh. If he only knew…

- Well, you’re friends with the contestants! You’re famous now! 

- Oh shut up! I’m not famous. I’m just a normal girl, staying at London with her aunt.

- Yeah, yeah, keep saying that. Anyway…will we see each other again? - he asked

- Hum…- I paused - I don’t know. This xtra factor thing with George and stuff, stupid rumors, it’s all kind of blurry

- Oh, I understand- I heard a sigh 

- But I’m sure this fuzz will disappear soon! Then we can meet and talk ok?

- Sure! You’ll text me? - he asked

- Yes! I promise.

- And will I see you at the coffee shop?

- I don’t know - I bit my lip - I really don’t, but I swear I’ll text you in a week or so

- I hope you do!

- I told you I will! I need to go now, but we’ll figure things out soon Alex

- Ok Laura…Bye - he said

- Bye - I hanged up.

Mother of god. What was that?? What am I thinking?? Figure things out? What things?! I like George, not Alex! How can I tell him that I don’t like him? How do you do those things? I’m just making it more complicated…argh.

I sank my face in the pillow and was ready to shut off the world. Yet, the universe seemed to crave my attention. I was receiving another call:

- Hey Ella - I picked up

- Laura - she said - You won’t believe it.

- Believe in what? - I asked

- They want to talk to you! - she replied excited

- They who Ella?!

- The Xtra factor producers!
