Stella's POV
My brother's bag of Skittles seemed endless. He was doing that thing he did, which was basically do everything in his power to annoy the fuck out of me. I lost count of how many Skittles he'd bounced off my forehead after 13. I was just trying to read my book. Leo had returned the last page of my last one as he announced his departure from tour, and now I was already on to another one. That was of course, if Louis would let me focus. He stopped throwing Skittles for maybe 3 seconds before coming over to me on the bench and started picking Skittles out of my hair like he was a fucking orangutan picking bugs out of his child's hair.
"What are you doing?" I complained.
"I need my Skittles back." He shrugged. I tried to flinch away from him but I was already against a wall so I really had no where to go.
"Knock it ooooffff." I whined. Suddenly he switched from monkey behavior to tickling me, which I guess was less weird all things considered.
"Go get a life!" I complained, fighting against him.
"I have one, she's in my bunk right now." He smirked, referring to Ava. I groaned and hit him.
"Stop it!" I laughed, and then shook the Skittles out of my hair for him to pick up like girlies picking up confetti at a Taylor Swift concert. After he had them all gathered and back into his Skittles bag he returned to his spot across the room from me. We were in the front of the bus for once, so there was more distance between us than there would be if we were in the back.
"Stella, I have a question for you." He announced, opting not to throw any more of the Skittles at me.
"Oookay, what?" I asked.
"At what point were you going to tell me about MSG Sphere?" Louis wondered.
"How'd you know about that?" I sighed.
"Oli told me last night." He shrugged. Last night was our last night in Florida and we were currently on our way to Atlanta. For some reason the two of us were the only ones up this early.
"How'd Oli find out?" I wondered.
"Oli knows everything." Louis shrugged. I sighed.
"I just didn't want to tell because I know you. If I told you I was performing at the MSG Sphere you'd cancel your show so you could come and I don't want you to do that." He was already starting to talk about cancelling a show to attend Ava's art show. Every time he brought it up that vein in Matt the Manager's forehead popped out like he was about to Venom out and kill Louis himself.
"Stella, after we missed your album release party I promised myself I'd be there for every big thing that ever happens for you. MSG Sphere is a big thing. I know I fucking will never be able to play MSG Sphere." He explained.
"I'm just opening..." He launched a Skittle at me and I ducked. It still hit me on the head.
"Still. I want to be there for you." He informed me.
"And I want you to be in London. Promise me, Louis, promise me you won't cancel your show."
"I'm not promising that..."
"Louis. I don't want you to cancel your show." I said firmly. Louis rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.
"I won't cancel my show." He finally relented.
"Good." I replied. He got up and yawned.
"I'm going back to bed. Behave yourself." He said.
"Shut. Up." I complained. He smirked in his devil boy way and then dumped his entire bag of dirty Skittles on my head.
